How proud is your character of their country? Or, if it's more applicable--their world, their home town?


On that note--I'm going to be traveling with limited internet for a while. I'll be missing my usual July 14 Fete National, but if anyone wants to Frenchify things in my absence, go for it!

I will also be missing next Thursday's DE--can someone cover?

Thanks!

If anyone is interested, and has a moderately flexible schedule since I'm not always able to tag on weekends or what have you, Ellen and her Brotherhood companions are going to be mounting an assault on one of the buildings in Fallout 4. In the real world it's a Revolutionary War-era fortress named Fort Independence, which is not far from downtown Boston, and is currently a state park or something of that nature. In the Fallout universe, it used to be the headquarters of a group called the Minutemen, who were forced to flee the premises forty years ago under assault from giant mutant crab monsters. The crabs are still there, including one that's huge enough that people up and down the Boston-area coastline just refer to it as a sea monster.

The crabs are non-sentient and not very intelligent even by animal standards. The giant one spits acid. The meat is edible and apparently quite tasty even though these are crabs that get their food from post-nuclear Boston Harbor. Anyone who participates is free to take home as much crabmeat as they like, and can probably also be paid in guns or explosives once the Castle is taken, because there's an armory on the premises, it's just... y'know, behind massive numbers of angry crabs.

Later there will be glorious misunderstandings and anger and Hero Fights with the surviving Minutemen when they get all huffy about somebody else taking the Castle and taking all the stuff in it, but that's later. For now, if someone wants to participate in killing a whole bunch of unintelligent but edible monsters, let me know.
