Old Orleans, New Trouble: A Fallout Campaign (Inactive)

Game Master SinBlade06

Take your time Bilbo. Whenever you wish to join the combat, just say so.

Tenro, tell me what you want to do for Scab's next turn and I'll GM post it with Andy's next turn.

ill shoot whichever one remains with my plasma pistol.

ill be back reliably tonight or tomorrow (have to head up to seoul today and gonna be gone most of the day, but probably lots of wifi up there

At this point in the story, you guys will be back in the city soon. You'll be able to RP a little, update your inventory, etc.

Not to spoil anything, but if you want to change anything about your character, now's the time.

Really guys, good job. I never thought this would be so successful.

Just so I don't surprise you guys, Adam and Andy will set up a mechanic shop from here on. He can get you guys some of what you want/need mechanics wise.

Brother Edward, I should have specified, but the stimpak gauntlet is how you'll be able to use your Lay on Hands. It's considered a returning Stimpak so you'll always have them.

I should have also specified this, but I didn't. Shame on me...

To keep it in the Pathfinder spirit somewhat, Magic items and enhancements and so forth will be utilized, but we won't be using "magic" as the explanation. Instead, it'll be small devices, sharpened blades, even pre-war items if you wish to have a magic ability on a weapon.

For example, a +1 Keen Shishkabob will be a sharpened lawnmower blade with a balance on the blade's handle to let the wielder use it better.

Some abilities, such as Transformative, will not be used simply because they make no sense. However, if you can come up with a way for it to work, run it by me and we'll see what we can do.

BTW, any magically enhanced weapons will allow a number of damage dice equal to the enhancement to bypass DR, but only if the enhancement is a +1, +2, or so on. A Keen Shishkabob will only bypass 1d8 fire damage, but a +1 Shishkabob will bypass DR for both dice. Elemental damage will automatically bypass DR, like the Shishkabob's 1d8 of fire damage. Plasma and laser damage is not considered elemental.

I hope this isn't too much for you guys. If this doesn't make sense, let me know.

I've got to do more research before posting...

Alchemists, after looking over the Discoveries, I will allow you to take any Discovery that is marked as a Goblin Discovery.

These are:
Fire Brand
Rag Doll Mutagen
Scrap Bomb
Rocket Bomb (6th lvl)

Enjoy your new lvl guys

cool i will level up later tonight and post about what new stuff i learn

I like the looks of Scrap Bomb. I might take that.

i was thinking the same thing but i probably wont take it right away.

ok what were we doing for HP again on level up? i forgot and i just looked and didnt see it. half, half+1, half+.5, full, roll? something else?

I'm glad you brought that up Tenro. Here's how heath will work:

I will give you the option of actually rolling for health here in the Discussion thread, or taking 1/2+1 HD.

1/2+1 HD is confirmed health.

Rolling yourself has a chance of getting lots of health, or very little.

Choose for yourself. If you choose to roll, post it here. If not, don't bother. After everyone's good an lvled up, we'll continue the game. Hope you guys don't mind looking for some pre-war items.

This lists the price for 'Armor Piercing' ammunition.

What does it do?

In Fallout New Vegas, some have the ability to reduce DR while others negate it all together. In our version, they will negate the DR on the piece of armor worn over the body part you are targeting in a Called Shot. If you use them in a regular attack, it will negate 5 DR per damage dice of your weapon.

To use an armor piercing round, it takes a reload action to prepare using AP rounds, and another reload round to change back. If you have a full clip of AP rounds and must reload, you have the choice of reloading AP or regular rounds.

There are other kinds of rounds, such as Hollow Point and Surplus. Hollow Point will do an extra dice of damage when fired at an unprotected body part, and Surplus come in bulk of 10 round per cap, but do one dice of damage less.

The prices on that site you gave are very, very off, so we won't use those prices. We'll be using the ones on the Fallout Wiki. I'm trying to keep this as close to Fallout video game standards as I can. Since there is no AP 10mil round in Fallout 3, use the price for Fallout and Fallout 2: 100 caps a round. Those things are expensive, but worth it for a sneaky rogue. Hollow point rounds are also 100 caps.

Hope that helps.

Quite nice, quite nice, thank you. Bit too expensive for now but I will keep them in mind.
If we're going by the prices from the Fallout wiki, then apparently its 2 caps per 10mm round (assuming a 100% markup). Is this correct?
http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/10mm_round_(Fallout_3)

No, the values on the Wiki are what will be used for vendors to sell to you. If you sell, you sell at half price. It'll be 2 rounds for 1 cap.

Sorry I meant the price for me to BUY those rounds. Is my 2 caps per round price correct for PURCHASING?

Again, no. If you buy rounds from a vendor, specifically from Flint and Steel, it'll be 1 cap a round.

Huh; sorry, could you explain it to me further? I think I am getting confused.

I assumed that we sold at half price, bought at twice. Thus, at the 1-cap-per-round base price stipulated in the link, we would sell at 1-cap-per-2-rounds and buy at 2-caps-per-round.

Where does my understanding go wrong?

You buy at full, sell at half. So an item at 10 caps will be bought for 10 caps, sold for 5.

Really? Great; cut into those blasted traders' profit margins.

:3 So is this Rp time so we can get to know our teammates more right?

Hmm good idea. Should we find a tavern?

The nearest bar is McGrady's. Word's been going around that he's needing someone to go get something for him.

I should have listed this for you guys before hand, but I'm a forgetful GM. Maybe that should be my next Alias...

In the Square you can find all chems, all food, and all the ammo for the following weapons (I split them into groups so you can find them easier):

You can also find all Merc Clothing, Raider armor, "Pre-War" clothing, non-unique and unnamed hats, headwear, and eyewear, as well as Leather Armor and Combat Armor.

Power Armor is not available because the Brotherhood currently are the only ones to have it.

If you wish to buy different armor, let me know via PM or Discussion so we can get the stats and price right.

We're waiting for everyone to say they wish to go hunt Mirelurks or pursue the main mission.

Let's keep this going guys! We put too much work in it to let it fall.

Is our Brotherhood soldier going to want to hunt mirelurks? I can't see him wanting/being ordered to stay around with us mere mortals...

Unless he gets assigned free duty or some reason?

Technically he's still off duty, so he can pursue whatever course of action he wants, be that hunt Mirelurks or wait for orders.

I do have a plan, as unlikely as that sounds :P

I say we build a moat, that way the Mirelurks will come to the open source of water and we have an unlimited source of food!

Of course, the only way for us to create such a moat in as little time as possible would be with explosives... I don't see such a problem.

"Well I am ready to sizzle up some crab people!"

I am in for adventure.

So long as it doesn't involve wanton destruction or defying the direct orders of my superiors, Edward is all about the adventure!

Besides, I still haven't gotten to shoot anything with my railway rifle.

Good to hear, Brother Edward.

Just so you know, as with every Fallout game, I will be testing your moral compass to the breaking point. Especially you, Mr. Paladin.

I'm gonna be make you cry like a little girl for taking some random shot. Steel yourself. You'll need it >:D

HA!

Moral compass-itude through the Fallout lens?

Good thing I started New Vegas up again!!!

Besides, if you attack AFTER the other guy does, it's all good, right?

heh on F:NV i went into gomorrah and accidentally wandered into an offlimits area (but the door was open so i didnt know) and they started attacking me. so i gunned/knifed down the whole place including the strippers

I was wandering around in my F:NV and there were these Powdergangers waiting for me to cross some border. Of course, since the angle I came in wasn't the appropriate angle, he wasn't looking directly at me. He was kind of looking off directly to the left and talking directly to me. Crowning moment of awesome for the cannon fodder because he was shot soon after. Good times...

This story will fit in perfectly with you guys.

I was playing Fallout 3. I was in Rivet City for the first time when I saw a Nuka Cola vending machine. It wasn't owned, so I took the two bottles and 4 caps in it.

Shrapnel and the guy from the diner both walked up to me, looking pissed. "Um, hi?" I attempt to talk to one of them, then the entire city went hostile. I ran and hid outside the city, hoping I didn't kill any essential characters.

I later learned that the vending machine was one of a few containers that were bugged and didn't have the right color to say it was owned.

Ah, those were the good old days. Now I can sneak anywhere with a 100 sneak and the Chinese Stealth Armor from Operation Anchorage.

oh yeah, LOVE that armor and the Jingwei shock sword

So... there are isolated men trapped in corners with expensive weaponry?

WHAT ARE WE WAITING FOR?

There really is something about Fallout that brings out the Chaotic Evil in a person...

I prefer the "Be Nice to Everyone, but Steal Everything Not Nailed Down" method.

The karma balances out, especially if you farm Raiders for the lootz!

I once met a wise man who said "Be polite. Be efficient. Be prepared to kill everyone you meet."

It's surprising how fitting that is in EVERY GAME done by Bethesda.

Does not seem that way in Dishonered from what I have been told killing everyone can really mess up the game.

"Mom, I'm an assassin, not a mad killer."
"Well, one is a career, the other's a mental illness!"

Love it.

yeah in fallout i always end up super evil. there arent enough people in the game to be nice to in order to balance out how much i steal. and then there are times like:

dude asks for water -> put him out of his misery
merchant dude has a cool hat -> shoot him and take it
etc etc

I hope you aren't important to a story or some quest, cause you have a very nice gun/armor.

All the time for me.

leaning towards blasting some crab people over delivering love letters.

Marcel definitely doesn't give a crap about some granpappy.

and i dont give a crab about granpappy when there is food to be had

High Five, bro!

To be honest, I think that it would be in our best interest if 1 of us departed from the group to deal with the letters. I'll do it, since I think something good will happen because of it.

Or we deliver the love letter on our way to finding crabs? Much like the Fallout way.

To be honest, I don't think they're love letters. The words are more like reading about a heist than reading about a love story.

Or a secret stash of goodies and explosives?
