What is your preferred method of playing a Fallout campaign?

Nothing good uses SPECIAL except the actual video games, there's far too much crunch involved.

Savage Worlds would work extremely well.

Gurps is best

How? It's no different then any of the WoD games. You have x points to put into your stats. if anything it's less complex then most point buy systems.

There's already a Savage Worlds fallout conversion. I'll upload it here in a few minutes, give me a bit.

Shit, this is the one I should have uploaded.

Combine this PDF with the Savage Worlds Deluxe rules and you've got a great Fallout game going.

I'm using a thoroughly houseruled version of Fallout PNP for my current Fallout campaign; it works pretty well, and my players seem to enjoy it.

In case you would want to try it, the main things I changed are:
>no degrees of success except for burst fire weapon attacks
>dogs and deathclaws are not player races, like it should've been in the first place
>scrapped equipment durability; weapons and armor break only under special conditions
>scrapped half the stats for vehicles
>scrapped disposition; NPC motivations are easy enough to judge on the spot and adjust to player actions
>changed weight-based inventory to item slot inventory
>rolled traps into repair, rolled throwing into melee weapons and explosives, rolled first aid and doctor into medicine

That said, I also drafted an entire doc of traits and perks because the core rulebook's perk section is full of boring shit like +5 damage with bows. I'll post it for kicks and giggles.

I also vote for Savage Worlds. It has a pretty easy to use hit location system that would fit fallout

I'll take a look at this, played a bit of Savage Worlds but had no idea there was a Fallout supplement for it.

Thanks fellas.

Definitely wanna give the PNP system a try so I'll keep all this in mind as well.

Thank you, friend.

The fallout supplement is obviously unofficial, but it worked well for the one shot I ran. My only issue with it is that the PDF seems to take enough from SW that you probably don't need the core rules to run it, but it doesn't take enough in my opinion. It's missing hit locations, the injury chart, stuff like that.

Whoops, just rechecked to make sure I was correct and I was wrong, called shots are listed at the end of the PDF.

I wouldn't call Fallout PNP exactly a homebrew since afaik it was made by original creators of FO1&2 and originally released as freebie on Fallout Tactics disc.

I know fallout one was originally going to use GURPS for the mechanics of the game. I assume it would make a good system for the first two games.

On the PC

I'm heading up to run a game of the morrow project myself.

If I ran a Fallout game I'd suggest all the PCs be athletes. It would be the S.P.E.C.I.A.L. Olympics.

The burst fire rules looked asinine to me. How do you handle them or are they just easier than they look?
