After you complete the quest for the vertibird plans, and leave San Francisco for a while (or go into the tank for the module treatment) then Matt is gone, and you can ask the computer what happened to him. It will show Horrigan blowing him away in the middle of the dining room downstairs - if...

Well, it would be nice if I could believe it. Because that would mean the rest of us can continue the discussion without having monkey shit thrown at us. No, really? :rolleyes: So was Lucifer's Hammer. I'd say it could have been more brutal, because the majority of the people were going to...

I posted this because, being the lazy GM that I am, failed to flesh out a few points I marked on my map, and had to make something up instantly - so I had the party stumble upon a haunted nuclear power plant. Now that I've taken time since the last game session, I think by the time they're...

I live on a Navy base, where (currently) all of the f-18s are. I'm screwed.

Yes, but the theory of a nuclear winter was alive and well during the 50's, IIRC, and so is perfectly plausible for a 50's-retro game. However, since there is plant life, the Fallout universe seems to be more of a charred wasteland rather than a frozen one.

I tried the search function, but couldn't find anything that seemed to fit this topic, so nyah! :P Anyway, I'm wondering what everyone thinks about the idea of having ghosts haunting the wasteland? Admittedly, I didn't like the way the ghost in FO2 was implemented, but the whole intro to...

Now that could have potential. It wouldn't be Fallout, but I bet it would be fun. Anyway, my choices ... No SPECIAL system. 1st person only. Lack of dialog choices, and/or unimaginative dialog choices. Being able to beat the game in <10 hours real time. Those are about the only...

Would it be more realistic? Of course. Would it be annoying as all get-out? Of course. My PnP campaign does not have weapons or armor get damaged unless someone fudges a critical failure or gets nailed with a really good critical hit. Then they hand it to repair-gigalo and it's back to...

Jay - assuming that the missile shield is even as little as 10% effective, it would limit the number of nukes that would penetrate. In addition, the US arsenal of nukes is, by itself, enough to destroy every square inch of land about three times over - China's stockpile, IIRC, is less than ten...

Those are cool, but the picture I meant was clearly not in either of the Fallout games - it shows Pipboy bent over, hands over his groin, eyes bugging out in pain. I think it was once someone's avatar on a Fallout board when I saw it. If nobody knows what I'm talking about, that's ok, I'll...

There are lots of places that probably got nuked to hell. India and Pakistan have nukes, and a grudge against each other. The second anyone else launches a nuke, they're probably ready to turn each other into nice glowing craters. As stated, the EU made the US civil war look like a day at...

Thanks, didn't know that was there. I remember seeing one for the user-created "Nutcracker" perk ... don't suppose you've got that one laying around somewhere too? Pretty please? :)

Rosh, from reading this thread, I have a feeling you've never read Lucifer's Hammer by Larry Niven. It's post-apoc, though set right at the time when civilization goes bye-bye, and maybe the author just has a sunnier disposition than you do, but the characters co-operate quite a bit more, at...

Does anyone know a way to get the little Pipboy pictures from the character screen (ie, Strength, Small Guns, etc) as a standard picture file of some sort? I'm working on making a new character sheet for my PnP campaign, and I'll like to throw in three or four, without having to screenshot and...

WTF? In the Fallout universe, the nuclear war starts in 2077. More than a century after the end of World War 2.
