RPG CAMPAIGN TOUR CHALLENGE 2026 Day 1-Campaign Introduction and Overview

 What is your campaign called, what system does it use, and what is it all about?

I haven't given the campaign itself a name. It's an exercise in using the setting building tools from Ashes Without Number to waste out my hometown and the surrounding environs. While not explicitly set in the Fallout universe, it does borrow the vibe. There was a colossal war that nobody won and everyone lost.

The story so far is the story of this small corner of the world and how the people there have survived and how they get along.

Since this is intended to be something of a sandbox, a trait of all of the Without Number games, the story of the campaign is going to be how a party of survivors engages with this setting.

I haven't started actively running this campaign yet, so I don't know if I'm going to go with what the book describes as a "crisis" campaign model (closer to some seasons of The Walking Dead, where survivors struggle to build a community) or "exploration" (closer to the Fallout games, with survivors wandering the wastes and engaging with what they find). But this is going to be a reflection of the setting, whichever model I use.
