Would anyone be interested in a zombie RPG? Where we are all on one team trying to escape/defeat zombies? It's a really basic idea right now but I have some ideas and I was wondering if anyone would be interested. It would be completely different from the other RPGs we have so I think people would be able to deal with any more.

Sounds cool, a short and sweet little RPG, although I don't think I'd have the time to participate fully.

Like the idea though.

Would this be in a modern setting?

Back when we were doing the star wars rps I had a few ideas for a zombie rp. I think you're going more for a game based thing but basically my idea was that everyone who joined the rp would be a human character, and the GM would make a random roll for each person. Depending on the result, some people would be slated to become infected and turn into zombies. They would be informed via PM and everyone would be told not to let anyone know if they were to be a zed or not. The idea was so that people would not be able to trust each other easily, leading to potential conflict between the characters. So it would involve lots of moments where you don't know where another character has been, that they might be hiding a wound from everyone, and why didn't that character respond on the radio ten minutes ago?

Still whatever you're planning, I'll probably get involved.

Well you see it in most of the zombie movies. In the end it's not the shambling zombie horde which really beats the humans, it's the paranoia, mistrust and general inability to work towards a common goal that brings the survivors down. As a card carrying member of the Undeadites horde in Urban Dead, I say Moar Brainz, less Harmans!

I think that is a good idea too, although I think everyone should start out uninfected, and if they get into encounters then thats when people start possibly being bitten and hiding wounds and stuff.

Yeah, I can see the point of that. The only reason that rp would have people like that to begin with was that it revolved around a town which had already been attacked and a team had arrived the previous day to rescue any survivors. So it was starting part way into the action.

Anyway, sign me up for taking part and I'll help out if necessary.

Preliminary details! Yay!

Whittman Pharmaceuticals was hired to help create a virus which would enable United States soldiers to continue fighting even after suffering horrific injuries in battle. However, on September 20, 2008, the virus was released within Whittman's facility in northern Maine. Causing severe coughing fits upon being inhaled, the virus caused trauma to several employees by causing them to fall down stairs and other such incidents. The facility was sealed when the virus was released, and the severely-injured employees had the virus take effect within them. However, it was unfinished, and did not keep them alive with all their senses, only their most basic instincts. The heightened agression part of the virus, however, did work, and the injured, infected employees began attacking their fellows. Soon the entire facility was infected, save for a few employees who were able to seal themselves in labs and avoid infection.

Players will play as members of the facility's staff who survived and must now figure out who released the virus, why, and escape. Each player will have their own victory conditions, and players will be given points to allocate to skills, such as computers, intelligence, etc. The zombies will be controlled by the GMs, who will be Gorfang and me.

Join! :lol:

I think I might have to.

Problem is that I move out tomorrow and won't have a computer for a week or more, (waiting for my new one to be built and arrive), so I wouldn't be able to participate then.

Afterwards though if I still can I'd love to ;)

Well it'll take a while to set everything up, so you'll probably be back online before everything is ready to go.
