You do a great job outlining the whys/whatfors that, ultimately, are fun to tweak. <br /><br />I did a post a while ago on <a href="http://gammaworldwar.blogspot.com/2011/05/post-apocalypsewhen-is-that-exactly.html" rel="nofollow">different eras/themes</a> (akin to what Sniderman said). A few are more in that "wahoo" vein of which you wrote. <br /><br />P.S. I think "wahoo" qualifies as a new addition to Jeff's <a href="http://jrients.blogspot.com/2006/02/i-got-your-threefold-model-right-here.html" rel="nofollow">threefold game model</a>!Jayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07997164906328234122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8170674472098446028.post-92164136104978955292011-06-28T22:45:03.475-04:002011-06-28T22:45:03.475-04:00the first Mutant Future game I ran was a Mutant an...the first Mutant Future game I ran was a Mutant and Mazes game set in a world where magic lead to advanced genetic engineering technologies. The players took the role of government agents who were charged with correcting experiments gone wrong, hunting down natural-birther terrorists, and other dissidents hiding in the city's digestive tract.<br /><br />It was a a pretty fun game, although probably more Laby Lord then M-F.BlUsKrEEmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05050270487818381832noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8170674472098446028.post-2900957115193071152011-06-28T18:35:52.183-04:002011-06-28T18:35:52.183-04:00I too am looking forward to reading your thoughts ...I too am looking forward to reading your thoughts JD.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8170674472098446028.post-67909951230639286732011-06-28T15:42:33.731-04:002011-06-28T15:42:33.731-04:00I have written a whole article about styles of pla...I have written a whole article about styles of play at the Mutant Future Wiki: http://mutant-future.wikia.com/wiki/Gaming_Philosophy<br /><br />Sorry in advanced for the spelling errors, and there might be a little Wahoo bias in there - if you have better ideas, its open to edits and revisions.Malcadonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03111796978336546944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8170674472098446028.post-13525507091759633252011-06-28T13:24:26.625-04:002011-06-28T13:24:26.625-04:00Good stuff!Good stuff!John Matthew Staterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02310914386482078369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8170674472098446028.post-70801375109628044972011-06-28T12:30:36.369-04:002011-06-28T12:30:36.369-04:00The first post for a Different Mutant Future calle...The first post for a Different Mutant Future called Atomic Zombie Apocalypse will be posted later today.

Primates have evolved/mutated as the dominant species.<br />Waterworld - Ice caps melted, flooding the earth. Mankind lives on floating atols and ships.<br />My favorite:<br />Stupidworld - Technology became so advanced, mankind no longer needed to think for himself and began de-evolving. So high tech everywhere, but mankind is stupid and tech is failing and in disrepair.Tim Sniderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17390608104314125626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8170674472098446028.post-22401462382950987722011-06-28T11:06:30.783-04:002011-06-28T11:06:30.783-04:00Nice post.
