GAMMA WORLD
Less dramatic but more important than the destruction of the continents was the alteration in its surviving inhabitants. Not 1 in 5000 humans lived through the upheaval. Those that survived witnessed a biogenetic revolution. Animals began to repopulate the earth…and what animals! Vast herds of jackrabbits the size of horses began to cover the great plains. A strain of beetle appeared that grew to a length of 3 meters. A mutated form of shark adapted to life on land and began to prowl the desert. But more important than these physical mutations were the mental mutations that began appearing…lizards with telepathy and precognition, plants able to disrupt the molecular structure of their victims, a dog-man capable of telekinesis. Nor was man immune to the effects of massive doses of biogenetic chemicals and radiation. All manner of mutations soon entered the gene pool. Most were defects that disappeared. But in the 150 years after the holocaust many became a permanent part of the human breeding stock.
This, then, is the Gamma World…successor to planet earth. It is a land of brooding forests, wild unbroken plains and rugged mountains. In places the wilds give way to man-made deserts where cities once stood. Scattered across the continents are a few settlements where the heirs of industrial barons force a precarious living from the hostile land. In this place, nature is merciless, death is quick and strangers are regarded with suspicion. Faced with a harsh environment, the survivors of the holocaust have joined together for protection in tribes, clans and feudal states. Augmenting these social systems are the so-called Cryptic Alliances…secret brotherhoods devoted to the reorganization of society according to their own beliefs. There are many of these, some born long ago in the Shadow Years.
Journey now into the far future where life is both dangerous and exciting…where those who lived before the 24th century are called "the Ancients" and are regarded with awe for their dimly understood art and science…where the wonders of man's highest technology exist side by side with the stone axe and the coat of chainmail…where exotic mutations abound and strange new powers of the mind shape human life.
