The Mojave: 2280

The year is 2280. The Mojave Wasteland is a powder keg waiting for a spark. Eleven months before the Courier canonically wakes in Goodsprings, the cold war between the NCR and Caesar’s Legion is boiling over. Both armies bleed in the sand, bracing for the Second Battle of Hoover Dam. High above the neon rot of Vegas, Mr. House shifts pieces on a chessboard centuries in the making. The giants are distracted. It’s the perfect time to make a fortune, change history, or catch a bullet.

Author's note

Imported and cut up from the Friends and Fables Version. Utilized the Living World Engine Package to adapt and improve the project for Craft. I hope its okay! A lot of images are missing. Been spending a bit too much on credits tbh so slowing down for now.

The 11 month things kinda annoying now I should've just done a flat NV starting position from the games start date.. 😅🤷‍♀️

Some stuff may still refer to the DM as Franz or the old Friends and Fables system. Ill get there eheh.

Ding me on Discord for anything thats majorly messed up, gonna set as public while I playtest 😌 enjoy xo
