Well the zombies won't get cured but the next generation won't have to deal with getting infected
Also the zombies are already half sentient
There is a large (7~8 ft) bluish skinned bruit like zombie that lead hordes on average of 30 smaller (4.5~6 ft) olive skinned zombies

The colonies idea sounds good
I was also thinking maybe having sanctuary ally with a military group then going to war with an empirialistic group that is trying to take over the wastes

[Andres]

I actually read a bit of Sanctuary but stopped because the talking just went on and on... but I thought the gyst was that besides bandit posts the only human city was Sanctuary? Now there's military groups? How did they stay intact unchanged for over a century? Now there's an empire? Make sure to give decent reasons for these and you could pull it off. My opinion is to just make the zombies a bigger threat than bring in some enemy human element. You have the bandits for that and any more will take away the importance of the zombies.

[Cryxis, Prince of Doom]

The military group is about 20 miles out of sanctuary and the empire would be much further
The military group was found by the group of girls who are (what would ya know) on search for sanctuary
The group isn't one group that's just been there forever
It's a small band (maybe 100) of soldiers from different back grounds that basically stayed at a national guard armory and sat around waiting for humanity to reboot so they could resettle the town

Sanctuary was originaly supposed to be action packed
Then I went off and gave the first two people a free pass to sanctuary .-.

Ya I think I'm going to make an SG for this game

Yeah, just a tip but don't give your players that much power. It tends to spoil the game some.

They didn't really get power from it
It just kinda ruined the adventure to sanctuary
One guy got shot up by the scouts cause he back sassed them

[kj1225]

...
Scouts?

[Andres]

...
Scouts?

They started off in a hospital and dicked around for a bit. There was exactly one zombie that was easily killed and that's it. Then some Sanctuary dudes showed up to pick up the chosen one and one of the players sassed them for aiming a gun at him so they shot him up. After that I stopped reading.

[Cryxis, Prince of Doom]

Ya it's a bit more interesting now
I'm pulling the some stuff from other run through a of this game into it to spice it up
Like a high rise sector
The guy that's real sassy is half infected and his dream state is a zombie brute that has a pretty good sized horde
The girls just finished attacking a group of bandits

The game got a bit more game oriented once the people not involved with the other stuff kinda stopped posting

And I think that if you do this you need a second person to help.

Why exactly? And what for?

@USEC I like it and I would definitely play it, though I'm concerned that Speed might be too good of a stat. So long as you have more of it than your opponent, you effectively get two stats for the price of one. And if your opponent has more Speed than you, you'll probably have to put all your points in attack or defense to either break through their defenses or survive their onslaught.

Like I said earlier, it's a very bare-bones ruleset. You do have several counters to people with high speed, such as grappling (which eliminates speed bonuses), special moves (one of the cheapest advantages is to ignore speed bonuses when calculating damage) and fan actions. Though then again, that might just swing things around in the other direction, where ignoring speed is the more optimal build. I'll... take a good look at it I suppose, maybe tweak how it works exactly. The idea is that everything should be deterministic however, no dice rolling or randomness required, so that people can fight each other for shits and giggles if they want to, without me GMing things. So having speed as a dodge stat wouldn't work out either...

Eh, I'm sure I'll think of something eventually. It should be too hard making speed balanced.

[kj1225]

Well, as you said, it's quite complicated. Having a second helps.

[USEC_OFFICER]

Oh, I see. And what would the second GM do exactly? _{I'm still not entirely sure why I'd need one.}

[kj1225]

I don't know, help players for you? To be honest I thought that it had rolls or something along with the complicated stuff.

[Cryxis, Prince of Doom]

Who would be willing to play a post zombie apocalypse, roam the waste lands SG?

[Parsely]

How many games is that now Cryx?

[Cryxis, Prince of Doom]

Are we including r2d's
