Here's an idea of mine for an event we could run during 2022 and that any board member could join. This is an idea for an event that NMA will host during 2022. We will play all of the Fallout titles, as they appear on the timeline, during 2022. The event will be called: Fallout 22. The purpose of the event is to do something fun together as well as update our opinions of the games.
So the idea is to play all of the Fallout games during 2022. Personally I haven't played them in years and it would be a good opportunity to give them another go, them and the total conversion mods.
The official games, including the TC mods, would be played in chronological order. We will play all the official titles as well as the TC mods that tries to be a part of the universe.
The list so far looks like this:
Fallout: Nevada
Fallout
Fallout: Sonora (for those who speak Russian)
Fallout: Resurrection
Fallout: Tactics
Fallout 2
Fallout: Yesterday (the latest build)
(Beyond Boulder Dome?)
(Fallout: New California?)
Fallout: New Vegas
(Fallout: The Frontier?)
Are there any relevant story-mods that I have missed?
The event will begin 2022-01-01 and we will start by playing Fallout: Nevada as it is the earliest game on the timeline. When Nevada is completed we will continue in descending order with Fallout 1, then Sonora (if you know Russian), then Fallout: Resurrection and so on. As you play you are expected to participate in discussions of the games here on NMA. Post in the dedicated thread and keep the other participants updated about your status. Ideas for discussions: What build do you have? What’s your reaction to certain parts of the game? What do you look forward to? What did you think of the game? What would you improve? We will later collect these discussions and turn them into retro, joint, reviews for each game, kind of how the NMA review of Fallout 4 was done.
The Fallout 4 joint review had the following sections:
In the first post of the event topic we need updated information on the best available version of each game as well as easy-to-follow instructions on how to install them. We should have a recommended version of each. For example Fallout: Nevada is best with the Fixed Edition and Fallout 1 is probably best played as Et tu and not Fixt. You are of course free to play whatever version you please and information gathered from different versions could be handy when we write the joint retro reviews.
Bonus missions during the event:
Is it possible to have a banner on the front page that informs visitors of the event?

Work in progress starting post below. Feel free to quote and edit until it's good!

Below is a work in progress attempt at writing the first post. Feel free to quote and edit things. Once it's done we can start by playing Nevada together!
Should we add some of the story mods for F:NV that we mentioned on the previous page?
What mods should we recommend for Fallout Tactics? Is it Fallout Tactics Redux and Equilibrium? Are there other mods that one should have? What's the easiest way to install mods? Is there a mod manager?
I also need help with mod recommendations for Fallout New Vegas! How do you install mods? We could also have different recommendations of mods based on what experience you want to have. Like close to vanilla with minor improvements or making it more in tune with the original games.
Feel free to suggest topics that should be considered while playing each game. My dream would be that we could write joint reviews based on our collective effort.
And please change the format if you like!

Bonus missions during the event:
- Document all pop-cultural references that we can find and do new versions of the lists we had back in the day.
-->Clear specifications on how that documentation would be done are needed.
- Create a list of NMA-recommended mods for Fallout: New Vegas.
--> There's a bunch of mods for Fallout: New Vegas and here's a chance for us to create our own list of recommended mods that we can link to.
