Fallout Game Cannon For PNP RPG

[underableedingsun]

Hello! Been running a Fallout PNP game using the D100 rules based on Van Buren, and just have been loving it. The next PNP game I run is going to also be Fallout. In it you work for the Core Region BOS, and your job is to travel East across the wasteland reuniting lost contingent BOS clan, the Midwestern, the capitol wasteland, the outcasts, along with some outlying factions (SE faction as described in FOTactics 2 info, BOS game from the Texas region). I should incorporate material from every game (1,2,3, tactics 1 & 2, BOS 1 &2, NV), whether released or not, except for FO: Extreme, as they aren't going near that region it didn't make sense to include them, though I may include the faction at some point since in that game you are anti BOS, may make a good enemy in the midwestern region.

Anyway, I would like to stay as close to Cannon as possible, but am not 100% sure what cannon is for all games.

1) FO3: Does anyone know what the cannon ending is? I was going with did not put purifier in water source, Rivet City distributes water, near total destruction of the Enclave.

2) FO:Tactics: Does anyone know what the ending was here that is Cannon. I was going to go with the Warrior destroys the Calculator, as the other endings would seem to ultimately disrupt the world balance, and we likely would have seen more of the Midwest faction in 3 and NV.

3) Who takes over the Dam in NV? I was going to go with the Courier or Mr. House.

4) Any suggestions on must visit areas for the game? I currently have about 24 missions in total, which seems a good number, but if anyone has some input I'll take it. Any advice on FO: BOS either. I haven't actually played the game, though I browsed it pretty heavily on the wiki.

5) Anything else.

Alright, thats everything, thanks for your input.

1.) Pretty sure its TLW killed themself to turn on the purifier since that was the ONLY ending until Broken Steel patched it. Also pretty sure its TLW purified the water since the game pretty much revolves around your sacrifice for your fathers dream.

3.) Never been established by Obsidian, so you can do what feels right to you.

Rather clear, that LW didn't put FEV in purifier, but the most important question is, if he destroyed Lyons' BoS? Pretty unlikely (no reasons to do it).

2) FO:Tactics: Does anyone know what the ending was here that is Cannon. I was going to go with the Warrior destroys the Calculator, as the other endings would seem to ultimately disrupt the world balance, and we likely would have seen more of the Midwest faction in 3 and NV.

It wasn't confirmed directly, but thanks to FNV/FO3 references we can say that ending is canon. No robot army. But remember, that midwestern BoS fell apart in following years, having only base and maybe some outposts around Chicago, not in few states etc.

Montana, there is some chapter of BoS.

Thanks all, that was pretty much what I had thought. I'm gonna go with no on destroying Lyons BOS, because thats likely going to be cannon, and allying the splintered factions is the drive of the game Thanks for the reminder on the Mid-west brotherhood of steel falling apart, I had forgotten that.

Hmmm, I'm gonna try and fit in Montanna somewhere. That'd actually be a good place to add The Cause from FO: Extreme.

Thanks!
