Boston & Surrounding Metropolitan Area (Fallout 4)
🕑 Added 2021-03-05 22:55:35 +0000 UTCI'm allowed to have fun too, right? I made this about a week ago while pondering running a modified Fallout 4 campaign. Unfortunately, my friends either don't like Fallout or don't like it in the context of a role-playing game (because things like Bloatfly's biology or radiation burns are a lot worse when you have to deal with the direct consequences of it). Alas. I still made the map, though, and I'm still thinking over how many changes you'd have to make to Fallout 4's story for it to be 1) not completely awful 2) workable in an RPG context.
So what this is, is an actually accurate map of Boston and the surrounding area, tweaked to more closely resemble the regions Fallout 4 depicts. I've marked down pretty much every pre-war location on it that I thought a very adventurous pre-war vault scientist might have theoretically marked, plus all of the major highways from the actual Boston metropolitan area.
The placement of some locations were guesswork, but most of the towns are pretty much 1:1 transplanted from the actual Massachusetts. The freight railways were pretty much pure guesswork mixed with what Fallout 4 depicts, which I'm pretty sure isn't accurate but is at least better than nothing. Besides, there's a 50-something year gap between now and 2077. Some changes are to be expected.
To clarify, this wasn't hand-drawn. I made it in Wonderdraft, with some icons taken from 2-Minute Tabletop's free icons pack. (Also, it's obviously not a weekly map or anything. Just some nonsense I did for fun.)
