Amazon Prime is running Fallout right now and that’s a new show based on the computer game series.
I’m excited to watch it, especially as it is rating and reviewing quite well so far, with The Guardian’s Lucy Mangan calling it an “absolute blast“.
Fallout is also a tabletop roleplaying game, and the ebook giant DriveThruRPG is having a Fallout TTRPG sale right now.
There are three books in the sale, there’s 33% off plus some freebies! In the offer there’s;
- The Fallout Starter Set – this is your intro for the game, designed for people who curious about it.
- The Fallout core rulebook – this is the full game, suitable for people who don’t need or already have the starter. It’s 438 pages of content and uses Modiphius’ 2d20 system. If you know D&D’s 5e then you’ll learn this quickly.
- Supporting both there’s also the Fallout – Gamemaster’s Toolkit – and this helps the people running the game to run the game!
