Please do. My game is the community's game now.

Converting SPECIAL to d20 is difficult business unfortunately. The best way to do it would probably be to come up with a d20-based system like Green Ronin's Mutants and Masterminds system, but even that could get awkward. Eventually you have to make a bunch of concessions to the original system...

I picked up a copy of this book yesterday based on this post, and so far it's pretty good. It's very American-centric (not surprising since I think it's aimed at an American audience and most Americans have a hard time visualizing anything outside of the US unless it's been on "24"). The...

What seems to make the most sense is to stat out the guns that were included in the games in the base PnP, and then to stat out real life weapons in a supplement for people who are interested. The best part about making this project a wiki.. there is no "right" answer. It's community...

I think this is the best solution. It could just be a total conversion, like the Waterworld one I whipped out in a couple of weekends. E: I should do another total conversion for another setting, maybe a zombie setting or something...

Yup. The original document was written between FO2 and Tactics, and was updated to include stuff from Tactics after that game was released. Basically to give GMs more options for weapons, locations, and so forth. And Wasteland stuff was included because it's fucking Wasteland and it's awesome.

I know my obsession with post-apocalyptic literature and gaming comes from a lot of my old fears of nuclear annihilation during the late 1970s and early 1980s. Stuff like The Day After, Threads, Testament on TV, and a feeling of nihilism: what's the point of getting up in the morning if the...

Not at all, thanks! As soon as I'm done with my work this morning, I'm going to update the blog post and the .zip with all the files located here: http://wotg.stgfc.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=6&sid=5bc2a8022138a038cff44766f451aa60

Quick note guys: GC never actually asked me to take my stuff down (although he did ask someone else to take down a d20 conversion from what I remember.) I had let my old domain lapse and never bothered to upload this stuff anywhere else. Hopefully turning this all into an open-source PnP will...

Well, I'm not saying it will or won't muck it up, but I will offer this: What drew me to Fallout in the first place, what made me pick the game up off the shelf and buy it, was the setting and the story. The first words I read on the back of the box were "remember Wasteland?" And I looked at...

Well I wasn't asking for name-dropping or concept-raping, I was asking for a general comparison to use as an example. In the same way I might suggest a movie to someone and say "yeah, it's kind of like Day of the Dead..." or something. You're right, I did do it once, and that conversion is...

Well the story part is soley up to the GM running the game (I've seen cliche Amber Diceless games and really incredible stories in d20), but which open character systems aside from SPECIAL would you cite? Shadowrun? Savage Worlds? Amber Diceless? Or even something more esoteric, like Dogs in the...

Hey guys! Sorry about the new account, I lost my old NMA account a long time ago. :( Anyhoo, I thought I'd put my two cents worth into the discussion here since my name has come up a couple of times. :) I used to be very against d20, but I have warmed up to it a little over the years. That...
