You said that you have a .44 magnum. Is it scoped or unscoped? And will this be your free weapon or do you want to take a Martial weapon for free?
As a Cleric, you may take Martial Weapon Proficiency at 1st lvl as a bonus feat, since you don't have a Deity.
If you wish, you may use a faction as a Deity, and have these feats instead. All of them will have the Healing domain, so as to avoid confusion:
Brotherhood of Steel (LG): Laser Rifle
Enclave (LN): Plasma Rifle
Wastes (TN): Assault Rifle
Communistic China (LE): Chinese Assault Rifle
Super Mutants (CN): Hunting Rifle
Talon Company (NE): Combat Shotgun
As for armor, I'd recommend a suit of Combat Armor and a Combat Helmet, found here. Very strong, easy to find, and in Operation Anchorage, Field Medics wore these with the medical cross on them, so it would fit in the Marshes perfectly.
Brotherhood as Diety, Combat Armor and Helmet it is. Thanks for thinking that up. Marcel, Chinese is a great idea. Chinese will be my second language. I'll get a Laser Rifle later since I have already gone with the .44 Mag. It is unscoped.
My first character in Fallout:3 died because there were too many radroaches. Seriously, 5-6 of the things at low levels with no real weapon makes for a tough fight.
Picked up Fallout 3 and New Vegas the other day for some research. I think I like the roleplaying version we have going here better than the video game, lol. And the games are damned fun. To me, that is really saying something.
I didnt like new vegas. i felt the story was garbage compared to fallout 3. in 3, you are following the trail of your lost father, whereas in New Vegas, its just "sum1 shot me so im mad lolz grrr"
I do like 3 better. I have GOTY edition on my PC right now. I spoke with the Gm and anything that involves a survival to normally look for stuff in rooms etc., I can use a Profession instead which is pretty kick ass for lv 1.
as much as i try to give old games a chance, i couldnt get into the old fallouts. i didnt have a computer back then so i had played F3 first, and i liked the first player nature of it. plus if i remember correctly the first ones were hard for no reason (as games often were back then)
I've done Fallout 3 and New Vegas. I prefered New Vegas over 3 because the whole game was just simply brighter, the story moved faster, in my opinion, and the other characters didn't seem like they were cut from cardboard. Granted, the whole game series doesn't feel like that, but 3's characters just seemed a little cliche'd to me by comparison.
I've played both Fallout 3 and New Vegas, and I personally prefer 3 just because of the cliches in it. Sure I don't mind having an ammo reloading station that lets me make MFC out of anything else, but I enjoy looking around the ruins of what was Washington DC. Vegas just doesn't appeal as much to me. I'd totally get NV if I could, don't get me wrong.
I am guessing it is just take what we think we need or want and that is about the extent of it. If there is a disagreement on something like I wanted [Insert item here] We can negotiate something with that.
So, due to unforeseen circumstances, my computer is gonna be in the shop for about 2-3 weeks. Don't worry, I'll still be able to post as often as I can.
When I was done typing that last line in the gameplay thread, there was a clap of thunder outside. Freaky!
ah i love fallout PbP so much i wish i was playing in two of them right now hahahaha
so many ideas.
on that note, i am in the extremely early stages of looking at possibly running an Exodus campaign (by Glutton Creeper Games). Note all the non-definitive statements in there) I have the books on pdf and some adventures, just trying to internalize the information for a better gaming experience.
FYI: Exodus was supposed to be fallout pen and paper but they got slapped with a cease and desist from Bethesda while they were about to release fallout 3. it seems like an older system, lacking polish, but still very cool. if/when i decide to do it i will let you all know.
Sounds like what happened with the original Elder Scrolls online. Bethesda told them to stop with Oblivion online. I have a feeling that is gonna happen to the current Elder Scrolls online as well.
GM, how do you handle posting and initiative order? Do we post whenever and you post a summary? Do we wait for our specific turn and then act? Does the group before the enemy act, then the enemy, then the remaining group acts?
Going as initiative in a group though prevents issues with the enemies' actions upsetting posts by people lower down in the initiative order.
Real-game example: Everyone posted, then the enemy- who was mid-way in the init order, used his Sea Serpent powers to grapple half of us. Much confusion.
