You are a party of scavengers, mercenaries and the like, Adventurers of the Wasteland, if you will, having met on the road throughout the course of the last few days - joining together for the journey to New Vegas.
You've decided to travel there in hopes of making it big through work in the area, people 'like you' always seem to be in high demand around those parts.
You've also recently heard rumors on the road that war, indeed, never changes - and Caesar's Legion may be making another advance Westwards, possibly looking for another chance at taking Hoover Dam. If true, this could mean even more work, and even bigger money.
But only just now has the mining community of Sloan finally come within clear view on the road up ahead, and beyond it, the towering casinos of The Strip. Dusk is just beginning to fall, so you may need to stay in Sloan for the night, though at least you'll get a nice view of the city's lights. You've always heard them described as a thing of near unparallelled beauty out here in the vast desert wastelands, and until now you've seen only a faint glow on the horizon.

This is a Forum RPG taking place in (an expanded) Fallout setting. As you might have gathered from the intro, you players will form a party of Mercenaries/Scavengers of the like with a common goal, having met on the road to New Vegas - you've decided to band together.
A few random notes:Here's OOC:
http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=130734.0Yeah, suddenly another Fallout game. I love the Fallout universe, but it's not one I often use with RPs and unfortunately I didn't get a chance to join up in the other game - so here's one of my own.
Of course, you don't necessarily need to be a Mercenary, Scavenger or whatever, that just makes you joining up with the others for the long term easy to explain.
Combat is turn based - and it goes by an Action Point system.
(Usually characters will have 8 in total, various actions take a variable amount of points to perform, as you might expect.)
In case you don't know about this neat little trick: If you see text like
This with the dotted line, mouse over it for a little tooltip.
I do make use of this a lot, usually for things like items, but I think I recall someone mentioning it didn't work for them a long while back - so let me know if it doesn't work for you.
And lastly, you might want to post before you begin work on a character sheet. I think the player limit will be 6, but I'm not entirely sure yet.We're full up for the time being.
