Welcome to The Big Red Button - A Fallout Role Playing Game Podcast!

Inspired by our "Choose Your Own Adventure" series, Cody, Dallas, William, and Alex enter the Fallout franchise to explore the post apocalypse.

Summary:

In this episode, the hosts of the Big Red Button podcast introduce ourselves and our characters to the world as we embark on our new role-playing game set in the Fallout universe. Carrying over the spirit of embracing the stupidity from our "Choose Your Own Adventure" series, we dive into the post-apocalyptic world of Michigan. The characters find themselves in the town of Dustridge, where they interact with the bartender, Randall. Meet Jake, Gotfree, and Houston, each with their own unique backgrounds and abilities.

Then, the warning bells start ringing...

Spoilers ahead - read at your own peril!

The group faces an unexpected threat as raiders attack their town. They quickly spring into action, with Gotfree and Mayor Evelyn delivering powerful blow. However, not all their attacks are successful, and the raiders continue to pose a threat. The sheriff manages to kill one of the raiders, but the last raider reveals a disturbing message before dying.

The group makes a disturbing discovery when they find one final raider, covered in gore and blood, taunting the sheriff with no fear.  As they investigate further,  after examining some strange jerky, they realize the raider's jacket is made of unusual leather - human. On the back of a duster they se markings of wings or hands or antlers - but it's too late to ask any questions. 

The group realizes that something strange is happening and decide to go on a recon mission to find out more....

TL;DR -

  • The town is attacked by raiders, posing a threat to the group and the town's safety.
  • The group demonstrates their combat skills and faces challenges in their attempts to defeat the raiders.
  • The final raider isn't like the others...
  • He reveals a cryptic message, hinting at a larger threat and a potential conflict in the near future.
  • The group decides to go on a recon mission to investigate the strange occurrences and protect their town
