In a post apocalyptic world few strive to survive and a few of those who still roam the earth now look to make something of the ruins that was once our world.
Question, who would be the GM and what type of buy system would we use along with starting gold?
Well, I'm not sure who is looking to GM so far.
Typically, gear/supplies for Fallout (and other P.A. style games in general) are very much "story driven."
That is, you are typically unable to "outfit" your character as you see fit, since the GM (or game system in general) will provide you the very basics (and sometimes more or less) and not much else.
Preferably, we can get this working with PF rules as is, excepting the full-casters & using the Armor as DR variant rules.
Some of the skills would have to be re-worked as well.
@Psionichamster: oopse I was unclear >.< Dam you work killing my brain. I meant for the builds of the characters like how Society uses 20 points and a homebrew I am in uses a 30 point build.
Since we've been asking about it, and we haven't decided, I've taken the initiative [rimshot] and made a Fallout Campaign using what we've discussed here on this thread, as well as a few more things I've thought about.
I'm guessing Wareagle dropped this, like so many games have fallen into the abyss...
SinBlade's game looked pretty cool, but it's going on now. I'm thinking I may start a game before too long... I'll have to finish putting together rules and systems and everything, though.
yeah i am in SinBlades game now and it is a lot of fun. unfortunately it let me to play fallout on the xbox again, which made me want to play in yet ANOTHER fallout pbp game.
as for rulesets, there are two pretty good ones out there. theres the free fallout pnp rules 2.0 out there and there is Exodus, and that ruleset is cheap.
from what i can tell the Fallout pnp rules are more crunchy and realistic, everything is a % roll, the system is truly classless as far as i can tell. for Exodus, it's kinda closer to pathfinder, with PCs generally feeling more powerful, there are base classes and advanced classes. I havent played with either system, but i have read both through a time or two.
Hm.... I shall look through both of those. My plan is to pick and choose bits and pieces from whatever rulesets have something I like. I plan to give credit where it's due, of course, and I'm not going to claim to be doing anything original. But I think there's good stuff in every game.
Also, the fallout pnp 2.0 link is broken up there.
Never fear, Nihil! I may just be starting a campaign. Ordered Fallout 3 since I'd looked at it before and was inspired by the campaign starting... and now I really like it and want to start a campaign for it. So, I'll get recruitment up when I'm ready for all that!
i never got rid of it! One of my old DMs recommended the game to me, i had given it a miss since i wasnt into 1st person shooters. so glad i picked it up though, definitely in my top 5 favorite games.
