I'm ready for zombie killin'!

I am contemplating starting up a Fallout game. It would be different from Fallout games that have come before. The players would not be coming out of a vault into the world - they would already be part of the world. In short: NO VAULT DWELLERS (unless they're "vault dwellers" in the sense that Vault City was a "vault").

I'm not sure where to set it, so if you're interested, consider these choices and PM me your vote (if you are Stan Cold, you can vote "don't run the game because I'm running one right now". That vote counts for 10.) Players will have considerable leeway in deciding what's in the area (ie, where they are from.)

Choice 1: New Mexico
Advantage: I know the area, so it'd be pretty accurate.
Disadvantage: I know the area, so it'd largely be a radioactive crater.

Choice 2: Kansas City
Advantage: Water, farms, trade, life, green.
Disadvantage: I know jack all about Kansas City.

Choice 3: New Orleans
Advantage: Fishing, sailing, rivers, deltas.
Disadvantage: Everything interesting is underwater.

People need to vote [YES] on Fallout: FB. Do it!

I'm interested.

Would we be playing normal or mutated? And if mutated, in what ways, useful, debilitating or just cosmetic?

For setting, I probably vote Louisiana first, Kansas City second, Arizona third (sorry, I'm not a big fan of deserts).

Edit --

Sorry, meant New Mexico, Third. (Not sure where I got Arizona.)

Arizona wasn't a choice. New Mexico isn't Arizona - and, quite frankly, in the Fallout world, Arizona is probably a provincial backwater, while New Mexico is probably one of the most influential and advanced States in the Union. Being the birthplace of the nuclear power that fuelled Fallout's pre-war economy wouldn't lend itself to the poor, ranching-based New Mexico we know.

Which is, of course, why it's a radioactive crater.

I voted for Kansas, but if NM wins, I'd want to play a ghoul.

I just got back from Chicago, so I might need a day to catch up on everything.

You know, I used to work in Chicago, at an old department store. I used to work in Chicago; I don't work there anymore.

Announcement: Auld Lang Syne, a limited-time freeform holiday game, is open and ready for action. Come, play, enjoy!

(Double post!)

I also wanted to mention that Auld Lang Syne is open for the entire month of December. So if you were thinking about playing but didn't want to jump in "too late," no worries -- join anytime!

Who here is up for a game of werewolves? Need at least two people to express interest before I'm willing to post signups.

I'd love to.

Going on a summer holiday. Postingness will drop, but not vanish entirely. Wish I could have played werewolves, but I don't think I'd have the time.

I take it no one cares about werewolves anymore, since no one is showing interest.

Just as well, my skills as a GM suck.

Yep, no one at all.
