OOC Up - roleplayerguild.com/topics/91786-the-w.. I GM like Rick Grimes leads - I can be fair but I have a harsh dark side. You have been warned.
Premise
Life was fine, or perhaps it wasn't but life was what we could expect every day in and out. The worst things we had to deal with where Drugs, Cancer and some barista screwing up your latte order. That was until three years ago when the shit hit the proverbial fan and all hell broke loose. People got sick, people died, people came back and soon the entire world was slung right into Armageddon.
Whether it be skill or just down right luck you have managed to survive the last three years. Your days are spent avoiding the Walkers, or whatever you chose to call them. You fight to survive but in this time you have discovered more about yourself than anything that could have been found in your Facebook profile. Are you still the person you used to be? Have you snapped and gone into a dark place? Do you hunt these monsters or are you just on the defensive? Have you discovered that people are not only your greatest asset in this new world but what you truly need to fear the most?
We open in Newnan Georgia. (Why Georgia? Simply because I know the state better than others, so it makes it easier for me to GM.) There is a group of long term survivors that have set up a place of safety, well as safe as you can get in this day and age. They have walls, they have weapons, they have jobs. Everyone works, everyone contributes. Whether it be going on runs, helping tend to the numerous gardens, making sure the supplies are ready, that security is in tact, etc.
They do bring in new people because there is safety in numbers and they know this but they are also well aware of the fact that people are dangerous. Justice is swift here, the greater good always outweighs a single person. Banishment does not happen, execution does. Will you be part of the core group of Newnan? Are you one of the wandering groups that comes across the place? Or were you found by those out on a run and brought back? Can you live under these conditions? How long will the walls last? Safety is never eternal.
Welcome to the Walking Dead!

The Town Of Newnan: The historic downtown has been converted into a two stage mini town. The main area is blocked off heavily by a double set of twelve foot high walls with one gate at the south end. They have an infirmary, their living quarters, a central dining building for meals, weapons are housed here, vehicles, supplies and so forth. The outer area surrounds the town a bit further out with ten foot walls - it is the first line of defense and is use for crops, machine working, training, water purification and such. One gate at the south end. The entire town is looked after by a sniper tower in the center of town and various posts on each set of walls at all times.
Character Positions In Camp
- Core Group - This group has been together from nearly the start - all became part of the group within the first 6 months of outbreak. They are close knit, leave no man behind until you have to. They have done things to survive they do not want to talk about, they've killed but they get the job done. They are not cruel but they all have their own dark place that can come out. They are family now.- Leader - Leann McCormick (Former Lt. Col U.S. Air Force)
- Second In Command
- Lead Medical - Vivian Ormerod (Former Trauma Surgeon Grady Memorial Hospital)
- Medical Secondary - Maxine Cross (Former Med Student)
- Supply
- Runs Lead
- Weapons Training
- Survival Training
- Security
- Other - to be added as it comes along or is presented by an Rper
Character Positions In Group One
- Wandering Group 1 - This group is best described as "we are here until we aren't." You have only been together a couple of weeks, running into each other in various places over the last month. There is no leader yet, there are constant fights, no one really gets along. You are basically of the mentality that more people means more meat shields between you and the walkers.Character Positions In Group Two
- Wandering Group 2 - This group has been together for the last 200 miles of travel, time together 4 months - the group was larger but after a run in with a hoard, these are the only ones remaining - supplies are low, nearly goneCharacter Positions In Group Three
- Wandering Group 3 - Couple or Sibling Pair - Been together since the beginning - been roaming the last 300 miles - They look after each other first, no matter what. Decent amount of supplies since it is easier to divide up between two than a dozen.
