Episode 69 - Fallout

Nate, Sebastian, and Ryan are once more joined by guest Brock
Wilbur, this time to discuss FALLOUT, Interplay's 1997
"post-nuclear role-playing game" that birthed a major franchise
and heralded a resurgence of the traditional computer RPG. We
talk about conveyance, open-ended gameplay, tactical possibility
spaces, and tone. Nate calls GURPS "the Esperanto of role-playing
systems." Brock explains how a very comfortable hoodie has led to
some very uncomfortable conversations. Sebastian compares
Fallout's plot unfavorably with The Great Gatsby. Ryan ponders
naming his firstborn "Cavalier Oblique Projection."
