Re: Post-Apocalyptic Hero -- What Do *You* Want To See?
Hello Steve and hello everyone. I am new to these boards (although I lurk from time to time) and I felt like I needed to voice my opinion on this urgent matter.
I have been looking forward to a non-d20 PnP game that retains the spirit of the Fallout computer games, for a long time. In particular, I have been looking for a game that uses a semi-realistic approach to mutations without resorting to the fantastic abilities resembling comic book superpowers seen in games such as Gamma World. i.e. I love the mutant zombies, mutated giant animals, and physically enhanced humans but not so keen on "psychic ability" or "laser ray" mutations.
I must second what others have said.. that as far as obtaining the right "feel" for a post-apocalyptic setting, Fallout has done it better than anybody else and is an excellent springboard for ideas.
Furthermore, I am hoping that certain Fallout traits/advantages that would be appropriate for a post-apolcalyptic setting such as "Fast Metabolism"(offers less resistance to radiation/poison but one heals quicker) or "Drug Reliant/Resistant" have their equivalents in P-A Hero.
