d20 Modern: Fallout

[possum]

Fallout Tactics is the reason for the game being set where it is, other than the fact that I live around the area and can easily imagine what it might look like in post-apocalyptic times. I got the Fallout Trilogy for Christmas, and 3 a few weeks ago, so I've got them all.

If you loved FO Tactics try Jagged Alliance 2 with the Fan Based upgrade patch 1.14 IIRC. Great game of tactical squad combat.

So when are we going to start this excursion from the vault?

 

[possum]

Well, if the characters are all in, I'd like to start on Tuesday-Wednesday. Excursion from the Vault? That I'm not going to tell...

Thanks for the recommendation, I'll be looking for it.

On second thought, its a bad, bad, bad game. Don't play it. It might suck your time aware from GMing our games.

WD and VV; are you guys going to do any background or such? I left mine pretty brief to just explain the choice of occupation. Being only 16, she doesn't have much experience yet anyway. Lately I prefer making it up as go along as I get a feel of the character.

Being in the vault together, I am sure our characters will know each other at least.

About your age. RAW says that you have to be 20+ to be in the Law Enforcement career. Let's say we bump that down to 18 to at least represent a few years of training in the career path after the GOAT put you there?

Is my character fine in regard of the rules?

 

[possum]

The character creator said my starting occupation (rural) gives either Brawl or Personal Weapon Prof. as a bonus feat.

You are right. I missed that. Otherwise, character's fine.

Post Apocalypse said 16. It pretty much bumps the starting age for every occupation down into the teens. I was figuring a little unofficial training before the GOAT and official after.

 

[Walking Dad]

Will we 'play out' the background like fallout3? If not, what information do you need?

 

[perrinmiller]

Actually the D20 Apocalypse Guide said 15 for LE, but honestly it really doesn't matter to me (16-18 all okay).

I was only planning a few sentences for back story. I have them on my Myth-Weavers sheet already. If we need more than that, it's not a problem, but I can easily flush things out IC as we are rolling.

Possum, are you planing to use tactical grids in Excel? I can make some tokens again for you if WD and VV post up a portrait or head shot of their guys.
