I would really like to both use a bit of the original map, as well as involve some of our own material, so I was thinking perhaps north of New Vegas a ways, just off the original map, and using maybe Freeside as a Starter settlement. Or, if you all like we can just use the original map, but remember, the concept is the fact a Vault exploded and causes a massive Nuclear eruption and spawns a hell-sized number of mutated animals and Ghouls over a couple decades, meaning the map of NV would likely be less populated then even before, but settlements themselves would be more coordinated and well defended.
