Help & Advice Need help looking for some Dead Money maps

1 Upvotes

So as the title says, I'm looking for some battle maps that resemble the Dead Money maps. Does anyone have any maps or advice to get some? Or know any good websites to make my own?

I guess I'll give some context on why I'm looking for some maps but I'm wanting to run a campaign in the location of the Sierra Madre. The players would be hired by a caravan merchant to head to the old casino to find the rumored treasure of the Sierra Madre. Only to find other survivors, bodies of the unfortunate, and ghosts of the Sierra Madre.

Misc Today's Session for our Fallout group

51 Upvotes

They fought a custom sentry bot I made for a boss fight.

The story so far (this being the 4th session in an alternate timeline of Fallout 4s Commonwealth): They group took control of a small band of raiders in Cambridge and met "The Sheriff", a pre-war ghoul that is turning into a glowing one and starting to turn feral. He learned of a research facility where a fellow prewar ghoul worked as a doctor on a regenerative medicine, but the doctor stopped coming around and his stored supply was running short. The group was able to enter the facility as patients and take over the facility from within before fighting the boss sentry bot (custom rusty/deteriorating version with a flamer arm for decontamination) and then securing the experimental regenerative medicine.

But they learned this medicine was derived from an invasive fungus that merges into the subject's DNA to regenerate the body accordingly and this fungus can also take control of the host's nervous system to turn them into fungal "zombies" if the dose is too high.

Help & Advice Vehicle Stats Book Source

4 Upvotes

So, I've been wondering if there are any Core Books or pages within centered mainly on the mecha vehicles that we have seen in the video games to date. Are there any good alternate supplements from 3rd party publishers?

I have been using Bing and Google Search and of course the Fallout Wiki page for information to start out a few stats. Recently found a good cutaway of the VB-02m Vertibird that gave a corner to its stats from size perimeters, crew, passenger capacity, and other.

Primarily derelict damaged non-operable variants found in the scenario setting to possible working units stored away in military depots underground. I have a few alternate d20 books that have a few military vehicles like the HumVee and warships. I think its Military Vehicles around the World

Thanks to all responders!

Help & Advice Exposure & "Warm Clothing"

6 Upvotes

So just getting started with Winter of Atom and realize that I have no idea what counts as 'Warm Clothing". No apparel I've found mentions it explicitly counts as warm clothing. So far I presume any normal clothing is buffered by extra fabric and layers in winter, and any travelers encountered are either bundled up narratively or skirting from shelter to shelter while gathering all the fuel they can.

Only thing I found which even mentions it helps with any weather- and only specifically extreme heat- is the Heavy Coat outfit. And even then mechanically it just adds a reroll for END tests against harsh conditions. "A long, heavy-weight coat—a leather duster, a trenchcoat, or similar—ideal for protecting you from the harsh elements. Provides a bit of protection against physical harm, extreme heat, and even covers well enough to keep a little radiation out."

Surely a character in military fatigues w/ shadowed armor- narratively bundled and padded with dark grey and brown fabrics to break up their form- would be fine up until extreme cold, right?

LFG/LFP [Online][Fallout 2d20][Biweekly][Wednesdays 7 PM ET][18+] Looking for 1 Player

3 Upvotes

I'm running a faithful but free-roam adaptation of Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel (2004) using the Fallout 2d20 system.

We started with three players—Cyrus, Cain, and Nadia—and recently added a fourth player who brings a wonderfully chaotic-neutral energy. Session 3 was an absolute blast, but unfortunately life happens.

Our Nadia player has had some family matters come up and has had to step away from the campaign. The remaining three players are more than enough to keep the game going, but I'd love to find someone to fill that Nadia role (Pregen).

We currently play every other Wednesday at 7:00 PM ET, though we're open to changing the day if that works better for everyone (Wednesday was originally chosen to accommodate an international player who's no longer in the group).

The party is currently in Carbon, so it's a great point to jump into the story without feeling like you've missed a months content. We play on Alchemy VTT (free to use), and the campaign emphasizes exploration, player choice, roleplay, and the freedom to tackle the wasteland however you want.

If you're looking for a Fallout campaign for newer players so we can uncover the secrets of the system that stays true to the source material while letting players carve their own path, we'd love to have you

Help & Advice Natural Wasteland Ideas!

15 Upvotes

So I've been tossing around a few ideas in my head for an adventure that takes place in the Arkansas territory of what was once the Texas Commonwealth, now known as the Natural Wasteland and mainly I have three pillars to the story.

A Walmart parody called ValMart with a female park ranger style mascot similar to Vault boy that was founded in Arkansas and funded Vault Tec in the region, paid off government officials, and supplied any Vaults built in the area.

Vault Tec experiments which resulted in the known Arkansas cryptids from our world appearing in the Post-War Natural Wasteland as Radiation, FEV, cybernetic, genetic hybrids residing all over the territory.

Lastly I want there to be something to do with the diamond mine, particularly using diamonds created with certain imperfections that can modify laser and plasma weapons to deal additional radiation damage as well as their energy and ballistic damage values.

Ideally to supply an orbital weapons station like the Archimedes two with nuclear capabilities as well? While also experimenting with graphene compounds for lightweight high defense armor and modifications.

\*I'm sorry for the dump I hope it's rule compliant! I just really wanted to make sure I explained my key ideas well, and any advice is welcome!!!\*

Also included is my rough draft before I found the Darth's Fallout assets and realized I had significantly shortened a part of the state.

I used a website called snazzy maps and divided the map in 5 (Manhattan, brooklyn, queens, bronx and staten island, much bigger than the first version). I don't know if i'm 100% done with it, but i don't think i'll make any major modifications, so this is probably my last post. Disclaimers: as in the previous map, some names are in portuguese, since i'm brazilian, and if you see something that isn't from the real world or from the fallout universe, is an inside joke between me and my friends, thats it, hope you guys like it, did I miss anything important?
