About the adventure
Note: This is an Asynchronous Play-by-Post game—no live sessions. You’ll participate by posting in Discord at your own pace (1–2 posts per day recommended). Centuries after the bombs, power still shifts and green snow still kills. In this player-driven Fallout campaign, you don’t just survive—you decide what rises from the ash. Long-term projects, faction drama, and moral fallout await. Change the Wasteland—or be changed by it. The Enclave has just fallen to the Brotherhood of Steel’s latest assault. The victors grow complacent, but remnants lurk in the dark, waiting for their moment. And in the north, a storm brews—one led by a Prophet who preaches salvation through nuclear fire. When the green snow falls, only the prepared will remain standing. Take your fate into your own hands. Change the Wasteland—literally. Design and pursue your own Long-Term Project—build tech, shelter the sick, reinvent the economy. If your character can dream it and commit to the grind, it can change everything. Play mercenaries, prophets, smooth-talking traders, weirdos, or sheltered vault dwellers chasing legacy, redemption, or a damn good time. Whether you’re building an empire or just staying buzzed on moonshine, this Wasteland has room for you—if you can survive it. Seize control of the world—or get dragged behind it. Meet people you’ve never imagined. Explore ruins no sane soul would enter. Rise as a legend, or leave it worse than you found it. That’s on you. Make it count. Never tried 2d20? I’ve got you. From your first character idea to the final act, I’ll be there—with the table beside you. Expect open comms, dedicated channels, and no surprises—we talk it through and keep the table on the same page. 📁 Curious how I run things? Check out my GM Portfolio for example scenes, tools I use, and what past players say about surviving the green snow under my watch. https://www.notion.so/MaxSoulGMz-s-Portfolio-21d77900be6f80678797c6989726bde0?source=copy_link Note: This is a Play-by-Post campaign on Discord.

About me
Hello, I'm MaxSoulGMz, aka Brian. I've been coordinating games, especially asynchronous play-by-post, for over five years, running many storygames from Blades in the Dark to Grimwild, with a focus on cinematic, character-first and character-driven campaigns. Let's connect, build friendships, and learn from each other! Exhibit your creativity and retain absolute player agency. Expect a collaborative, emotionally rich table where meaningful choices pave the story. Transparent metachannels so everyone’s expectations—including mine—are understood and respected. Your feedback will always be heard. I thrive on being adaptive and committed to growth, both as a GM and as someone who values strong, lasting connections in and out of the game. 🧭 Want a peek at how you will play?

Creating your character
We’ll build your Wastelander before Session 1. I’ll be on Discord to answer questions or offer feedback anytime. We’ll be using the Fallout 2d20 Core Rulebook, along with the Settler and Wanderer expansions—materials are provided after sign-up. Characters begin at Level 1. Expect a collaborative process that roots your character in our shared world: the ruins, the factions, the broken roads. Who were you before you joined the party? Who will you become now? A character and tone guide will be shared via Google Drive. Safety tools include Lines & Veils.
This is an asynchronous Play-by-Post campaign on Discord. I post daily, with additional or reactive responses when the story calls for it. My usual hours are 7:00 AM–11:59 PM (GMT+8). The current group is most active between 7:00 AM–6:00 PM (GMT+8). Expect steady pacing, high player agency, and an emphasis on drama without pressure. Current Party Makeup: 1. Charismatic Moonshiner – A silver-tongued brewer with a taste for trouble and a companion who walks the moral edge. 2. Lyonist Star Paladin (BoS) – Power-armored and idealistic, wielding a sledgehammer against tyranny and tech-hoarders alike. Expect conflicted loyalties, evolving ideologies, and a world that pushes back. Whether you're a ghoul survivor, pre-war remnant, or drifter with ghosts to outrun, you'll find purpose—and peril—in this crew.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
You’ll need a Discord account to join the game. After signing up, StartPlaying will send you an invite to my Fallout 2d20 server where the story unfolds. A Google account is required to access shared materials—rulebooks and the character keeper—all stored in Google Drive. We use the 2d20 or Roll’em dice bots in Discord for rolls. A quick guide is pinned in the #bot-spam-fo channel. Reading the full rulebook is optional, but I recommend skimming Chapters 1 and 2 of the core rulebook before jumping in. Before Session 0, make sure you: ✅ Joined the Discord server ✅ Filled out the Lines & Veils form ✅ Started your Wastelander—or pinged me for help ✅ Read the Fallout 2d20 Onboarding Guide Once those are set, you’re good to go. Welcome to the wasteland.
What MaxSoulGMz brings to the table
I provide the Fallout 2d20 Core, Settler, and Wanderer rulebooks, a clear onboarding guide, and a Google Drive with the blank character keeper. The Discord server is fully equipped for Play-by-Post, with dice bots, pinned references, and channels structured for narrative momentum. This is a character-driven, post-nuclear sandbox—where survival choices ripple across factions and history. Expect reactive worldbuilding, story-first pacing, and personal arcs shaped by moral struggle, trauma, or resilience. I lean toward Rule of Cool where it serves narrative clarity and emotion, but major conflicts and survival mechanics will respect the Fallout 2d20 core structure. I use vivid NPCs, and a light touch with text-based ambient cues. You shape the momentum—I keep it dangerous and whacky.

Safety
How MaxSoulGMz creates a safe table
Lines and Veils are tracked using a shared Google Sheet and must be completed before Session 1. During Session 0, we’ll cover safety tools, tone expectations, narrative boundaries, and table culture. Players are encouraged to speak up or message privately anytime—updates to Lines and Veils are welcome mid-campaign. If someone goes quiet, I’ll check in via DM to make sure you’re okay. Breaks are respected, no pressure or judgment. I aim for a space that’s dramatic and intense—but always emotionally safe and consent-driven.
