War...war never changes. Ever since the first weapons were created and were then used against other humans, war has gripped the mind of humanity, shifting the balance of power and causing destruction. It was thought after the bombs fell in 2077 that war had reached its peak,that the Great War was the one to end all wars.But war,war never changes. Even after the bombs, great battles raged across the waste between survivors. One such battle took place in the Mojave Wasteland, where the New California Republic and Caesar's Legion faced off for control of the Hoover Dam for the second time. The battle was decided with the help of the Courier, who turned the tide of the battle. You live in a small village that sprung up after those events. How you got here is known only to you and a few others perhaps,but you have heard the legend of the Courier ever since you came here. Your life is about to change,though, as danger is always around, even in the safest of settlements, and war.....war never changes.
This is a Fallout PnP campaign using the rules with the Matthew Standley update. The only restriction on race is no deathclaws. You may pick at least 2 weapons to start with that are 500 caps or under. If they require ammo, you get 3 clips of normal ammo for it. You may also have a suit of armor that is 500 caps or under. Same goes for helmets. You also have 1,000 caps to spend on chems and other miscellaneous equipment. I will pick players in 2-3 days. I can't wait to see the submissions :). Also, as a side note, the players will also get to decide amongst themselves what choices the Courier made during the events of FO: NV. This will affect the world and change some areas.
Also, I am going to pick 3 players because of a friend of mine is also going to play.
What part are you confused about?
I can't speak for anyone else, but these are the parts that confuse me...
1 - PnP usually means 'Pen and Paper'. Is this a PbP recruitment?
2 - What game system?
3 - What is 'the Matthew Standley update'?
I was eventually able to hunt down the answers to these questions (go go gadget google), but the ad presumes an interest and knowledge of an incredibly obscure fan-built game system.
1.Yes it is.
2.I know it is a bit obscure, and I apologize for not posting links. It is the Fallout Pen and Paper system made by Jason Mical. This website has the rules I speak of.
3.The Matthew Standley update was an update made to the game that changed a few things and added equipment and enemies from Fallout 3.That version of the rules is on the website I linked, they should say MS update out beside them.
Again, sorry for causing confusion.
I'm gonna bump this since I think people will have a better understanding now.
I'll see if I can put something together today or tomorrow. I do love me some fallout.
Cool :) if you happen to know anyone else who'd be interested, send 'em this way.
One final bump, to see if there's still interest.
Is there somewhere I could find the rules packet online? Id love to play but dont have the rules.
You can find a link in one of my previous posts.
Tentatively interested. Played a Fallout PnP game with some friends that collapsed pretty quickly.
Downloading rules now. Will get up a character in awhile.
So here is my character, Dexter. He is focused in Lockpicking, Sneaking and Small Guns.

TRAITS
_________________________________________
One in a Million-You're not particularly lucky or unfortunate, but when lightning strikes, it strikes hard! Whenever you critically hit or fail, a second check is made at five times the base chance to see if it actually happens. If it does, the result on the critical chart is bumped up +30 points in severity.
Skilled- Since you spend more time improving your skills than a normal person, you gain more skill points. The tradeoff is that you do not gain as many extra abilities. You will gain a perk at one level higher than normal. For example, if you normally gained a perk every 4 levels, you would now gain a perk every 5 levels. You will get an additional 5 skill points per new experience level, and a one-time bonus of +10% to your skills when you begin the game. Animals and robots cannot choose this trait.

Looks good.
