Fallout 2d20: Royal Flush

Fallout 2d20: Royal Flush

In 2274, the expanding New California Republic entered the Mojave and occupied the Hoover Dam, after cutting a deal with the mysterious Mr. House, magnate of New Vegas. Three years later, and Caeaser's Legion attacked the dam in an attempt to add the Mojave to its growing list of conquests. The NCR held the dam, barely.

Three years have passed since the attack . Life has settled into an equilibrium. The Legion grows its forces, and the NCR prepares it defenses for the next attack. Business continues as normal on the Strip, as tourists pour a seemingly limitless amount of caps and NCR dollars into the casinos. War is coming, and minor conflicts spark all across the region as skirmishing forces from the Legion clash with NCR Rangers.

Outside of strip, tensions have been growing up and down Route 95 and 395, from New Reno to New Vegas. Raiders have been appearing with increasing frequency. NCR troops, focused on containing the Legion, can't provide the same level of security as they did ten years ago. The Legion occupies all attention in this part of the NCR. Violence is increasing, and that's bad for business.

It might look like chaos. But there's always someone behind the wheel.

Our story opens as a group of wanders stumbles into the middle of some high level politics aimed at containing this, and find themselves key to the future of the region...

Life in the Mojave is about to change.
