Congratulations! If you're reading this, you've been selected to leave your vault and explore the surface! This survival guide has been prepared for your lone expedition, with instructions on how to navigate the possible dangers after decades of nuclear disaster. But don't worry, you won't really be alone, because thanks to your Vault-Tec issued Pip-Boy, you'll be able to record your expedition's progress. It is imperative that you record your progress so that if your Pip-Boy is reclaimed by your replacement, they will know what to do next!

This solo roleplaying game contains a complete, standalone set of rules — adapted from Fallout: The Roleplaying Game — to play original Fallout stories with characters of your own creation. With this 256-page, full-color, royal-sized hardcover guide you can create an original vault dweller and their original vault; explore a randomly-generated wasteland and record your story as you travel the surface; learn about the Fallout setting and its factions from coast to coast; and generate quests, scenarios, opponents, and obstacles from a huge variety of random oracle tables.
