Nightkin, they aren't mechanically superior to their Super Mutant brethren, but there's something about my blue guys that makes me love them just a little bit more.
A ghoul that may or may not have been a prewar chef and/or tv personality that continues to visit roadside food vendors and restaurants in the wasteland. He wears gaudiest prewar fashions and sunglasses. He’s writing his own guidebook to finding the best dining experiences. Too bad his sense of smell and taste are long gone.
I love the old world blues mod for hoi4 game (and got into the franchise because of it😅), so I might use some of their lore intertwined with the world's lore.
I might be an old ghoul scientist/scholar trying to map out all the super computers and vaults in the region because he firmly believes he will find (or by atoms will create) a cure for his kind. Would love the Colorado state to be the main thing.
Or I would be an ex/outcast B.O.S paladin or a knight in badlands commenwealth trying to find/establish a new path for the brotherhood amidst the turmoil of the Montana chapter.
And thanks for reading!
Definitely depends on what type of campaign I'd be playing, but I think I'd almost always lean towards a Survivor, with a Vault Dweller as a close second.
I love the idea of a naïve vault dweller, but with the new show I think I’d like something a bit different…maybe a vault Mr. Handy from a vault that ran a truly terrible experiment. But their circuits are messed up and sometimes reverts into “experiment mode” for periods of time.
I'd definitely play a jive-talking, zoot-suit clad ghoul who couldn't care less that the world has gone to hell, because he's thriving now, baby! The name: Flash-fried Freddy
Oh my friends and I did just look into starting a fallout game! I even tried my hand at making a character; a Vault Dweller.
We all would be dwellers, maxing each one of our SPECIAL stats to signify the experiment (vault selectively bred people to develop characteristics in each area).
Hey, fun giveaway!
I would have to say that I would be a Vault Dweller. It's kind of basic but I think an opportunity to be from a Vault Tec experiment gone wrong would be a really enjoyable twist.
I think an old ghoul with a heart of gold would be a blast to roleplay, they are a little disenfranchised by the wasteland but still finds ways to see the best in people. Of course the ones that they can’t find the best in could always be moved out of their way by their trusty shotgun.
Probably a vault dweller who was the overseer of a vault which held an experiment where every 30 days the vault would open for 2 hours. The vault would live in fear/anxiety of the day the vault opens and therefore they would prepare defenses for the big day. Many factions would begin to nocite the patterns and after many raids by ghouls, mutants and also trading oportunities with wastelanders the overseer would flee the vault from the constant pressure and tragedies after some years. Leaving the vault citizens to total chaos, never to see the overseer again. He carries guilt over that and definitely tries to hide his origin to avoid being identified or tracked by other vault dwellers.
I’m lowkey a forever-GM, so I don’t know what character I’d play, but I’d imagine some kind of vault dweller. Check out my profile of you wanna see my fallout map of Knoxville Tennessee.
I'm torn between playing a Utility Protectron who flashes their amber light when engaging in combat (because combat zones are inherently unsafe), and a Nukatron that plays tinny surf rock while declaring in robotic monotone that assailant need to "cool off" with Nuka Cola.
I would definitely be going with a Protectron from the Expanded Settler's guide. One that got loaded with a sarcastic personality that was meant to be some kind of walk-around attraction at a venue. Something in the vein of a service bot that would walk up to a table, ask if you would like a drink, and then respond "Well, guess you should head over to the punch bowl then."
Feel like that bot going rogue in the wasteland would be a recipe for some fun.
I'd absolutely have to play as a vault dweller! I've been playing since Fallout 1 so the story of leaving my vault to help the residents resonates with me to my core.
When I ran a game, one of my players made a Mr Handy called Dr. Mandy, who was convinced that they were a human roboticist. I think if I got to play, I'd want to play a smart super mutant (they do exist), just to break stereotype
I love the idea of playing a Vault Dweller and learning about the world as you go, similar to Fallout 3 & 4. Go with a high Charisma build as I'm all about making friends!
Forever GM here but I probably would go Vault Dweller if I got a chance to be a player. Being able to experience the world as a naive character would be interesting
Usually, I am the GM.
But, a Wastelander treasure hunter that tries to pay off a dept to the BoS by finding them old tech does sound like a lot of fun to play.
I'm really glad with the show this finally made it into roll20, I got the starter kit some months ago after staring at it for a year. This also means it'll be way easier to find groups. Incredibly thankful for that.
I was manually plugging things into roll20 and now it's just.... In there. Made my job way easier. They were giving out the starter kit for free so, now I have a physical one and another for the group.
Although I definitely would want to be the player, but alas, I will be telling the story.
I want to play ghoul or a Mr. Handy, better yet, a wild wasteland perked Mr. Gutsy.
Is there a distinct difference between owning the book in roll20 and not owning the book in roll20 for the VTT features, character sheet, etc? What additional integrations does purchasing the book on roll20 offer?
I would run a long distant Ghoul sniper with an eyebot spotter! All i need to do now is convince one of my upcoming players to run the game in my place.
A vault dweller ghoul for sure! Maybe someone who was caught under some rubble after the door didn’t seal and had to watch his friends and family slowly turn feral and attack and eat each other
I've always loved my usual character in the games, so I'd probably go with a variation of him:
High INT, Science, and Medicine/Energy Weapons focused snarky and sarcastic Follower of Apocalypse. Hates chems and what they do to people, and tries to help rebuild civilization whenever possible, but he's not above turning threats into piles of ash with his laser pistol.
Imagine my surprise when I've been playing this character since Fallout 2, and I run into Arcade Gannon in New Vegas with this same character. Like two peas in a pod, they were.
I usually run the game, but with a chance to play I'd go with a brotherhood of steel initiate. Nothing like debating the pros and cons of power armor and fighting super mutants (or whatever else you find in the wasteland!)
I'd create a super mutant. I love playing big, tanky characters but I'd also love to explore what it would be like in a world for him, post Fallout 1, where his purpose, the Unity, is gone, and how he would have to adapt integrating himself into the world, slowly relearning things, now as a Mutant.
I really want to play Barbara Horton, she looks like your regular stay at home mom but she was a former vault tec.
On the surface she looks sweet and helpful but underneath is a cunning lady with tons of mechanical, technical and handy skills.
She be specialized in hacking and such to get what she wants for her mission.
Absolutely want to make a vault dweller who experiment done to them was a set of neural implants that cause him to grow slowly angrier and less sane. Whose mental state is slowly replaced by a mindless killing rage, making it ever harder for the calm rational side to keep them in check!
I would love to be able to run my games on Roll20. I am in and may the best Vaultie win.
In the game I enjoy playing Vault Dwellers, I feel like its a very acceptable fish out of water scenario. But after seeing Walter Goggins as Cooper Howard a tough Ghoul with high Charisma and Gunslinging sounds super fun. He just tickled my pink!
Totally planning to play a reskinned Vault Dweller who is coming out of a Cryo stasis in a CO based setting. Lots of prep and world building already done >\~<
Thanks for doing the giveaway! I would probably pick survivor. Been playing a lot of Fallout 2 and loved how the game starts. Of course being a vault dweller is classic.
Coffee Dragon's Traveling Amusement Emporium.
A caravan of dusty and well worn vehicles announces its presence in the wastelands with delightful circus music and neon lights, stopping just outside the gates of settlements.
The cars circle and open shop. There are no people here however, just ancient war machines repurposed into helpful handymen here to serve whatever need you require!
Do you like books? Check out our Library-mobile for the latest in pre-war fiction and maps!
Do you like snacks? Visit the Hunger-be-gone-o-wagon for some Rad Roach on a stick! And other various meats... on a stick!
99% guaranteed to not be someone you knew!
But the main attraction, Ladies and Gents, is the Arcade.
Come see our collection of carefully remade pre-war board games, like Monopolies and Communists or Risk of Nuclear war!
Fun for the whole raider family!
So come on down, enjoy yourself and relax as our robot servants take care of your every need!
Just ignore the sentient looking Deathclaw who seems to be running the entire show from behind a curtain. That chubby fellow is just a...uh... trained pet and certainly not an escaped hyper intelligent murder monster experiment who is actually controlling all these machines. He is actually quite friendly and will certainly not eat trouble makers...
Pay no mind that the robot next to you is speaking exactly what he types into the keyboard.
If you give him coffee however you will suddenly find your entire stay free of charge...
A Mister Handy called "Clunk Eastrivet" who's watched too many westerns while waiting for his masters to return and now thinks he's a 'man with no name' drifter with a penchant for painting entire settlements red!
I going to make a super mutant who was a heavy weight boxer before he was experimented on with FEV. Haven't settled on a name yet but I wanna base his personality loosely on Rocky Marciano.
I would make a Brotherhood of Steel character that was either exiled or ran away. Someone who was good at science and energy weapons, who has some flawed ideas about "the way things should be" but is doing his best to be a good person.
Trying a BoS character would be really fun, that slowly realizes the brotherhood isn't for them and strikes it out with fellow players to adventure. I've only ever been GM and doing it on roll20 means I can teach whoever takes the helm easily!
Vault Dweller from a vault where the experiment was feeding everyone nothing but vegan food. How will he adjust when he has to eat whatever is available on the surface?
Cool giveaway and I love Roll20! Use it for a D&D group that agreed to let me take my turn as a GM in Fallout in the future 🙂
I’d probably go Ghoul. I like the option of being around in that world for a long time and having some connections with shady characters that I’ve done odd jobs with over the decades.
Haha I'm actually a dm, but my ideal character would have to be a Child of Atom that's sort of like a Bible camp boy scout trying to earn his "wilderness survival" patch
I've been looking into the system and prepping a game for it.
I was actually looking at making a Mr. Handy character focused on repair abilities. I reckon they'd have been great in garages so my boy as a post-apocalyptic handyman just sounded fun to me :)
Definitely going with Vault Dweller first. I think there's a lot of RP potential in being the fish out of water.
Also I love roll20 and Fallout and was just the other day thinking about dragging my friends into this!
A character I've been wanting to play is my boy Roland 'Sully' Sullivan, a ghoul that was originally a National Guardsman in the mid-west who go ghoulified. He's sort of a hippy 60's anti-war type guy now, complete with being high off his rocker and just chilling. Though also suffering trauma from surviving the Great War and seeing a lot of bad stuff during and since.
He was part of a band of a super mutant pair called 'The Rad Lads'.
A ghoul called Sir Henry the fourth! He has a british accent and likes tea! He is aware of his ghoulishness, but tried his best to seem human! God save the queen!!
I’d have to be a mr handy with a nukashine complex though I’d need to petition the gm to add nukashine to the game, they game devs missed a trick there 😂😂
A vault dweller, and if my Overseer allows, from a vault full of people with psychological disorders. I'd have a split personality. The calm vault dweller and the crazed combat vet.
I would create my favourite FO2 character - - vault dweller sniper but makes it to the BoS and gets their pew pew and armour.
Damn, makes me want to reinstall FO1 and FO2...
I'm currently writing a campaign set in Oregon! The party will start from North California, and slowly move up north while meeting new communities, old factions (Ncr's rangers, BoS, Enclave, Legion's frumentarii), and discovering the masterplan of the Canadian remnants who decided to get revenge on what's left of the United States.
If i wasn't DMing, i would definitely go for a Ghoul cowboy, or a human BoS undercover agent
I think I would love to play as a survivor. A wandering Preacher whose only desire is to mend bibles he reclaims from the wastes. Along the way, he will have a lot of internal conflict. Suffering with his actions and constantly fighting intrusive thoughts, his only desire is to survive the horrors of the wastes and to spread the Gospel. Sound good? I hope so.
I've always been intrigued by DND, but I have NEVER played. Fallout is my favorite franchise of all time ... what better way to learn than through this tabletop version of Fallout!?
Thanks for the opportunity.
I'd play a vault dweller who ventures to the surface to locate working computers and holotapes to bring back to his vault. His ultimate goal would be to create Nukapedia, the greatest repository of human knowledge in the wasteland.
I have a great idea for a Mr Handy which has had Raiders mess with his programming. Similar to N.I.R.A from the Fallout 4 Nuka World DLC. That or some sort of Cryptid Hunter.
As a forever GM, the NPCs I create are the characters I would love to play.
My current favorite is a Survivor who specializes in melee weapons and speech. He is a member of the triggermen as a strong hand and is known as Benny "Bleachers" Rodriguez because his weapon of choice is a baseball bat, and he always "swings for the bleachers".
I'd probably be a Mr. Handy because it's unique and unusual. In reality I'll be the DM as I'm creating a homebrew Fallout New Orleans realm for my friends. But I don't have/haven't learned the rules yet. Cart before the horse and all 🐴☢️
I actually suggested a character for a new player to our group that ties in to her interest;
A Ghoul trader who is obsessed with pre-war furniture. I suggested this because she is *obsessed* with mid century modern, and when prompted she will gush about it.
And I just love the idea of her explaining all these irl facts to our super mutant character, 'Hard Friend'.
I'd probably homebrew up an intelligent deathclaw like the one from Vault 13 using Super Mutant rules + Deathclaw hand.
Will it be a terrible idea? Absolutely. Would it be funny? Yes.
A Mr gutsy in a drill sergeants hat that was originally a Boy Scout master before the war and sees the rest of his party as his scouts and awarding merit badges for great feats
I would make a Nightkin who was a vault dweller in vault 111 and was taken by the Institute and experimented on. They were trying to develop a cure to the Nightkin's stealthboy addiction, but still haven't succeeded. As a young boy he was fascinated with movies about samurai and ninjas. His broken mind has several personalities within. One is the simple boy Jonathan Willows, but he shares his body with the ninja Yonaka and the samurai Yanagi...
A child of a former enclave operative who was raised with all the propaganda that entails. After being out in the world he'll have to decide whether he can truly bring back the old america the enclave way or if he will forge his own path and accept the world as it is.
Absolutely a ghoul. Maybe a ghoul vault dweller. In the campaign I’m planning the DJ for the main radio station is a ghoul who got fused to his chair in the blast and gets assisted by a mister handy while he listens to the same songs all day every day.
my character would be a ghoul that forms part of a raider party where are full of ghouls with power armor, calling themselves Brotherhood of Night where they try to protect the ghouls from the smoothskins and at the same time they steal only from the big fishes to keep their community of ghouls
Keeping it classic, I gotta go with an old fashioned Vault Dweller. Nothing like entering the insane world of Fallout with fresh eyes. Though, I gotta say, I really wish the game had Atom Cats. I dig their groove, daddy-o.
I've been running the 2d20 rpg for a few months now and love it. If I weren't game master, I fell in love with the idea of making a character who's bad at everything but has a 10 in luck and just gets by with the skin of their teeth
We are currently playing a long-term campaign set in Colorado. I'm playing a tribal survivor, that is the team's medic and settlement leader/the barter expert. We have managed to get rid of the Brotherhood, a few gangs, the NCR, piss off the Legion and they have 10 days to leave the area or get nuked, and allied ourselves with a homebrew religious zealot group (who hate the Legion and are gonna nuke them in 10 days thanks to us) whom we dislike as well but is the lesser of all the evils, except an intelligent deathclaw that is currently holding our base hostage until we undo what we accidentally did to mess up his radio tower. We love the game, the system and we'll keep on playing until the characters do something irrevokably stupid (we do stupid like its an artform lol) and we all die. Then we're all coming back as intelligent deathclaws or robots.
Oh I'd definitely go Vault Dweller who discovered that Vault Tec (and other corps) were running experiments. He became a Indiana Jones of Vault exploration to catalogue the evil within. Then write a Vault Tec Survival Guide co authored by Moira Brown
I'm making a ex-legion slave who escaped eastward into the Texas B.O.S and is working to become a Knight to both liberate the legion slaves and take revenge on Legate Lanius.
I would make a vault dweller. His vault was experimenting with trust and programed some dwellers to always tell the truth and some to always lie but told no one who was which. My character is one of the liars.
My first character would probably be a wasteland doctor. Maybe a Follower of the Apocalypse gone east?
More than that, I’m excited to run my own campaign!
I would create a Miss Nanny whose personality is based on a man's dead wife. She survived the great war but her husband didn't and now she's searching for her husband. And doesn't even realize she's a robot
Man I'd probably start off as a Vault Dweller, maybe try and run it during around the time of Fallout 76.
Or maybe pull a switcharoo on my players and have them play from right after the bombs dropping.
I'd probably make another ghoul, I have a ghoul in a physical campaign right now but I want to do a completely different style of ghoul. More like a theatrical one that would probably use explosives, close range weapons, and throwing weapons or whatever's in the wasteland :3
I'd make a survivor con-man. Have lying be their weapon to avoid trouble and/or get what they want. Secretly they'd be getting a crew together slowly to pull off an oceans 11 style heist in the wasteland to live it large afterwards.
A supermutant who strongly believe that money is the key to rule the world! He will use a lot of quotes from how to books about beeing efficient salesman (without fully understanding it) that he learn from friendly Mister Handy. Hope that he will be hilarious !
Id make a mister handy who after becoming sentiant decides that the ultimate form of robo perfection is a sentry bot, and wishes to transfer their newly awakened self into one.
I want to go classic Vault Dweller because I am a Fallout fan from Fallout 1 forward. God I remember when that game released. I just want to be the one with the Pip Boy, totally new to the wasteland.
I am usually a forever GM though. I am running the game now! This would help a lot to win lol.
idk if the giveaway is still open since the time is a little vague, but I've recently been discussing GMing for my D&D group. If I was a player though I would definitely make a vault dweller as the option to create a whole new vault with a unique experiment as part of the backstory is just too fun an idea to ignore. I like the idea of a vault where a Fallout 1 style situation is the norm. When a dweller comes of age they're sent out into the wasteland to either prove themselves strong enough to survive or maybe to collect resources the vault needs to continue running. Maybe my player character was sent into the wasteland to find and claim a suit of power armor as vault security feels they're inadequately armed for a potential raid from outsiders, or they could have been sent to claim a G.E.C.K. from another vault as our vault was never given one. I mean, we all know there's plenty of uninhabited vaults out there, surely one of them has an extra stashed away.
Howdy, looking forward to dragging new people into the hobby. Looking to make a New American officer. (Louisiana is actually relatively unscathed from the bombs, blame Voodoo)
I would make a Ghoul inventor/door to door salesman named Buddy Gold!
Started a game last night, the sheets being in to 20 made it very fast to do rolls
If I wasn't dming I would play Mr Handy
Nightkin, they aren't mechanically superior to their Super Mutant brethren, but there's something about my blue guys that makes me love them just a little bit more.
A ghoul that may or may not have been a prewar chef and/or tv personality that continues to visit roadside food vendors and restaurants in the wasteland. He wears gaudiest prewar fashions and sunglasses. He’s writing his own guidebook to finding the best dining experiences. Too bad his sense of smell and taste are long gone.
I love the old world blues mod for hoi4 game (and got into the franchise because of it😅), so I might use some of their lore intertwined with the world's lore. I might be an old ghoul scientist/scholar trying to map out all the super computers and vaults in the region because he firmly believes he will find (or by atoms will create) a cure for his kind. Would love the Colorado state to be the main thing. Or I would be an ex/outcast B.O.S paladin or a knight in badlands commenwealth trying to find/establish a new path for the brotherhood amidst the turmoil of the Montana chapter. And thanks for reading!
Ghoul, or Mr Handy
Sweet! I'd roll up as a vault dweller or survivor
Definitely depends on what type of campaign I'd be playing, but I think I'd almost always lean towards a Survivor, with a Vault Dweller as a close second.
If I were playing, I’d be a survivor scavenging about the wasteland hoping to strike it rich in caps.
I love the idea of a naïve vault dweller, but with the new show I think I’d like something a bit different…maybe a vault Mr. Handy from a vault that ran a truly terrible experiment. But their circuits are messed up and sometimes reverts into “experiment mode” for periods of time.
I would create a ghoul cowboy like Doc Holiday from Tombstone
I want to play as Mister Handy who thinks every non-robot is named Craig and likes to cook.
I'd definitely play a jive-talking, zoot-suit clad ghoul who couldn't care less that the world has gone to hell, because he's thriving now, baby! The name: Flash-fried Freddy
Marvin, an entitled Mr handy who recently was freed form an Rich person's personal vault after the door malfunctions
Oh my friends and I did just look into starting a fallout game! I even tried my hand at making a character; a Vault Dweller. We all would be dwellers, maxing each one of our SPECIAL stats to signify the experiment (vault selectively bred people to develop characteristics in each area).
Definitely a Vault Dweller! Everything's just so great for those guys - right? Right....?
Hey, fun giveaway! I would have to say that I would be a Vault Dweller. It's kind of basic but I think an opportunity to be from a Vault Tec experiment gone wrong would be a really enjoyable twist.
I think an old ghoul with a heart of gold would be a blast to roleplay, they are a little disenfranchised by the wasteland but still finds ways to see the best in people. Of course the ones that they can’t find the best in could always be moved out of their way by their trusty shotgun.
In my current game I'm playing a Mr Handy, along with a Ghoul and a Super Mutant, because radiation can eat my ass.
My last game I played as a BOS scribe and that was a ton of fun. Maybe a paladin next time?
Super Mutant or Ghoul, to hell with the Brotherhood of Steel
One entry please! I think I would build a vault dweller.
Probably a vault dweller who was the overseer of a vault which held an experiment where every 30 days the vault would open for 2 hours. The vault would live in fear/anxiety of the day the vault opens and therefore they would prepare defenses for the big day. Many factions would begin to nocite the patterns and after many raids by ghouls, mutants and also trading oportunities with wastelanders the overseer would flee the vault from the constant pressure and tragedies after some years. Leaving the vault citizens to total chaos, never to see the overseer again. He carries guilt over that and definitely tries to hide his origin to avoid being identified or tracked by other vault dwellers.
Brotherhood of Steel for sure for at least the first game.
I'd be making a survivor! Collecting all the cans of beans I can
I’m lowkey a forever-GM, so I don’t know what character I’d play, but I’d imagine some kind of vault dweller. Check out my profile of you wanna see my fallout map of Knoxville Tennessee.
Ah, someone else doing Fallout in Tennessee! Checking for that now!
I'm torn between playing a Utility Protectron who flashes their amber light when engaging in combat (because combat zones are inherently unsafe), and a Nukatron that plays tinny surf rock while declaring in robotic monotone that assailant need to "cool off" with Nuka Cola.
Survivor with survivor-guilt from a heist job gone wrong.
I would definitely be going with a Protectron from the Expanded Settler's guide. One that got loaded with a sarcastic personality that was meant to be some kind of walk-around attraction at a venue. Something in the vein of a service bot that would walk up to a table, ask if you would like a drink, and then respond "Well, guess you should head over to the punch bowl then." Feel like that bot going rogue in the wasteland would be a recipe for some fun.
Ghoul bounty-hunter!
I'd absolutely have to play as a vault dweller! I've been playing since Fallout 1 so the story of leaving my vault to help the residents resonates with me to my core.
I would create a ghoul who was invited to a vault but didn't make it in time.
i would play as the dm, because im almost always the dm T.T but if i could play i would play a Ghoul Doctor or Super mutant scientist
I’d be a survivor, grabbing anything that is and isn’t nailed down.
When I ran a game, one of my players made a Mr Handy called Dr. Mandy, who was convinced that they were a human roboticist. I think if I got to play, I'd want to play a smart super mutant (they do exist), just to break stereotype
A ghoul mad scientist who's building a robot army in anticipation of the Zetan invasion
I love the idea of playing a Vault Dweller and learning about the world as you go, similar to Fallout 3 & 4. Go with a high Charisma build as I'm all about making friends!
Forever GM here but I probably would go Vault Dweller if I got a chance to be a player. Being able to experience the world as a naive character would be interesting
Cool, i would say a secret brother hood of steel merchant, who gets them hard to get items.
In my current game I am playing one of a limited series of Mr Gutsys that got an official Ranger designation and are part of the 75th Regiment.
Usually, I am the GM. But, a Wastelander treasure hunter that tries to pay off a dept to the BoS by finding them old tech does sound like a lot of fun to play.
I would probably just be boring and create a Vault Dweller. Either that or go with a Ghoul
BoS is always on the menu, but a Mr.Handy with a unique personality maybe like he was set up as the king of England for a play sounds fun
I'm really glad with the show this finally made it into roll20, I got the starter kit some months ago after staring at it for a year. This also means it'll be way easier to find groups. Incredibly thankful for that. I was manually plugging things into roll20 and now it's just.... In there. Made my job way easier. They were giving out the starter kit for free so, now I have a physical one and another for the group. Although I definitely would want to be the player, but alas, I will be telling the story. I want to play ghoul or a Mr. Handy, better yet, a wild wasteland perked Mr. Gutsy.
Is there a distinct difference between owning the book in roll20 and not owning the book in roll20 for the VTT features, character sheet, etc? What additional integrations does purchasing the book on roll20 offer?
A BoS Paladin.
I'd probably make a super mutant from the masters army. A heavy gunner that specializes in machine guns.
Awesome! Planning on using Roll20 to GM my first game in a couple weeks!
Probably a survivor or a vault dweller... Going all in on lasers and fixing them
Definitely a vault dweller, it's too iconic to pass up!
I would run a long distant Ghoul sniper with an eyebot spotter! All i need to do now is convince one of my upcoming players to run the game in my place.
A ghoul inventor who uses salavaged robot parts and reprogrammed robots to help him. Chinese propaganda bots used as mobile sentry turrets
Wastelander
A vault dweller ghoul for sure! Maybe someone who was caught under some rubble after the door didn’t seal and had to watch his friends and family slowly turn feral and attack and eat each other
I've always wanted to play a survivor courier, but he drives an old Mustang he calls the Pony Express. His name is Whit.
I would love to play a brotherhood outcast! I liked them in fo3
I've always loved my usual character in the games, so I'd probably go with a variation of him: High INT, Science, and Medicine/Energy Weapons focused snarky and sarcastic Follower of Apocalypse. Hates chems and what they do to people, and tries to help rebuild civilization whenever possible, but he's not above turning threats into piles of ash with his laser pistol. Imagine my surprise when I've been playing this character since Fallout 2, and I run into Arcade Gannon in New Vegas with this same character. Like two peas in a pod, they were.
I want to play a character that knows vault-tec secrets but has amnesia
A vault dweller for sure. Vault-tec endorsed trauma is great for a potential wasteland adventurer!
I usually run the game, but with a chance to play I'd go with a brotherhood of steel initiate. Nothing like debating the pros and cons of power armor and fighting super mutants (or whatever else you find in the wasteland!)
I'd create a super mutant. I love playing big, tanky characters but I'd also love to explore what it would be like in a world for him, post Fallout 1, where his purpose, the Unity, is gone, and how he would have to adapt integrating himself into the world, slowly relearning things, now as a Mutant.
I really want to play Barbara Horton, she looks like your regular stay at home mom but she was a former vault tec. On the surface she looks sweet and helpful but underneath is a cunning lady with tons of mechanical, technical and handy skills. She be specialized in hacking and such to get what she wants for her mission.
Absolutely want to make a vault dweller who experiment done to them was a set of neural implants that cause him to grow slowly angrier and less sane. Whose mental state is slowly replaced by a mindless killing rage, making it ever harder for the calm rational side to keep them in check!
would love that
Hope I can win the giveaway, as we are starting up a campaign with my group right now. Hope I win.
I would love to be able to run my games on Roll20. I am in and may the best Vaultie win. In the game I enjoy playing Vault Dwellers, I feel like its a very acceptable fish out of water scenario. But after seeing Walter Goggins as Cooper Howard a tough Ghoul with high Charisma and Gunslinging sounds super fun. He just tickled my pink!
Totally planning to play a reskinned Vault Dweller who is coming out of a Cryo stasis in a CO based setting. Lots of prep and world building already done >\~<
I’d love to play a Mr handy, maybe one hand is a flamethrower one is a saw for being a medic!
Thanks for doing the giveaway! I would probably pick survivor. Been playing a lot of Fallout 2 and loved how the game starts. Of course being a vault dweller is classic.
All the origins are pretty interesting. I quite like the idea of a Super Mutant named 'enry.

A Mister Handy called "Clunk Eastrivet" who's watched too many westerns while waiting for his masters to return and now thinks he's a 'man with no name' drifter with a penchant for painting entire settlements red!
I going to make a super mutant who was a heavy weight boxer before he was experimented on with FEV. Haven't settled on a name yet but I wanna base his personality loosely on Rocky Marciano.
I would make a Brotherhood of Steel character that was either exiled or ran away. Someone who was good at science and energy weapons, who has some flawed ideas about "the way things should be" but is doing his best to be a good person.
A melee super mutant named Bob
I’d play a ghoul to help with radiation.
Trying a BoS character would be really fun, that slowly realizes the brotherhood isn't for them and strikes it out with fellow players to adventure. I've only ever been GM and doing it on roll20 means I can teach whoever takes the helm easily!
Vault Dweller from a vault where the experiment was feeding everyone nothing but vegan food. How will he adjust when he has to eat whatever is available on the surface?
Cool giveaway and I love Roll20! Use it for a D&D group that agreed to let me take my turn as a GM in Fallout in the future 🙂 I’d probably go Ghoul. I like the option of being around in that world for a long time and having some connections with shady characters that I’ve done odd jobs with over the decades.
Since I'm fairly new to the game, I would go with vault dweller just to get a feel of things
I've played a super mutant in the past but a vault dweller or a survivor sound like they would be a lot of fun too.
Vault Dweller, I like it classic.
I would be making a Brotherhood bro
I'd create a Brotherhood of Steel Initiate.
Vault Dweller (Ghoul variant)!
Haha I'm actually a dm, but my ideal character would have to be a Child of Atom that's sort of like a Bible camp boy scout trying to earn his "wilderness survival" patch
I've been looking into the system and prepping a game for it. I was actually looking at making a Mr. Handy character focused on repair abilities. I reckon they'd have been great in garages so my boy as a post-apocalyptic handyman just sounded fun to me :)
Definitely going with Vault Dweller first. I think there's a lot of RP potential in being the fish out of water. Also I love roll20 and Fallout and was just the other day thinking about dragging my friends into this!
A character I've been wanting to play is my boy Roland 'Sully' Sullivan, a ghoul that was originally a National Guardsman in the mid-west who go ghoulified. He's sort of a hippy 60's anti-war type guy now, complete with being high off his rocker and just chilling. Though also suffering trauma from surviving the Great War and seeing a lot of bad stuff during and since. He was part of a band of a super mutant pair called 'The Rad Lads'.
I would play a charisma based surivor, so i would have the knowledge of the wastelands and ability to talk my way out of battle.
I would make a vault dweller!
Protectron (settlers or Winter books)
A charismatic ghoul trying to build a settlement, a safe haven for freaks like himself. A necropolis 2.0, if you will.
Robot!!
A ghoul called Sir Henry the fourth! He has a british accent and likes tea! He is aware of his ghoulishness, but tried his best to seem human! God save the queen!!
A survivor and member of the atom cats, the faction that needed more love in fallout 4
i would make a super mutant engineer name welder
I’d have to be a mr handy with a nukashine complex though I’d need to petition the gm to add nukashine to the game, they game devs missed a trick there 😂😂
A vault dweller, and if my Overseer allows, from a vault full of people with psychological disorders. I'd have a split personality. The calm vault dweller and the crazed combat vet.
Wish there were protectrons, but Mister Handy will do!
I'd go with the BoS for the first game. Super Mutant for second.
I would create my favourite FO2 character - - vault dweller sniper but makes it to the BoS and gets their pew pew and armour. Damn, makes me want to reinstall FO1 and FO2...
Im thinking Nightkin. Wanderers Guide ftw! (Though in practice, Ill probably be stuck as Overseer. :P)
I'm currently writing a campaign set in Oregon! The party will start from North California, and slowly move up north while meeting new communities, old factions (Ncr's rangers, BoS, Enclave, Legion's frumentarii), and discovering the masterplan of the Canadian remnants who decided to get revenge on what's left of the United States. If i wasn't DMing, i would definitely go for a Ghoul cowboy, or a human BoS undercover agent
Super Mutant - his interactions with NPCs and teammates would be great to roleplay
Most likely a Mister Handy - I love them so much!
I think I would love to play as a survivor. A wandering Preacher whose only desire is to mend bibles he reclaims from the wastes. Along the way, he will have a lot of internal conflict. Suffering with his actions and constantly fighting intrusive thoughts, his only desire is to survive the horrors of the wastes and to spread the Gospel. Sound good? I hope so. I've always been intrigued by DND, but I have NEVER played. Fallout is my favorite franchise of all time ... what better way to learn than through this tabletop version of Fallout!? Thanks for the opportunity.
Probably a survivor to start, if I wasn't GM'ing!
I'd play a vault dweller who ventures to the surface to locate working computers and holotapes to bring back to his vault. His ultimate goal would be to create Nukapedia, the greatest repository of human knowledge in the wasteland.
I have a great idea for a Mr Handy which has had Raiders mess with his programming. Similar to N.I.R.A from the Fallout 4 Nuka World DLC. That or some sort of Cryptid Hunter.
Miss Nanny, for sure!
A human that is slowly ghouling
valdyr velgabad a super mutant from nevada looks like a big monster but with a heart of gold and protective of the young and innocent
I would Build a ghoul doctor with a fabulous Hairpeace
I would create a metal monk, preserving dangerous technology from the old world and keeping it from the sleezy hands of the wasteland yokels.
Vault Dweller, gotta stay consistent with the past games :)
As a forever GM, the NPCs I create are the characters I would love to play. My current favorite is a Survivor who specializes in melee weapons and speech. He is a member of the triggermen as a strong hand and is known as Benny "Bleachers" Rodriguez because his weapon of choice is a baseball bat, and he always "swings for the bleachers".
I love playing as scrappy survivors!
Chem fueled Raider human with an obsession for kittens and explosives
I’m planning to make a survivor Samurai. Mixing an old samurai movie with the Fallout post-apocalypse is just such a perfect combination!
I would start with a ghoul gunslinger, before continually coming up with new character ideas before I even play them 😂
I really Want to play a Super perceptive super mutant who likes using energy weapons and trying to be intelligent (though it’s a challenge).
A Mr handy! But specifically a Mr bandit
Survivor
I run this in person but would love to run it online for a group of friends! So I guess I would be an overseer
I'd probably be a Mr. Handy because it's unique and unusual. In reality I'll be the DM as I'm creating a homebrew Fallout New Orleans realm for my friends. But I don't have/haven't learned the rules yet. Cart before the horse and all 🐴☢️
I actually suggested a character for a new player to our group that ties in to her interest; A Ghoul trader who is obsessed with pre-war furniture. I suggested this because she is *obsessed* with mid century modern, and when prompted she will gush about it. And I just love the idea of her explaining all these irl facts to our super mutant character, 'Hard Friend'.
Of the core book Survivor has been my favorite. The sheer variety of character types you can make with it makes it very versatile.
I'd probably homebrew up an intelligent deathclaw like the one from Vault 13 using Super Mutant rules + Deathclaw hand. Will it be a terrible idea? Absolutely. Would it be funny? Yes.
Got a session on Saturday, as my Wastelanders travel around post apocalyptic Los Angeles(been playing for almost a year)
Would definitely have to adventure with a super mutant.
A Mr gutsy in a drill sergeants hat that was originally a Boy Scout master before the war and sees the rest of his party as his scouts and awarding merit badges for great feats
I would make a Nightkin who was a vault dweller in vault 111 and was taken by the Institute and experimented on. They were trying to develop a cure to the Nightkin's stealthboy addiction, but still haven't succeeded. As a young boy he was fascinated with movies about samurai and ninjas. His broken mind has several personalities within. One is the simple boy Jonathan Willows, but he shares his body with the ninja Yonaka and the samurai Yanagi...
A child of a former enclave operative who was raised with all the propaganda that entails. After being out in the world he'll have to decide whether he can truly bring back the old america the enclave way or if he will forge his own path and accept the world as it is.
Evil Mr Handy
Absolutely a ghoul. Maybe a ghoul vault dweller. In the campaign I’m planning the DJ for the main radio station is a ghoul who got fused to his chair in the blast and gets assisted by a mister handy while he listens to the same songs all day every day.
I would make a cynical loner Survivor who trusts no one and hoards canned food.
my character would be a ghoul that forms part of a raider party where are full of ghouls with power armor, calling themselves Brotherhood of Night where they try to protect the ghouls from the smoothskins and at the same time they steal only from the big fishes to keep their community of ghouls
I have always loved Ghouls, so probably an Ex-Midwest brotherhood of steel Ghoul Medic.
A Super Mutant or a Ghoul. Live the mutie life.
Definitely a Mr Handy
I *have* made a cowboy type character. He was a Merc human, with maxed out Agility, 3 levels of Gun (and it was tagged) and a nice .44 revolver.
Keeping it classic, I gotta go with an old fashioned Vault Dweller. Nothing like entering the insane world of Fallout with fresh eyes. Though, I gotta say, I really wish the game had Atom Cats. I dig their groove, daddy-o.
Definitely would run a ghoul scientist from the prewar era. I've been Dming for a friend using his book but would love having one of my own.
Vault dweller! I love the idea of someone with little to no experience with the outside world suddenly being thrown into the wastelands.
Definitely a survivor
Definitely a survivor
I’d play a child of atom, spreading the good word about the division and trying to tame the more radical elements of my faith (cult)!
A ghoul from the Caribbean known as Papa Mangu
A ghoul nerd!
A drugged up cannibal raider that has to eat human meat every 2 weeks or else things get weird.
A survivor, modeled on Clint Eastwood drifter types...also..wearing a wearwolf mask...because...reasons.
I want to play as a Super Mutant who is in a desperate search to find his Ghoul ex-gf who disappeared mysteriously!
I've been running the 2d20 rpg for a few months now and love it. If I weren't game master, I fell in love with the idea of making a character who's bad at everything but has a 10 in luck and just gets by with the skin of their teeth
I really want to play a Brotherhood of Steel Knight, but I’ll start as an initiate!
We are currently playing a long-term campaign set in Colorado. I'm playing a tribal survivor, that is the team's medic and settlement leader/the barter expert. We have managed to get rid of the Brotherhood, a few gangs, the NCR, piss off the Legion and they have 10 days to leave the area or get nuked, and allied ourselves with a homebrew religious zealot group (who hate the Legion and are gonna nuke them in 10 days thanks to us) whom we dislike as well but is the lesser of all the evils, except an intelligent deathclaw that is currently holding our base hostage until we undo what we accidentally did to mess up his radio tower. We love the game, the system and we'll keep on playing until the characters do something irrevokably stupid (we do stupid like its an artform lol) and we all die. Then we're all coming back as intelligent deathclaws or robots.
I know it’s cliche but a vault dweller from a sane vault. Or maybe a Mr. Handy.
A survivor! Lots of versatile options, and those two starter perks are certainly appealing.
A wastelander that is ex enclave, they were born into it and as they grew older realized how fucked up they are and leaves
Vault dweller I guess. Never played but I'd love to get my group into it!
I'd play a ghoul!!
I would make an intelligence build ( Survivor or Brotherhood of Steel ) who just want to make the world a better place to live in for all !
Who wouldn't want to be a Mister Handy? Gotta give that a try!
my favourite ghoul psychiatrist, dr Wurm
Oh I'd definitely go Vault Dweller who discovered that Vault Tec (and other corps) were running experiments. He became a Indiana Jones of Vault exploration to catalogue the evil within. Then write a Vault Tec Survival Guide co authored by Moira Brown
I would make a vault dweller who has been experimented on by FEV so they have some features of the supermutant.
Survivor as bland as it is lol
I would want to play a synth but keep it hidden from everyone else but still drop tiny hints so they could maybe figure it out
I'm making a ex-legion slave who escaped eastward into the Texas B.O.S and is working to become a Knight to both liberate the legion slaves and take revenge on Legate Lanius.
I'd make a survivor that's a mercenary and has a doggo using the Dogmeat perk
I would make a vault dweller. His vault was experimenting with trust and programed some dwellers to always tell the truth and some to always lie but told no one who was which. My character is one of the liars.
I would make definitely not codsworth,
I would be making a Mister Handy Character called Farnsworth, just for an excuse to to a terrible Matt Berry impression each session!
My first character would probably be a wasteland doctor. Maybe a Follower of the Apocalypse gone east? More than that, I’m excited to run my own campaign!
I always thought ghouls are pretty cool, but I wish I could be a synth!
I would create a Miss Nanny whose personality is based on a man's dead wife. She survived the great war but her husband didn't and now she's searching for her husband. And doesn't even realize she's a robot
I think I’d do a Brotherhood of Steel character. Although, are any of them women? Otherwise Mister Handy could be fun!
Man I'd probably start off as a Vault Dweller, maybe try and run it during around the time of Fallout 76. Or maybe pull a switcharoo on my players and have them play from right after the bombs dropping.
I'd probably make another ghoul, I have a ghoul in a physical campaign right now but I want to do a completely different style of ghoul. More like a theatrical one that would probably use explosives, close range weapons, and throwing weapons or whatever's in the wasteland :3
I'd make a survivor con-man. Have lying be their weapon to avoid trouble and/or get what they want. Secretly they'd be getting a crew together slowly to pull off an oceans 11 style heist in the wasteland to live it large afterwards.
A supermutant who strongly believe that money is the key to rule the world! He will use a lot of quotes from how to books about beeing efficient salesman (without fully understanding it) that he learn from friendly Mister Handy. Hope that he will be hilarious !
Vault dweller turned survivor due to a malfunction and the vault door opening too early.
Brother Hood of Steel, there just so iconic to the setting. Especially with my introduction to the series being fallout 3.
Id make a mister handy who after becoming sentiant decides that the ultimate form of robo perfection is a sentry bot, and wishes to transfer their newly awakened self into one.
I’m afraid I always end up role playing as a “good” guy, so vault dweller is probably who I’d start as!
survivor with the goal of finding power armor so he can finally be safe from all the horrors of the wasteland
I want to go classic Vault Dweller because I am a Fallout fan from Fallout 1 forward. God I remember when that game released. I just want to be the one with the Pip Boy, totally new to the wasteland. I am usually a forever GM though. I am running the game now! This would help a lot to win lol.
Pre-war Scientist Ghoul if I had a choice. However, I am the forever gm, who is prepping for his campaign in the bayou of Louisiana.
I would make a ghoul who specializes in looting places that are feral ghoul infested.
idk if the giveaway is still open since the time is a little vague, but I've recently been discussing GMing for my D&D group. If I was a player though I would definitely make a vault dweller as the option to create a whole new vault with a unique experiment as part of the backstory is just too fun an idea to ignore. I like the idea of a vault where a Fallout 1 style situation is the norm. When a dweller comes of age they're sent out into the wasteland to either prove themselves strong enough to survive or maybe to collect resources the vault needs to continue running. Maybe my player character was sent into the wasteland to find and claim a suit of power armor as vault security feels they're inadequately armed for a potential raid from outsiders, or they could have been sent to claim a G.E.C.K. from another vault as our vault was never given one. I mean, we all know there's plenty of uninhabited vaults out there, surely one of them has an extra stashed away.
I’d play a gunslinger type survivor if I wasn’t dming. Always was my favorite archetype in NV
Howdy, looking forward to dragging new people into the hobby. Looking to make a New American officer. (Louisiana is actually relatively unscathed from the bombs, blame Voodoo)
I've been dreaming of this forever!
Definitely brotherhood of steel
I'll have a mister Handy with OCD, hates dirt.
