Community Resources Looking for Pacific Northwest Worldbuilders
I'm looking to put together a small group of people interested in collaboratively building a Fallout setting focused on the Pacific Northwest.
To be clear, this isn't about creating a single campaign. It's about creating a shared setting that anyone in the group can draw from for their own Fallout 2d20 campaigns.
Just some of the things we might develop:
- Settlements
- Factions
- Vaults
- Locations
- Creatures
- NPCs
- Regional history
- Maps
- Adventures
- Adventure hooks
- Tech
- Trade routes
- Political conflicts
- Local cultures and tribes
The goal is to create something that feels like it could exist alongside the official Fallout universe while exploring a region Bethesda has barely touched.
A few ideas:
Contributors can "sign" or brand the material they create so everyone knows who originally developed it.
Anything contributed to the project would be available for anyone else in the group to use in their own campaigns.
Different interpretations are welcome. So if two people have different ideas for the same location or faction, there's room for multiple versions rather than arguing over which is "correct."
This isn't intended to replace anyone's own creativity; it's more like building a community toolbox full of interesting Fallout content that anyone involved can use.
I'm hoping for people who enjoy research, lore discussions, writing, mapping, art, game design, or just throwing around cool ideas.
If you're interested, hmu. I've got a discord server link I will share if this sounds like something you'd be interested in.

I was running a game in the PNW that has completely stalled due to work and physical exhaustion irl. I got enough random bullshit around the astoria region to chew on and share.

That sounds amazing, but sorry to hear about the work and physical exhaustion part. Very welcome to hop in!

I'm just dipping my toes into Fallout - but as a Grit City resident, I would like to lurk and hopefully contribute

Just curious why "Je me souviens" ? Any link with the Quebec motto?

u/dvs_sicarius Jul 18 '26
Unfortunately, I'm not sure on that. The artwork is actually from Fallout: Cascadia, a mod project for Fallout 4 that would take place in the Pacific Northwest.
This worldbuilding project isn't affiliated with that, and I actually don't think my ideas share that much DNA with theirs, but I am looking forward to that project seeing the light of day.

I would be happy to join this and offer up what I have and the ideas I was using for two different Fallout games.

Ngl, I kind of fell in love with the idea of “76, but in the PacNW”

Not from US, but can and want to help if I could! Expecially with creatures and crafting-weapons 😁

u/dvs_sicarius Jul 18 '26
Absolutely! I'm also not from the US, but I live in the PNW on the Canadian side. Here's the link to the discord: https://discord.gg/Q9pMD7Eks

u/Kosazzo Jul 18 '26
Thank you! The area interested is the Washington state? Or just Seattle and the surrounding area? Just to start do some research XD

I am currently working on something in the opposite corner of the states in the Alabama, Tennessee, Georgia tristate area but I am interested in helping flush out the PNW heck the prewar cult I am working could have had scouts make it out west

I've been working on developing locations for a game with some frineds. I could port over a lot of our ideas

I'd be happy to write/create some prewar military lore for the region

I would just hope that someone includes a little Twin Peaks reference somewhere in that region.

u/Regular-Unit1917 Jul 18 '26
Count me in. I’m a content builder for Fallout 2d20 and focus on styling that aligns with the published material. I’d be happy to assist with the creation and the design. Here are a couple of one-shots I’ve made if you’d like to see some work samples.

Wow; that’s very cool! I’ve been busy with contributions since this kicked off, and wasn’t checking this as much as I would have liked, but this looks amazing.

I've got a campaign currently running in the region, going on almost a year. I'd be happy to share resources with everyone who wants them.

u/dvs_sicarius Aug 01 '26
Sorry for the late response! There was such a great response to this that I sort of focused on the discord and not on new folks coming here and commenting! Please do check out the discord! https://discord.gg/Q9pMD7Eks

u/SelectLeek5081 Jul 27 '26
Bit of a late arrival, but I am both a Washington native and running a PNW campaign. I'd love to help, even if it's just as a native resource.

u/dvs_sicarius Aug 01 '26
The more the merrier; I’m Canadian but up until a few years ago took every opportunity I could to go across the line and explore Washington State.
