Saturday, December 2 @ 6:00pm: Fallout the Roleplaying Game by Modiphus

In 2077, the storm of nuclear war reduced most of the planet to cinders. From the ashes of nuclear devastation, a new civilization would struggle to arise... a civilization you will shape. How will you re-shape the world? Will you join with a plucky band of survivors to fight off all comers and carve out your own settlement, or perhaps team up with pre-existing factions to enforce your own ideals on the wasteland? Ghoul or robot, paladin or raider, it's your choice--and the consequences are yours. Welcome to the world of Fallout.
