As our Fallout 2d20 Actual Play campaign continues, the party treks across the wasteland toward the settlement of Covenant. Along the way, they encounter dangers both grotesque and ridiculous, from gutting radioactive bugs for dinner to dodging their own teammates grenades.

And yeah, Steve's still trying to recover his prototype laser pistol from the bandit leader known as Thriftway...

Show Notes

Picking up from last time: The team emerges from their bloatfly battle at Taffington Boathouse, scavenging for supplies and making camp. Character Highlights:

Ghoulardi, the chem-crafting ghoul, prepares a fine (if unsettling) wasteland feast.

Steve NuGunnar, still haunted by the theft of his NewRay 3000, is determined to reclaim it from Thriftway.

Nurse 17 plays both den mother and war machine, tending to the team and disarming Lucky Buck in the most literal sense.

Lucky Buck, ever a source of accidental chaos, makes up for past grenade mishaps with a well-placed explosive.

Svenghoulie, the enigmatic wasteland ghoul, provides a Molotov cocktail mid-battle as a thoughtful gift.

Tense Wasteland Travel: Gunfire in the distance signals trouble near Covenant.

Raider Ambush at Covenant: The team executes a surprise attack, eliminating hostiles with a mix of precision, explosions, and mechanical saws.

A Welcome at Covenant: The settlement's guards thank the party for their assistance, allowing them entry.

On the Horizon: The mystery of Thriftway and his stolen tech looms large, promising more danger ahead.
