Henry Morgan: a Cataclysm DDA Let's Play
« on: May 17, 2013, 12:06:09 am »

My name is Henry Morgan. It's been a little while since the world ended; a year, about. The snow's all just melted. Everyone I know is dead. I've buried everyone from the shelter.

I need to get out of here. That town is much too close for comfort. But which way to go?

There wasn't anything in the basement I could use, sadly. We used it all up surviving in here. I managed to snatch a rock from outside, and I smashed one of those metal cabinets to make a crowbar.

I'm going to raid those houses to the south; I'm going to need more materials than just what I have now to get out of here properly. But which way should I go? It looks like there's some more houses the the southeast, and to the northwest. I can't see far enough to the northeast to make any claim what lies there, and the town center is to the southwest. That is off-limits.



Hey everyone, I'm trying my hand at a Cataclysm: DDA LP. This is going to end up crazy no matter what happens. I'll be asking for your advice every few updates; the grand scheme of this is up to you guys, I'll just be playing survivor-mode.

I managed to get into some of the houses that I had planned, but I must be close to the center of the town; the Z's are everywhere. I didn't pick up a backpack like I had hoped, but I got some good supplies.

Like I said, I ran into some Z's. I actually had to fight off two of them with my crowbar, but I managed to get out if the spat without a scratch.

A couple more broke into the house I was looting; I had to bail through a smashed window to avoid another conflict, and I cut myself up a little. Nothing those bandages or a good night's rest will fix. I gotta be more careful.

I noticed a huge, swollen zombie directly in my path on my way back to my shelter. I had to cut a path through the forest, to the other evac shelter to the north to avoid him.

I definitely need to get away from this town. There's too many zombies crawling around for my taste. But which way?

This looks interesting. Maybe try north?

As it turns out, the pen was in fact a poor choice for melee combat in comparison to the sword.
So I just started playing this game and I accidentally nuked the moon.

I was playing earlier and then I was killed by a wolf spider hiding behind a pawn shop door.

So! New character time!

I'll list the bits for it all tomorrow; Then I'll have you guys decide on the build.

I'll try to get some of my dark god buddies to 'bless' the new guy.
