What is the general consensus on this? Is the 2d20 mechanic dogshit? Am I better off using one of the many Fallout homebrews or something like Exodus or Ashes Without Number?
>>97187838I like the 2D20 system and think this is the best entry game for introducing people to 2D20.However, as a Fallout game, it's good if you want to emulate Fallout 4 and 76 as a tabletop. If you're looking for something more like the Interplay Fallouts, you're better off with one of the other ones, yeah.
>>97187838Its dogshit. It expects you to use the game to emulate the explore-loot-craft gameplay loop of the latter fallout games. There are a lot of character mechanics tied into this. The expectation is that GMs are going to use tables to build random encounters, and give the PCs random loot that they can craft and cook into shit. This is a core system.Those encounter tables aren't included in the core book, they are in a separate 30 dollar GM kit. Aside from being a fucking stupid idea in the first place (people don't want a fallout game so they can live out the dream of looting garbage from empty houses to upgrade their guns), it's poorly implemented ON PURPOSE to force you to buy a separate product. And this is alongside of all the usual editing and layout problems that every single modipheus product has. That company should collectively speed fuck themselves with a hot chunk of rusty rebar, they are the wii-shovelware of the rpg industry.
>>97187838It's shit because it tries to emulate BETHESDA Fallout games. Just play the videogames, you'll still have a shitty time (unless you're a retard normie), but at least you won't be subjecting other people to the shitty time.
>>97187838are ANY of the Modiphius games actually good?
>>97188384Conan seems decent, but it also seems like they put a lot of effort into molding the system to really fit Conan. A lot of the mor recent output seems really bad.
>>97187838I'm surprised New Vegas didn't got any official ttrpg book considering how much of wanking this game gets
>>97188384i love conan and i like star trek
>>97188931>I'm surprised that the game the owners of the IP are constantly trying to bury doesn't get any attention.
>>97188931There is a New Vegas campaign for it, though. It’s called Royal Flush. >>97188384I like Dune a lot. Also it’s a shame Dishonored only got the core book.

>>97187838It's dog shit unless you're a retard who wants an analog equivalent of the loot and craft padding from 4 & 76.
>>97187838It does not do fallout well at all. You have to overspecialize to have your character do anything and tends to focus more on the bethesda side of things. Almost everything to get the game to even feel like an rpg, or fallout, is locked behind another product or a meta currency mechanic.>>97188384I remember hearing conan was ok.
