I think I'm having a stroke.

Thanks! Here's a first draft of the table: d8 Roll Species Origin Tech Level Society Attitude Goal Belief 1HumanSurvivorsPrimitiveVagabondsFriendlySurvivalAthiest 2HumanSurvivorsSubsistenceRaidersCourteousSurvivalNo Official Belief...

I want to have a table so that I don't have to encounter the 727th section of the Brotherhood of Steel. To design this, I'm trying to categorize factions/settlements from FO1, 2, and VB into Species, Origin, Technology, Attitude, and Goal. Species: - Human - Ghoul - Mutant (catch all term) -...

Geez, that's a lot of d6's. Yes, that's exactly how it works! That is definitely a high end roll. The statistics table in the reference document doesn't even go pat 10 dice. Also, I didn't even think about armor giving bonuses. That's smart! In the YZE system, people can only die from a roll on...

If you crit, you roll on a table for effect (which I have broken down by body area). And at most, you could roll like 10 dice or so (5 Attribute dice + 5 skill dice + bonus gear dice), but that would be for a high level or hyper specialized character. Maybe I should make successes be on a 5 or...

I'm working on a Fallout System based on the Year Zero Engine (YZE). Players roll a pool of d6's, and 6 counts as a success. The main tension of the system comes to whether or not to re-roll dice I have two areas that I'm struggling to convert from Fallout. 1) Critical Hits: In the YZE games...

My post doesn't contribute to this discussion, but this reminds me of the opening Julius Caesar's Commentaries. "All Gaul is divided into three parts, one of which the Belgae inhabit, the Aquitani another, those who in their own language are called “Celts,” in our language “Gauls,” the third...

It's theorized to be Liberty Prime. As for Presper, I should have done Charles Ringhold (West-Tek's Head of Laser Research).

Ah, here's my secret: I have a bad memory! I thought Prime was meant for mainland China. The real change is that Prime was never meant to be used. The Enclave needed a massive reactor to power their operation for their nuclear hibernation.

Thank you both! I think I've got something. Liberty Prime was developed to break the stalemate in the Gobi campaign. The best minds of the day (Robert House, Klein from Big Mountain, Victor Presper, etc.) were brought in to develop Prime, his armaments, and his power core. Prime's power would...

Ahhhhh, that's smart. I was stuck on that point, as once you let the nuke throwing genie out of the bottle, well..... yeah.

Hell yeah. That's great! I like it! Also, Quenched should be called Fire Extinguisher.

Hoo boy, you ain't kidding. It's *rough*. Hence making Liberty Prime the end goal. All the factions want control of this giant robot to shape the world in their image. The game ends with Prime's activation, because, like Daggerfall, what the hell do you do after you turned on the ancient angry...

That's fair. I was thinking a door equivalent of the "Ayyyyyy!" perk from Van Buren; but, yeah, it's rather silly for a tabletop setting. Maybe it can be you always do maximum damage to locked doors?

I love all of this! - This is a way to bring in the shishkebab ("Sword of the Old Gods" or "Sword of Fahrenheit") - Potential Special Perks and Titles: - Ashes to Ashes: Because of your cooperation with the Order of the Fire Chief, you have learned how to use ash to hide your self from...

Yup! The original Numidium was also powered by the Heart of Lorkhan, and the Mantella was created to replace that. Since Dagoth Ur has the original power source, he can create a new Numidium from the flesh of his followers.

Brilliant! If i ever go back to Year Zero, I'll incorporate that!

Maybe! If a 1/4 page of notes counts. My current one I'm planning is on the Red River (between Texas and Oklahoma). The players will have a boat as their home base of sorts, and it allows the campaign to transition from the more familiar elements (desert, Caesar's Legion, the more expected...

I was working on a Fallout Hack for the Year Zero Engine (YZE) SRD which only has 4 attributes, Strength, Agility, Wits, and Empathy. Wanting to merge this idea with Fallout, I tweaked SPECIAL to fit this in the following ways: V = Vigor, a combination of Strength and Endurance A = Agility...

That's the real tragedy of it all! Bethesda had the opportunity to copy their own material for an interesting political angle, or go completely off the wall with it, and they chose the most boring, uninteresting way to treat it. Really, the point of all this is to highlight the potential to use...
