Fallout! (Sandbox)

[Dark Light]

So with the excitement of Fallout 76, until the BETA is released, I wanna have a go at 'leaving the vault'.

I was thinking we use standard SPECIAL for stats.
There could be multiple vaults depending on the number of players.
Each vault offers a unique 'perk' or 'bonus'.
GM gives out lvl's and players decide on their own bonus.

There will be factions and monsters, raiders and trading. Base building. All sorts.

Open to suggestions and ideas!

Intetested.

this sounds cool

@Wadesauce@karmazan

Thanks guys, I had sorta thought this was a flop.
Any ideas or suggestions?

I normally over complicate things so I would like to keep these character sheets pretty basic.

Maybe like

Name:
Age:
Appearence:
Background:
Vault No:
Vault Quirk:

Strength:
Perception:
Endurance:
Charisma:
Intelligence:
Agility:
Luck:

thats good

[Wadesauce]

Basic is good. I like it. Do we have to be vault dwellers? What is the region and timeline?

[Dark Light]

Vault dwellers yes, and with so few people I'd prefer from the same vault.
But anything could have happened in that vault.

Region - uh something untouched by lore so anything can go.
This won't focus too much on region specifics except for maybe the odd landmark. (My geography ain't too good.)

As for time I was thinking early 2200's. Depends on your vault story.

sounds cool but dumb me has only played some of fallout 4 ( I haven't finished my playthrough but I have watched my brother play quite a bit)

[MikkishtheLeprechaun]

Sounds badass

You may want to start with everyone coming from the same vault though

[False Prophet]

Ever since I saw a ghoul, I wanted to play as one. (there's a mod for that, I know. But Something official from Bethesda would be cool.) If I spend the next few days of my life focused completely on fallout then maybe I'd join.

[Burning Kitty]

Interesting idea. It is a lot better than the last Fallout idea I read, i.e. suicide mission.

GM gives out lvl's and players decide on their own bonus.

Everyone starts out at the same level?

[False Prophet]

Oh fuck, finally someone who's active.
Welcome.

[Jaredthefox92]

I'd like to eventually play as one of the factions, but that depends on if this RP takes flight or not. Still, I'm interested.

[False Prophet]

Hopefully it does, I've been kinda excited about it

[Saint Girralo]

I’m interested, but if we come up with a vault we should also come up with what the experiment was for that vault. After all most vaults had a specific experiment (I.E. Vault 111- Cryostasis) or is that what was meant by Vault quirk?

@Saint Girralo

Yup! So if be really happy if you guys started a conversation about that. I have a few ideas

Vault ideas

Vault.

Diseased vault.
Immune to sickness, poisons and can eat off food. (Not immune to radiation)

This vault was used to test and build dwellers immunities. Unfortunately the diseases grew and mutated faster than most people could adapt and because of this the population remained low.
The sick, fearing death, often misbehaved.

Dark vault.
Character can see in low light and have advanced hearing and smell.

This one simply was not ready when the bombs fell. To make matters worse the impact caused damage to the power generators.
Power was a scarce commodity.
The dwellers managed to adapt and make ends meet.

AI vault.
AI companion.

This vault is leisure and luxury at its finest. (And laziness!) The overseer is an advanced AI that eventually kicks them out for their own good.

Vaults could also specialise in tech and not everyone has to have the same quirk, it just needs to fit in the vaults theme.

Sorry about delays, works been a killer. If I could see some character sheets it would help me build the initial exit events and get a vibe for game style.
This will eventually go sand box but I will lead/direct the start.

Sorry and thanks for hanging in there ;)

Yup! A big Lvl 0,

@Jaredthefox92

I really hope and will encourage faction play. Once the game is running I will try build a faction system where you treat a faction as a second character. (Or just let everyone have multiple cha's)

@Dark Light

Cool, I like choosing a side and fighting for a cause and potentially to get cool gear from it. ^^

Seeing activity in this thread is honestly the best thing that's happened today (for me)

@Crystal Amalgam

You either
A) really like this idea and/or fallout.
B) have had a really bad unlucky day.
C) a little of both above.

Lol anyway I'm glad your excited. :)
