Cowtown | A weird, wild Fallout game deep in the heart of Texas!
Fallout: The Roleplaying Game | Campaign
About the adventure
🤠 Welcome to Texas, wastelander! Your adventure starts at the remains of the Voorhees dairy farm--a small, safe haven in the midst of a vast urban wasteland. From there, you'll venture out deep into the ruins of Fort Worth, Lake Worth, Arlington and the center of Cowtown: the Stockyards. There's mystery. Intrigue. Death. Destruction. Hope. Fear. Earthquakes. Line dancing. Bowling balls. Cattle drives. Beauty contests. Military bases. And fiery dooooom. But, whatever else you do: AVOID THE RADIOACTIVE PICKLES.
🌼 This game is for new players. And veteran players. And all players in between. 🔍 This campaign is one giant "solve the mystery" mission combined with world exploration. It's zany, and tongue-in-cheek, and doesn't take itself too seriously. I've modeled it directly from the more recent video games (New Vegas, 4, and 76), and it plays as such. 🕑 Meeting once, every-other-week, this campaign will last approximately 6 months. 😜 Note: You do NOT need to be geographically located in Texas to play this game. There is also no need for you to have VISITED Texas at any time in your life to play this game. It MAY be helpful to know that "y'all" is a contraction of "you all".

What I provide
Come join me for 13 Unique adventures that include: ✪ exploring Cowtown ✪ finding hidden items ✪ siding with different factions ✪ crafting and upgrading equipment ✪ buying and selling goods ✪ creating settlements ✪ solving mysteries ✪ completing side quests ✪ interacting with NPCs ✪ COMBAT! 👇 Crunchy game mechanics info, below. (Ignore if you're new to Fallout.) ------------------------------------------------------ 📚 I'll be running this game using the Core Rulebook, and the Settler's Supplement. 🔎 Custom Rule #1: Instead of rolling Survival to scavenge/search for items in a given location, players will simply move around the map and items will "appear" when you walk close to them. (This is more like the video games.) 🔍 Custom Rule #2: Instead of (also) rolling skill checks to craft items, you *only* need to have the materials, Perks, and the plans to do so. (Again, this is more like the video games.) 📋 Everything else is as per the rulebooks! ------------------------------------------------------
