Don’t get caught blinking in the first glimpse of the sun outside your Vault. Check out the Fallout RPG starter set!

Do you enjoy a good post-apocalyptic wasteland? We all do. There’s just something comforting about figuring out how you’d survive once society collapses. Perhaps because then all you have to worry about is how you’d survive and make good caps.

No more work happy hours. No more answering questions about when or if you’re going to get married. And you’d never have to read another thinkpiece about how this is somehow your fault because you couldn’t stop buying avocado toast.

Which is what makes the Fallout RPG so delightful. It’s the wasteland adventure of your dreams. As long as your dreams include a bit of humor and a whole lot of nuclear wasteland-appropriate gear.

The Fallout RPG Starter Set – $31.69

Immerse yourself in the genre-defining setting with this introduction to the official Fallout tabletop roleplaying game. This starter set gets you playing Fallout using the 2d20 System designed and tailored for an authentic wasteland experience. Roleplay as a unique character in the familiar setting of the Commonwealth around Boston.

Trying a new RPG can be tricky. It’s an experience that almost everyone who plays has to grapple with at some point. You have to do all that reading and comprehending. And nobody will hold your hand, especially if you’re playing something other than D&D.

Fortunately, Modiphius knows what a good starter set needs. You need to read the rules, and also have a chance to use them in play. But it has to be low stakes enough that you can feel comfortable getting it wrong. But it also can’t be boring.

It’s a tricky needle to thread, for sure. But the Fallout RPG strives for this. And in the Fallout RPG starter set, you get everything you need to start playing the game, including:

  • A 56-page rulebook containing all core rules, perks, and equipment needed to explore the wasteland.
  • A 60-page quest book Once Upon a Time in the Wasteland taking your characters on an exciting quest around the nuclear-ravaged wasteland outside Boston.
  • 6 pre-generated characters to choose from, including ghouls, super mutants, and even a Mister Handy robot.
  • 2 twenty-sided dice, 1 twenty-sided hit location die, and 4 six-sided Fallout game dice.
  • 56 Nuka-Cola cap tokens for use as action points or currency.
