| '''''Exodus''''' is a post-apocalyptic [[RPG|role-playing game]] developed by Glutton Creeper Games, now a subsidy of 4 Hour Games. It exists entirely to appeal to ''[[Fallout]]'' fanboys who want to wear Power Armor but can't afford [[Space Marine]] miniatures.

| == Development ==
| |
|
| |
| ''Exodus'' was formerly titled ''Fallout: Pen and Paper d20''. GCG licensed the ''Fallout'' IP rights from Interplay in 2006 to make a pen and paper RPG. The following year, Interplay sold the IP to Bethesda, who promptly sent a Cease and Desist to GCG. In the six months that followed, GCG turned a full ''Fallout'' RPG into a ''thinly veiled'' ''Fallout RPG''.

| ==The Setting==
| |
|
| |
| The original setting is pretty generic, cashing in on the 2012 apocalypse scare when it wasn't aping off the canon series, probably because the publishers knew people were just going to homebrew it to be Fallout anyway. Playable races include humans, <s>ghouls</s> Ghüls and <s>Super</s> [[What|Trans-Genetic Mutants]].

|
| |
| ==Races==
| |
|
| |
| Not a whole lot to choose from in the PHB, although more options came in expansion.
| |
|
| |
| * [[Human|Humans]]: The average Joe or Jane. Work exactly as they do in any other RPG: variable stats and starting feats. Pretty much the race of choice for anyone planning on using guns (i.e. everybody).
| |
| * <s>Ghouls</s> Ghüls: Slow, zombie-like pariahs that know what's up. Pitifully slow and with a penalty to [[-4 STR|Strength and Dexterity]], and gain feats [[RAGE|every fourth level instead of every other level]], there is basically no reason to ever play one of these. Also immune to radiation, I guess.
| |
| * <s>Super</s> [[What|Trans-Genetic Mutants]]: [[Orcs]] with miniguns. [[Awesome]]. Rulebook says they are always [[That Guy|Chaotic Evil]]. [[FAIL|Less awesome]]. For players wanting to be a [[This Guy|Marcus]]-esque mutant, [[Rule Zero]] is your only hope. Things begin to suck worse when it you see that their stats are wildly imbalanced, granting a [[RIP AND TEAR|+4 to STR and +2 to CON]] at the cost of [[Derp|a -2 to all mental ability scores]].
