I am a pretty big fan of any game that is futuristic, cyberpunk, sci-fi, or post-apocalyptic. I don’t know why. I think my brain is just wired a certain way where I can picture those settings more easily than fantasy. So when I see a new game that embodies one, or all, of those settings it usually catches my eye. Alpha Omega was one of those games.
Alpha Omega is a post-apocalyptic setting where Earth endured nuclear and biological terrors, and a war that brought humanity to the brink of extinction. Alpha Omega and Mind Storm Labs were nominated for three Ennie Awards, including: Best Interior Art, Best Production Values, and Best Publisher. Since I have not gotten my hands on a copy yet, I figured I’d give a little link love to my fellow roleplayers. Here are a few links that you can use to find out more information about Alpha Omega.

Just got my copy of the Core Rulebook in the Mail. It’s beautiful. Definitely worth the money. Can’t wait to dig in to the system.

After reading through quite a bit of the content on the main site I must say that this game looks amazingly promising. I really can’t wait to get into the game. (wink wink Sam)
