Jan 20, 2011 3:30:11 As the title states, are there any rules about this? For characters to reach levels above 10? I have yet to pick up famine expansion...

Jan 20, 2011 11:11:44 I don't actually expect there will be -- Gamma World seems to play just fine as a ten level game.

Jan 20, 2011 11:55:02 I'm fine with 1-10 since my characters rarely reach level 2.

Didn't Dave the Aardvark get to level 4 before being MAD'd to death by Robot Ronald Reagan?

Jan 20, 2011 13:13:06 Yeah, when my players reach lvl 9 I'll worry about continuing the game past that point... maybe.

Our group kinda went thru this when we switched over from D&D to Starwars. That game ends at lvl 20. At 1st we didn't like this. But after playing for a while it didn't make sense to continue a game past that point. The theme and feel of the game is different from D&D despite the mechanics being similar.
I think it'll be the same way with GW.

That a line like this is perfectly reasonable in this game setting is possibly the biggest argument for playing it.

Jan 20, 2011 17:45:11 Thanks guy, maybe I am worrying to soon, I guess I am just trying to always be prepared. While we are on the subject of levels, is the level progression standard?

Like 4th and 8th levels you get a +1 to two different scores?

And of course there are no feats...

Jan 20, 2011 18:15:25 Nope, you never get ability score increases in D&D Gamma World, and of course you don't get feats. The level progression chart is entirely different from the D&D chart.

Jan 20, 2011 18:59:27 If you have a PC make it to 10th level they should become an NPC and rule over large areas of Gamma Earth!

Thats the best idea Ive read on here.

Ive yet to even hear of a PC making it above 4th.

We should start a new entry under the rules questions at the top of this forum, like a "Hall of Fame" for those who make it to 10th... then they can be used as NPCs by all...

Feb 27, 2011 20:02:02 Personally, based on the fact that most every d20 game I've played falls apart or never makes is above level 9 anyway, I don't see the need.
