With the first arc of our Fallout 2d20 campaign completed, we sit down with some coffee to reflect on the game.
We talk about the 2d20 system’s strengths, campaign story arcs, funky dice, perk cards, and immersive mechanics. Looking ahead, we think about future campaign goals, new characters, and deeper dives into Fallout-style survival gameplay.
