'''''Fallout Pen and Paper d20''''' was a pen and paper role-playing game based on the [[Fallout games|''Fallout'' computer games]] developed by [[Glutton Creeper Games]]. Because Bethesda threatened Glutton Creeper with legal action, they were forced to change the game into a generic post-apocalyptic RPG called '''''[[wikipedia:Exodus (role-playing game)|Exodus]]'''''.

They made it generic enough to use in any setting, but had added a new storyline that is based on a classless system. There were two classless options to choose from (aggressive and non-aggressive), which determined Base Attack, Save Bonuses, Hit Die, and so on. Backgrounds, Occupations, [[Race]] and [[Tag Skill]]s determined class skills. All characters got a background and could choose to take an occupation. [[Trait]]s were present with all of the classics from ''Fallout'', as well as many more new options.

D20 final

Final version of the Fallout d20 cover

Fallout Pen and Paper d20 was a planned pen and paper role-playing game based on the Fallout series in development by Glutton Creeper Games (GCG). The project was later released as a post-apocalyptic tabletop d20 RPG called Exodus.[1]

Background

On June 10, 2006, GCG finished contract negotiations with Interplay Entertainment for a license to create a d20 Modern Open Gaming License setting for Fallout. The products announced by Glutton Creeper were the Player's Guide, the Campaign Guide, and the Organization Companion Guide.[2]

On May 8, 2007, ZeniMax Media/Bethesda Softworks notified GCG of their intention to file an injunction against them for damages, should they not cease and desist production of Fallout Pen and Paper d20 products. They stated that Interplay never had the rights to license a Pen and Paper RPG to GCG under their license of Fallout from 2004 before the purchase of the IP. They also claimed that it could potentially damage the Fallout brand and the Fallout 3 release by linking the two. As a result, the Fallout Pen and Paper d20 page on the GCG website was removed.[citation needed]

On June 19, 2007 GCG finished the conversion of the Fallout PnP d20 project to the post-apocalyptic Pen and Paper RPG Exodus, encompassing large parts of the Southwest United States including New Mexico, Arizona, California, Northern Mexico, Utah, and Nevada.[3]
