encounters. Random encounters can break

up the monotony of long travel, provide

combat and experience points (and, of

course, loot), and even serve as comic relief.

The specific adventure modules will instruct

the GM on how often to roll for an

encounter, and what chance the party has to

meet one. In general, random encounters are

usually terrain-specific; a party isn’t going to

meet a bunch of desert lizards in the middle

of a jungle.

If the party does meet a random

encounter,then they have a chance to avoid

it. The “leader” of the party -the character

who is first in marching order,or at the front

of the party -must make a roll against

Outdoorsman. If the roll succeeds, the

Much of the world has fallen into a state of

character has spotted whatever the party will

encounter and can decide whether or not to

avoid it.

Parties that meet random encounters will

start at a position of 5 hexes multiplied by

the “leader’s” Perception from the middle of

the group the party is encountering. This

means that if the leader’s perception is 6, the

party starts 30 hexes from the center of the

encounter (the middle of a caravan, for

example). If the group the party encounters

is big enough, this can still plant them right

in the middle of everything. Starting position

in random encounters doesn’t matter as

much when encountering peaceful things,

but it matters a lot if you wandered into a

radscorpion nest.

and the locals take one look at me and stick

me back ON the cross..." You could come

out of this with either a robe like that worn

by the bridgekeeper and a karmic perk as

"anti-christ- all good people hate and fear

you, but nasty people take a shine to you;" or

profuse thanks, blessings, and "Holy

Champion" karmic perks-Tag skills receive

bonuses, the better to perform great deeds.

Fallout P'n'P v. 2.0.

Chosen One

The (low level) team meets up with a

continual array of people helped or hindered

by the Chosen One and his/her band of

ragtag heroes. In the ensuing battles and

quests to aid, they are perpetually compared

to the Chosen One. Each time, they come

within a hair's breadth of meeting the CO,

but always just miss. Finally, at high levels,

they meet the CO, to aid them in a climactic

battle, or battle them in an apacolyptic duel

worse than the showdown with Horrigan

(after all, the CO BEAT Horrigan...),

depending on everyone's Karmic ratings.

encounters.

New Enemy

The team encounters a new kind of enemy.

Depending on player's reactions to this new

bunch, they could just be a one shot deal...or

they could be the first in a new wave of

baddies assaulting all that remains of

goodness. Not so much humorous, as a way

to test out new ideas.

Fallout P'n'P players and

GM's.

Lots of encounters in this chapter I found in

„Special Encounters” text, gathered by

Ausir, which I downloaded from

www.fallout.pl

Predator

The Predator shows up, looks down at the

party, and says, "Excuse me, humans, but

what happened to the hunting preserve?"

Andrew Miller:

Jesus

The party encounters a muscular, dark

skinned man in antique robes nailed to a

wooden cross, muttering to himself, "This is

getting monotonous... Come back to usher in

a world of peace, Dad's creation is in ruins,

Forrest Gump

The party encounters a man running through

the wastes at top speed, only pausing to eat

and sleep. If questioned, he says, "Mah

name's Forrest Gump, people call me Forrest

Gump. Ah'm a little confused about what

happened to everything when ah was up

there at that there galactic conferance

bringing peace to the cosmos like Mama

would have wanted. So ah'm running until I

figure it all out. Or until ah get tired. Here,

they were smashing these things at the

conferance, and ah thought ah'd keep one as

a souvenir. Here, you can have it." Party

ends up with an Alien Blaster...

strength of 10, Perception 1, Intelligence 1(if

you think his ability to utter polysyllabic

words makes him intelligent, try

DECIPHERING the stuff he says in the

stories), End 5, Charisma 4, Luck 10 and

Agility 6. Beating him earns you a metal

armour, a wooden pole, and a "strange shield

of unmarked character." This shield turns out

to be both a melee weapon that does 1-6

damage, and protection raising your AC by

+15 over and above your armour, plus DT

percentage bonuses of, oh... +20% for all

types. Only usable with one handed

weapons, comes in pretty handy with a

10mm submachine gun or powerful pistol, or

as they're called, "hand cannons."

Galactus

A spaceship the size of the moon appears. A

door the size of Mt. Everest opens up. "I AM

GALACTUS, DEVOURER OF WORLDS,

AND THE GREAT HUNGER IS UPON

ME..." pauses to look around, "BUT NO SO

MUCH THAT I SHALL CONSUME JUNK

FOOD IN THE STEAD OF TRUE

NOURISHMENT. YOU PEOPLE

<REALLY> NEED TO WORK ON YOUR

ENVIROMENTAL PROTECTION

PLANS..." He then gets back in the

spaceship and flies off, muttering,

"SURFER, I THOUGHT YOU SAID THIS

WORLD WOULD SATE MY HUNGER!"

"Sorry boss, it was looking FINE when I

FOUND it..."

G.I.Joe

The team encounters a large force of

vehicles and infantry, running and top speed.

Atop a command carrier, a man wearing a

blue uniform with his face concealed by a

mask screams, "COBRA, RETREAT!" They

are hotly pursued by another bunch in

vehicles screaming, "YO JOE!" as they blast

at Cobra with everything in their arsenal. I

thought of doing this one when I

remembered an old Comic, where the evil

Twins inform Cobra Commander that the

Joes spotted in the middle east where they're

planning an invasion of a rich country at the

invitation of a poor neighbor, have been

"dealt with." Sayeth C.C. "Good! I hope you

escorted them to a nice, neutral border and

let them go!" "Say wha?" "We certainly don't

need the Joes involved in this, certainly not

with a personal grudge!" "Well, uh... sir, one

of our subordinates misinterpreted your

orders... with extreme prejudice, that is... he

uh, shot seven of them." "WHAT!!! I'll

handle this myself, as soon as I've taken care

of things here!" And you just KNOW, off

page somewhere, Destro came into C.C.'s

office a few minutes later and said, "Sir I-

Cobra Commander! Why are you sitting

Don Quixote

Whilst wandering through the wastelands,

the team encounters a grizzled old man atop

a swaybacked old nag. He wears metal

armour, wields a wooden pole that would

qualify as a spear, save that the pointy end is

as dull as the blunt end is sharp, a shield in

his other hand, a helmet that most likely

would not survive a single blow. From his

mouth spews forth poetry of exceedingly

large wordings and complete

incomprehensibility. He decries one of the

team as the long awaited champion of the

nefarious wizard Freston, and challenges

him to single combat. Alone or en mass, Don

Quixote turns out to be a pretty tough

character, with Melee 150%, a madman's

there crying like a child?" "Why? 'Cuz the

Joes are coming and they're gonna WAIL on

us!" "Pull yourself together, man! It can't be

that bad!" "They're real pissed. They're

probably gonna send in Sgt. Slaughter." "Sgt.

Slaughter?" And then Destro probably

started crying.

Fang:

Robocop

Occurs around Detroit map area, you find a

secret lab housing a Crime Protection Unit

of an old era. It turns out to be Robocop!

Basically you would get Robocop's kewl

black gun that reverberating sound with that

HUGE muzzle flash. You could also fight a

half dozen ED-209's in the backdrop of a

failed OCP vault. Then you could access

files about Robocop, his last days on the

planet (probably containing riots in Detroit),

and how in some ways he was the precursor

to Power Armor.

Jason Mical:

Fallout Troopers

Group comes across a platoon of

Brotherhood (or Enclave) soldiers called the

Roughnecks holed up in a bunker. If they

stay for a while, the bunker is surrounded by

thousands of GiAnts, Mantis', Roaches, and

any other bugs. The leader orders his troops

to "give it everything they've got", even

though there isn't nearly enough ammo for

all the bugs. Resolution is up to the GM (a

dropship to pull them out? :) ).

A-Team

A group of Enclave commandoes were

convicted of a crime they didn't commit.

They were in prison, but broke out. They

currently are in hiding, constantly being

hunted by the Enclave. If you have a

problem and no one else can help, maybe

you can hire...the A-Team. I was thinking of

the ability that you could hire them on one

miniquest, but as always they would solve it

with a lot of guns, but nobody dies! Or

maybe you could kill them, take their

weapons, and their black van.

Grok

Party encounters a thin, beautiful man

wandering in the desert. He asks them if

they grok. Answer no, nothing happens.

Answer yes, and they have gained an

interesting ally...

Usaf

The party comes upon an underground

chamber, with an enormous, warm metal

statue inside. Inscribed on the side of the

statue is the name of the deity - Usaf. The

sheer might and power of the statue is

enough to make anyone in the party a

believer. Anyone professing faith in Usaf

gets the "Worshipper of Usaf" karmic perk,

and once in the campaign - once in their

lives, in other words - the player can "use"

this perk to ask for Usaf's divine

intervention. Whether or not Usaf

intervenes is up to the GM, but there are

some comic possibilities...

The statue of Usaf is, of course, a missile

with "U.S.A.F." on the side. :)

Knight Rider

You basically find kit and Michael driving

through the desert. Michael would be

wearing a double sleeved leather jacket, and

Kit would be right behind him. You can kill

Michael and if your science skill is high

enough, reprogram kit to become your car.

Hey, who would anyone want to trade their

Chrysalis for a talking Trans Am '82?

Half-Life

Around the New Mexico area you stumble

upon a lone man. He is wearing an orange

haz-mat suit and seems to continue

mumbling about the G-man. if you kill him

he possesses: A crowbar, MP5, Colt 45,

Glock 17, combat shotgun, Rocket launcher,

plastic explosives, a gauss rifle, and a

special weapon: the ion streamer! I was

thinking perhaps Gordon could be already

dead for quite a long time in the desert, and

all you would see upon selecting him would

be ' a dead man looking like his suffering

has ended' kind of thing.

while they rush towards each other and begin

to fight (bare handed). If party does nothing

or tries to persuade both sides to stop or kills

both sides then nothing happens. But if party

decides to help a particular side a karmic

perk "Democrat" or "Republican" should be

assigned to each party member.

China

Suddenly in the middle of the desert party

encounters a very deep hole (a stone thrown

there will not make noise at all). After a

while a loud noise can be heard like some

kind of machine was coming and ground

becomes to shake, t hen a drilling machine

(much like those used in mines) comes out

of it followed by many special tanks and

APCs (they are special because they have

double caterpillars to allow them to move

staigt upward and ae heavily thermaly

shielded). They stop and many Chinese

soldiers swarm out of those vehicles. If party

tries to resist they will probably be

extrminated (Chinese soldier are all armed

with MEC Gauss Miniguns) if not they will

be arrested and brought for interrogation.

During interrogation it will become clear

that this is a "Special Underground Attack

Unit of Chinese People Democratic

Republic" that was ordered to drill a hole

thru the earth and attack the States...

Apparently it has taken them more time than

anybody could have thought. After PCs

convince them taht the war is over they will

head back for China... If somebody jumps

into the hole then he/she will not survive this

as Chinese tunnel comes quite close to

planet core and even a power armour will

not help much.

Vampire

During nightime pary encounters a lone man

sitting in the middle of the desert. He is

crying. He wears gothic style black&red

clothes (with robe). He seems not to notice

the party at all unless somebody speak to

X-Com

Anywhere on map: You stumble upon a

hidden hangar, and walk in. Inside the base

is a plethora of Power Armor, Laser and

Plasma weaponry. These weapons and

Power Armor seem to be of a different type

from the standard U.S. issue. . In one storage

room you find a strange weapon...the blaster

launcher.

Remember in X-Com UFO Defense, the

ability to set up a base anywhere in the

world? And how when Aliens attacked your

base you actually got to fight in it? Basically

the base layout would resemble that map,

but of course more advanced. You could

spot old wreckage of Avengers and

Firestorms, and maybe even find some

remains in the alien storage center. About

the blaster launcher: it would be the only one

in the game with 5 rounds to work with.

Why? Well, the base will already be filled

with laser and plasma weaponry. And the

Blaster Launcher in X-Com was a weapon

that was basically a waypoint explosive

round that could hit ANYTHING!

Jan Domanik:

Election

When crossing a ruined city paty suddenly

stumbles on strange meeting.... Two groups

one with posters Gore-Liberman and the

second (yes you guessed) Bush-Cheeney (or

however should it be written) are shouting at

each other: "I wasn't confused!", "Bush for

president!", "Gore is a loser" etc. After a
