Zombie Survival Game, Anyone?
Alright, so I know a lot of people expressed interest in a zombie horror game, but were disappointed when it turned out to be action rather than a traditional post-apocalypse survival scenario. So I thought I would open up a thread dedicated to find people interested in starting a new one.
A few things to clear up, first:
1. We are looking for survival, specifically. Sure, there is going to be some action (as in zombie killing, and maybe running into other people and having to fight for survival). But it isn't a heavy artillery, ass kicking, blowing shit up kind of thing. Mostly, our people are going to be trying to stay alive, and there isn't much chance that anyone in the group is a total badass who can kill a zombie with a toothpick. Ya dig?
2. The game will start at the beginning of the crisis, when people are just beginning to turn. It will follow the modern-day outbreak theme, rather than anything old fashioned like a chemical waste affecting graveyards. So expect some kind of viral or biological warfare related explanation that led to the end-of-world event.
3. People can start anywhere, and write their own lines until we each intersect, whenever you choose that to be. Maybe they are multiple groups, pairings or survivors that end up finding one another over time and make a large group. Who knows? We can figure that out later.
4. Let's aim for as much realism as possible, for a game about undead flesh eaters trying to sate a constant hunger that will never abate. M'kay? Sure, it is zombies, but that doesn't mean we can't try to act like people in a situation like that actually would.
OK, so if anyone is interested, post here. We can come up with an actual plot, characters and general rules for the game. Everything stated above is based on the general consensus that seemed to have developed prior to the last zombie attempt on this board falling apart. Hopefully, it meets with gamer approval.
Let's RP!
