GM NOTICE
Boys and girls, thanks for being so patient. I think the universe is doing everything it can to delay this role play. Yesterday hurricane Ophelia hit us and I have no power. Typing this from public access Wi-Fi on my phone. Hopefully the power is returned today but there's 250,000 homes without power and 1000 individual faults, our useless government has informed us it could take a few days for some areas to get power back.

Thanks for being patient, I'll read through the sheets now for an hour while I have access to this and might get around to accepting them. Sorry and thanks, again.


Fortunately power in my area is back up and much sooner than expected.




Overview





"War. War never changes.

Since the dawn of human kind, when our ancestors first discovered the killing power of rock and bone, blood has been spilled in the name of everything: from God to justice to simple, psychotic rage.

In the year 2077, after millennia of armed conflict, the destructive nature of man could sustain itself no longer. The world was plunged into an abyss of nuclear fire and radiation.

But it was not, as some had predicted, the end of the world. Instead, the apocalypse was simply the prologue to another bloody chapter of human history. For man had succeeded in destroying the world – but war, war never changes."


<Excited beeping>


Welcome Wastelander, in case the title and intro weren't enough, yes, this is based in the Fallout universe. The game will be non canon and set in the good old Capital Wasteland, so while you are free to make up your own locations and such, the events of the third game never took place. Depending on the interest gauged and the dedication of our players we may at some point folly into other settings the series has graced; New California, Midwest, Texas, Mojave Wasteland and The Commonwealth. So, don't be put off if the Capital Wasteland wasn't your favorite setting or Fallout 3 isn't your first choice of game, I believe it is fair to say that it would be the one people would be most familiar with however, which is why we're using it in this game.

With that out of the way and hopefully understood, some rules for you to digest;


Rules


1. Use your common sense, please.

2. No meta-gaming. (Your character using OOC information that they have not learned by their own means, this includes having your character driven by out of character vendettas or goals in order for them to gain information).

3. No power-gaming. (When a player forces an action upon someone or something when either the action is illogical or the receiver is not given the ability to respond in any way. Also just being blatantly over-powered and withstanding injuries unrealistically).

4. While it is understood that this is a treacherously vile and mature role play setting, romance that extends into the territory of 'The Dirty Deed' should be kept out of the thread and brought to private messages. Mature role play is understood but sex or sexual interaction is not permitted in-game.

5. Your character’s skills must be fitting for their age. No 17 year old doctors who can cure cancer with a spork and some Deathclaw fecal matter, ok? (Actually, has anyone tried that yet?)

6. You are NOT the Lone Wanderer, Chosen One, Courier Six or The Vault Dweller. When playing, think of yourself as that random NPC in the background, of course this does not mean you shouldn’t have an in-depth background with roots and memories, you are welcome and encouraged to do so.

7. Include the phrase; <Excited beeping>, at the bottom of your character sheet so I know you read all these rules.

8. This is not a democracy, but the GMs appreciate and learn from your feedback.

9. Max characters per player; 2



Character Creation



Life & Death Gameplay.

The Capital Wasteland is a dangerous place and if you're not careful, you may find yourself paying dearly for your mistake. Death is a potential outcome for players and the result is permanent. However, this does not mean you cannot create another character for the role play (although it will have to go through the same acceptance process as if you're a new member before being played). Who dies and when is at the discretion of the GM or the person who created a certain character, all decisions are final and irreversible - keep that in mind folks.

Character Sheet.

Below you'll find the skeleton for beginning on your character(s) if you simply cannot wait for an OOC, you can post here or message me directly with any questions relating to the role play and characters. Happy gaming.

Karma: (Good, Neutral, Evil).
Faction Allegiance: (None, Brotherhood of Steel, Outcasts, Chinese Remnants, Raiders, Talon Company, Railroad, etc. Feel free to create your own).

*Skill list: Barter, Energy Weapons, Explosives, Small Guns, Big Guns, Lockpick, Medicine, Melee Weapons, Repair, Science, Sneak, Charisma, Unarmed


FAQ



Q:
I'm very much interested in this as well. I'm new to this site, but I do have some to experience from other sites. Just a qjestion, where in the time time would we be starting?


A:
2277, same as Fallout 3, two hundred years have passed since the war.

Q:
6. You are NOT the Lone Wanderer, Chosen One, Courier Six or The Vault Dweller. When playing, think of yourself as that random NPC in the background, of course this does not mean you shouldn’t have an in-depth background with roots and memories, you are welcome and encouraged to do so.

@Laika
Does that mean no one who lived in a Vault at all?


A:
I think the OP's use of specifics has people confused, so let me try to clear it up:

The GM does not mean you cannot be a courier, from a vault or just generally alone. They mean that you can't be some one-man-army videogame protagonist, because that's simply bad writing from a collaborative roleplay standpoint.





Notes.
- You might want to reread the rules again to ensure your character gets accepted as quickly as possible.
- The thread will be added to and may see some edits over the coming days.
- Have fun and don't be a d-bag!

Just another update for you, unfortunately I have to make myself scarce for a week -- I'll disclose why at a later stage. You'll see an update here on Monday and, sorry about this.

On the bright side, you guys now have plenty of time to write your characters or brainstorm plots and backstory with each other. Characters will be reviewed and approved on Monday evening.

That's a bit of a rude way of putting it. I'd be glad to help. But not with an attitude like that. I wasn't trying to be an asshole. I just don't necessarily see "hot fallout cosplay" as the search I would have chosen.

That's a tad hostile. Maybe Angel could've worded their post better, but it was perfectly fine, constructive criticism.
