[Phantom]

No I'm not a robot.

[LeoLeonardoIII]

Awesome.

So are we going to get this Fallout RPG underway or what?

[Phantom]

*A space marine and a few Imperial Guardsmen starts to beat Leo, although Phantom, Ghost, and Guardian are still dead.*

My standing action.

[RAM]

*searches the accessible parts of the vault for surviving equipment.*
{Should I be postng the results of my actions?}

[LeoLeonardoIII]

Probably!

[RAM]

*finds a couple of doses of RAD-X and a slightly charred manual for Windsows: Vestige.*

*Throws the RAD-X into the pile and sits down to read the manual.*

[Haika]

*finds the nearest ghoul and plants a tree in his head* >.>

[LeoLeonardoIII]

Haika: The best you can manage is an uncooked six-legged turkey and one of those desk bamboo plants. It looks ... less like you hoped.

[MrWiggles]

Curious:


How does everyone feel about vehicles? With a decent party size you'll need probably more then one or an RV. You can totally be heroic in an RV, right? >.>


Vehicle Combat, is something as a GM, I want to stay away from from, as I find it to be one of the weakest aspect of the d20 system.

[RAM]

Well, it probably doesn't matter, long distance travel is generally abstracted no matter how you do it, so the vehicle is more like a place to hold equipment and something comparatively immobile that needs to be protected. It would help to keep the party together, but otherwise I think we could safely do without anything...

Well yea, long distance travel has to be abstracted. No one (well sane) would want to rp 'Are We There Yet?', but if given cars then car related combat could and probably would ensue, unless I can force a way to make it more economically feasible to not drive and fight.

[RAM]

Well if the car takes a bullet the next few quests might be for the sacred replacement parts...

[LeoLeonardoIII]

For a post-apoc thing I'd prefer something along the lines of Max Max: Beyond Thunderdome. That is, open dune buggy or jeep sort of thing, possibly motorcycles because those are also awesome. Everyone might have their own vehicle.

And you will absolutely have to abstract vehicular combat and movement, or else you need to use rules like in Car Wars. They're not too difficult (that is a dirty lie) once you get used to them (few will want to) but it's a pretty sound and balanced depiction of vehicular physics (the one plus side).

Oh fuck sakes, Car Wars. I ran an interesting Twisted Metal game with it, but never again.

[RAM]

Te solution is simple, if we have the only cars in existence, then there won't be anyone to have a vehicular battle with, until the PvP starts...
