A Savage Worlds Fan Toolkit for Playing in the Post Apocalyptic World of Fallout A Savage Worlds Fan Toolkit for Playing in the Post Apocalyptic World of Fallout 1 Welcome to the Fallout Savage Worlds fan setting document. Fallout as you probably know already is a series of post-apocalyptic retro-futuristic roleplaying games on PC and console. The aim of this document is intended to give you everything you need to run a Fallout game with just the Savage Worlds corebook. This book does not contain a primer on the setting... yet. Stay tuned for future updates with tweaked rules, new items and an original setting module (the state of Colorado or as the locals call it, the Frontier). Until then the best place to get more info about the Fallout universe is the excellent wiki at http://fallout.wikia.com If you have any questions, comments or suggestions please feel free to send me an email at [email protected] Table of Contents Rules.....................................................................................................................................................2 Post-War Humanity..............................................................................................................................6 Gear and Equipment.............................................................................................................................9 Hazards...............................................................................................................................................13 Creatures of the Wastes......................................................................................................................15 1 Rules Skill List Athletics (Agility) Explosives (Agility) Fighting (Agility) Gambling (Smarts) Guts (Spirit) Healing (Smarts) Intimidation (Spirit) Investigation (Smarts) Knowledges (Smarts) Lockpick (Agility) Notice (Smarts) Operate (Agility) Persuasion (Spirit) Repair (Smarts) Ride (Agility) Science!

The skill list is already pretty extensive, instead use spirit based fear checks. In addition most denizens of the wastes have seen their share of violence and death. Only roll fear based fear checks in truly horrific or bizarre instances. Hindrances Chem Addict (minor) You are addicted to a certain chem, unless you have at least 1 dose a week you take a -1 to all rolls Illness (Major/Minor) 2 The hero has contracted some non-contagious infection that saps their stamina. The illness is not life-threatening, but causes the hero to rest more often – more time to experience unwanted encounters… The hero may seek a cure to their illness, but the GM should make them earn their cure. Major: After any physical exertion, such as Running, Climbing or Swimming, Fighting, the Hero must pass a Vigor -2 check or lose 1 Fatigue. Minor: After any physical exertion, such as Running, Climbing or Swimming, Fighting, the Hero must pass a Vigor -1 check or lose 1 Fatigue. Medically Incompatible (Major/Minor) - Mutant Only - The mutant’s physiology has deviated enough from a normal human such that human medical technology is not as effective. The Penalty does not apply when using medicine specially tailored to mutants. Minor: -1 to receive healing Major: -2 to receive healing New and Changed Edges Mr. Fix it (Page 30 SWEE) No longer requires Weird Science Power Armour Training Before the war power armour was the greatest technical achievement of the US military, turning the ordinary soldier into a walking tank. Utilising the armour however took special training. Arcane Background: Mutant Skill: Special (None) Starting Power Points: 20 Starting Powers: 1 Characters with Mutant Powers gain their abilities through Exposure to radiation, biological contaminants or other strange hazards of the waste. Normally this background can only be taken at character creation but can sometimes be taken later at the GMs discretion. Mutant powers work a little differently from most other Arcane Backgrounds—each power is its own skill and has no linked attribute (and thus counts as “lower” than its linked Attribute for purposes of Advancement). A mutant hero with the armour and bolt powers, for example, also has an Armor and a Bolt skill he uses to enable it. It’s more expensive for a character to improve his powers, but he starts with more Power Points than other arcane types so he can use his abilities more often. 3 Scavenging Characters can attempt to scavenge abandoned buildings looking for food, fuel, ammunition, trade goods, and other useful items. Scavenging is done with the investigation skill, each attempt takes 1 hour; the items found depend on the degree of success, the type of building searched, and whether or not scavengers have already stripped the building of its loot. The size of a building determines the number of scavenging attempts. The results are cumulative; if the character succeeds with 2 raises he also gets the benefits of a success and 1 raise.

Most of those have long since been opened (and plundered) but a few isolated vaults remain at least partially sealed. You grew up in one of those vaults but have for whatever reason found yourself out the world. You may be from a Vault that just recently opened, or an advanced scout from a still sealed vault exploring the surface for your people. The other less common source of pure humans in the wastes is the remnants of the Enclave. The Enclave were descendants of the pre-war military and political elite who survived the war in their own sealed sanctuaries. 40 years ago the Enclave emerged from isolation and went to war with the communities of the west coast. Eventually the Enclave were defeated and the survivors scattered to the four winds. Pure Strain Humans begin play with a Pipboy Tech Familiarity: Begin with either d6 Science or d6 Repair free.

For generations Wastelanders have struggled to survive in whatever communities they can build. After generations of living

    Races Human Adaptable (2): Start with a bonus Edge you qualify for at character creation. Ghoul Immune to Disease (1): Ghouls are immune to all diseases that impact humans. Immune to Radiation (2): As creatures born of radiation, ghouls are immune to the danger of radiation, experiencing it as a warm glow. This sense allows them to identify and locate radiation sources with a Notice roll. Radiation Healing (2): Ghouls in an area of standard background radiation (such as most of the wastes) roll natural healing rolls normally. In an area of moderate radiation, they roll a natural healing roll once per day. In an area of high radiation, they roll natural healing rolls once per hour. Ugly (-1): Most wastelanders find ghouls to be hideous creatures, and they regularly face prejudice even in the most accepting communities. They gain the Ugly hindrance. Weak (-2): The degraded body of a ghoul isn't as strong as an average human. They suffer a -1 penalty to all Strength rolls, including melee damage. Robot Construct (6): +2 to recover from being Shaken, ignore one level of wound modifiers, don't breathe, and are immune to disease and poison. Cannot heal naturally, but can be repaired by a Tech roll (ignoring the golden hour). Mods (1): Can't use cyberware, but may purchase and install robot modifications to alter their form and purpose. Environmental Weakness (Electricity, -1): Robots suffer +4 additional damage from electrical attacks, and have a -4 penalty to resist other electrical effects. Outsider Hindrance (Major, -2) Robots are considered to be property throughout the wastes, even those that have developed self-awareness over the years.

  • Wastelandwarrior
    WastelandWarrior – Massive Overhaul, from the Vault to Zeta WastelandWarrior is a massive overhaul of Fallout 3 and all DLC, including most record types, from Actor to Worldspace. It tries to fit the lore of the game, making it harder, more interesting and sometimes funny. WastelandWarrior has a lot of unique features, you don't need any bugfixing mod anymore and it's built with performance and stability in mind. You can even configure how many actors are loaded by the game, depending on your hardware. You can play it in one of the three survival modes against ultra hardcore enemies with a lot of mean effects. But you can also disable most additional enemies, free Paradise Falls and gain a working slave settlement with player house, join a caravan or order BoS groups as enforcement in some places. If you're stupid enough to get a deadly radiation, you can also play as Ghoul Reaver and recruit some Glowing Ones as compagnions(optional). There are a lot of unique encounters, new named npcs and enemies, improved places(all settlements, places of interest like the Citadel or Roosevelt Academy, caravan trader points, ...), upgraded actors like the scavenger at Pennsilvania Av), and a lot of easter eggs. You can find new weapon recipes for Spider mines and grenades, an artillery strike marker, clutter for the recipes, new books and sometimes funny surprises without any sense. There are some hardcore and maybe unfair enemies on any difficulty and survival mode settting. But I was trying to weaken the player, not to create unkillable enemies.

  • Analysing Constraint Play in Digital Games 自製工坊：分析應用於數碼遊戲中的限制性玩法
    CITY UNIVERSITY OF HONG KONG 香港城市大學 Workshops of Our Own: Analysing Constraint Play in Digital Games 自製工坊：分析應用於數碼遊戲中的限制性玩法 Submitted to School of Creative Media 創意媒體學院 In Partial Fulfilment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy 哲學博士學位 by Johnathan HARRINGTON September 2020 二零二零年九月 ABSTRACT Players are at the heart of games: games are only fully realised when players play them. Contemporary games research has acknowledged players’ importance when discussing games. Player-based research in game studies has been largely oriented either towards specific types of play, or towards analysing players as parts of games. While such approaches have their merits, they background creative traditions shared across different play. Games share players, and there is knowledge to be gleamed from analysing the methods players adopt across different games, especially when these methods are loaded with intent to make something new. In this thesis, I will argue that players design, record, and share their own play methods with other players. Through further research into the Oulipo’s potential contributions to games research, as well as a thorough analysis of current game studies texts on play as method, I will argue that the Oulipo’s concept of constraints can help us better discuss player-based design. I will argue for constraints by analysing various different types of player created play methods. I will outline a descriptive model that discusses these play methods through shared language, and analysed as a single practice with shared commonalities. By the end of this thesis, I will have shown that players’ play methods are often measured and creative.

Still, humanity clung to the world, hidden inside the Vaults -- underground bunkers designed to keep man safe from the horrors outside. Eventually they opened and the world, now turned into a hostile wasteland, was again reinhabited. Why GURPS? The biggest factor for choosing GURPS is that it’s the system that I am most familiar with. Therefore, it makes the most sense. Another reason is that Fallout was originally planned ​ ​ to use the GURPS ruleset, much like how Baulder’s Gate used the D&D ruleset.
