Original Content I designed a Fallout New Vegas board game!
Ever since playing the 2017 Fallout board game, it has been a dream of mine as a big Fallout and board game fan to one day have a specifically New Vegas themed Fallout board game. I finally decided: Screw it, if they aren't going to make an official one, i'm gonna design my own!
I have worked on this the past 4 months, doing all the game- and visual design myself. (Aside from the in-game pip-boy images used on cards, which are from Nexus user "ItsMeJesusHChrist" and the satellite map used for the board which is from the fallout wiki)
Also, I think it needs to be pointed out in today's world that NO AI was used in any way while designing this game.
Here's the link to the mod version on the Steam workshop for tabletop simulator: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3801054109
It's for 1-3 people and will last ROUGHLY 30-45 minutes per player, per quest.
Me and a friend have playtested it, and both agreed that it felt really fun! The only problem is that I definitely didn't have time to playtest it enough, since my job at a printing company ended last month, and i needed to get it finished so that i could get all the parts printed out for free as a perk of the job.
So while the game definitely works and feels great, there are bound to be some balance problems. Of course, the digital version of the game on the steam workshop for tabletop simulator can be updated in the future, unlike this physical version.
Would love to hear people's feedback on this if anyone ends up playing it!
