An official Fallout pen and paper RPG has been announced

Modiphius Entertainment has announced an officially licensed Fallout pen and paper RPG using its 2d20 system (seen in the Mutant Chronicles 3rd Edition and Star Trek Adventures RPGs). The upcoming Fallout tabletop RPG is currently untitled, and won't be along until next year, but it's still good news for fans looking for a new way to enjoy the Fallout universe.

"Long-time fan, and head of roleplaying game development at Modiphius Entertainment, Sam Webb (Star Trek Adventures) will lead development of the 2d20 System version for a more in-depth tabletop roleplaying game experience," reads an email from Modiphius.

The 2d20 system is described by Modiphius as "a very cinematic action orientated system developed by lead designer Jay Little as part of the Mutant Chronicles 3rd Edition design team. The game is built around a core mechanic of rolling under an Attribute plus Skill total on two twenty sided dice. Multiple successes are possible and can be used to create the cinematic action."

"Fallout: Wasteland Warfare game designer James Sheahan is developing the roleplaying game expansion that will let you explore the desolate wasteland of the Fallout universe, fight terrifying mutated creatures and encounter the denizens who make the wasteland their home," reads the announcement on the Modiphius website.

Chris started playing PC games in the 1980s, started writing about them in the early 2000s, and (finally) started getting paid to write about them in the late 2000s. Following a few years as a regular freelancer, PC Gamer hired him in 2014, probably so he'd stop emailing them asking for more work. Chris has a love-hate relationship with survival games and an unhealthy fascination with the inner lives of NPCs. He's also a fan of offbeat simulation games, mods, and ignoring storylines in RPGs so he can make up his own.
