Hello, I'll preface by saying there won't be a ton of plot information here at the moment as I'm mostly just gauging interest and searching for a small group of two to three people who would be interested in brainstorming a character focused zombie-esque horror story. I say zombie-esque because I mean anything from Back 4 Blood to Dead Space, I'm not exactly overly fond of standard shamblers because it's easy to get burnt out on. I much prefer my zombies to be viscous killing machines and my characters to never feel like they have a moment of safety or reprieve. I'm also very fond of unique settings and clashing various genres together in some weird contrasting form of fiction. Overall though I'd rather craft something from the ground up with a small interested party so that we're all equally invested in cooperatively creating a story between our characters and the world we've developed.

It has been quite awhile for me in terms of actively writing so I apologize for the informal nature of this interest check, I know usually people have at least a basis for a larger idea that they'll pitch but eh, my gears are a tad rusty and my ability to focus has diminished a bit. Just trying to ease my way back into the waters so as to not get overwhelmed.

To recap-
-Loose zombie fiction taking inspiration from anything like Back 4 Blood to Dead Space
-Character driven, in-depth characters with strong personal motivations
-Unique world-building and non-standard settings
-Small group, 2 or 3 people max, not counting myself.
-Equal involvement, not really looking to be the main GM type but also not looking for someone else to do all the work

Hope to find a few possibly interested!

Possibly interested, depending on how busy I get these next few weeks. Probably though.

On the back of Zom100 hype (I have devoured what is on Netflix so far), I am at least interested. Especially a smaller style group (1x1x1 or similar).

Character-driven is what makes me interested.

Cool, this is a tad old but I was never in any rush so if you guys are still interested I could throw together a thread or a discord or something I'm sure so we can do some actual brainstorming. Now I ain't too worried bout how much anyone writes precisely, just that we're all advanced enough to give each other enough to work with and move the story forward together. Been trying to get back into writing for fun and not having so much pressure, admittedly it's pressure from myself but not the point lmao.

I'm heavily interested in character-driven plots, but I have not played Dead Space or Back 4 Blood. I will look these two up, but do you have other media examples to explain what type of zombies you are referring to? From the looks of it, Back 4 Blood is very similar to I am Legend. Or at least, this is what I first thought of. These two also seem similar to some of the zombie types from the Resident Evil Operation Alice series.

I do get that you want fast paced zombies. I just want to be sure, before moving forward.

@TaintedMushroom Looks pretty bomb. Not my complete normal speed, but I think I can handle this as long as it's all equal work and I'm not the GM. I normally do action adventure with some fantasy/scifi elements, but something like that example doesn't seem too far of a stretch for me. I haven't done zombies before, but that doesn't mean I can't. I just... haven't. Faster zombies sound better, honestly. xD;

Plus, I think I'd be able to drag my fav oc into this. I'm EST, but with random af hours. That said, I'm game.

Interested. Would love to RP with you if we can do 1x1.

Are you familiar with a setting called House of the Dead? As far as "Weird Zombies" and "Nonstandard" Zombie stuff goes, you can't really beat it.

I've got a whole backlog of media I know of to pull from for interesting encounters (I have an approximate knowledge of many things.) And I can play multiple characters as needed.
