First time out of the vault
Hello Fallout fans!!! Longtime lurker, first-time poster to this most splendorous forum.
Me and a group of about 20 friends have long been writing and worldbuilding on NationStates. It's basically a game where you control your own nation and make policies. It's kind of boring but we take it a step further by worldbuilding and writing character-based stories about important people in our nations.
We're basically all Fallout fans, so we figured, "why not do this again, but Fallout?"
So, let me introduce you to FALLOUT GENESIS, a Post-Nuclear Roleplaying Game! We're beginning in 2240 (yep, with Fallout 2), and we'll be going all the way to the 24th Century, with the map consolidating and humanity progressing as the RP goes on. We'll have special events tying into different events from the game, also. For instance, in August we'll have a collaborative regional event writing the infiltration and potential destruction of the Enclave oil rig. Or, perhaps the Rig will be saved. See, all major events will be determined by players. The Enclave could beat the NCR, or maybe the Brotherhood isn't pushed out of California, or maybe the Legion will win the First Battle of Hoover Dam. It's all dynamic and player-led. Let me show you our map so far:
While some names should be familiar (NCR, Navarro, Arroyo), our players are also making their own, unique, creative wasteland nations! Here's some examples from the map above:
Carolinian Expedition: A group of explorers from the Carolinian Empire in the East, come to the west in hopes of making it to the Pacific Ocean.
Ferrymen Guild: A trading group operating in the Colorado River who transport goods and services along the waterway.
New West Anglia: Before the War, the group now leading New West Anglia, a rump state in British Columbia, was made up of exiled British aristocrats. During the occupation, they led a secretive resistance effort against their American occupiers. Now, they dream of rebuilding the Canadian nation.
New Order of St. Michael: Emerged from a Vault experimenting with a population of devout people from different and diverse religions, this group has coalesced into a Christian crusader state galivanting around the Dakotas, baptizing man and ghoul alike.
And you, too, can make a nation in this incredible roleplay! Now, I should mention 2 things specifically for this forum:
1. We are lacking players for the NCR or Brotherhood of Steel, yet have 3 Enclave players. At this rate, the Enclave is going to stomp in the War, so if you want to stop that from happening and/or have experience with these groups, we could use your help.
2. Since you guys would probably be curious, our rules for what is or isn't canon is that if there's a conflict between new games and old, the old wins out. So a lot of the silly stuff that's been added to the lore is non-applicable.
If this post violates forum rules at all, I apologize! Feel free to take it down!
But, otherwise, if you want to give us another look, check us out on our page: https://www.nationstates.net/region=fallout_genesis - Our Discord link is here also if you have any questions. If you love writing/worldbuilding, we'd love to have you.
