In all of the travel and holidays over the Christmas period I didn't get my script finished for the next mainline episode. I hope to have it out before the end of the month but in the meantime you I have put together the audio from a Co-operative play of Fallout2D20 it did with Thomas on his YT channel Board Games With Thomas.
We had a blast and I got to test out a new character who will be very important in the second season of the show ;)

2024-12-1352 minA Wasteland Story - a fallout solo-rpg podcastEp6 - The ScientistHello and Welcome Back to another episode of A Wasteland Story. In this episode of the show we continue the story of our Heroine SosKaid and her trusty companion DogMeat as they head back out in the wastes to try and find the Brotherhood of Steel, hoping that they will help her upset Wrights plot in NuArk.
Filled with intrigue, dice rolls, twists and/or turns, violence, swearing and a very good boy indeed, this episode has everything you expected and more from one of the countless procedurally driven narrative audio drama set in the fallout universe.
2024-11-121h 14A Wasteland Story - a fallout solo-rpg podcast[BONUS] - Fallout 2D20 Character CreationHello Wastelanders,
In light of my new mainline episode not being quite finished, and the fact that I will be playing fallout 2d20 online with friend of the show 'Board Games with Thomas'. I decided to record me creating a new character and show you all a bit about how it works.
The easter egg here is that this character I created will become a key figure in the Wasteland Story...story in the future.
If you are only interested in the gripping story and don't much care how a character is made...

After one such important character was gunned down in the last episode, the heroine of NuArk turned scapegoat, SosKaid finds herself locked up in a tiny cell awaiting a breakout.
Can she trust Youthful Corey to crack her out of there like an accidentally mutated extra rib? Or is there more betrayal on the horizon ?(almost definitely)
And after al...

In doing so she accidentally learns of a far greater threat to the wasteland than even raiders. And to add insult to injury (fair warning for some filthy raider insults in this ep) the lives of an entire nearby village will be forfeit if she can't get there in time to warn them of their impending doom.
Oh and there is a raider under a bridge...obviously.

SosKaid finds herself in fact, not dead, which comes as a bit of a surprise. She isn't so sure however that she can say the same for the young Brotherhood Initiate and the twisted security bot who are awkwardly intertwined not inches from her trembling foot.
She has to get out of here...
