Fallout: Hawaii is a written roleplay set in the Fallout universe. It showcases a new Pacific vision of post apocolytia complete with glowing radioactive seas, nuclear volcanoes and post war Polynesian warrior societies. Oh and shotgun surfing, obviously. All the classic Fallout game mechanics from SPECIALs to VATs and Action Points are present in a form which fits written role play. Players also get to choose from unique Hawaiian themed perks in addition to favorites from past Fallout games.

Initial players (up to five people who submit their characters and get accepted first) play as members from Vault 113. They are all high school seniors preparing to take their GOAT exams. Members of Vault 113 spend much of their day in virtual reality pods where they experience a romanticized version of Hawaii plucked straight from an Elvis Presely movie. In this holographic resort paradise, programs in beautiful Polynesian forms cater to their every whim and iced cocktails are never more than an arm reach away. Vault teens attend only minimal school while in their pleasure pods but they must still take their GOAT exam at its conclusion. Maintenance duty is the rumored result of a failing grade, but the true fate of those who fail the GOAT is in fact much much worse.

This could be great. I'm interested. Are you going to be able to illustrate the areas visited? I think a lot of Fallout is the atmosphere, and environment. Something that would need to be illustrated for sure.

Glad to see interest. The more I work on the setting, factions, perks and prewar/postwar history, the more excited I get about running the game. If you want a sense for the over all feel of the setting without getting too spoiled, peruse the perk list on the discord page.

@thecatinactionMy main focus is on research and writing. My coGM is a digital artist. She made the pic in this thread as well as the discord thumbnail. I'm sure she'll produce more cool resources throughout the game. Hit her up on the discord if you want. I'm sure she'd be glad to hear such a request.

Maybe?

Sounds really cool, I just can't do pen-and-paper style mechanics in my RP.

I don't see us filling up. Even if I go over five (my limit for starting vault dweller characters), additional players can join with any number of wasteland origins.

Just to be clear we're not using dice or some restrictive rule system like that. I'm keeping the classic fallout system mainly for flavor and to give a sense of a character and their abilities. Would not be much of a fallout game without SPECIALs or Perks. RP functions pretty much like standard post by post with the addition of action points as a way to justify more heroic, extreme or unlikely undertakings for ones character.

I've got to trust the GM, said to the girl with trust issues.

Fair enough!

Check the game mechanics on the discord if you want to make sure it's not to stringent a system for ya. IMO lore and mechanics are more about restricting the GM than the players. From a player perspective I freaking hate GM-bullshit and Deus Ex Machina. The detailed lore and limited game rules are there in large part to keep me and other gms from pulling stuff out of our collective asses and adding in an element of chance that makes a setting feel more real and less contrived.

Looks fun if you're still shopping for people.

Update: Game has started, but players have yet to leave the vault. If anyone is still interested in joining, hop over to the discord. Plenty of spots left but after this weekend I probably can't allow anymore vault dwellers.
