Getting ready to run my first game

Fallout 2D20
1

I am the type that likes to build all of the terrain and accessories for the RPGs I run. I have either purchased hard copies or PDF versions of books and such and am not exactly sure where to physically start in the game. I have five players who will run their own characters and I plan to basically start them at level one. What’s a good narrative for these people(?) all hooking up together in the first place?

I thought I might just let them move towards some sort of settlement to try and interact with it so that they can come across some sort of quest there, but it is that beginning narrative I am struggling with. In the video game, you’re a loaner that meets people along the way. These guys will all be hooked up from day one.

Just looking for ideas.
Thanks,
JSM

Big Rad storm so you run for shelter in a small settlement.
Other had same idea so you are stuck in the ‘barn’ together till the storm passes…

You are warily watching a couple of other wanderers who have wandered into your path.
Are they a gang looking for victims? or just other wary travellers ?
Then there is a roar as 2 Yao Guai charge down towards you all. Time to bond over battle and Bear Steaks :slight_smile:

So many ways. Let your imagination run riot. They want to group up and play - so will grab any opportunity you throw their way and make their introductions.
