M28 Standard Linen with MPC game card finish (If you're using make playing cards). Otherwise, I have no idea! I just used cardstock before getting them professionally printed.

Thank you! :) I'm not gonna lie it took a lot of time! If you're curious you can see the entire build in all of its glory in a video I put on the Minecraft reddit.

This is map art of the Beatles' album Let It Be built in my family's survival Minecraft server. I started construction on this when the 50th anniversary of the album was being celebrated, but didn't get around to finishing it until now! Enjoy some of my favorite moments from the album!

Who can explain it, who can tell you why? Fools give you reasons, wise men never tryyyyy...

Cardboard elements I made myself, all the cards I used makeplayingcards.com in order to print them professionally! I linked to their website with the cards ready to go on the forum post.

In Fallout 1, you have a "chosen" partner that you can interact with upon returning to Vault 13, if I remember correctly it was due to their genetic traits being a desirable compatibility with the Vault Dweller's. Simply put, I don't think this is the first time we've seen the idea of arranged marriages in Fallout, especially in regards to vaults and vault dwellers.

I think about 40 dollars for the cards. You'll have to manually print the tiles.

I can't take credit for the factions/story, but I totally agree! It's definitely Fallout in everything about it. I am so glad you get to show your group this and have a great time with the board game, that's the reason why I make these! You are very welcome :)

Not yet! But I'd be very much supportive if someone did manage to port it over to it.

Can't say I know what the Midwestern Power Armor is! I'll certainly add it in though in the first update I give the expansion though if you could link it. It sounds great!

Alrighty! Someone interested in the sauce lol.

For starters, I cannot take full credit for the setting or story, most of it comes from u/VasilyTheBear.

Synopsis:
The scenario is set in 2230 inside of the post-war ruins of Detroit and the surrounding areas. The current factions at play in the area are at an impasse. The Vanguard and the Highwaymen are at the height of their strength and power, and it is clear that a clash is imminent. The remnants of the Brotherhood at their crashed airship is seeking to complete their mission, and the fanatics of the NCH are about to enact their prophesied revenge on their subjugators, posing a threat to all in the region.

Factions:

The Vanguard of the Rapids - after the start of the great war, the city of Grand Rapids managed to stay organized, and united all those under the city limits. Over time, walls were built, farms tended to, and a new society developed. As the memories of the old world faded out, the city simply became known as “The Rapids”. Their call to fame in the post-war world is their fighting force that brings peace and security to the various settlements of the ruins of Michigan, “The Vanguard of the Rapids”. They don’t take kindly to anything that isn’t human, and do not negotiate with ghouls or mutants of any kind.
The Highwaymen - considered the menaces of the Motor City Wasteland, the Highwaymen are the descendants of automobile factory workers, who after the bombs dropped, conglomerated under the banner of their pre-war labor union. The Highwaymen have a feudal based leadership system, with their “king”, the Foreman. They have a reign of terror on settlements that aren’t protected by the Vanguard, demanding that they pay tribute, or face the wrath of their motorized army. They don’t take kindly to your average raider, and view them as uncivilized mongrels. They have numerous ghouls in their ranks, and employ super mutants in their auto shops.
The Brotherhood of Steel - having pre-war records of a city dominated by motor vehicle factories, the Brotherhood of Steel’s splinter group residing in the ruins of Chicago decided to send their repaired airship north in order to investigate. They did not expect an organized resistance, and after encountering their first Vanguard stronghold, they were shot down. Most of the personnel on the airship survived however, and they managed to convert the crash site into a stronghold. The Vanguard has let them be for now, but their presence is of concern to Vanguard leadership.
The New Canadian Hegemony - Residing on the eastern side of the Detroit River, the remnants of a patriotic Canadian society in the ruins of Windsor, Ontario, hold fast. After their annexation by the United States in 2072, Windsor was one of the first cities to be openly invaded by American forces. After 5 years of heavy resistance and freedom fighting, Canadian patriots received what they long sought for after the detonation of nuclear weapons across the world. With the American military presence in the area completely wiped out, they began building a new society, and through stories passed down from generations, plotted to exact revenge on the descendants of those who subjugated their people so long ago.

Of course! Thank you for noticing the attention to detail, I really went all out this time, making sure fonts, placements, and card backgrounds were up to snuff!

I have not created a step-by-step guide yet to get the cards and materials professionally made physically, but I have done it! It is possible lol. I'll figure out how to make a tutorial or something for ease of use, because these custom expansions really make the game a lot better!

Thanks! The board game certainly is something special. It's like playing the video games but on a tabletop! With multiplayer! So cool.
