==Development history==
A closed beta was announced on January 8, 2020, with participants needing to sign an NDA.Modiphius on Twitter Fallout: The Roleplaying Game was slated for a 2020 release, but the release was delayed to Q2 of 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The official weekly development blogs began releasing on March 16, 2021, detailing gameplay mechanics, protagonist options, and combat. The game was officially released digitally on March 31, 2021.
The physical release contained missing rules and weapon handout summaries and weapon rules handouts as well as errors. Modiphius announced the inclusion of any missing elements after the delivery of the initial set along with a PDF download for those that had pre-ordered sets that included the handouts. Corrections and updates to the PDF versions of the sourcebook are planned for the future. Modiphius plans to provide long-term support of Fallout: The Roleplaying Game like the Star Trek and Conan tabletop series.Donathin Frye on the development future production of Fallout: The Roleplaying Game via Discord

==Additional scenarios==
===With a Bang, or a Whimper===
A three-act scenario contained at the end of sourcebook, starting on page 403. The scenario is designed so it can be a continuation of Once Upon a Time in the Commonwealth but also works as a stand alone scenario should the GM feel it more appropriate.Donathin Frye in Reddit: "Once Upon a Time in the Commonwealth is a short campaign (much longer than a normal quest) that will be included in the Starter Set upon its future release. The Core Book quest isn't a true sequel to the campaign, but could easily be used as a transitionary quest after finishing the campaign." By default, the area of the scenario is set around the Commonwealth before the events of Fallout 4 with a group entering a town that was created using a Garden of Eden Creation Kit one year prior. As the group gets to know the town, Mayor Jesse Pedigrue asks the group to investigate the home of local ghoul couple Joseph and Theresa.
