This Session is Full. Sorry I missed you. Hopefully we can game together in future. Have a great weekend. Game Day With Fallout: The Roleplaying Game Date: Saturday, February 4th Start Time: 9:00 AM PST / 5:00 PM GMT Duration: 5 hours, +1 hour optional buffer, if needed to finish Voice: Voice will be run on Discord Everything Else: Roll20 is used for everything else: character sheets, maps, handouts, music, and sound effects Tonight, the town celebrates its Founders’ Day. Unfortunately, your celebrations ended early when Jesse Pedigrue, the leader of the town, informed you of a break-in at the tarberry farm on the settlement’s outskirts. Jesse did not want anyone in town to panic during the party and has asked you to all investigate the break-in–quietly. Each of you stand now just outside the small farm of Joseph and Theresa, a kind, old ghoul couple who never showed up for the celebration. Before you, the front door of the one-story adobe farmhouse is shattered into a pile of wooden scraps that lie just beyond the dark interior of the home. Lively music and the sounds of revelry drift from the center of town, just audible over the whistling winds of a coming storm. From within the farmhouse there is only silence. There are open seats for this Saturday's game. If you’re in want of a game day or just want to hang out in the wasteland, this is your opportunity to let your inner wastelander wander. In this eighth installment, we will be starting a new adventure, With a Bang, or a Whimper . Since there’s a bit of a mystery about this adventure, I’m asking that only players who are unfamiliar with the story behind this mystery join. However, this adventure is found at the back of the core rulebook. So if you already have a copy of the rules and you understandably read through it, you already know everything; so best to sit this one out. But for anyone that hasn't read the adventure, here’s a chance to jump in and explore this system and setting for an easy day of casual RPG fun. And just to keep it easy, there are plenty of pre-made characters ready to take you into this exciting landscape. All you need do is pick one. This is a game of action and adventure set in the post-apocalyptic world of the Fallout franchise. The system is Modiphius’ 2d20 system, an RPG that encourages creative thinking, initiative, and a unique system that fosters team cooperation and strategy. For those that are familiar with the video games, this game is set in the Commonwealth area of what used to be the Boston Metro region, prior to the events introduced in Fallout 4. The full rulebook has been added to the Roll20 game and is available in the compendium: everything one needs to understand the game, not that you need to do this. Again, everything will be ready for you to drop into a character’s skin and venture out into the storied wasteland. However, this does offer the opportunity for those who are good self-starters and are perhaps more experienced roleplayers, to take a stab at making a character of their own, as long as they are capable of doing so without needing help, as I will have my hands full getting everything ready. If that’s not you, then consider playing a pre-made instead. Because these 2d20 games really shine when teams cooperate and work together, I will be looking for players who demonstrate an ability to put the team foremost and not always seek to be the go-it-alone type. This game acts best if there are characters who can function as builders while others act as consumers; everyone wins in the end. It’s a great system if you want to act as a support character, but you will need to learn the nuance of how those function. I like to emphasize story and encourage roleplay and exploration of character, over brute force. But this is Fallout ; it is a game of action and adventure, but how it plays out depends on what you bring to the table. For me, it's about being in character and having fun just living the feeling of being in that setting. And if that's you and you have some time and are interested, please consider joining us for a game day. We'd love to hang with you. This is j ust an easy-going game day to have some fun and socialize. As always for my games, the primary rules for interaction are courtesy, patience, acceptance, tolerance, and having respect for everyone. Newbies are welcome. Games are always free. Having or knowing the rules is never required. And for " one-off" social games like this, characters will be provided. All you need to do is show up, ready to have some fun. PM me if interested.
