While prepping for my Fallout 2d20 campaign, I have been reading the game more closely and... I'm not impressed. i like 2d20 in general but I am not particularly pleased with the implementation with Fallout as I get into the details. SO, what would YOU use if you were going to run a Fallout game?
My first thought -- as it often is -- is to just use Savage Worlds. It is my "go to" for action oriented games if I don't have a dedicated system in mind and I think between SWADE and the SF Companion I should be able to cobble together something reasonably Fallout-like. At least SW has the swingy, deadly quality down.
I am also potentially drawn to using d20 Modern with the d20 Future and d20 Apocalypse supplements. it is a little more fiddly, but that isn't necessarily a bad thing for Fallout. Fallout has a fiddly TTRPG heart by way of GURPS (which i am absolutely NOT going to use).
Mutant year Zero is a really good Post Apocalyptic game but I don't think I would use it for Fallout.
What would you use, or have you used?
