With a Bang, or a Whimper

With a Bang, or a Whimper is a scenario created for and included in the corebook of Fallout: The Roleplaying Game, written and published by Modiphius Entertainment. The scenario is designed as a continuation of Once Upon a Time in the Commonwealth, but can also work standalone.

Synopsis
A three act scenario is contained at the end of sourcebook, starting on page 403. The scenario is designed so it can be a continuation of Once Upon a Time in the Commonwealth but also works as a stand alone scenario should the GM feel it more appropriate. By default, the area of the scenario is set around the Commonwealth before the events of Fallout 4 with a group entering a town that was created using a Garden of Eden Creation Kit one year prior. As the group gets to know the town, Mayor Jesse Pedigrue asks the group to investigate the home of local ghoul couple Joseph and Theresa.
