I dive in for my review of the gonzo, high octane, in your face, post-apocalyptic roleplaying game Neon Lords of the Toxic Wasteland Core Rulez – Total Carnage Edition from Super Savage Systems. The game world is a mashup of the 1980s and 1990s mixed with mutants, alien invaders, Mad Max dystopia, and more. NLotTW is built on the core of B/X and is an old-school influenced RPG yet brings a lot of new elements to the table.

SUMMARY

While the presentation is an absolute mess - lot's of luck finding specific information - I have to highly recommend Neon Lords of the Toxic Wasteland Core Rulez on the merit of the sheer amount of wild, crazy, and fun content you'd want to use at your game table found within. Granted, I certainly wouldn't use the core rulez system as written but I'd certainly crib a metric ton of the game options, monsters, spell casting, classes and more to use with whatever flavor of gonzo post-apocalyptic RPG I would be running.
