I found my copies years ago at a Software Etc in a bundle pack for $20. I doubt you still can, but if you live in a decent sized city, pick up the yellow pages and call around to all the game stores. It's worth a try.

From what I remember from reading a lot of well-researched sci-fi stuff, the EMP blast from a nuke actually only affects twice the blast radius, if that. However, radiation can easily damage integrated circuits and transistors. If the car was designed to be shielded (as a military model likely...

Planescape: Torment Fallout ChronoTrigger Thief 2: The Metal Age Final Fantasy 6 Thief Gold Fallout2 Quest for Glory 4 System Shock 2 Master of Orion 2 Those are roughly in order of my favorites. The Fall is still in development, I think.

Alright, to start off - Lytha, the Vault Overseer, is about fifty years old, with completely silver hair, possibly dyed that way. She's old enough to remember the power and privelege that her family had before the War and the somewhat enforced equality of Vault life. She's an arrogant...

Context? What context? :P I have absolutely no idea what this project Omega is, or the NOX part of his project. I do know (somewhat) what it does to cars, and I also know (somewhat) what less-than-optimal fuel does to cars. My point was simply that it isn't impossible to make fuel...

Albatross - nice avatar, evildoer. ;) Zoe - this thread isn't intended to start a campaign - I'm already running this face-to-face with a group of players. I'm posting it here in case any GM is interested in using it themselves for a group.

Come on, I can tell that other people are reading this. Chime in any time. :P Due to the game starting in a Vault, all of the PCs should (of course) be human. Robots and dogs could be allowed, depending on the GM, but I frown on it. The game should begin with the PCs being informed by...

Assuming that I had a few million ... well, let's just say Fallout wouldn't be the only game liscence I'd be buying away. Couple it with King's Quest, Quest for Glory, and System Shock. Then go hiring for people I know can write good games - ie, anyone I can get from Black Isle and Looking...

With a few chemistry books and a copy of The Way Things Work, I could build one. It wouldn't be anywhere near as efficient as a modern refinery, but it would work, which was my point. There are a great number of things we take for granted (such as electric generators) which are not especially...

Please, don't hesitate to add criticism or suggestions or questions. I'm sure I'll leave something out. Since the rich and powerful who flocked to Vault 67 had been so traumitized by the riots at the start of the war, they remained barricaded inside the Vault. They also instituted a...

Actually, my only real complaint with combat in Arcanum is how hitting an opponent grants you automatic XP. Therefore, people who want to run a diplomat or thief character will advance more slowly, as they will obviously not do as well in fights - which the game abounds in. It is when you...

I have replayed Torment over 30 times - other than Master of Orion 2, the most I have played any game from beginning to end. It has the most incredible storyline I have ever encountered in a game, and a hell of a lot better than many professional authors. The characters are completely...

Goddamn! He talks about designing the game the way I do my campaigns (except I have only myself, and he's got five people). I have to remember to look for this game. Thanks for the link!

As for the desert setting, it will also depend on which area of the country you are looking at. Most of southern California, where Fallout takes place, gets very minimal amounts of rain. Without the large irrigation canals, the prosperous Central Valley would barely be able to farm. If your...

I'd say that an electric car isn't that far fetched for the Fallout setting. The difficulty in procuring tires, 180+ years after tire factories stopped functioning, is a far bigger plot hole. Waterworld? :p The rapidly dwindling supply of common fuels is a major part of both Fallout and...

1) I think so, though I honestly haven't tested them on my own computer, as my friend is borrowing them. Since he's running WinXP, I'm leaning towards "yes." 2) If anyone here says no, I shall cut out their heart with a rusty grapefruit spoon. 3) No idea. Not real big on FO:T. 4)...

In my posts ahead, I will be detailing the cities, villages, and important random counters that players can travel to. Anything in the quotes should be read more-or-less verbatim to the players, and the rest is left up to the GM how to describe it. As everyone knows, the Vaults were...

*chuckle* Ok, Welsh, lemme be a little more clear. I have this problem sometimes. ;) My campaign, which started in Vault 67, is a PnP campaign, and I was thinking of posting my campaign notes here. My actual game takes place face to face (I'm so lucky ^_^ ) so I don't need the forum for RP...

A question for welsh, since he seems to be paying attention - I'm interested in posting my campaign (Vault 67) on these boards for comment and criticism. Is this the right forum for it?

http://fallout-rpg.narod.ru/PnP.html - this site has a program for random encounters. I just attempted to join the Yahoo group as well, since it seems that message traffic has started picking up there again. If all else fails, you could write up your own. My group has already encountered a...
