The Ballad of Roger Bannister

 

Meet Roger Bannister, the former soldier, now trader NPC from our homegrown OSR Fallout d20 game. Roger is named after the famous British physician and athlete. Roger is a key NPC who often dolls out jobs and rumours for the players that sets them on adventures in the Commonwealth Wasteland.


A former soldier who was reassigned to the Logistics Corps after being injured in theatre, he survived the atomic Armageddon that befell the Fallout World, becoming a Ghoul. His journeys eventually settled on him picking up the life of a trader in the Commonwealth.


Roger was made using HeroForge 2.0. He's modelled on a Zombie template with added eyes and hair (a toupee for in-game purposes) thrown onto the model. This configuration works well if you are after either a Ghoul or specialised Ferral Ghoul miniature for player characters, key NPC's or a particularly nasty boss creature.


Roger may feature (i.e. his ballad!) in future posts where he appears in some skirmish games. So, keep your eyes open for that one.
