Turnkey (Gamma World)

Turnkey is a ancient table top role playing game preserved by the Lil. No one is really sure of the game's origin with two legends surrounding how the Lil came to be entrusted with the keeping of the game. In one legend the Great Mother (who birthed the first Lil) entrusted the game to her children. In another legend an ancient biggum was saved by the Lil and befirended them- giving the game's core rules and complete box set (which had been stored in thier CEEP) to the Lil as the Lil enjoyed it so much. Whatever the origin may be the Lil are certain it came from the Ancients (Lil lore states that their Great Mother was an Ancient before ascending the ties of life into a governing goddess in the after from which she looks after them all). The rules are so complex that most of the Gamma World's population are unable to learn how to play or rather lack the patience to learn.
==Gameplay==
Turnkey is at it's core what's known as a rogue like table top dungeon crawler. A rather simple origin but Turnkey represents how complex these games got before the Social Wars lead to a massive societal collapse or rather served as a violent expression of that collapse. Most of the game relies on dice roles and the referencing of lookup tables. The main focus of the game is best described as 'turn the key and see what's inside' or 'turn the key and see what's behind'. Rooms and containers all have randomized content and features with players being thrilled by the unknown.
===Character Creation===
Character creation involves skin, eyes, hair, nose length, nose shape, and other measurements. Players start out with a 'what I want my character to be' and then go through a 'life story' where they see if their character becomes that or someone else entirely by experience. This generates the character's biography- their history- and motives. It also determines their present financial situation and contacts. If they have any enemies and why they do.
===Turnkey's Table===
Turnkey was designed for play on a holographic projection table but this tech three artifact is rare. Most Lil use their own Illusion generation powers to play the game. When using a table one needs certain programs to upload information with data records being recorded on a data storage device.
===Combat===
An extremely detailed set of rules govern combat in an attempt at a realistic simulation. The game utilizes lookup tables which resolve injuries to specific digits, organs, and bones, and simulates the physics of different attacks, such as bullets with different velocities.
