jrrtoken Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 For one weekend in June, in the abandoned, crumbling ruins of a Soviet military base near Leningrad, a group of 300 dared the impossible: recreate the immersive, post-nuclear atmosphere of an unforgettable role-playing experience. Fallout 2009: Nothing Personal was an adaptation of various Fallout locations written together to give off a similar feeling of isolation and bleakness, and while the desert was replaced with a forest, the decaying concrete walls of a former military base fit the environment perfectly. Having nearly 1:1 replications of weapons and armor also helps.
