Thumbs Up for Fallout (E258)

I kick things off by responding to some messages regarding my struggles with solo play (see episode 255 “False Starts in Solo”) from Jason Connerley of Nerd’s RPG Variety Cast (podcast & blog), MW Lewis of The Worlds of MW Lewis (podcast), and John Alan Large of The Red Dice Diaries (podcast & YouTube).

As the title suggests, this episode is about the Fallout franchise, an I.P. I’m surprised I’ve never spoken about considering the amount of time I’ve spent immersed in this world.
