This post is to determine interest and field any questions folks might have.
After realizing that Demiplane has all of the Fallout RPG available for anyone to read along with a rad character creator with built in die roller, I'm inspired to possibly run the Winter of Atom Campaign.
War. War never changes. The United States of America died generations ago when the Great War ended civilization as we knew it. The atomic bombs fell. The radioactive dust settled over sprawling ruins, and the world fell quiet over the bones of all we lost.
But life did not end there. America became the dominion of mutated beasts, terrifying monsters, weird and irradiated plants, wandering robots free from their creators, and surprising new forms of humanity. And the people who survived the nuclear apocalypse did what folks have done for thousands of years—they adapted and survived. They salvaged, rebuilt, and reclaimed what they could of the old world. Over the years, pockets of civilization began to take hold in the wild wastelands across America, fighting with each other for control of what little they had left.
There are many stories of humanity's attempt to cling to life and build a new future amidst the ashes. This book contains one such story, and the ending has yet to be recorded.
In the ruins of old Boston, the Commonwealth settles in for a long, deadly winter. As its hungry communities do their best to find food and survive the cold, a new sect of the Church of the Children of Atom arrives. Their flock grows as they spread their worship of nuclear division and radiation across the region. Led by an enigmatic prophet calling himself the Last Son of Atom, the Church's army plans to ignite an all-out winter war with the settlements that dare reject their Atomic God. A group of ragtag survivors must do whatever it takes to protect their communities and keep the Commonwealth from becoming ground zero… again.
I can do play by post, but with my new work schedule, I have Tuesdays off, so was thinking there might be a possibility, if folks are interested, to do a Fallout Campaign via the Inner Sanctum's discord, like Mikki does with her D&D nights, just with different timing for other time zone folks. Sometime between 7:00 AM and 3:00 PM EST.
In accordance with forum rules, while we know there are hungry kids in the Commonwealth, I don't intend to give any children 'screen time' in the story. No kid PCs, NPCs, or antagonists. Like modern Bethesda, we'll pretty much just ignore the idea that kids exist.
The Fallout setting has some pretty grim elements, including slavery and cannibalism. The Winter of Atom Campaign does include those elements at time, so if that's an issue for potential players, we'd need to discuss that, which we will as part of a general lines and veils style conversation if we get a group together.
This will be a game that focuses on story rather than smut, especially if we're playing on voice chat. That said, there will be plenty of opportunity to spin off side threads if PCs feel the urge to seek out 'companionship'.
So, if you're interested in either PBP or a Tuesday voice chat game or if you have any questions, please post away.
