"Horses no longer exist", what about Giddyup Buttercups?

[@yourdad6236]

Horses aren't seen in any Fallout games but they are not extinct, there's a few mentions of them in the first few Fallout games, in Fallout 2 the Chosen One can mention drinking fermented horse milk so your story is actually set in an area where they're confirmed to be. Also night stalkers are rattlesnakes and coyotes and there was only 1 group that turns invisible and that was because they were chewing on a stealth boy. I don't want to sound nit picky but I know a lot about Fallout and I like to talk about it lol.

[@coolermussel5297]

Tell me more Mr. Lore Man. (Seriously fallout lore is cool) what's your favorite little lore bit in fallout?

[@thatguy5737]

They said in the first game that the game doesn't take place in the cannon so horses not existing is a part of their game but not a part of the cannon. It's essentially an AU

[@edie9158]

There’s a fallout comic strip and a few mentions of it in the early games. They’re depicted in weaponry in Zion Canyon by the locals there. There’s a chance that if horses survived the Great War they did not survive the 200 years preceding the newer fallout games. And may simply live on via word of mouth.

[@notsogreatjagras4314]

​@@thatguy5737 Where did you get that info? The master and the events of Fallout 1 are commonly mentioned in both Fallout 2 and New Vegas. In every game there are canon endings and non canon events but all games numeric entries plus New Vegas are all canon.

[@thatguy5737]

@@notsogreatjagras4314 My guy, I'm not talking about the video game. I'm talking about the tabletop that they're playing. Why don't you read over the comment again? "In the first game", the first session, my guy. Not the video game, but the session where they explicitly say that it's like their own version of fallout.

[@BrokeGoblin]

"I just want you to know all your stuff, that's gonna be mine. Thank you, you're quite the guy." - Doc Alabaster Probably one of the most Fallout lines I've ever heard

[@mnstrr3brn719]

I feel like the encounter with the Red Stars wasn't supposed to be funny but that was hilarious, she asked them to drop valuables and the party was not too shaken... "also leave the protectron" and in that instant the players were like "¡OH!"

[@EverlastingEclipse]

Colton immediately forgot he adds luck to all his rolls

[@CoreXion_]

I had to track this down since I felt that I missed something when I watched Ep. 03. May want to add this to the playlist to keep everything flowing nicely. I am enjoying watching you all play and it is an interesting system that you have in development. Certainly is different then what we did at Modiphius.

[@spencergoodman7090]

I just ran into this myself, was about to comment something similar

[@bradenbenson50]

As someone living in Bakersfield, I appreciate the condolences.

[@JerkyVend0r]

As someone who is a huge Fallout fan, what Jacob said was maybe a little incorrect. Junktown is geographically close to Bakersfield, but there actually IS a settlement built out the actual ruins of Bakersfield... ...and I think you would find that the living conditions of Necropolis are far worse that that of Junktown.

[@Sivanot]

So if it's 2270, the Lone Wanderer hasnt even had their 10th birthday yet lmao

[@RainyDvl]

Dunno if this was mentioned, but this stream is not currently in your Fallout: Zero channel playlist, so anyone using that has to find it manually after hearing Spencer recap stuff they never saw! (Like I did just now)

[@Spacemongerr]

2:04 start

[@quendi5557]

Loved the game, but the tragedy of the lost star creation will be remembered for all time.

[@SpeedyJuggalo]

I really feel like Huck's backstory has to be tied to Dry Rock Gulch in NukaWorld. lol

[@lincolnveldier8913]

No one going to mention Jacobs face at 7:35 😂

[@nathanlobono5818]

Describing "Alayna's" Battle related KIA as Passing Away almost made me spit out my drink.

[@MarkCherkowski]

Really enjoying this post apocalyptic TTRPG based on Fallout! I can't wait to bring this to my D&D group!

[@ChimeratAlpha]

6:55 Okay.... That Synth needs an empathy chip. XD

[@MultiSuperMarion]

Holy shit 1:12:16 what a glorious moment

[@quendi5557]

That it was.

[@IzraelGraves]

Nightstalkers are coyotes, not hyenas. Lol

[@theaceofjase1555]

Great video, and awesome ruleset ive been tweaking with it here and there and i like how the tabletop gameplay emulates Fallout to a really good degree.

[@sherpas7892]

Could share the updates you made? I’m interested in the system but don’t trust myself enough to tweak things

[@theaceofjase1555]

All of my findings will be recorded in a google doc, and released in like 2 weeks, as i am still reviewing everything, and hoping to keep the intentions of each rule true to their creators intent, so that my tweaking won't be unnecessary.

[@theaceofjase1555]

@@sherpas7892 i will make sure to send you one personally

[@sherpas7892]

@@theaceofjase1555 this sounds like a threat but I thank you

[@theaceofjase1555]

@@sherpas7892 I promise it's not. i will be posting it to a reddit forum, and since you were interested i figured you would just like one copy sent to you instead of running into it by happenstance.

[@sprazzleboltsteamgeariii569]

This is amazing, I love that you had the patience to make your own system. Any chance you will be playing with the new Modipius system? I would love to see even more of you guys playing.

[@quendi5557]

When is Jacob going to stop giving Colton cliffs, that's just asking for someone to get pushed off.

[@tarrasque8428]

You guys probably already figured this out but in the pdf it says fusion cells for the protectron shouldn't it use energy cells, and i didn't see the "fusion cells" in the ammo section so i thought it may have been a typo for the robot laser

[@Breadlantern]

1:39:43 "don't need ears just need flame"

[@NathanDrake-xg7sd]

Ayyy, love the streams ❤️

[@remraven6443]

Sacramento is a horrible waste land... Meanwhile in the Fallout universe 😂

[@DARKMATTER118]

im enjoying this more ep 2 part 2 its giving me the fallout universe vibes way more, eg explosives, factions, effects and such

[@shoganflamemasta3975]

I have not a single clue about game design so take this with a grain of salt. But having disadvantage on attack rolls for being prone doesn't make sense to me in the case of certain weapons, like a sniper rifle for example. Melee, handguns and shotguns I totally get. But for things like rifles I think it would be cool to get advantage or some bonus when firing prone.

[@pineapplealien2907]

What's the opening music?

[@ramja9107]

[@tulipassasin]

to let you know youtube are putting adds every 10 mins =[ just had some adds then paused it for awhile and then more adds youtube are money crazed!

What’s with the adverts every two minutes?

[@OnetastyJoe]

Anyone know what luck does in this RPG? Are the rules somewhere to be read?

[@kevindevita2239]

yes, the pdf is in the description, but in short, luck adds a bonus to all skills equal to half the modifier rounded down, to a maximum of +2 ( except for billy because of the perk he took)

[@JerkyVend0r]

Sounds like it's also used for a few other important things, like scavenging for loot and rolling for random encounters.

[@josephstevenson8848]

Also for events (ie Billy landing outside of the train in episode 1)

[@HiHunter777]

WTF '

[@joshwagner9519]

Why is it called episode 2 pt. 2. It's either episode 1 pt. 2 or just episode 2.

[@YarnJam]

The stream died halfway through episode 2, so this is the second part of episode 2.

[@fullmetalf4i]

@@YarnJam Thanks for this. I was confused at the start of the video when they were talking to someone in the vault but I thought when they left off episode 1 they hadn't met anyone yet inside the vault, waved it off as I watched it while on a camping trip and figured I'd missed something at the end.... Didn't realize there were 3 hours before this point that I missed...

[@sirgreedy88]

I was going to watch this, then I saw the pronoun bullshit and decided I'd probably hate it. What a joke.

[@GrimViridian]

Imagine being so angry at a few describing words, how sad

[@sirgreedy88]

@@GrimViridian It's not the words, it's the ideology that comes with it.

[@GrimViridian]

@@sirgreedy88 I mean taking the ideology of a specific part of a group and using it to describe the entire is not great either lol, most of us don't have a mental meltdown about this stuff just the negative vocal minority on the internet at usual, the negative side is almost always more vocal in any group, so your ideology isn't exactly great either, hating an entire group and not watching a damn ttrpg series because of something that 1: you're making assumptions about and 2: you can totally ignore is pretty fucking pathetic, I didn't even realize pronouns were anywhere in the vids till I saw your comment, get over yourself
