Fallout: Post Nuclear Warfare RPG

[Kildare]

Has anyone played a D&D style PC game called Fallout(there's also Fallout 2 and Fallout Tactics)? It's the non-magic, modern style D&D RPG set in the real world. The story is that the world has just suffered a mass nuclear warfare(imagine that the U.S.S.R did launch their missiles during the Cold War, or the end of World War III where everyone manages to obliterate each other). However, a small percentage of the world's population hid themselves in underground shelters called "Vaults", to protect themselves from the effects of nuclear warfare. That's where we come in. We are the "Vault Dwellers". I'll probably set us up some kind of mission like the ones in the original Fallout game(just to let you know, in Fallout 1 it was to find a new water chip, in Fallout 2 it was to find the Garden of Eden Creation Kit, a device to recreate a "paradise" for the survivors of the war).

Note: The Vaults won't be the only one who survive the devastation. There will be others as well. Also, there are new kinds of "creatures" roaming the earth as the result of the radiation caused by the nuclear detonations(Deathclaws, Giant Pigs, Giant Ants, Radscorpions, Super Mutants, etc). We'll make things up as we go along.

To join, all you have to do is just to post up a bio, and you're ready! For more info regarding Fallout, visit www.gamesover.com/walkthroughs/fallout2.htm

It should give you some info on a character's skills(normal abilities such as Science, Doctor, Big Guns, Small Guns, Energy Guns, Lockpick, etc) and perks(Bloody Mess, Fastshot, Jinxed, Sex Appeal, Mutated, etc).

P.S. Please do note that there is NO magic in this RPG. Any bios with magic in it will be unaccepted.

Well....it was SOMETHING like it. But regardless of what it uses, it doesn't matter here. We're going to do it without the dices and stuff anyway. Just plain old RPing.

Dude, I'm so in this RP. Depending on how you start this RP changes my character's bio. If we're all supposed to start from a single vault then what is below will work. If we all meet up, then I'm a merc. caravan guard who's based out of The Hub.

Name: Kastor Ringalis
Gender: Male
Age: 25
Skills: Small Guns, Barter, Outdoorsman
Perks: Skilled, Gifted
Appearance: Sun bleached hair, very tanned skin. Kastor has been one of the few in the vault to make surface trips a regular hobby.
