Cin-City Stories: A Fallout Campaign (Friday Game)

How to prepare

Having a free Discord, Roll20, and Zoom account will help players immensely.

What I provide

I will be using a mixture of Discord, Roll20, Youtube (for music), and Zoom for the mechanics of the games combat. As for the in game rules and the application of them, the great thing about the 2d20 system, especially its Fallout variant is that it has something I like to call "buy in crunch". I can in fact be a crunchy game, but abstaining from some of the more intricate mechanics like crafting and survival does not affect the system overall. I as a general rule tend to focus more on narrative than combat, or I at least believe that combat should have stakes and make sense I the context of said narrative, so players worrying about a 'rules as written' approach need not worry.

Gameplay details

Cin-City Stories: A Fallout Campaign will utilize the Monte Cook RPG Consent Checklist as a safety tool for this campaign. I will also be using Discord messaging as a way for players to communicate concerns to me.

How will character creation work

The first three to five sessions players will be using pre-generated robotic characters that are searching for the wasteland vigilante the Machinist. The reason for this is two-fold; one, it allows the players to learn core aspects of gameplay (attacking, skills, etc.) without having to worry about the larger survival aspects that comes from playing with organic characters. The second reason is so that that players can be introduced to the setting and have time to think of a character that they want to play as that fits in the Cin-City setting, though if they want they can keep playing as robots if they want. The players will have character sheets on roll20, and be invited to a Discord server where they can keep track of things and communicate with myself and the other players out of session.
