Famine in Far-Go area map...

I'm with you mearrin on the card game thing. Plus, I really don't like the idea of never knowing what your mutation is going to be. Unless I understood that completely wrong every time you go into battle you have a different mutation. For me that's not fun Role play. I prefer to know beforehand what my role is. Anyway that's another diskushun.

Great map!

Bear in mind that it is quite possible to be playing as a swarm of psionic kittens in Gamma World. Gamma World is not a serious roleplaying game in any respect. It's really good at short 1 offs between another campaign and doing perfectly zany things. In this context the cards are an amazing and fun addition. It's worth noting that "boosters" or similar nonsense isn't required. It isn't a competitive game (it's still fundamentally DnD, just with moths that shoot radioactive laser beams and pig cops with cannons that fire atomic chickens), so there is no need to have a magic the gathering like arms race with cards or anything.

But really, gamma world is not serious business in any respect.

As for the map in the OP, I am conflicted because I like both of the maps presented. I actually think the OPs has a more gritty look to it and I rather like that for Gamma World, which just seems to scream terrible pulp science fiction. I mean if you want to know how I get in the mood for writing my GW campaigns I watch terrible B-horror movies like Inseminoid, Eight Legged Freaks and Slither. Albeit, two of those are probably in a different league of terrible to Inseminoid in fairness. I think that movie actually transcends utterly terrible.
