What a title, eh? I had a hard time being eloquent.
I've been playing a lot of Fallout: New Vegas recently, and had a sudden idea I really wanted to work upon.
I've already written a lot of it up, and if people are willing, I'll totally GM for it, too.
Okay, so, it's set in the same universe as Fallout: New Vegas. I've just used it as a base, you don't really need to know anything beyond what I will explain in the introduction.
The idea is this:
New Vegas is a city built in the wastelands of the Mojave Desert, constructed to resemble the Las Vegas of today. The New California Republic, or NCR, are interested in expanding eastward and annexing the New Vegas area. However, they face issues, primarily in the form of the Toxic Five, a group of essentially insane criminals who have taken charge of a large criminal gang and are uniting it in a way that is causing the NCR worry.
However, the NCR cannot afford to pull the majority of their troops back to deal with the Toxic Five, as they are also fighting a war with another faction equally powerful. So, they set out the call for bounty hunters, or even small criminal gangs, to kill the Toxic Five with promise of reward.
So, five players will take control of a member of the Toxic Five, and be in control of a fifth of the corresponding manpower of their faction. They'll coordinate PvE attacks and stuff like that, attempting to expand their influence.
However, they will be opposed by...pretty much everyone else. The NCR contractors, rival gangs, and the irradiated monsters of the wastelands.
All the lore that you'll need to know will be in the intro like I said, you don't need to have played ANY Fallout games to participate.
The PvP will be managed by me. I won't be participating in the RP besides being the GM, so essentially only controlling the "E" part of PvE. I'll also try and decide the outcome of certain PvP situations if things get a little silly, as some PvP encounters will probably get convoluted. I'll just try to make sure nobody catches a bullet in their teeth and spits it back, killing their enemy.
The hunters of the Toxic Five will also have some PvE stuff to do, as well. Each group can PM me to set up ambushes or something, to make it more of a surprise, and more exciting when they suddenly get ambushed in the middle of a PvE thing.
So, there it is.
Just checking to see if anyone likes my dumb idea.
