Summary:
This got a little long overall. I’m starting a new zombie apocalypse. It’ll be RP heavy with some random elements. To make my workload a bit easier players will be updating their own character sheets at the beginning of each turn. If you wish to join, post a character sheet. Looking for 5 or 6 people right now, of which I've got 10 playing. I may consider taking more people in later, but am not taking character sheets currently (if I do, expect to see a fancy subject change). I'll direct anyone else who wants to play to RAM, who is running a cooperative character.



Well, our forum veterans will remember the little zombie apocalypse games. To the neophytes (or those who need refreshers), the first little zombie apocalypse was started by Leo. Sadly, it’s not available to be seen by most forum goers currently. There were a few that came after that. Basically, they were generally very RP heavy games set in a zombie apoc. I’ll be starting another one, right now.

Overview: RP heavy game set in a zombie apocalypse. Players will create characters and post actions, the GM (me) will then post results. The game is mostly determined by the GM, however there are some (hidden) randomized and preset characteristics. In general though, common sense rules.

Joining:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Right now, there are 10 accepted and 10 submitted characters, with 0 on the waiting list. I’m accepting 5 or 6 players to start with. If you’d like to play, please create a character. The preferred format (which I’d greatly appreciate if we could stick too, it makes working on the first posts much easier) is below. I’m not placing very many restrictions on characters. If you want a Mary Sue, feel free. Just be forewarned that life might be tougher for you. I am, however, limiting most things to realistic equipment. If you really want to use your character from another universe, then he shouldn’t be getting anything more powerful than a M4 equivalent (Strife’s infinite ammunition shotgun pistol, for example, is right out). I’m also making the rule that you may not consider a squad of Space Marines, Orks, Necrons, etcetera to be acceptable starting equipment. Please use the format below.
 
Username: (your screen name, expect me to shorten it for conversational use)
Character name: (if you want to use something similar to your screen name, that is perfectly acceptable)
Gender: (although these games tend to end up sausage fests, feel free to play a female)
Age: (The age the character has the appearance of, if you feel like going for the risky choice of having a character like Strife)
Physical Description: (What do they look like?)
Life Description: (What has he done? Jobs?)
Skills: (Any special skills or strengths s/he might have, feel free to quantify as much as you want for a standardized system, use DF job descriptions, so a character who has fired a gun once or twice might have Novice, or if he‘s had time to look at the mechanism but not fire it, he might just be dabbling. http://www.dwarffortresswiki.net/index.php/Experience However, if it doesn‘t make sense to use the prefix then don‘t, we can sort it out as we go)
Weaknesses: (I recommend that you include them, but you don’t need a weakness per skill or anything. Once again, quantify as much as you want)
Base location: (Where your character currently lives, and what kind of stuff is there. I recommend that you list really specific things like guns and such. You‘ll be able to loot the rest still I‘ll just assume it‘s regular household stuff. You‘ll also need a map tile from the map below)
Other: (Anything else?)


If we have too many characters to start with, I’ll decide which ones get in, based on how complete the character is, and when it was turned in. If we get a lot of interest, it would be cool it several people would be willing to ‘share’ a character and decide his/her actions by consensus. If you’d be okay with sharing your character, make a note of it in the other section (this will also be a plus for getting in).

RULES:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

GM expectations:
1) Turns will only be posted if ALL players have results typed.
2) Turns will be no longer than 2 weeks, preferably one week each.
3) Listen to player concerns.
4) Make sure the game works?
5) Write some better rules.
6) Keep first posts updated.
7) Turns will be written in alphabetical order by user's name.
     -unless all turns aren't in.
8 ) Mockery and derision have their place. Usually, it's on the far side of the airlock.


Player expectations
1) Players should try to get their actions in as quickly as possible (although I foresee me being slow as more of a problem)
2) Players are responsible for updating their own character/inventory sheet. After a new turn has been posted, they should adjust the inventory sheet as needed (gained/lost items, ect) and post with their next action.
3) Try to keep the game as realistic as possible. This is not RTD or MSPA.
4) Bug GM when/if he slacks off.
       -The recommended amount is one harassment post per person per 8 hour period.
5) Turn posts should be in the form of [26spoiler]character sheet (adjusted for what happened previous turn)[26/spoiler]
[26spoiler]turn details[26/spoiler]
6) Avoid annoying GM TOO much.
7) OPTIONAL Don't read anyone else's turn.

Talking, it's a free action.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Some have you have found other survivors. When you meet with another person who isn't obviously undead, you'll get this message at the end of your turn:

You found a survivor!

Trenchcoated kid
Armor: Heavy coat, cargo pants
Combat boots
Weapon: .22 Long rifle; Scoped rifle, shotgun (pump)


I recommend that you talk to them. You can either PM me or post (in a bloody spoiler!) what you'd like to say, then I'll rig up a response. For starters, ask them their names. Put any survivors you're with in a separate part of your current status sheet, with the heading Allies. Remember that these are people too, they might want to talk with you (and I might start off b conversation by them). They have their own goals (see if a loved on is alright, survive, kill zombies, or ritualistically kill themselves (or maybe you, heh heh heh)) and will try to carry them out. They won't listen to you unquestioningly, and may try to give you orders. Okay?

Inventory sheets

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Unless you're doing specific searches, I'm usually pretty vague in what I tell you about. When one is smashing heads with a cricket bat, it's tough to notice stuff, no? If I mentioned that you got your gear together, then you can claim all the stuff you mentioned as being in your base. I highly recommend that you have it listed in your status as a supply dump somewhere. Or else you may end up going into combat while juggling all of your goodies. Which isn't good. If you want to add something from your dump to your on hand stuff, just change it on the status sheet (for example, moving the lighter from the supply dump to the your pockets). I do read the status updates to make sure everything is okay.

Map:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

This is the city where we will be playing. It is dominated by the river (vertical line on the map). The river flows north and is considerably less straight than shown. It does a lot of twisting and turning (twice as much horizontal movement as vertical). It is not a huge river but it is not small either. There is enough space for most boats although navigation is a bit difficult. The river’s water is generally regarded as being clean, although it is a very brown (almost reddish) color. The current goes North.

The cities on the East and West sides of the river are technically different cities, with the collapse of the local governments, it doesn’t really matter. The total population (Before the apocalypse) was about 200,000. Winters are very cold, with lots of snow. It is early fall right now.

The tiles on the map are df like in nature. They are not to scale with each other. Significant bleed through may also be expected (i.e. houses in commercial area)

City Tiles
[spoiler]
Tile) Type.     Description.       Point of Interest.
1) Sparse Residential.     A few isolated houses as the city fades to farmland.   You might be able to ‘liberate’ a horse here, I guess. Of more interest, there’s an airbase here too.

2) Medium Industrial.   The location of a couple of factories and warehouses.   Might there be a huge building filled with baked beans? The airport is here.

3) Heavy Industrial.   The industrial heart of the city.   Contains many important buildings.

4) :Light Industrial.   Mostly city landfill, some stuff on the outskirts.   It also has a junkyard that might have some useful . . . Junk.

5) Light Industrial.   Although it’s not landfill, there’s still not a lot here.    There are a couple of machine shops that have good tools. There’s also a Chinese restaurant that’s, although very small, known for having very good food.

6) Light Commercial. A couple of chain type department stores. Lots of construction occurring for more stores.   Heavy machinery perhaps?

7) Light Commercial. Similar to above, although all the construction is done. Has a couple of small strip malls too.   There are a few electronic stores around here.

8 ) Heavy Commercial. Downtown. Lots of apartments, churches, and stores. Also has the local government buildings. There are the main police and fire stations in this location.  There is a small gun store here. I suppose that there might be remnants of the police, provided they aren’t dead.

9) Medium Commercial.  Has a fair number of large stores.    Notably, a very large sports store (with its own Farris wheel (!?)).

A) Heavy Commercial.  Large Local Mall. Has numerous stores and is next door to a chain-type electronics store.   Dead-rising anyone?

B) Medium Residential.   Some of the oldest houses in the city. Medium to Upper class with some pockets of Lower-middle class.     There might be survivors here.

C) Light Commercial.     Another spot of expansion, doesn’t have a lot right now though.    Contains a generic strip mall and a very large grocery store.

D) Medium Residential.   Generic Suburbs.

E) Medium Commercial. A bit misleading. Strip malls right on the main road, houses a block away.   Contains a small grocery store and has the largest local high school.

F) Medium Residential.   Highly differential housing. It’s mostly lower-middle class but has a small upper class pocket that contains the biggest houses in the area.

G) Medium Commercial.   Has many fast food restaurants and one department store. Low cost apartments are a bit off the main drag.   If you are looking for somewhere with a bit of everything, this might be a good spot to go.

H)  Medium Residential.   In the northern end you have a medium-large grocery store, a gym, and a restaurant. A bit south, you have medium class housing.    Not much other than possible survivors. Find a big knife at the restaurant?

I) Medium Residential.    Across the river, the medium housing areas are similar, but the houses are generally smaller while the yards are bigger.   There is a very large park by the river here.

J)  Medium Industrial.   The primary industrial area for the sub-city. Has a couple of automotive and machine spots.     Supposedly, the mechanic owns a muscle car collection.

K) Light Residential.   The most southern part of the city. Only a couple of nice houses by the river. Probably not even enough to be mentioned here. I wonder why it’s here?      It’s out of city limits, so there are no laws against gun use. Maybe some more weapons?

L) Medium Residential.   Starter homes are located here, small but well kept up. There is also the sub-city high school. Any survivors?

M) Medium Commercial.   There is another shopping mall here, but it is much smaller than the one in the main city. It was only half rented when the disaster started and has always been a little creepy.   The sub-city government was located in this area as well.

N)  Light Industrial.   A couple of warehouses and not much else.   There is an office and store house for a regional mining company as well. Maybe they left some stuff?

O) Medium Residential.   The nicer houses in the sub-city are located here.    There is a small park in the area where the local LARP club meets.

P) Light Industrial.   The edge of the sub-city. One small factory meets farm land.   A nice highway goes south from here.

Q)  No classification   Strange spot that’s Industrial, commercial and farming all at once. There is a very large sugar-beet processing plant that is a major industry for the sub-city. The is also a medium do-it-yourself store. Sugar-Beet farms take up the rest of the space. The beets smell truly bad. The do-it-yourself place might be a good place to barricade, with all the lumber and what-not.

R) Heavy Residential.   High rise apartments. Despite poor environmental conditions, someone built a bunch of ugly slums here. The most crime ridden part of the city. Called ‘our first Ghetto by some.’ There’s probably lots of contraband around here if you look for it. Lots of zombie too, I’d suppose.
S) Light Residential.
T) Light Residential.   In the south you have a very unique combination. On one side of the street you have twin homes. Then you have a trailer park. Right next to the trailer park is an upper class housing development.     You could try to steal a big screen TV from the rich people. Or a trailer home. There is also an elementary school in the area.

This is the update schedule:
Strife cancels update: Crushing workload. I've got the SAT on Saturday, and lot's of homework and cleaning between now and and then (plus my dad's in town on leave). Directly after the SAT, I've got stuff to do in the Twin Cities, so we'll see if I can update during the drive. Of course, considering my luck, I'll be driving up there by myself, in the middle of the night, during a  blizzard.

Damnit. Now I don't feel like sleeping. I'm doing my calc work, then we'll see if I get to a turn.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Character name: Owen Roberts
Gender: Male (Sausage fests be damned)
Age: 32
Physical Description: Tall, slightly underweight, somewhat bedraggled appearance
Life Description: Roberts served a term in the army as a spotter in a sniper team before being honorably discharged.  Since that time he has been attempting, with limited success, to reintegrate into normal society.

Although he engaged in very little actual combat, the stressful experience combined with previous repressed trauma and he developed a severe mental condition near the end of his tour.  This condition played a significant part in his difficulty when reintroduced to society, although he is receiving treatment and medication for his illness.
Skills: Skilled Marksman, Competent Stalker (stealth), Dabbling Cook, Novice Medic, Wood Carver (hey, everyone needs a hobby)
Weaknesses: Mentally unstable.  Suffers from periodic bouts of schizophrenia (audiovisual hallucinations, seeing something that isn't there, or seeing them as things they aren't {you're scared of zombies?  You have no idea what this guy thinks he's fighting}.  Although he rarely hears voices in his head, he sometimes hears people talking in other areas) and amnesia (blackouts.  Mysteriously appearing in locations and situations he can't remember getting to)
Base location: An apartment in the 'R' sector.  Heavily cluttered with random detritus and in need of a good cleaning.  Cupboard contains several cans of beans, a bag of sugar, one bag of lightly salted potato chips, and a muffin that's been there too long (bran).

Refrigerator contains half-empty pint of whole milk, leftover Chinese from yesterday (Vegetable Lo Mein and Kung Pao Chicken), five beer bottles (stout), eight eggs, and a gallon container of orange juice.

Medicine cabinet contains several pill containers, most of which are empty.  One still retains enough for three doses (should be taken twice daily to contain illness.  Side effects include "fuzzy" head feeling and minor loss of balance).

Assorted items include 'Zippo' lighter, unopened carton of cigarettes, large fishing knife with descaler and bottle opener, Glock 17C with maintenance kit and two magazines worth of ammunition (also, two magazines), birdwatching binoculars, fishing equipment (pole, line, sinkers, hooks, rubber worms etc.), cast iron frying pan, and bean-encrusted pot which has somehow managed to attach itself firmly to the stove.
Other: Although his mental condition is a significant hindrance under normal conditions, he also boasts an eerie capacity to avoid harm and "difficult" situations, possessing an innate knack for staying out (or getting out) of trouble.  His cooking, however, is functional at best.

I'd like to try joining, but I am concerned that I can't be on my laptop ALL the time. Mostly at night. Would that be a problem?

  I hope you accept 6...
 

[RAM]

I believe that it has been stated that this is not a 'first come first serve' soiree and that having 6 accepted might not guarantee you a spot, and less may not deny you one...

[Strife26]

Okay, the first six applications have been received. I'm going to make my final decision for six players at around noon central tomorrow. More character sheets are welcome! (And I'll probably end up letting everyone play  )

I need to know the other people who are living in the character's home.
