While I'm still ironing out certain ideas I wish to implement, I'm basically creating this thread to see if there is any interest in a zombie survival RP. Key note being survival, so be ready to play carefully lest your character be killed.

I've taken a lot of inspiration from the original Dawn of the Dead, and the board game Last Night on Earth. So the setting is a small and fairly isolated town. While zombies will not be the only enemies, don't expect any crazy mutations like left 4 dead. There may be some slight zombie modifications as the game goes on, but still don't expect anything to explode, slurp, or heavily bash throughout.

I do have basic combat already sorted out, and will be implementing perks that can be unlocked if you play a certain way, kill with certain items, etc.

Melee weapons will alter combat rolls, whilst Ranged weapons can allow you to eliminate enemies at a distance but watch ammo counts.

Hitpoints will be rather low (4 being the highest, 2 being the lowest), and will not regenerate over time unless you find appropriate medical supplies.

Fully explained stats, rolls, and so forth will be put up later on. I'll work out the kinks during my three day hiatus.

You know where I'm at on this one. Though I wish my name carried more weight to it in the RP sections, I doubt this is much of like a "Oh toxic responded? Well then count me in."

Wait, Toxic wants to play? Well shit, I'm in too then!

Seriously though, I'm stretching my timetable pretty far, but I like zombies, so I'll make room for this, definitely.

Re: Zombie Survival RP Interest Check

Sounds interesting to me, though in my case the heavy survival aspect is what interests me. At least more so than the zombies, which aren't really my favorite undead. Still you can consider me interested.

H?

Count me in either way, I love down and dirty combat, strategic planning, and stuff like that. As long as we're given free roam enough to setup things like traps... *luffs traps*

Re: Zombie Survival RP Interest Check

If H stands for Hentai or erotic content... that's up to players. I won't be instigating it, and the zombies won't be out for a fuck either. However that doesn't mean players can't decide to sneak off to a back room to work off their jollies, just be aware that there may be consequences to doing so. For example: It's much easier for zombies to sneak up if your busy in the throws of sexual intercourse.

As for free form. I plan on making the majority of the game free form with the exception of combat. Traps and such all have their own stats depending on what the trap is. I figure I may have to come up with rules on the spot for things players do, as I cannot account for everything.

Glad to see you three interested. Like I said in the opening post, I'm going to spend part of my three day hiatus ironing out some of my rules and such and will have them all posted.

Perhaps interested. Are there very many numbers to dick around with in chargen?

Re: Zombie Survival RP Interest Check

Well, duh. The quickest way to get killed in a horror movie is to go off and have sex...

And yeah, I'm willing to give it a go. Your other game was pretty enjoyable, too, so I'm all for this one.

And holy shit, Toxic's gonna play? Sweet! *grins*

Re: Zombie Survival RP Interest Check

Well it's no fun to just have a bland survival movie either, there's always some scenes of dirty sexing... and if that gets a PC or two killed, too bad :p

Also though, as you said, zombies will not be the only enemies. ;)

Re: Zombie Survival RP Interest Check

What would be the posting update of this?

Any qualifiers on how good the post must be? Any need for a complex character sheet? Otherwise interest shown by me.. Through don't count on me actually participating unless I get some sort of inspiration..

Interest expressed, though may be biting off slight more than what I can chew. It's been so long since I've done a Zombie Survival RP though.

Re: Zombie Survival RP Interest Check

Well geez it seems like everyone's interested in this. I'll be too.

Interesting footnote, I've played Last Night on Earth several times. Fantastic game. There was one where I played the Cheerleader chick and I ran into a zombie infested mansion beating them down with my bare fists to win the scenario despite impossible odds. It was like an episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. :D

Re: Zombie Survival RP Interest Check

Well it seems there's a lot of interest, so Friday I'll have something up for you folks to properly chew on. Now to answer some basic questions:

Perhaps interested. Are there very many numbers to dick around with in chargen?
No. Character generation may perhaps be the most simplistic character generation you've done for an RP here on this forum. The most effort will be spent in naming your character and giving them a background. The mysterious stranger thing can be done... but why be so boring?

Count me in, as long as you don't mind me only posting every other day.
I don't mind. Especially if your are in your own thread. However, others may come to mind if you are shacked up with them. Still, things can be worked around.

What would be the posting update of this?

Any qualifiers on how good the post must be? Any need for a complex character sheet? Otherwise interest shown by me.. Through don't count on me actually participating unless I get some sort of inspiration..
Post quality is more determined on what your character is doing really. I don't expect Shakespear all the time, but some effort into putting personality and feeling into the posts would be apreciated.

Characters sheets are simplistic, as I said earlier. I'll have the stuff up for Friday.
