UH-OH. YOU WERE WATCHING TV IN YOUR HOUSE, LOCATED SOMEWHERE IN THE RURAL MISSISSIPPI, AND YOU RECEIVED BREAKING NEWS: NUCLEAR LAUNCHES WERE DETECTED! EVERYONE PANICS, VAULT-TEC CORP GATHERS ITS CLIENTS INTO NUCLEAR SHELTERS, CALLED "VAULTS".

WAT DO?

Spoiler: What's this shit about & The Rules (click to show/hide)

Hello, this is my first RTD ever, inspired by the RTD of the same name by Yoink. As you can see, it didn't last long at all. So, with the permission of Yoink, I decided to reboot the RTD.
Let's talk about the rules right now:
Standard d6 RTD dice:
1. Laser Anti-Missile System made by John exploded, causing heavy damage to John.
2. Laser Anti-Missile System made by John doesn't work correctly, or its laser too weak to destroy the nukes.
3. Laser Anti-Missile System made by John is working, but its laser destroys the nukes rather slowly.
4. Laser Anti-Missile System made by John is working well.
5. Laser Anti-Missile System made by John is working REALLY well.
6. Laser Anti-Missile System made by John works so well, that it goes kaput after the shot.
Starting location:
You start in the rural Mississippi area, 18 miles (or 29 kilometers) away to the southeast from the capitol of the state, Jackson. The area has 2 wooden houses, 1 garage with 2 old pickup cars, and a barn with 1 cow and 1 bull.
Inventory:
It is a minimalist RTD, which means you can pull things out of your ass. The only thing you can't pull out of your ass is money. Every player gets 700$ at the start of the game.
Objective: Survive at any cost. Or, if you're particularly brave, save the world from nuclear annihilation.
That's about it. Have fun surviving!

[CABL]

Turn 1: Unlucky Rolls

First Action: Be returned to active agent status by the subliminal messages in the broadcast.

[3] The message in the broadcast makes you remember that you were in a secret of agency of some sort. Unfortunately, you can't remember which one.

Action : attempt to secure any working transport, so I can get to local centre of capitalistic pigs.

[1] You try to drive one of the pickup cars. The engine started leaking oil when you tried to start it.

Action: Don't get nuked.

[1] China really hates your guts for some reason, so it launched a nuclear strike at the starting location.
Unless destroyed somehow, the nuke will reach the coordinates in 3 turns.

Action: Plant a barrier of anti-radiation tress around the propiety.

[1] Did you say "tress"? You try to make some tresses out of your hair, then you cut them off and throw them at the ground, making a circle out of your hair. Some dude looks at you like you would look at the guy, who tries to protect his house from the nukes by making a barrier out of tresses.

First action: Grab my poison-filled pinata and check my surroundings.

You go outside with your pinata and look around. You see 2 wooden houses, a barn with a pair of bovines, and a garage. This place is surrounded by the trees from all directions, expect the western one, where lays a dirt path, leading to an asphalt road.

First action: Activate my phone's data connection and, overcome by guilt, access the internet to hop on Bay12 and update a certain abandoned rtd of mine.

[1] When you pull out a phone from your pockets, you accidentally drop your telephone on the floor.

Gained Status: Lightly wounded feet.

First action: Use my calculating skills to determin how much time do we have before the nuke hits, and how large will the explosion be

[2] You try to calculate the time before the nuke hits the area, and also how large the explosion will be, but the numbers in your head are scrambled together into a mess. You decide to calculate it later?

Nations/Organizations/NPC turns
China launches brand new models of the nuclear bombs at the USA. [6] The nukes are very fast but unstable. They explode in the air over the Hawaii.

USA launches counter nuclear-strike at the China. [3] They're on their way to China, even though they look like they weren't maintained well enough. 3 turns to impact China

Vault-Tec Corp starts advertising their Vaults. [6] The advertisement program is too costly for them, so they shut it down. They got a good chunk of new clients, tho.

Attention, new players! From now on, please write "Status: Healthy" in your character sheet between the first action and appearance.
It's simply for the easier copypasting.

[Secheral]

Go to the barn and ride a bovine to the west.

[Glass]

Wow, five 1s. Just wow.
Be at some place that isn't getting nuked.
