I'd be down for the hard cover. I've been using the 7Tv ruleset for my current Fallout games, but I'm not sure I can be bothered switching over to the new edition. That and its explicitly made for the setting, whereas this is.

How are animals integrated into games? Are Animal Colonies the only way of having them appear, or can they be selected as part of scenarios, ooh, or turn up as random encounters? Speaking of random encounters is there anything like that in the game (i.e. at points players can roll a dice and then based on a chart something happens)? Can warbands include animals/mutants?

Are there other pieces of equipment rather than just weapons and armour? I.e. radios, sunglasses, flares, different ammo types, whatever?

Heh, and what about vehicles? Rules for larger robots (i.e. 50mm base+)?

What about rules for defending settlements? Is there rules for barricading up buildings? Breaking down flimsy walls? How about mounted weapon positions?

Aye, sorry if I'm just kind of throwing a load of questions at you. I'm curious whether or not I can toss my existing system you see. From what I've seen I'm interested, so rather its just if I have to create some house rules for the odd bits and bobs.

Tsk, damn, if the rulebook were out yet as a hardcover I'd go for that. Any indication as to when the book'll be available?

Argh, still waiting on the print rules, but I think that I may attempt a game using the .pdf version in about two weeks. There was mention of a quick start version of the rules wasn't there? ...Just to save me having to print off 150 pages that is.

Update at all on the hard cover on this? Or are you still trying to find a publisher who'll replicate that authentic irradiated 200 year old paper look?

Im in on this game. going to drop a hundred and all it a day.

Atomic Café do one.

I could go on at length on the subject of Fallout minis, but...

Re: models for Super Mutants. Whilst there's a ton out there, here's what I have (all with really crap paint jobs).

Reaper:



Mantic:


Messyart also does a couple (hmn, can't find any finished ones of it):


Along with a Centaur.


And if we're going for the classics, this Floater's just greenstuff and cocktail sticks.

Maybe come Christmas I'll actually play another game of Fallout, whenever the hard rules for this eventually come out...

September's an odd time though for me considering Bolt Action's having its new release then.

Tsk, and here's me still not part of the electronic generation. :(

I guess the delay till the book comes out (um, if it isn't already...?) will do for me to play another game and then get back into the setting. My existing Post-Apocalyptic models are a bit crap looking anyway.

BrookM it may be quicker for you to go to your own work and deliver the package to yourself at this rate...
