Welcome to Nukapedia + The Vault
We are creating the ultimate guide to the Fallout series, and you can help!

| Introduction |
|---|
| Fallout is a franchise of post-apocalyptic computer role-playing games created by Interplay Entertainment. Originally envisioned as a sequel to Wasteland using Steve Jackson's GURPS, Fallout eventually matured into something entirely its own: A mature post-nuclear setting with a retro-futuristic aesthetic, powered by the home-brewed SPECIAL system. Its unique visual identity draws on countless sources, from 1930s Art Deco, through 1950s Americana, to 80s and 90s classics like Mad Max or City of Lost Children.
The series encompasses six role-playing titles in the series (Fallout, Fallout 2, Fallout 3, Fallout: New Vegas, Fallout 4 and Fallout 76) and several spin-offs, including a squad-based tactical combat game (Fallout Tactics: Brotherhood of Steel), an action RPG dungeon-crawler for PlayStation 2 and Xbox (Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel), a vault simulation game (Fallout Shelter), and several tabletop games (Fallout: The Board Game, Fallout: Wasteland Warfare, Fallout: Wasteland Warfare Roleplaying Game, and the discontinued Fallout Warfare). |

In 2002, Chris Avellone started putting out on a semi-regular basis what he called a Fallout Bible. The idea, initially elaborated by community veteran Dan Wood, was to create a document that would serve as a total guide to Fallout: the history of the setting, the elements that compose it, the things that define it and the rules that guide it. It would also serve to tie off loose ends left by the games and to generally do some clearing up of things. It was certainly a good idea, especially as the prospect of someone who wasn't Black Isle making Fallout games grew ever more real. The problem, however, is that it really didn't work out that way. |

Sawyer would like to make a game set during the Resource Wars? ... that Vegas was first mentioned by Tycho in the original Fallout? ... that Obsidian Entertainment was formed by some former Black Isle Studios employees? ... that there is a hidden camp at Takoma Park in Fallout 3? |

Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears! Recently, our community has engaged in a long and thorough discussion regarding the way in which we refer to the player character in Fallout 76. Many good points have been raised and discussed, but have yet to reach a consensus, most recently on the article's talk page. |
