About the adventure
SPECIAL EVENT: Week in the Wasteland -------------------------------------- How will you re-shape the world? Will you join with a plucky band of survivors to fight off all comers and carve out your own settlement? Will you team up with pre-existing factions like the Brotherhood of Steel or Super Mutants to enforce your own ideals on the wasteland? Ghoul or robot, paladin or raider, it’s your choice - and the consequences are yours. Don’t miss out! Wander the Wasteland and explore the lore-rich world of Fallout in this post-atomic survival setting based on the hit video game series from Bethesda Game Studios ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ SUMMARY Veteran GM: 40+ years Players: Three (3) to Five (5) preferred Level: [[ VERIFY WITH GM ]] GAME IS IN PROGRESS Age: Adult 18+ only Frequency: Average is 3-5x per day Date/Time: All day, asynchronous GM: Eastern/Florida/USA Play-by-Post: through each day. Setting: The Commonwealth ========================= ASYNCHRONOUS (PBP): Play ANY TIME, ANY WHERE... spread out through your day (GMs time zone), via a collection of DISCORD groups, and map tools like OwlBear, Roll20, Canva, and more. That's right, we play-by-post sending messages back and forth via DISCORD. Feel free to share Text, recorded audio, even your face if you want (just be clothed, please). There will be a GROUP game chat (where we role-play), but also private channels to talk to the GM behind the scenes, or chat with other players on the same server. EXPECTATION: At least 3 significant (verbose) contributions a day, and preferably closer to 5 per day [8a - 5p Eastern USA time zone]. Everyone should have time, either during coffee beaks, meal breaks, bathroom breaks, and as often as you can fit it in. It's VERY important you check in OFTEN!!!
IN PROGRESS GAME - but we have at least one seat open, if you are interested in joining as a PICK UP player in an ongoing game. NOTE: The current players opted to engage in a PROLOGUE to the main adventure, while waiting for MORE PLAYERS to show up. They are currently playing "MACHINE FREQUENCY" in PROLOGUE to "WITH A BANG OR A WHIMPER". If you're good with that - join us. EXISTING PLAYERS ARE CURRENTLY: Level 2 Your PC will also be upgraded to Level 2, if you join in. ** NO CHARGE UNTIL WE GET YOU STARTED** Meanwhile, ask the GM about STACKABLE discounts while you are actively participating in more than one adventure at the same time. Target Gaming Hours: Between 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m., Eastern USA time zone. Looking for 3 to 5 posts, per player per day, commitments.

How to prepare
PRE-GENERATED CHARACTERS WILL BE PROVIDED. You should be able to pick from a pool of available archetypes: Ghoul, Super Mutant, Mister Handy, Vault Dweller, and more.
What I provide
MOTTO: It is YOUR game, so play it YOUR way... The initial game begins with a very specific mission mind, but you are not relegated to a specific path. While anything can happen, if the group wants to keep playing, we can move things in ANY direction. *********************************** I'll bring the adventure... I'll bring maps with tokens... I'll provide visuals when possible... I'll bring 40+ years of GM Experience... ------------------------------------- RULE OF COOL: Yes, I can see that - occasionally. I don't typically BREAK a major rule, but can see slight variances or "exceptions" when the situation warrants it. Just concern yourself with the game. Play it. Role-play, and leave the mechanics to me!!!!
Gameplay details
ADULT GAME 18+ ONLY (Viewer/Player discretion is advised): WARNING / DISCLAIMER: This game is designed to replicate realism, in every way, as close as possible to reality. A great many unfortunate atrocities exist in our real world, and in a fantasy/make believe world they can easily be far worse and take on fictional aspects never before considered. CONTENT WARNING: As you may have noticed, almost every content warning available has been flagged. The only exceptions are those involving sexuality and the overt abuse of children. Those topics simply don't have a place in this game and will be omitted and could result in a removal of any player from the game. SESSION 0 / DEBREIFING: Session 0 merely represents the dialogue that will be exchanged early on (usually before you start paying) to make sure you understand how it's played, what you are expected to bring to the virtual table, character creation, homerules, timeliness, SAFETY, and cordial play. LINES and VEILS: During the Session 0, and while Debriefing at various intervals (between chapters), you can discuss with the GM any topics, scenes, or scenarios that are particularly disturbing, and possible accommodations. Some topics just need NEVER be present in a game, and others just "alluded" to, as we figuratively "fade-to-black", and we move on. X, N, O CARDS & BREAKS: Well I don't use a lot of in N, X, O card rules in play-by-post, seeing it more effective in live games. Still, if you throw up a row of X's, or a picture of an X card, we should all be aware of what that means. Stop! The topic is off limits. Breaks are built ib. If you feel safe, just PM your GM as needed. SANDBOX: This game setting is very adaptable to match what it is you are looking for in a game. Expect a short "survey" link to be sent to you once we start. From this, I'll collect a quick understanding of your level of experience, what games / modules / settings you've used before, and where I should focus the game.

How will character creation work
Just bring a healthy appreciation for the post-apocalyptical genre, and the vault-dweller concept. Hopefully, you've enjoyed the video games, but if not - that's okay. Beginners welcome. Not everyone has the rules yet, so just bring your imagination.
