Will try to keep this all organized;
Stories, no, except for really old fanfic that I’m not pleased with the quality anymore. Mods; I was a voice actor for Autumn Leaves, a New Vegas mod that was really fun. Most of my other stuff is private bc I didn’t have regular access to internet till I was 18. Campaign if you’re interested I have session notes and the like, but it’s just the falloutification of Southern Illinois (Soil, I called it).
As someone who played the older games first, I LOVED Boulder dome. Essentially the mod was reintroducing a bunch of themes and characters from Fallout 3 (no, not that one. The cancelled one, Van Buren; which now exists as Project Van Buren. I definitely recommend checking it out if you like isometric games) also in BBD there’s cats, and the legion/ncr conflict spills over here. Determined place in timeline 2277, same as New Vegas.
Canon enough, I’d say. I still consider Fallout Tactics and Fallout Brotherhood of steel canon until proven otherwise, so I’m a little biased.
You’d probably have a good time reading the Fallout Bible if you haven’t yet. Tons of world building lore from the original creators in it.
As far as Fallout 1-2, tactics, and BoS, it’s complicated. If you’re familiar with games in that genre, like Baldur’s Gate, Planescape Torment, etc you’ll probably really enjoy them. At the same time, modern gaming has spoiled us (I have to have the aim down sights mod for fallout 3, for instance because I got too used to it), and some people consider it a slog. While I have your ear though I’d highly recommend Underrail (inspired by fallout), Wasteland series (inspired fallout), and Nuka Break if you haven’t seen it yet (on YouTube)
Man, this and Beyond Boulder Dome were the two mods that got me into creating my own stories, mods, and eventually a GURPS fallout campaign set in my old hometown. I distinctly remember not having internet, and having to lug my 5 pound laptop to McDonald’s for 2 hours so I could see what this mod that Al and everyone else was talking about. The Unity and Shi were great callbacks that I loved getting to see again.
