Yes, it's another one of those, go sue me. But I thought it might be fun so we'll see if there's any interest.
A few rules to start off:
-Quality over quantity: I would prefer if this RP stuck firmly into the 'casual' category. For me, that means at LEAST 2-5 solid paragraphs (200+ words minimum)
-I'll personally be playing more of a GM role, so if things start to slow down chances are Ima throw a herd at you or an NPC, encounter something like that to pick things up or PM some people to give them a nudge.
-I was thinking of keeping it more fun and casual but if people would prefer to go more formal and structured (eg stats, dice rolls, etc) we can certainly talk about it.
-Feel free to not get attached to your characters and kill em off, play multiples, etc. Not everyone is going to survive, it's just more realistic.
-On the note of realistic not much is out of bounds in this RP, so things may get a little dark a little gorey so if you're sensitive to things like that maybe this might not be the RP for you.
-No asshole. IC or OOC. Like your character can be mean or weathered or weary but if they have NO redeemable qualities then they're gonna die. I will make sure of it. No one wants to play with an asshole.
-The setting will be (somewhere in West Virginia) about a year into the breakout, just so everyone has a bit more of an excuse to survive. (Also I don't live in America so the only things I know about it is what I've read off google so I apologise if some of my facts may be wrong)
***A big thing I would like to try with this group is that we're gonna start a little differently. I plan to have 'groups' formed pre-IC start. So bring your friends, or make new friends because the way I'd like to start is to have a 'main' group of about 4-5 (players) who were established, had to move on, and are now in more of a crisis situation who encounter another group of about 3 who are still established (and by 'established' I mean have a relatively safe location with enough supplies/ food/ etc that they're relatively comfortable), maybe a group of 2 who meet up as well but who are struggling, see how we go.***
So what that means is there will be a bit of groundwork to do before the campaign starts, a bit of back and forth PMing to establish how you all met, what you've been through together with your group, where you came from, why you're here, etc but it'll also be a good way to make sure everyone can commit.
Please feel free to post here with any interest, comments or questions :)
