#winter of atom

[findher-ogg]

Even if you have zero interest in tabletop stuff I think every fallout fan should read the Winter of Atom sourcebook because the fucking. New settlements? New characters? New everything in there is so good and interesting and does way more with what Fallout 4 puts down than it ever could. There's a hippie commune called Beatsville with a radio host who's literally if you mixed Benny and Three Dog into one guy. It's awesome.

What is your favorite random piece of Fallout lore?

Maypole the 30 foot glowing ghoul boss was cut from fallout 4 due to rig limitations. She was later canonized in the Winter of Atom tabletop dlc. She's Mother Isolde's daughter Dawn, and how she came to be Maypole is very very sad.

Deer for gentle spirituality, Black sheep for outcast vulnerability. Both representing innocence.

I love the concept of huge ghouls so naturally I love Sister Dawn.

{{Adding to the idea development series for my Mr.House redesign, im just going to dub 'Haunted House'-

Anyone read through the 'Winter of Atom' module for the tabletop fallout RPG? Cause brother, there was some fuck shit going on with both Vault-Tec and Rob-Co somehow even more concerning than what we've learned through the games and Amazon series.

And I don't care how dubious the canonical implications of that are, I'm using it.}}

i wonder what happened here... did they deliberately foreshadow this thing? or is the third design just based on the previous two

Pictured: A group of Wastelanders battling a Gigapede.

Introduced in the Winter of Atom expansion for Fallout: The Roleplaying Game, Gigapedes are heavily mutated centipedes that have an armored carapace and can burrow deep underground. They are intelligent and can be tamed.

You can read more about these creatures here.

Taming the Gigapede. If the PCs managed to tame the creature using American Sign Language, they can direct it away from vulnerable people to a natural abode. The creature is intelligent, philosophical, and even affectionate to those it trusts. However, it still loves the Last Son of Atom and is unwilling to betray him.  Keeping the gigapede fed and healthy becomes an immediate issue. Without a massive source of radioactive meat to eat, the monster’s scales grey, and it becomes sickly. It will not survive until spring without significant investment. Going out of their way to help the gigapede may cause the PCs to lose trust with settlements.

please let these fucking lunatics make fallout 5
