IC: Fallout (probably Adult, probably GURPS)

Hello, checking for interest in a Fallout game. Setting would likely be near Philadelphia. Basic idea is that the city became a huge refuge for "intelligent" ghouls, building an incredible population. As time went on the ghouls became feral, leaving the city overrun with them. Characters are attempting to work their way in and recover the huge amount of supplies that are lying unused.

1. I have never played GURPS but it seems easy enough, and is great for this setting. There is a GURPS Fallout Compilation available online that might be utilized.

2. I am not totally familiar with Fallout history but I love it. If players work with me I will work with them.

3. Focus on writing. I know that there is a quantity/quality argument, but I simply prefer bigger posts.

4. Exact setting is open to debate.

I have a GURPS:After the End game just starting up. It's set north of Spokane, and while not true to Fallout is of the same genre. PM me if interested.

New Orleans would be a great setting. I intend to mix vault dwellers with people from the surface; perhaps the dwellers need to start trading or are making a journey and need the help of surface people.

Is there a train system in N'awlins? That would have been a big element of my original idea.

In reply to Valander (msg # 7):

Mature would cover that, wouldn't it?

Adult primarily for violence, horror, the use of chems, and for attracting players who are mature enough to handle these elements. Anything erotic would be incidental and in the background, with group access for only the players interested in seeing it. I'm all about the story as a whole, and for me that includes allowing the things that people would otherwise "look away" from.

That said, if interested players are primarily set on a Mature setting I can do that instead.

New Orleans would actually be great for this story, utilizing a streetcar to get around town for trade.

I'm always concerned about where the boundary between mature and adult lays so usually err on the side of caution and see it to adult.

And any time players go off on their own, for whatever reason, they get a private thread so that would cover the adult aspect. But yea, post apocalyptic worlds are very violent and immoral.

 I live in New Orleans, and I would like to explore the possibilities of what a fallout would be in my city. I could be a stranger from there and describe what's going on. That is the biggest argument I have Against fallout 5 possibly being in New Orleans. It just wouldn't happen, we would be Atlantis. We even Bury ourdead above ground!

 Might I suggest r/falloutlore on Reddit? Great for talk about fallout possibilities and lore.

I originally was going to have Camden get wiped out entirely and change the boundaries and layout of the city. In New Orleans it would be even more pronounced. Imagine a city that is largely submerged, maybe dependant on the tides rising and falling. In this alternate world there could be more substantial flood protections that provide more solid ground. The train system would be operated by the most powerful entity in the city, it passes through every district. Nobody messes with the train because it's the only way to trade and safely travel around.

I'm thinking of really altering parts of the landscape to make it much more varied and wild.

Tentatively set as adult because it's easier to change to mature than to adult. Open for discussion at the board, no obligation necessary.
