The year is 2162 (or Six Monkey Slap-Slap according to the reformed calendar). It's been 150 years since the Big Mistake, and the Earth is a very different place. The ruins of the Ancients litter a landscape of radioactive deserts, mutated jungles, and vast, unexplored wildernesses. Strange new creatures, such as beetles the size of cars and super-evolved badgers with Napoleonic complexes, roam the world. The survivors of humanity gather in primitive tribes or huddle in trade towns that rarely rise above the technology of the Dark Ages. Even the nature of humanity is now different, because generations of exposure to radiation, mutagens, and the debris of other realities have transformed humans into a race of mutants who have major physical alterations and potent mental abilities. This is the world of Gamma Terra, a world of dangerous mutant monsters, jungle-grown ruins of the cities of the Ancients, and mysterious artifacts of awesome technology. It's your world to survive, to explore, and to conquer - if you're up to the challenge. CHAPTER ONE: TEMPLE OF THE HOSTESS Even at night, the Great Mound can be seen at a distance thanks to a trio of gamma moths that flit about and intermittently emit blasts of radiation - Snap, Crackle, and Pop the local mutos call them. During the day, it's the biggest damn gigant nest you've ever seen, and legend has it, these mutated bugs built their home around the ruins of the Ancients known as the Temple of the Hostess. When the Ham Riders - porkers with moto-bikes and attitudes - drove into town and took over the hardhold, their demand (and the consequences of non-compliance) was clear: Get into that Temple and retrieve its legendary holy relic, The Last Twinkie, or be slow-roasted on a spit and served with lettuce and tomato on rye. Every able-bodied freak in Danger Town was put to the task, and even a few that weren't so able-bodied. You're among them. Never mind the automobile-sized gigants that call that place home or the urban legends that the Temple is rumored to contain twisted survivors and live metal from the Before Times. You need that Twinkie or Danger Town is toast.
