As a pre-Halloween treat, I have something a little different for you as a bonus scare. One of the most acclaimed, award-winning Fallout podcasts is ALSO a favorite of some of the developers of Fallout: New Vegas. Preston Hardin's, "True Vault Escapades" is highly worth a listen and in this tale sure to terrify, you'll hear me in a very different role. I invite you to join me at a wedding, my wedding in point of fact, as I take the hand of my dear bride Margorine and carry her to our new home. But as she'll discover what awaits her is a darkness that push her to the edge of madness...Subscribe and listen to True Vault Escapades: https://open.spotify.com/show/0LhMl4gWJcP0wIYJbri8NS Hosted on Acast.

This is Kenneth Vigue and I am recording this just one day after a visit to Zenimax’s Austin, Texas office, the very place that Fallout 76 was born. I also finally met my dear friend and yours Wes Johnson and y’all...there were tears to be had. The office was amazing, as were the developers I met and after signing an NDA I strolled on through, looking into the future. It was an amazing visit, made all the more amazing by one fact: in the developer lobby were tv screen cycling through different scenes. On one monitor playing was our live show from Bethesda Game Days, our season 1 finale. After asking about it, I was told that they cycle community content on the tv for the devs – so they can see the ways in which the community plays and creates in their world. I think that’s as amazing as it humbling. This has been a journey I’ve been blessed by.But right now, today I want to tell you about two of my best friends starting their own journey. Appalachia: A Fallout 76 Story, an official spin-off series of our show is now live. The first two episodes I’m dropping in my feed hoping you’ll give it a listen and then find them on Spotify and Apple Podcast and give them a follow and a download. That really helps them get started. The story is exceptionally well written by Matthew Bartlett and Philip Lonidier with a wraparound that I’ve been writing...yes don’t worry, I’m still doing plenty of that.This story is set parallel to our own and it opens during the Battle for Appalachia before they take us back to Year 1, back to Reclamation Day as you discover a new band of post apocalyptic misfits. I hope you’ll give it a listen and keep listening because something very important happens, something they cause – a butterfly’s wings, a pebble dropped in a pond...something that happens right here has had unintended consequences all along for Chad and the gang. But more importantly, something Mr. Dark noticed in Xander Nash, the character you met this past Halloween has him very, very concerned. This podcast and ours will meet back up in the future in our season 4 with an ending you won’t see coming.Now, the casts of Appalachia A Fallout 76 Story and CHAD: A Fallout 76 Story invite you to cordially attend The End...and the Beginning or to put it another way, the Alpha and the Omega...
