Far to the North, even farther north than what was once the Crystal Empire, lies the Crystal Mountains. Eternal winter and unforgiving cold ensures that only the hardiest of peoples survive. Nearly two years ago records found in the Stable Tech HQ building pointing to a large storage facility were found. Inside it is believed that there is a great repository of war-time technology and materials. Less than a year later a small team consisting of ponies from the New Canterlot Republic, The Lunar Commonwealth, The Follower of the Apocalypses and even a representative from the Enclave all launched a joint venture into the northern waste in search of what they were calling "The Vault". Even with skywagons it took months to reach there destination. After making contact with several weary but friendly settlements and setting up a base camp the expedition set about searching for the 'Vault'. After three month the group was beginning to close in on the position of the 'Vault'. The last transmission received from the expedition stating that they believed that they had finally found it. And nothing was heard from them. Until about two months ago a transmission was picked up by DJ Pon-3 from the lead scientist 'Steele Reserve' simple saying "We have found it...". Now an anonymous 'investor' has funded and assembled a second small expedition to find this 'Vault' and rescue any survivors. The expedition is set to leave the following day from Junction Town...
Starting rules: This game is 7 years post S&R so things are improving and the Gardens have been used, but things are still far from safe. Only one pegasus, alicorn or hound was allowed. Each player was given 150caps for starting equipment and access to only tier 0 weapons. As well as having a single piece of armour or clothing winterized and being given a warm blanket to help fight the cold.
House Rules on Common Hazards:
Taint: Hazardous Magical Byproduct: Do not Touch, Breathe or Stare At! Contact with taint yields a Save or Die situation; End check with modifier based on volume of exposure. Survival of taint exposure provides a small chance to gain a beneficial mutation, and a large chance of a grotesque, entirely unhelpful lump of cancer. Even looking at this stuff is hazardous to your health.
Radiation: Sickness increases at every 200 Rads of accumulated exposure (as per the video games). Rads cannot be flushed from your system except with RadAway (Or a rare spell). Any character who accumulates 600 or more Rads will be subject to mutations that may or may not be benign. Accumulation of 1000 Rads results in Death, with a small chance of ghoulification. Rad accumulation increases with proximity and potency of the radiation source.
Sleep Deprivation, Starvation and Dehydration: You need to eat and drink at least twice a day. As well as get, at least five hours (out of 24 per day) of sleep is required to avoid deprivation. The first sequential day in which you miss out on one of these you will be allowed to make an endurance check to avoid the penalties, and will start suffering on the following day. If you fail the endurance check, you will be immediately subjected to the first level of penalties (As per the games) for that particular deficiency. Each subsequent day you fail to eat, drink or sleep more, you will be advanced one stage of penalties, up until the 5th day, which results in death for any of these three conditions.
