I've already got the music and aesthetic down, generally. Big-band, rat-pack, etc. Remnants and burnt out metropolis of rubble with art-deco aesthetics. A motorcycle sect of the Brotherhood of Steel. Punk-rock raiders. We are using a rule-system based off Fallout 2.
I need a combination of 80s shit-movies featured in major NYC locations, big-band 20s feel with a few songs from the 60s. I'm aware of most of the "NYC fallout lore", such that it is a complete crater filled with radioactive waste overran with mutants and ghouls! Perfect!
I understand this and yet, I feel like a massive nuclear crater that was mid-town is a good game opportunity.
What do you think? I'm posting here for the sake of TTRPG and the fact it's based on a game, as well as me asking for art and music direction! (obviously, you know Sinatra's New York was gonna take the cake) I have a few things planned, but I'm curious if there is anything I might have missed!
Happy holidays, and of course, if you wanna join just let me know in DMs!
So you're just using the real thing?
That got me; I actually was doing some research on the area and I noticed a huge amount of warehouses. In a country that never "deindustrialized" I'd feel like Newark would have become even more of a major hub for steel/industry logistics, shipping, etc.
There's more than just warehouses, it's just what it was known for along the stretch of the 95. Nowadays, they are controlled by raiders with motorbikes as what's left of the 95 is used for tolls, extortion and thefts as a major amount of traffic comes from NYC outwards. There's also an airport! It's still shitty.
The airport I wanted to have a BOS enclave!
