Tavern Watch Plays Fallout, episode 3: Deals with dinosaurs (or just big chickens)

Some days in the Wasteland, you accidentally stumble into a robot-operated dinosaur cloning facility, and then you have to make an ethical judgment on what to do with the lives of intelligent (and very polite) cloned dinosaurs and deathclaws. But being a resident of the Wasteland means being adaptable, so we’ll probably figure it out. So join us for the final episode of our actual play of the Fallout TTRPG!

GM Matt Rossi is leading our oddball crew of adventurers, so it’s really no surprise that we’ve wound up here. These are our players:

• Liz Harper as Nellie, a Miss Nannie who’s long-since moved from babysitting to robot repair… though being able to wrangle toddlers is a widely applicable skill for adventuring.
• Rob Flanagan as Fidget, a scavenger who’s making the most of life in the Wasteland, but he’s gotten a bit lost on his way back home to West Virginia.
• Eric O’Dea as Hack, a super mutant who’s the backbone of this party… and the only one who’s fought a Deathclaw before. Possibly for fun.

This is the third of a three-part actual play series of Fallout, a 2d20 game from Modipheus that does a good job of replicating the feel of the video game version. Listen to the first episode here, the second episode here, and look for new episodes of Tavern Watch every Monday! If enjoy this actual play, you can pick up your own copy of Fallout from Modipheus or check out the free quickstart for a preview of the rules.
