About the adventure
A string of grisly murders and high profile thefts shake up the Commonwealth. Coupled with that is the start of one of the harshest winters the Commonwealth has ever seen. The NCR, Brotherhood of Steel, Followers of the Apocalypse, Regulators, Gun Runners, Crimson Caravan Co, Van Graffs, Khans, several raider gangs, and even the local Vault Dwellers have to cohabitate in order to survive the deadly freeze. With a (very tenuous) truce, most factions have come together against the cold, and a mysterious faction from the west, known only as the Children of Atom, has grown exponentially since the Cold Snap began. Which faction do YOU hail from? Do you walk the Wastes as a (wo)man, machine, super mutant, or ghoul? What are you willing to do to survive? And how much are you prepared to sacrifice to save your patch of dirt? Your mettle WILL be tested in "Fallout : Atomic Winter"! EXPECT: đ "West Marches" campaign spanning 12-16 sessions (or more!) đ Morbid Humor ⢠Signature "Fallout" Setting đľď¸ââď¸ Noire Style Detection/Investigation 𤪠(In)Sanity Mechanics 𩸠GORY Urban Combat
Game style
Rule of Cool (RoC)
âRule of Coolâ emphasizes creative story beats over sticking to a systemâs rules as written. Players have the ability to push the limits of the rules or even break core rule mechanics at times if the Game Master thinks it is interesting, fun, or cool enough.
Theater of the Mind
âTheater of the Mindâ uses little to no visuals for scene settings and combat. Instead, the narrative imagery comes from the Game Masterâs descriptions and character action and movement comes from Playersâ descriptions.
Combat Heavy
âCombat Heavyâ games emphasize the combat mechanics within their systems over roleplay or puzzle solving. There are frequent and longer battles with enemies and a greater emphasis on tactical game play.

(I suggest testing the connection through the settings in discord prior to the game. We will use push to talk to avoid talking over one another and eliminate background noise). â˘A solid internet connection (will make your gaming experience much more enjoyable). â˘A webcam is strongly recommended, but is not a requirement. (Sometimes its hard to "read the room" as a GM if we can't see facial expressions/cues, but some people don't like to be on camera and that's totally fine.)
What I provide
If you're part of the VTT, I will provide everything digitally. If you're part of my live game, then this game is being held at the Isle of Games game store in Tucson, Arizona. I will provide almost everything needed for game night, including handouts and pregen character sheets. You must provide your own dice!!

How will character creation work
We will do character creation together during the first session. I will provide the necessary handouts and character sheets too. Right after we finish making characters, the mission starts. **Any player(s) joining AFTER the first session must come with a character made already, or plug & play as one of the default pre-generated characters. I offer Lucy MacLean, Maximus, and The Ghoul as pre-generated characters.
