Dead County: Survivalist Horror RPG

Some great ICs thus far!

I do have a minor critique for RPG Maker, if I may. I think your ICs will have better flow if you start a new paragraph when dialogue is started by a different character. For example,

"T-thank you" the girl thanked Bobby."It's not safe when you're alone,you should come with me" Bobby said as he lends his hand to the girl"O-ok" the girl replied then girl took his hand and stands."By the way, Mari Newman" Mari introduced herself."I'm Bobby Jones" Bobby introduced himself as well.

Would become,

"T-thank you" the girl thanked Bobby.

"It's not safe when you're alone,you should come with me" Bobby said as he lends his hand to the girl

"O-ok" the girl replied then girl took his hand and stands."By the way, Mari Newman" Mari introduced herself.

"I'm Bobby Jones" Bobby introduced himself as well.

This can kind of eliminate any confusion in who is saying what and give a good flow to your narrative. Bobby Jones is pretty kick-ass, really looking forward to more! :D

Dead County Needs Fresh Meat!

Dead County

Welcome to Paradise County, USA. Don't let the name fool you though, the locals have decided to go off the census for a more fitting name, Dead County. The zombie plague has hit this diverse area hard. The forests, cities, towns and deserts are now teeming with the undead. Mindless flesh eaters that are slaves to one lone instinct. There is no remorse, no reasoning, only hunger. There are some, however, that should be feared even over the undead... The fall of civilization has hit the living hard, and in order to survive, some have become monsters themselves.

In Dead County, players will take the role of a group of survivors struggling to rebuild civilization. Land will be varied, offering multiple settings for your RP. Players will be expected to compete with other groups for resources, forming alliances and enemies as they see fit. The overall goal of the game is to acquire enough land and resources to begin building suitable infrastructure that will adequately defend your people from the zombie threat.

Features

- A detailed map clearly showing terrain, player locations, and hazards
- Simple stats to keep RP grounded and realistic
- Weekly updates and semi-weekly mini-updates
- NPCs to add flavour and increased player choice
- Player freedom to develop a faction that best suites you, within reason :p

So if such a game would interest you, check it out here.

I am tweaking the rule set slightly. Natural Leaders will now have a bonus to recruiting new survivors into their group, rather then gaining supplies. This makes more sense, given the trait, and give a greater sense of urgency across all traits in gathering supplies across the ruined county. Players will have until the deadline to change their trait should they wish. I will also give an opportunity in the early game for players to change their trait.

Teased, interested and only slightly annoyed. The latter being directed at GRR Martin's delay in coming out of Winds of Winter. :p

Post-Apocalyptic Mecha RP, Ideas In Development

Sound like an interesting twist to the post-apocalyptic setting. I keep an eye on this.

Going to go ahead and set the deadline for the first turn. This introductory phase will determine your starting position in the county, along with your starting supplies and survivors. Orders are PM'd to me, and for this first turn please provide a brief description of your characters actions for the first 6 months during civilization's collapse, whatever you would like included in the update, but be warned, the zombies could throw a wrench in your plans. I also need your top two choices for base camps. Please follow the following format for orders:

Prelude: The Fall

Corporal Hennesee (character name) will spend the next 6 months conducting search and rescue ops, looking for lost members of his unit, as well as gathering supplies abandoned by the National Guard. Encountered civilians will be robbed of useful supplies and left to their own means should they be of little use to the platoon.

A Base camp will be established in either Custard Hills or Appalachai Forest

Deadline is set for Friday, May 23rd, 15:00 Eastern Time. Plenty of time to finish your intro ICs and for new players to sign up and get started on their ICs. Then the game can truly begin. :)
