    THE SCORE
    Last hope for civilisation
    When everything else has gone to shit, the only thing you can be sure
    of is there will be fallout.

    The world has ended, civilisation has fallen, society crumbled. Man-
    kind huddles together in a small community for an illusion of safety.
    People pretend that life goes on, that there is something left to hope
    for. They distract themselves with blood sports, fast cars and scraping
    together the necessities for life, all the while pretending the dangers
    of the wastelands wont notice them.

    The people of Freedom Falls have built a semblance of a world lost.


    The town lies west of nowhere, isolated, alone and ripe for the pick-
    ing by bandits and warlords. Food is scarce, clean water rare. Watch
    your back, because nobody looks after nobody but themselves.

    About this PLayset
    The Fallout was written by Nathan Russell with the permission of Bully
    Pulpit Games. It first appeared in the March 2011 edition of Page XX,
    the Pelgrane Press webzine. It was primarily inspired by films like
    Mad Max and Doomsday, and the computer game Fallout.

    This edition of the rules is very similar to the originally published play-
    set, with some additional inspirations listed under Movie Night, a few
    tweaks, an odd typo fixed, and an additional insta-setup provided.

    I would love to hear from you if you enjoy this playset!
