20 years has passed since the day that the Courier defeated the Legion and the NCR at Hoover Dam. Since that day war has torn the known world apart. The West Coast Brotherhood of Steel was destroyed by the NCR. Almost immediately after, the NCR was split into several independent city states by a civil war. The Legion was also split into smaller factions after Caesar's death. The most powerful of which is based in Flagstaff Arizona. In The Mojave, the Courier has died and the Yes Man program shut down. Leaving the Three families in a conflict about who will control New Vegas. The Great Khans have raided the lands of the Midwestern Brotherhood of Steel, who are fighting a resurgence of the Mutant Liberation Army.
Only a few have actually benefited from these times.Caravan Companies have made loads of caps by manufacturing and transporting goods to the warring factions. Criminal Syndicates have taken this opportunity to expand their power and influence. Raiders have also been able to thrive due to most nations putting up little opposition to them.

The Rules

1.Don't be overpowered.

2. Don't talk about Fight Club.

3. Despite being called "The Criminal Convention" people can also choose to be a Caravan Company, a terrorist group, a Religious group, or a Humanitarian group.
