What do you think of it? It's basically Fallout with furries (Kipo didn't have robots or guns).

link me a pdf and i'll tell you

Sounds totally fucking gay.

>>97307201
Just look in House Griffon in the Palladium Books section

>>97307213
It's from back when TMNT wasn't for kids, so I wouldn't really call it gay.

I think you should buy an ad.

>>97307188
It's not bad, but it annoys me that the only important human faction are literal nazis? Would've it killed them to add, dunno, a remnant of the U.S army to serve as basis for human player characters?

>with furries
I hate it.

>>97307188
It's a Palladium game so by its very nature it is incredibly flawed. And I say that as somebody who played Palladium almost exclusively as a teen.
>>
>>97307283
Its to point out that the only people that survive are the worst most self centred people

>>97307427
Yeah, but it wasn't a nuclear apocalypse what ruined the world here, it was a freaky virus that made animals people.

I already called it gay. You don't need to convince me any further.

I loved this game as an adolescent. It was my first point by system. I since moved on to Hero System which does all of that better, including a knockoff called "After the Blast" which is in the Post Apocalypse source book and is a fraction as long.

But by the time I was a graduate, furthest came into prominence, so everything about AtB is tainted for me now just like all those Redwall novels I enjoyed as a boy.

You should read the Mirage comics and tell me how that opinion holds up once you reach the infamously bad Guest Era.
>>
>>97308486
Still not for kids.

>>97307283
What do you expect for a remnant of the U.S army to do in a world where humanity already ended up killing themselves?
>>
>>97308792
I've read the comics and I've read the TMNT&OS books and the After the Bomb books. The idea that mirage TMNT was this gritty, super adult, hardcore gorefest is simply not true. The bullshit Siembieda said about the cartoon ruining his business is also bullshit. By the time the cartoon came out, they were downplaying the TMNT association, but also publishing lots of specific and not especially useful books for anyone who was already playing the game.

Like imagine you get a mutant animal superheroes game going with other strangeness and then Palladium starts exclusively publishing material for a different Post-apoc setting. You're not running a post-apoc game. You're not really interested in one either. You don't think you need books full of setting info for Australia and the Yucatan and probably never will. So you don't buy them. The next year the TMNT cartoon comes out and it's awesome, but it has no bearing on if you keep running your game or not.

Ask the Desert Rangers or the Brotherhood of Steel.

>>97307398
>>97308277

Hey, it's my experience too. A lot of fond memories bound up in it, but in the end, playing it means using the Palladium ruleset, and that's just a clunky piece of crap.
>>
>>97307188
I always wondered how would Fallout's own mutants fit here. Like what would the anti-human mutants' attitudes towards ghouls and super mutants? Would the NCR be friendly towards talking animal people?

1st edition more enjoyable to read, much shorter, and had better art.

Ranger: keep to themselves, maybe open relationships with friendly mutants, make clear to all the others humanity is here to stay but not in a fascistic manner.
Brotherhood: just like in canon, except even more vindicated because most mutants aren't human at all, but they have to be careful because heavy weapons are common and I doubt power armor can survive being crumpled by a mace-wielding elephant man.

His original version as TMNT universe where things went wrong was better >>97310482 imo

Not to mention that they put absolutely fucking NO effort into creating any kind of setting in TMNT&OS to ease GMs and players into the game. Seriously, Palladium Fantasy, Rifts, Nightbane, Dead Reign, those games have enough lore to choke a 40Ktuber to death with, but TMNT&OS has nothing. Zip. Zilch. If you're a new GM, you're expected to just make up an entire setting from scratch, and what's worse is that when the game first released, the Mirage comics themselves consisted of 4 issues and a 1-issue Raphael special, so THEY weren't exactly brimming with worldbuilding inspiration either.

Seriously, Siembieda trying to blame the Fred Wolf cartoon for killing the hype is the most obvious attempt at passing the buck imaginable. That cartoon had better worldbuilding than Siembieda's game did, and that's an inarguable fact. And it was STILL a toy-driven goofy Saturday morning kid's show.

I just fucking love kangaroos with uzis.
