**Welcome to The Walking Dead, AD 1000!** In this game we play as survivors of the medieval European zombie apocalypse, in the style of Robert Kirkmans legendary comic. Our characters will struggle for food and shelter in a world that is rapidly turning into a living hell. The apocalypse brings out both the best and worst in humanity, as selfless sacrifice clashes with egoistic treachery, and the eternal question of The Walking Dead remains: What should we fear most? The walkers... or each other? *** Sign up below if you’re interested. I’ll write and post the game thread when enough interest has been announced. Looking forward to playing with you!

Alright, I hate doing this, because it makes me sound like a major douche, but there is a Major flaw in this RP idea. You can't really run a "Would you sacrifice your morals to survive?" RP in medieval times, primarily because daily life was already like that, with little food, most medicine being detrimental to your health and crime more rampant than you would believe. One of the main themes of a Zombie Apocalypse setting is that your characters tend to be forced out of their comfort zone. From "Safe and secure at home" to "Everybody in the world wants to eat your brains." It's learning how to survive without modern equipment. You adapt or die. But, again, that was pretty much already the case. Essentially, the middle ages were essentially the Walking Dead, but without the guns and Zombies.

Hate to do this, but there is a fatal flaw in your argument. The middle ages weren't like that at all. Times were hard all right, especially in wartime, but nowhere near the terror of a zombie apocalypse. Man, you make it sound as if we're lucky to have survived the dark ages at all as a species, but we were never endangered. Civilization flourished up until the black plague, and then again after it. The tech back then might not've been like what we have today, but people weren't idiots. There were huge cities filled to the brim with people, and a fairly inhabited countryside to boot. I mean, shit, if people were falling over themselves to kill each other, then where did all the great buildings of old come from? The palaces, the fortresses, the monuments? People could forge tools from iron and wage pretty advanced warfare against eachother. There were systems for government and taxation. Nations had diplomatic relations, and sailors traversed oceans to explore the world. Your opinion, my friend, appears to be severely misinformed. Imagine, for the people back then, if the shred of civilisation disappeared in the horror of a zombie apocalypse. Imagine what seeing the dead rise would mean to the pious people of the world (and during the first prophecised Second Coming, nontheless!). Imagine having the last safe place you know of eradicated, and being forced to live in the wild as a hunted animal. That shit would be scary regardless of what era you lived in. This game isn't getting of the ground, I can see that, but I'll be damned before I let some smug little shit like yourself try to tell me why my thread failed based solely on his/her inadequate knowledge of european history. So, sincerely, gtfo of my thread.

And you've missed the point of TWD completely. It's not about surviving without modern tech, that's just part of the setting. TWD is about human nature, human relations, and that a crisis forces the best and worst out of people. The one thing you learn from reading or watching TWD is that the real threat comes from your fellow humans, and not the walkers.

Well, this thread is dead. Signing out.
