Check out this thread at RPGNet concerning GW6. Bruce Baugh posted some snippets from the GW monster manual today here.

It's looking good and he's managed to include most of the creatures from all of the previous editions.

When is this book coming out? I hate waiting! My thoughts are getting somewhat scattered due to excitement!How much is Mutants & Machines gonna cost? I may want to start a GW campaign after I get this book and the Gamma World Book.

It seems the GW Players Handbook and the GW Monster manual will be released very close together. Both will be 224 pages. I'm guessing at least $29.99 apiece or whatever they are selling the Ravenloft core book for (it's the same size).

If you go back and have a close read of the press release in the "Coming in October" thread, it actually lists the GW PHB as retailing for US$34.95.

I don't have definite figures for Mutants and Machines, but I would guess that it'd probably be around the same figure. I've (literally) just checked with Bruce Baugh, and he doesn't have an exact figure at this stage, but we'll let you guys know as soon as we find out.

FWIW, I've read some of the entries in M&M beyond the ones Bruce has posted up as teasers on RPGnet. Apart from the new takes on the old critters, there's a really cool mix of some goofy ones, some just plain cool ones, and a couple of downright scary ones.

Also, Ian Watson, the host of the excellent Wolf Spoor website is hosting an interview with Bruce Baugh, predominately about Gamma World. If you have any questions for Bruce, head on over and leave your questions.

cheers
Geoff
