My goal, beyond making a good set of Fallout rules, is to make the rules expandable into other modern and sci-fi settings. I have never been really happy with any of the modern/sci-fi rulesets I have GM'd. I think the core Fallout systems can be modified for other uses.

Not sure what GURPS has to do with anything, Jasons Fallout PnP uses the rules from the Fallout computer game. GURPS was going to be used for the original Fallout but at the last moment the deal fell through. As to FOD20, at some point in the future I may turn my hand to that project but for...

This game is definately on my list to buy, is there an estimated release date yet?

I don't see why the RL weapons should be excluded, FO1 started it by including the Desert Eagle and sawed off shotguns. I am sure they would have had more if they had more time and a bigger art budget to work with. Computer games, especially old ones, had to limit things like the variety of...

Rather than remove things like weapons that are already in the mix, how about segregating the non-FO1 and 2 weapons into an appendix at the end. I was planning to include them in my efforts.

Sure, that would be great. I just uploaded a new character sheet to the NMA archive.

It's an amazing coincidence. I spent a lot of the weekend looking over Jasons great adaptation of the FO rules and working on ways to streamline the rules for faster gameplay for those of us who can only play a few hours on a weekday evening. I also did a new character sheet for those of us...

There are no raids at all, just missions (aka quests). The high end game is PvP. There is no "Empire", just competing player run corporations (aka guilds). When you join the game you are automatically put in the newbie corp so you can get help and get started out (the newb corp is not...

Deflection, in my view, is covered by DR, in that the target has been hit but the damaged mitigated in some way.

Unless he changed my work on this there is AC. Armour worked the same way in FO, it provided a reduction in the chance of a shot hitting the wearer and reduced the damage of the shot if it did hit.

On one hand I'd say yes, but in the campaign I played in we spent a lot of time dealing with space ships and ship to ship combat. It really depends on where the GM wants to take the campaign.

I thought the Star Wars D20 played OK once some adjustments were made, but in general I don't think D20 does well outside of fantasy settings. I always preferred the KOTOR version of SWD20. It's interesting to note the similarities with Fallout mechanics though. Both systems essentially...

You would really have to streamline the mechanics to make it playable unless you are a real calculator geek who doesn't mind the combat running like molasses due to constant stops to press buttons. That said, I have looked at converting SPECIAL into a playable PnP game and I keep coming back...

Maybe I'll develop my own free version of FOD20, I know there were a lot of things I would have done differently than ended up in the final version of the game (but I am sure that any game writer who contributes to a project says that). As to civilian power armour, it's not something I would...

What civilian power armour was that? I wrote the FOD20 equipment rules and the only examples of power armour in my submission were the ones from the FO1 and 2.

The real question is what else has Interplay failed to tell Bethesda?

Other issues aside, is this a fan/non-profit project or are they planning to steal the license for Fallout?

I wouldn't say that the interest in FO1 was non-existant before release, there was a lot of buzz on the demo and I know a lot of people who played it to death while waiting for the game. I pre-ordered and picked my copy up the day it was released in the USA. Nice article, but I think it...

Another game to watch is UFO: Extraterrestrial, due out at the end of February. It's a top down turn based Xcom clone. I have no idea if it will be any good, but it's nice to see something I might want to play given all the shooters and RTS games that are flooding the market.

The game will be unfinished, buggy, and lacking promised features. Obsidian is pretty incompetent.
