In the wee hours of the morning following the Rusty Pick Grand Opening, a poker game is interrupted from a threat from above. As Chad and Roper race against time as ZAX gains access to a larger network, Commander Johns fights for his life inside the Nuclear Winter Simulation in Vault 51. The sun is setting and before this final match is through, winning will come at a great cost.

These episodes are in loving memory to long time Bethesda Game Studios developer Ferret Baudoin, who recorded his lines prior to his untimely passing. His family has graciously allowed us to use them posthumously and it is fitting that in these episodes he will save the day, one last time.

The remainder of our season ad revenue from these episodes will be benefiting the global crisis and humanitarian work of Project Hope. Please support our fundraiser: ⁠⁠https://donate.tiltify.com/+fallout-for-hope-ukrainerelief/chad-a-fallout-76-story-podcast⁠⁠

As the opening night of the new Rusty Pick winds down, a shockwave tears across the sky as Sugar Grove is destroyed. To the north, the Archivist tracks Commander Johns and Bishop to Vault 51 and uncovers an experiment in progress controlled by a new powerful threat to Appalachia. Elsewhere, Commander Johns and Charles Bishop find themselves trapped in a fiery hellscape future in a neverending fight to the death as a ring of flames draws closer.

After decades of abandonment, the neon lights are glowing at the Rusty Pick tavern as Chad's gang hosts a grand reopening celebration. As new faces drift through the crowd, outsiders have come in search of the "Treasure of Appalachia" and one group will stumble upon something far more valuable. Elsewhere Commander Johns and Charles Bishop still are hunting for Hugo Warren, their trail ending at Sugar Grove. With the help of an old ally, they uncover dark secrets that raise even more questions about Project Lazarus and the Appalachia Experiment. The Judge is on the move, about to fire the first shot that will mark the beginning of the Battle for Appalachia. The board is set, the pieces are in place. It all starts now.

As part of our charity drive for St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, we did a "Making Of" broadcast, exploring and revisiting the scripts from Season 1 and where it all began. We'll be sharing some stories and ideas you haven't heard, inspirations and more. Also listen to a sneak peek of our next episode, "Rusty Pick Raiders, Sugar Grove Secrets".

The holidays have returned to Appalachia and with it, a dusty band of wandering performers led by the enigmatic, yet haunted Lord Alastair Olivier (Wes Johnson). Still changed in spirit since performing, "A Christmas Carol" last year, a heart once cold has begun to thaw and with it comes the terrible yearning to recapture a lost memory. A rare collaboration from the factions in the region has resulted in the rebuilding of WSAZ-TV, West Virginia's first television. A lost holiday classic is about to be recreated and broadcast...but sometimes nostalgia can be a trap. 

Staged as part of the Fallout For Hope charity drive to benefit St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, we are joined by Bethesda's Pete Hines with the who's who of video game voice actors from Fallout 3, 4 and 76 and beyond. 

EDITOR'S NOTE: As this was performed live via the Internet, in some spots audio quality isn't our usual standard, and we hope you'll forgive it.

A Post-Apocalyptic Parody Inspired by the Writings of Jean Shepard

Written and adapted by Dave Volkmar and Kenneth Vigue. Broadcast directed by Kayce Baker.

When this began, I don’t think any of us imagined what #FalloutForHope would become.

The holidays approach and we are needed once more. Gamers from all over the world unite in the name of every child fighting for their lives at @StJude and doubly so in the name of all of those who lost that fight.

The Fallout community comes home for the holidays and when we're done...we'll have raised half a million dollars to make a difference in the world.

We hope you'll join us. https://falloutforhope.com/

Halloween is winding down in Appalachia as it has grown deathly quiet outside. Chaos reigns in Appalachia as Charleston is attacked by aliens and scorched trick or treaters and wendigos are hunting outside. Chad's gang huddles close safely inside the Rusty Pick by a warm fire, reading the last two stories before Susie is tucked into bed. And yet...

Halloween has returned to Appalachia and with it, anxiety and fear due to the events of the last few years. As people bar their doors and board up their windows, Chad's gang prepares to celebrate the holiday safely indoors at the Rusty Pick. Susie brings home something from her past, a book of stories whispered to her at night by Ella. As night descends and chaos erupts outside, the stories begin...but there is nothing to fear. They are just stories, aren't they?

I am heartbroken to share that Ferret Baudoin, Bethesda Senior Designer and Lead Quest Designer and Lead Designer on Fallout 76 passed away suddenly on Saturday, October 15th following a fight with cancer. He had recorded lines for 2 multi-part episodes arriving next month: "Rusty Pick Raiders, Sugar Grove Secrets" and "...Meanwhile in Nuclear Winter".

His family have asked for some help financially for his children. Any and all donations and support are welcome and I’ve linked their GoFundMe and Buy Me A Coffee campaigns to help his children.

https://www.buymeacoffee.com/ferretbaudoin

https://www.gofundme.com/f/help-ferrets-children-go-to-college

Family, friends and colleagues are sharing memories and messages on Facebook and I’m sure they’d love to hear from gamers who loved him for his work: https://facebook.com/groups/longliveferretbaudoin/posts/634507764847535/

His light will truly be missed by many, including myself.

Thank you Ferret.
