INTRODUCTION
Everyone thought the Martians had died. In a sense they had.
But they left behind seeds that grew into even more horrible monsters and caused waves of genetic mutations. It seemed the Earth would be overgrown by this new alien ecosystem.
Humans with knowledge of ancient magic and weird science desperately tried to use the salvaged Martian technologies to fight back this new threat.
Legends from every culture throughout the ages say there is another world.
An alternate world that is connected to Earth like a shadow.
A hidden realm made from the stuff of dreams and nightmares.
Most of the paths and gates to this world have been obscured or locked for millennia.
Now strange magic and arcane energies unleashed on Earth have spoiled and eroded many forgotten portals to this mystic world.
Creatures thought to exist only in folklore are stepping through...
Gamma Red Death World is a game set on Earth in the late 1800's after an alien invasion. It uses Labyrinth Lord and Mutant Future as the core rules.

Success: If the power throw is equal to or less than current power points then the power works as written in the rules. Subtract 1 point from power points.
Failure: If the power throw is greater than current power points then power fails to work. Subtract 2 points from power points.
Backfire: If current power points are 8 or less, each time a power throw fails something bad happens.
