You even start the game coming out of a Vault.

Everyone is holed up in Cairns waiting for the fallout from the end of the world to have cleared up. Except it never did, and a few brave folks decide to head out anyway...

Not fallout at all :D

Earthdawn, the awesome #ttrpg could be described as Fallout meets D&D.

Earthdawn used to share its in-game timeline with that of Shadowrun, until licensing made them go their separate ways. It was first published in 1993.

Your people survived a magical apocalypse in "dungeons". Now you emerge.

A section of a ruined, ancient stone street with an underground section also visible in front of three distant stepped pyramids, under a cloudy, mysterious, afternoon-like sky. The painting is by Les Edwards.

Review on YouTube: Shadow Ninjas from @outsetgames.bsky.social

Ninja Cats are trying to steal the Shogun's delicious Koi and it's up to the Corgi Guards to protect them in this quick playing, hidden movement, bluffing filled board game.

To str8 folks who don't understand the value of a Pride flag, it says "you're here, you matter, you're not alone" to us and its deliberate removal or banning is meant to say the exact opposite: "you're alone, you don't matter, and nobody wants you here." That's what this regime is doing.
