How to prepare

Webcam and Mic are not required. You must have Discord as we will be posting there, sign up for an account on Owlbear Rodeo and set it up before the game. This is done so you can access the "higher complexity" combat and/or exploration maps. Reading the game rules will be greatly appreciated because others might not be online to help when you are posting. Nonetheless, I will do my absolute best to be there to guide and remind you when you forget or misunderstand a rule after you post, and I'm sure (and hope) the rest are willing to lend a hand too.

What I provide

PDFs of the Fallout 2d20 Core Rulebook, Fallout 2d20 Settler's Guide, Fallout 2d20 Wanderer's Supplement and Cheatsheets will be shared with all players. I personally also own the Fallout 2d20 Quickstart, Fallout 2d20 GM's Toolkit, Fallout 2d20 NPCs Pack (Both Enclave Remnant and Rust Devils) and Fallout 2d20 Astoundingly Awesome Tales series (Excluding Orange Coloured Sky) so you can expect additional rules to be used to liven the game up and pose additional challenges to you. I'm also an avid creator of content so you can expect Perks and Benefits that are tailored to suit your Character, as well as an addition of various non-official Fallout Items that can be found in the wasteland or possibly crafted, all collected in a Google Sheet made and maintained by me. When I say content, Monsters are included too~ I'll be posting battle maps into Discord if a combat requires it. I will also provide a backdrop of each major Point of Interest alongside key NPCs, as well as tokens/images for most Monsters and NPCs. With Owlbear Rodeo, I can additionally provide Combat/Exploration Maps fitted with dynamic lighting if players are up for more complexity. I'm a total novice with Voice-acting, however, that would not be a problem since everything in is text, woohoo! I like to keep every NPC unique through their spins of unique traits, appearances and/or habits, I hope you will like how the NPCs will be presented. Links to simple yet varied (according to the scene) ambiences will be posted into Discord which you can listen to hopefully help with immersion while writing up a post. I have more confidence in designing challenging and tactical encounters, as such, I'm usually by the book in terms of rules and mechanics, but seeing we are all here to have fun, rules can and will be modified to suit the table's needs.

Gameplay details

"Session 0" which lasts for a week will be held to break the ice between us, lay down the rules of the table, set up and confirm player expectations, give a brief world introduction as well as create characters together. If you do not want to create a character, there will also be a few Pre-Gens for you to choose from and modify (If you wish). A Lines and Veil document will also be sent during this session, it can be edited anytime throughout the game, and I will check it before the first post I make every day. During the game, if something you are uncomfortable with comes up, you can discuss it with the group and express your needs or wants for how the play should continue. After the end of each week, I will give a synopsis of what happened in that week and read your opinions of the game, whether it be an issue or a good part. A Star and Wishes document will also be sent to you all so I can draft next week's posts with what you like and your wants in mind.

How will character creation work

You only need to have a rough draft of what you want to play and your character's backstory, either in your head, written down on a piece of paper or typed into a digital document. If you do not want to create a character, there will also be a few Pre-Gens for you to choose from and modify (If you wish). The actual character creation process and finishing up your character's backstory details will be done during "Session 0" with everyone, or with both of us, alongside anyone else who is interested in a separate channel if you join late, or your character performs very differently from your expectations and you wish to change characters with our or the party's mutual agreement. Your character will be starting at Level 1, with stats decided through Point-buy, the details will be explained during "Session 0" (Or if you choose to, you may scour the Fallout 2d20 Core Rulebook beforehand for it). All official sources are allowed, Custom Content will be allowed on a case-by-case basis after I review them, with the clause that I can edit/rebalance them outside of game sessions when required.
