Thorn Darkblade
I know lots of things. Lots of things...
The car's radio turned on, playing its soft doo-wops, relaxing. Calming. Outside the window, an idyllic scene of amber waves of grain in a farm field could be seen. A farm, cows grazing peacefully, a smiling farmer, his wife, and two kids waving cheerfully. The sky was blue, everything was perfect. Even the cows looked overjoyed, and the sun was always bright. If anything, it looked incredibly boring. Those farmers were too cheery, too excited to greet those driving by.
The warm wind blew, dusty, as always. The rear window was broken out, and the back passenger side was covered in a thick layer of dust. The music was filled with static as it played. All but one of the tires were flat. The Minnesota license plate was barely visible through the dirt caked on it. All the lights were broken out, and the windshield wipers were rusted on.
A man ducked behind the car, as gunshots whizzed by his head. He turned back around and returned fire. Two of his pursuers dropped dead, before the third scored a lucky shot on the car. It started on fire, and the man using it as cover turned to run. It blew up, but he had gotten away just in them. The blast knocked him forward, against the hard road barrier. He turned around, just in time to see the gun being brought up to his head. It was the last thing he ever saw. His blood splattered over the beautiful farm scene, over the words of the billboard that said "Welcome to Wisconsin, The Dairy State!" Off in the distance, the crumbling ruins of a city could be seen. The highway was backed up with long abandoned derelict cars. The killer simply turned away, leaving the dying corpse to bake in the sun overhead. For the nearly dead man, everything faded to black.
War.
War never changes.

Working on a homebrew Fallout RPG, using as close of a facsimile to the SPECIAL system as I can make for dice systems. It's nearly ready to go into the beta testing phase, and I'm seeing who's interested in playing and giving it a try, and some input. The setting will be the Great Midwest Commonwealth, particularly focusing on the ruins of my hometown, Milwaukee, so I can give the setting proper justice and local knowledge.
This is a beta test of my rules, so, please be willing to give input on stuff that you think needs to be added, changed or such. Also be aware that if particular builds are too cheesy or broken, the rules may in fact be modified at any time to adjust and even out the gameplay.
Any questions, comments, or interest is welcome!
