With a Bang and a Whimper

About the adventure

Welcome to the Commonwealth, initiate. If you’ve spent years wandering the digital ruins of the Bethesda games but find the idea of a tabletop character sheet more intimidating than a Deathclaw, this is your designated safe zone. This "Intro to Fallout" adventure is designed specifically for vault-dwellers who are brand new to the 2d20 system. We’ll cover everything from spending Action Points to scavenging for that one elusive desk fan, all while navigating a high-stakes story where your choices actually matter. The setting is the jagged, irradiated remains of Boston; expect a healthy mix of gritty survival, dark humor, and "MacGyver-ing" your way out of a Super Mutant ambush using nothing but a roll of duct tape and a dream. We’ll learn the mechanics at a steady pace—starting with the basics of the d20 dice pool and moving into the fun stuff like VATS and crafting. Whether you want to be a charismatic smooth-talker, a Brotherhood of Steel hopeful, or a Ghoul who’s seen too much, there’s a seat at the campfire for you. Grab a Nuka-Cola and clear some space on your Pip-Boy. By the end of this session, you won’t just know how to play; you’ll have earned enough XP to officially stop being "the new kid" in the wasteland.
