i forgot fallout new vegas really is one of the games of all time. you're a cowboy. you're in a post apocalyptic america. there's the most insane larp war going on between a bunch of fascist ancient roman cosplayers, and a bunch of californians rping as the dead united states government. theres also a 200+ yr old man trying to play capitalism. you were shot in the head, double tapped even, and still crawled out of your grave. it's about the apocalypse, but more importantly, it's about what happens next. its even gay sometimes!

Happy to share art for the upcoming project by Monte Cook Games, Knights of Dust and Neon.

Western + Knights + Bikes + High Fantasy; This was a very exciting project to work on! Vehicles are probably one of the subjects I paint the least, so it took some effort to find the right balance between believability and unique design for the bikes (which was a must for the setting).

Hope you like it! Please let me know what you think,

All the best,

JCH

The hardest part of being a Fallout Fan with this new TV show is seeing other people come up with theories/ideas that I KNOW are wrong because they were already resolved in one of the games.

What happened to Vault-Tec/Corporate leadership and the majority of the US Government?

Well, stop your theorizing because they were on an Oil Rig that I blew up in Fallout 2, killing their inbred descendants. Then their remnants came out East, and then I killed them again in Fallout 3.

The US was so privatized in the Fallout Universe that those major corporations are the Government. Their shareholders are the officeholders, the State and Corporations working in unity against the people. Eventually, this forms into the self-consuming incompetent Enclave. None of this is a theory, this is directly told to us and you can ask people about in-game. Obviously some affiliates, like Dr. Braun, House, Sinclair etc. had their own shelters away from the oil rig, and it’s possible Barb is in one of those, but by in large most of the plutocrats are dead

I've been replaying Fallout 4 on survival, and I just keep thinking about how absolutely wild the game is from Father's perspective, considering he's watching you the whole time.

Like Father's dying. He's spent his entire life working towards what he considers his goal of 'fixing the Commonwealth, etc.' but now he's dying and he just kinda wants to see what happens. He's expecting you to pop out of the vault and last a few days, a week or two at most, before the Commonwealth chews you up and spits you back out. Instead, you wake up, go take out a bunch of raiders, a full on deathclaw, start up a settlement that thrives under your guidance, go liberate a bunch of other settlements - basically you start amassing an army and you've been awake for like what- two weeks? Three weeks?

Then you set off towards Diamond City, and Father's thinking 'ok, Boston proper is WAY more dangerous than the northern parts of the Commonwealth. There's Raiders and Gunners and Super Mutants and ferals. Surely you're going to struggle slightly. But nope, off you go to Diamond City, marching in, asking for tips on your son, and leaving to rescue the synth prototype detective. Oh, and of course you walk out of that practically unscathed.

Then you kill Kellogg. You just walk in, kill him, take a part of his brain.

Father watches on in fascination and maybe some slight horror.

Then the Brotherhood show up - depending on how you play, you join them and start climbing the ranks. You're the General of the every growing Minutemen. You start working with the people that are freeing synths. Oh and what's that? You're friends with the Cabbots? And the Mayor of Goodneighbor travels with you? Oh and sometimes you LARP as the silver shroud but that's just some weird little side note.

Like no wonder Father names you director of the Institute after he dies, my man releases you and then you practically take over the Commonwealth, the thing the institute had been trying to do for like... Ever. They're literally replacing people in power to have a fraction of control and you waltz in, fresh as a pansy, and take over.

Father watches your life like some YouTube highlights compilation and is like huh.

Games night!

Played ffg's Fallout.

The game is a mix between a role-playing game, a board game and a little bit of a dungeon crawler all enrolled into one. Fallout is a really fun to play, highly recommend it to anyone. You get to quest and role play your way through the wastelands, ruins, towns, radiated areas, and the vaults where you meet other characters and get to fight bugs, mutants and raiders.

We failed the main quest, to protect a town and find a G.E C.K. But, we did have great fun doing all the side quests on the way. I also, absolutely did not rob those guys of their things in that small town, can't believe my character became a Villainous, I was the victim 😁 Fallout is a great game play if you get the chance, highly recommended.

While we sit in anticipation of tonight's Fallout premiere, check out our recommendations for Fallout fans who want to have their own post-apocalyptic adventures at home.

Making a ttrpg with a trait system, kinda like fallout and project Zomboid. Kinda like DnD feats.

I need some idea's if anyone's gotten?

[kyliafanfiction]

Okay, so, apparently the Fallout TV show is canon.

That is just terrible management of your IP. TV shows should always be an alternate continuity of a video game.

I enjoyed New Vegas well enough, so I'm definitely a mite annoyed they decided to nuke the NCR all over again which... sure was a choice. Sounds like mostly they wanted an excuse to center the Brotherhood of Steel more, which is a fan favorite faction for baffling af reasons.

Stupid choices or not, I am going to delight in the rage of the NV stans because I hate them. Their tears of rage will be delicious, and their screams music to my ears.

i bought the fallout shelter board game a few months back (this one if u aren't aware although i don't have that playmat wth)

and it has to be said. i was expecting a massive cash grab and figured it was going to be a dogshit game for the $$$ but alas. it's actually pretty good. like genuinely fun to play. well-designed. maybe a bit on the short side. but you should try it.

This is how Deacon plays chess.

you know what’s probably more fun than playing chess? cheating at chess

“ohhh would you look at that, my pawns found jesus and now they’re all bishops”

“so i realize it looks like i’m putting a thimble on the board but actually my rooks have been using their downtime to build another rook, one that’s better, stronger, faster—”

“hey welcome back. while you left to get a snack, those six pieces you’d captured slipped their guards, tunneled to safety and emerged right in the middle of your royal palace.”

“oof, looks like you’ve got my king cornered…maybe this is a good time to mention that shortly before we started playing, my pawns and knights revolted and instituted a representative democracy. feel free to kill the puppet ruler that was the one remaining vestige of our tyranny, you cringing servant of the crown. vive la revolution!”

[joelchaimholtzman]

Another piece I made for Knights of Dust and Neon by Monte Cook Games.

Another step out of the comfortzone here with designing creatures. Like vehicles/tech, this is something I get commissioned to paint more often lately, and I enjoy myself greatly exploring these subjects.

Hope you like it! Please let me know what you think,

Cheers,

Game Night!

I’ve been having issues posting today so hopefully this works - and that my last two attempts don’t all post finally as well.

Been planning a game night with my brother and two best friends for a bit and today was the day. Not Magic: The Gathering or Pokémon today, though I got some free Pokémon cards and a Magic commander deck was out on display (as it was on brand for what game we *did* play); the game was Fallout the Board Game with its New California expansion.

We didn’t go all out for the party but we put in some effort with decorations, themed food, and a Fallout playlist in the background.

We played the cooperative version and got The Pitt scenario, where we had to help fight against a group of slavers in this post-apocalyptic wasteland. I played as a Vault Dweller, as I had intentionally worn this sleeves hoodie I had for an unrelated Halloween costume years ago (a generic Pokémon trainer, actually, with my wife having been a Pikachu that year) that I’ve been told is reminiscent of a Vault Suit. In the end I ended up only at about level 6 but I was a villainous super mutant vault dweller: For the former, this was due to mistaking the creepy looks on the faces of some evidently-innocent NPCs (as depicted in the card’s event description) as being evil, as I proceeded to incorrectly defend myself and one of my friends from; the latter was due to continuing a quest with an NPC that I knew was up to no good, and ultimately chugging her mutant serum myself rather than dumping it into the water supply, to avoid poisoning others. Though I wasn’t that helpful with the main quest, I completed enough side quests that I was the first to achieve my individual goal, which we all had to do on top of the main quest to win the game, and I majorly contributed to one of the other goals getting completed.

It was really fun, but there were some disappointing parts: my super mutantness didn’t come with any special abilities on its own, one of my friends and I mistakenly stopped our vault diving before we had finished, and there could’ve been a more celebratory ending to the game (perhaps if there was a final quest card just to read the victory outcome, a la cutscenes in fighting games like Mortal Kombat or like one of the flavor cards that I read out when we defeat Nicol Bolas and his DreadHorde in a game of Horde Magic). This round was fairly easy as well, though if we had continued much longer it could’ve gotten quite hard, as I had decided to focus on exploring a ton of the world and was thus uncovering more and more enemy NPC characters as I was searching for another vault rumored my an NPC from the first vault.

If you love Fallout and board games, I’d recommend picking it up. We needed 5-6 hours for the four of us but we planned for that and in the end it was quite worth it - even for me, who had no connection to the franchise.
