New Fallout: New Vegas RPG Gets Promising Update

Hype surrounding Fallout: New Vegas has reached yet another high point in recent months thanks to Amazon's Fallout television series, which sent fans back to the Mojave Desert in Season 2. The season explored New Vegas in greater detail than we've seen in years, bringing back iconic characters such as Mr. House and drawing connections to Obsidian Entertainment's 2010 classic that didn't feel forced in the slightest.

At the same time, rumors surrounding a potential remaster or remake refuse to die, while a recent shake-up at XBOX indicates Obsidian will set aside their other projects and take a proper shot at a New Vegas follow-up game. However, fans don't need to wait much longer for an official Fallout: New Vegas release, as there's been a promising update on the new RPG (via Modiphius).

After an incredible response to the new Fallout: New Vegas RPG expansion for Modiphius's Fallout: The Roleplaying Game, where pre-orders quickly exceeded expectations for the developers, an official restock for the Fallout: The Roleplaying Game - New Vegas Setting Guide is on the way. That means you can officially pre-order the guide now and receive the PDF immediately, with physical copies expected to ship in August this year.

The New Vegas Setting Guide comes with a ton of additional content to expand upon the base game experience, taking players to the Mojave Desert again and reintroducing various memorable characters from the game. It's a 128-page, full-color, hardcover guide that includes the following features:

• Character Options: Including two new Character origins (Courier and Three Families), eight new Character Traits, seven new Perks, and an abridged version of the Gambling rules originally found in Royal Flush.
• The Mojave: An in-depth guide featuring more than 25 iconic locations from Hoover Dam to the Mojave Outpost with descriptions, loot, and quest hooks for each.
• New Equipment: 30 new weapons including Zap Gloves and Multiplas Rifles, and 11 new clothing and armor options such as the iconic NCR Ranger Riot Armor.
• Denizens of the Mojave: Fully fleshed-out stat blocks and special rules for the various personalities of New Vegas, plus companions, creatures, the NCR, and Caesar’s Legion.

Fallout: The Roleplaying Game is Modiphius Entertainment's officially licensed tabletop RPG based on Bethesda's acclaimed post-apocalyptic franchise. Using the studio's 2d20 System and Fallout's iconic S.P.E.C.I.A.L. mechanics, players create original characters such as Vault Dwellers, Ghouls, Super Mutants, or Mister Handy robots before embarking on adventures throughout the Wasteland.

The game is supported by a growing lineup of expansions that introduce new settings, factions, equipment, creatures, and storylines inspired by locations throughout the Fallout universe, including the aforementioned Fallout: New Vegas expansion that's currently up for pre-order for roughly $55 USD. Whether you're a longtime fan of the franchise or a newcomer looking for a unique new adventure, the Fallout TTRPG is well worth checking out now.
