Fifth Edition Fallout fans rejoice! In 8 days time I will be streaming a game.
I’m thinking about running a full campaign in the future, but it’s a question of free time. I have to wrap up my current tabletop campaign first. For now, this is a one-off adventure featuring some of Fifth Edition Fallout‘s biggest fans! Although, while I say it’s a one-off, I’m not expecting it to be concluded in a single session. There will likely be a second, possibly even a third.
I’m a bit nervous as this is my first time running an online game, let alone streaming. There’s been a lot to learn, and there’s a lot that could go wrong. But I think I’m ready to rise to the challenge and my players are investing a lot of energy into their characters (some of them are even talking about cosplaying!).
The Hunt for Spring-Heeled Jack
Five years ago a string of grisly killings rocked the settlements of The Smoke before the serial killer disappeared from the public eye. Some people thought—hoped, really—that Spring-heeled Jack was dead. But it seems he just left town for a while. When he returns and hurts someone they care for, six wastelanders take it upon themselves to track down Jack and finally end his murderous spree.

The adventure is set in my homebrewed vision of the Fallout universe’s United Kingdom (you can learn a little about this setting, “Fall Britannia”, on the Fifth Edition Fallout wiki).
The characters are 5th level and have been made using a combination of the Fifth Edition Fallout rules and the classes and archetypes in my product Wasteland Wanderers. The first episode airs on Friday 23rd March, at 8.30pm (GMT+0). You can watch it live at: twitch.tv/spilledalestudios.
I hope you can join us live, but if not the game should be available as Video on Demand for 14 days. I’ll also be recording a copy to upload to youtube after the event.
Another Fifth Edition Fallout stream?
In related news I’ve been approached by a group of streamers who are interested in starting a Fifth Edition Fallout campaign within the next few months. It’s very cool news but I have no details to give at this time, particularly since that interest may not turn into reality. Here’s hoping it does! Cross your fingers!
