Well tabletop is an extremely powerfull media where the scale of change in the world has no limitation, you can spend 20min describing what the characters do for the next 20 years to transform the commonwealth. It's hard to give that flexibility and impact on the world when someone has to code the damn thing.

@@Bzuhl I understand that, but Bethesda has the means to have writers and coders doing their thing, with no sacrifice to coding or writing. And ultimately, it's not like I expected them to write big consequences for your actions over the course of in-game years, but I did expect them to do a 20min exercise on how the Wasteland was looking for the past 20 years and then use that to create a lived-in universe. The results in this video are really apparent, like, if FO4's wasteland was the famished winterland described in the tabletop, living based on supplies from a working railway, and with constant threat from sea mutants and religious fanatics, the game, if nothing else, would at the very least be oozing with atmosphere.

Commonwealth being completely decimated by a harsh winter and a minor war provides a lot of context for FO4.

What it doesn't explain though is, why so many settlements and shelters are so ramshackle in their construction that their inhabitants could never survive a harsh wither in them since they mostly seem to provide only limited shelter from the elements and no isolation against the cold whatsoever. Every settlement building in the Commonwealth looks like there's no winter and heating is purely optional.

Definitely Indrid Cold reference, considering Fallout 76 has Point Pleasant as a location in the game. That is the town Woodrow Derenberger encountered the grinning man with his craft in Indrid Cold's first appearance, marking the beginning of the Mothman sightings taking place the time before the bridge collapse. The mothman in Fallout 76 is tied to the Interloper so this is definitely a note-worthy connection~

The symbol IS a dead ringer for the Deathly Hallows, but it also points to the older alchemical idea of "Squaring the Circle" - that is, trying to find the true value of Pi using geometric methods. It's a task that is pretty much impossible, since Pi is infinite, but believers insist it can be done and might unlock some great secret.

Rowling claimed she invented the symbol after taking (subconscious) inspiration of a masonic symbol of a circle, inside a square, inside a triangle, inside a circle... the above mentioned "squaring a circle" emblem. I wonder how long it will be now that the book is released before Rowlings lawyers call bethesda's lawyers and say "pardon, but you certainly should of consulted with us before using that artwork"... it has been used so often in fan art, it IS possible that an artist for the book may have thought she had borrowed common imagery, but that sounds like a weak defense at best.

Another parallel to the Lovecraft story 'The Dunwich Horror' is mirrored in this adventure, when the Last Child of Atom refers to the tentacle monster at the end as the _First_ Child. In the Dunwich story, the apparent main antagonist, a disturbing freak named Wilbur Whateley, dies about halfway through when trying to get a copy of the Necronomicon from the Miskatonic University library. The librarian, an old professor at the school, begins researching Wilbur's diary, and discovers that he wasn't the only horror to crawl out of the Whateley farm: the other was a huge invisible crawling monster, which Wilbur had been trying to control with the Necronomicon. At the end, when the professor and a couple compatriots from the school finally banish the monster, the prof reveals that the monster wasn't summoned by Wilbur: it was his twin brother. The Whateleys were some pretty f***ed-up weird mammajammas.

My next ideal fallout sequel would be Fallout: Nuclear Winter, which would take you back to operation Anchorage. You would fight the Chinese prior to the bombs falling, then take shelter in a cave or something. There's a tunnel collapse or avalanche, and when you wake up, you assume the role of a ghoul and continue fighting the chinese remnant. There's more lore regarding the annex of Canada, and survival mode would include things like hypothermia and frostbite. DLC would include something like traveling the Dalton Highway to Prudhoe Bay to secure oil reserves, getting an SOS signal from a prewar fighter pilot in the Aleutian Islands, and making contact with inuit style tribesmen in Kenai Fjords

When you first get to Big Johns, the place is quite obviously only recently occupied by the SM's. We know this because there are freshly killed raiders everywhere - the raiders held the settlement just before we got there. If the Beats lived in Big John's, its likely the raiders killed them or drove them off, or perhaps the few surviving Beats became the raiders. Honestly, Jalbert Brothers disposal sounds more likely, especially considering Atomites had fairly recently moved into that place.

After reading a lot of the comments I'd like to post a theory I've not seen mention of. Whilst commonly pictured together I believe this story is closely modelled or inspired by the carcosa mythos rather than lovecratian mythos. The mention of a black star could relate to the depiction of carcosa lying under black stars where the king in yellow lies. A very cosmic horror style of entity. The speech adam gives, mentions him as a king. Which mirrors a very prominent theme of the mythos mostly explored in its main story "repairer of reputations" in which through the main characters eyes he grows obsessed with his heir to an imaginary throne of american brought on through the king in yellow play(the center of the mythos, and name of the real world compilation of stories on it by robert w. chambers) The obsession by the followers and those who eat the fruit is similar to the warping of the mind to those who read the play, and also the almost mindless slavery of others relating to the similar position of those who call upon the king in yellow. There also seems to be a lot of emphasis on yellow and gold imagery which should not be hard to see how that could be indicative of relation to a book called "the king in yellow" based on a play by the same name, with a cosmic horror entity by the same name.

I GM this system and have this book. I really want to run the pre-written adventures (but my groups have always wanted to play the stuff I’ve written). The game laid out in WoA would take MONTHS to get through. I really wish the Fallout RPG was more widely known / liked. It’s a good system, but people seem turned off because of how much it takes after Fallout 4 more than other games. Modiphius have really ramped up there releases this year for Fallout 2d20 though so hopefully there will be more promotion in future.

@@cherrybramble I cant help much with star wars high republic (i dont know much lore from there) heres some tips for DMing: Well first of all, don't be afraid to modify the rules of the TTRPG youre using. For example if youre using DND 5th edition, some of the subclasses are on the weaker side. If one of your players comes up with a character that they really wanna play and they have a weaker subclass don't be afraid to give them a bit of a nudge to make them more on par. Example is in my current campaign I play a monk. At low levels monks can do 1d4 dmg with unarmed strikes. Monks are meant to use a simple weapon like a staff or shortsword to give them more damage. But if your player is like me and wants to only use fists for thematics theyre gonna feel weaker. So my DM bumped my damage up a bit to match the other characters which use firearms. My DM also lets us take both feats (powerful unique passive traits) and stat increases at level ups instead of forcing you to pick one or the other as per the actual rules. Hold a session 0 with your friends that are gonna play. Help them set up their character sheets and gear and familiarize them with the table top system youre using if its online (i use Roll20, so teach em how it works). Set everything straight, work with everyone to make sure theres no issues or problems so by the time the real first session starts youre all good to go. Plus its a good way to get every one excited to actually play next time you all gather. When crafting your story, start with some big outlines or plot points. Then ask how will you guide or nudge your players in that direction? Its good to have an overarching plan, but a lot of DMing is playing it by ear cause you never know how your players will approach a situation. Be prepared for them to do things that might sidetrack the story. The best way to do this is Ive found is to have say, your first or second session take place in a hub area with some NPCs. Get a feel for how your players approach situations. Do they go around and question townsfolk? Do they try to sneak into bedrooms to look for documents? Do they jump to conclusions and immediately think a suspicious looking guy MUST be the the villain? Etc. The biggest thing is to give your players options. Don't force them to do one thing or it'll feel restrictive and linear. Do they go ask the local sheriff for why someone was murdered, or do they go see the victim's family? Let them decide if they go to the raided military convoy or the burned down church first? Also instead of a typical "everyone meets in a bar", be unorthodox. Mu party members met on a train heading out into the wild west and had to work together when it got robbed. You are the DM. Your job first and foremost is to make a fun experience for the players. Your job is to craft a fun and memorable experience. You DO NOT try to fight the players. You DO NOT try to put your players in situations thatll get them slaughtered. Nobody likes seeing their character they put so much love into die 3 sessions in. Take it easy with enemies and combat early on. Start off with easy encounters and ramp it up when you start to get a feel for how strong they are and how they play. Dont be afraid to nerf HP behind the scenes or fudge a roll to swing combat in the players favor if theyre getting their butts kicked. Like one of the party members cast a spell that made the ground slippery. This spell can make enemies fall down if they fail to roll high enough on a dice on their turn. Our DM said that a powerful enemy that was at 1 HP slipped and hit his head and he died upon failing his roll. This isnt supposed to happen, but its your campaign. Do whatever you want to make it enjoyable, funny, and engaging. You can even have say an NPC that can revive dead players in town if you have people unfamiliar with DND so they dont need to make lots of backup characters. I personally think a milestone level up system is better than EXP. EXP is a pain to keep track of for each character and means your characters can all be varied levels depending on how many things they kill. Milestone means you level characters up upon hitting certain points of the story or after a big fight. Its easier to keep everyone on the same playing field and helps make big victories feel more rewarding since you deem when they happen. Reward your players when they do something memorable, very funny, or impressive or after a big fight or successful investigation. DND has rules for generating powerful loot items but you as the DM decide when to reward inspiration, a special dice that can be used whenever the player wants to boost their roll on a dice once. Try to aim to give out one piece of inspiration per session. It provides a good incentive for your players to think outside the box instead of just taking the direct approach. Heroforge is an excellent free browser program that lets you design 3D models of characters for tabletops. Its a great way for your players to make a character they connect with and really want to play due to how many options there are. For reference for DND 5e, I use the site 5etools which has everything you need to know. Again IDK what system works good for star wars but I'm sure you could find a way to make star wars work in DND with some thinking. Theres also good places that have free maps to use for your TTRPGs. Lastly some people can be shy at the table. If youre doing a campaign like mine online feel free to let them role play through chat instead of saying aloud all their actions. And make sure to iron out things before they become big problems like if you have a very creepy or aggressive player that causes drama outside of the actual game. Its happened before, you can read the horror stories online. Thats all I have off the top of my head for now I might add more and reply to this comment later. I hope this helps

Now, lets say, hypothetically, that somebody once told me that the world would proceed to roll me, and made the claim that I was not, the smartest tool in the shed. Which would lead us to look at the facts and see that she was looking kind of dumb, due to the fact that she had placed her finger and her thumb, in the shape of the letter L, located on her forehead. This would mean that the years would start coming, and logically wont stop coming, that I was, hypothetically, fed to the rules, which would proceed with me hitting the ground running. Which didn’t make sense, to live for fun, in a way that your brain gets smart, yet your head gets dumb, seeing as there’s so much to do, and so much to see, so now I must pose the question, what is wrong with taking the backseat? This is due to the fact that you’ll never know if you don’t go, nor you will shine if you don’t glow. For you see, you are, at this moment, an All-Star, so get your game on, and proceed to go play, indeed, you’re an All-Star, get the show on, which would entitled you to get paid.

While the Last Son's emblem may resemble the Deathly Hollows, I think there's another origin that fits into the canon a lot better. In Fallout, the Civil Defense Administration uses a logo which is a circle bisected by the rough figure of a man and the letters C and D to either side of the man. The emblem is based off of an actual logo by the Civil Defense Authority, which is a triangle in which the letters C and D form a circle, broken only to the left of the vertical line of the D. This same vertical line in the D suggests that the triangle is actually a stylised letter A. The resulting logo looks very close to the Deathly Hollows sigil. What makes this a likely explanation is the fact that it could easily be seen as a variation or relative of the Fallout CDA's logo. When you remove the initials C and D, you're left with an unbroken triangle. This could support the theory that there were already those within the prewar CDA that had knowledge of ghoulification and embraced it. Therefore, they removed the "Civil Defense" from the logo, leaving only "Authority" or "Administration" (or... Atom). It's not uncommon for cults to adapt more widely accepted iconography to mask their presence. A notable real life example is how the worshippers of Ishtar adapted their iconography to become the cult of Isis in Ancient Greece, then adapted again when Rome adopted Christianity, adopting Mary as the newest incarnation of Ishtar, complete with slight alterations of her old titles and roles. This allowed them to continue worshipping Ishtar for thousands of years (and possibly to this day) while avoiding persecution by the dominant religions of each era. From the existing lore we have regarding the Atomite religion, paired with what we've learned in this sourcebook about the Last Son's ancestry and ties to Atom and eldrich entities, we could come up with the following theory regarding what was going on in the lab under the glowing sea: John Whateley worshipped Fallout's version of The Dreamer (keep in mind, the Elder Gods often don't get along in Lovecraft's mythos). While stationed in Boston and excavating the ancient city, he had visions of an endless cycle in which a nuclear war would wipe out the nonbelievers. He used his ties within the CDA to plant members of his cult across the country. These would eventually become the first Children of Atom, each thinking their's was the original sect, but all sharing the same dreams granted by their god. The Black Star took on the more innocuous name of "Atom" so it could be referenced more openly without suspicion. They used the triangle as an identifier of Atom, removing the C and D to symbolise a world ruled by their religion, not by government. Meanwhile, John and several of his acolytes entered cryogenic stasis, planning to awaken when their god awoke from its own slumber. Of course, this didn't happen (yet).

This is a mod that really has to be made as a mod for classic fallout. The several locations feel like they could be something to get between, yet the desolation of the wasteland would make travel a nightmare. So so many random encounters could be added. The whole amount of sidequests that could just be skipped, or all done feel like something from the original. That and all the many dungeons and firefights are all something that would be a pain to play in 3d, while as a turn based game (based on stats and dice rolls, oh it just works so well) fits this perfectly. The newer games really don't have lose conditions, where the older ones could have you lose the game by doing the wrong thing, or screw yourself out of a person or quest just by being sarcastic. Crps were originally just a computerized version of already tabletop games, so if you got a competent team of individuals on the project, you could very much turn this campaign into a classic fallout mod. Although it wouldn't have a massive playerbase, if bethesda would do something like this (either in original engine, or something new) it would be (for a large company) a tiny amount of work compared to a brand new 3d title, and would bring a ton of players back to the series, and maybe bring in new players to the original. I know this is just a pipe dream, but if bethesda did something like this, it would be awesome. Lets just hope modders of some form come along to do something with this in either the classics, or in the modern games.

I wish I could answer this, but I feel like it was just a choice, so all the animations involving hands could, kind of, be used by everyone. And look and work the same, more or less.

The triangle symbol, also could be referring to the concept of the philosopher stone. Maybe to show the connection between elderitch lore, and alchemy. The two concepts tend to cross over frequently in modern media. Probably bc both concepts have a lot of connection to the unknown, and the price that comes with looking for it.

As someone currently playing the ttrpg with a few friends, just one warning about the system. It can get confusing at times, and you'll need to either memorize how the special dice are patterned, share them, or have a cheat sheet because a lot of the stuff that isn't 2d20 related use the special dice. Also, the rules are a little dodgy at times. We're still trying to figure out how looting works.

the "black star that dreams beneath" might be a reference to the black hole at the center of the milky way galaxy, which in lovecraft's works is said to be a manifestation of Azathoth, the oldest and most powerful of the Lovecraftian gods who is also the father or ancestor to all the other gods. it's also known as "The Idiot God" because his behavior doesn't exhibit particularly high intelligence, to put it mildly. to my imperfect knowledge, "black star" is today a synonym for black holes, and was the term used back when they were theorized, before black holes were discovered to be real.

hey Nate, this is a tiny detail for skyrim. There are the four strongholds that are known to be orc strongholds, and as you mention cracked tusk keep is one, due to there only being orc bandits and orcish architecture. I would like to make the argument that the bandit camp named Bilegulch mine has the same orcish architecture as cracked tusk keep, and also has only orc bandits, hope this helps you in one of your ten tiny details videos.

Fallout 4 is a game quite grand, Set in a post-apocalyptic land. You play as a survivor on a quest, To find your loved ones and do your best. You'll face danger and make allies too, And explore the wasteland, both old and new. With RPG elements and a shooter feel, Fallout 4 is a game with quite the appeal!
