I've been thinkin' of a zombie rp. Yeah yeah I've heard all the cons to the zombie stuff, rigor mortis, heat, freezing, etc. I also know you guys (the LS group) have played around in one already, and before Onime says anything yes I know a zombie rp doesn't have much suspense and horror. But I've been thinking of an rp, if one of you guys wants to run it, have at it. Or have me run it let me know. Since we've been kinda stuck in the medieval fantasy mode for a while, something new would be a bit refreshing. |

How about shush. All we ever do anymore is medieval fantasy and it has gone stale. I love the genre but I'd like something new. |

I'd have to call for a vote, but medieval is most likely out since we've had plenty of that. I'd say more in the modern age unless by future you mean only a few years. Lasers and such would make mincemeat of zombies. |

We could do a modern setting, but we'd have to have no guns (atleast for the start...they're just to cheap.) Medieval would be cool...but you said you wanted to move away from that setting >.> So...Dead Island the rp? |

We should be able to start with maybe a simple pistol... not a freaking OP chaingun of doom, but something that'll be reliable and trustworthy, and go up from there... Edited by yuna, September 23, 2012, 12:27 am.

Honestly I don't mind people starting with guns, but ammo would be scarce and you wouldn't have a lot with you or at home(unless you're a gun collector). Not to mention, while yes guns give you range...I'd plan on having zombies attracted to sound. Guns aren't everything when it comes to me :p |

I think it kinda depends on where we would start. If the zombie...situation...is literally just starting how many of us have guns laying around? If it started like weeks, months, years, etc. into the rp we'd already have these weapons of course (zombie land ahaha love that movie). |

All zombie RPs ever turn into are "look at me be badass and kill hundreds of zombies with my sawed off shotgun." Oh, and of course someone's always going to inexplicably have a katana and be able to cut off hundred of zombie heads without it ever going dull. Plus, even if you are realistic about it, after a point nothing happens anymore. The survivors always find a place to hole up in, and from there they just...stay put. The only reason the group in the Walking Dead has to keep moving from place to place to place is because their own members betray them and shit like that, and I doubt we'd even have a group of people big enough for something like that. No thanks. Fantasy is stale as shit, I agree, but no zombies. |

I wouldn't mind a modern zombie RP, but I agree with Onime that after it reaches a certain point (reaching a safe place) that the story does essentially end. But what if that was the goal? To survive until the party reaches a relatively safe place with enough resources to survive. I remember the last one where the party managed to break into the bank and prepared the safe as their panic room after hitting a walmart, collecting as much stuff as they could carry and then sitting down there for like 10 pages. Honestly that should have been the ending and the rest of the story really aought to have told about them eventually getting rescued and the like. So how about it? Instead of wanting a long, drawn out RP that never seems to end why not one with a simple, immediate goal of "Get somewhere safe or try to survive long enough to get rescued?" Say put the logical time limit of 2 weeks "in narrative" before this area will be saved thanks to the military coming in and the goal of the RP being "stay alive until then." Give us a setting that justifies that slow response time (like a small town in modern America) and then say go at it. Really it might be an RP that we could reasonably expect to finish for once. |

The thing about your complaint Onimer, is that I wouldn't allow that. I hate it when people cut through cannon fodder. Not to mention unless you're a collector of various things people don't just have guns and swords laying around. As for sitting around for weeks at a time in a "safe" place. Not gonna happen if I ran it. You wouldn't be the only survivalists in the area and if I wanted to get mean I'd make mutations in the zombie stuff(if it was caused by medical shit like Resident Evil) |

This is dumb, and you're dumb for even bringing such a half-baked idea to the table. If you want to legitimately post an RP idea, spend some time thinking about it before you just 'herp derp i liek zombies guize lolol' all over the board, k? This is nothing but a waste of time. |

Kaze if you actually invested some time and effort into this idea, and gave us something that was worth talking about, like an outline for a plot, or a setting, or anything, it might be a different story. What I'm not okay with is how you had this spur of the moment decision, and thought it was important enough to bring up to all the rest of us. It's common knowledge that our community ((Thos of us who came from LS at least)) is more than a little ADD, and I just don't want to see two RPs going at the same time, then watch both of them die because no one cares enough to keep either of them going. All I really want is to actually finish an RP for once, and I'm liking where Knights of Logres is going. There's nothing wrong with new Rps, just be more selective with your timing, and actually put some thought into it if you want to be taken seriously. |

Let me ask it another way than everyone else, Kaze do you have an idea beyond "I wanna do a survival horror RP with zombies" plot, setting etc wise? If you do I think everyone here would love to hear it. While jerkass attitudes aside, if you have an idea we'll most likely listen and depending on the quality and level of interest it might work out. Would you mind telling us again (in detail) what your idea is now that you've heard some of the ideas and feedback from the topic at large? |

To be honest it'd be more like a mini-rp that runs whenever Onime goes "Ah life is hard man!" and isn't posting in KoL. I've recently been watching a lot of zombie things, mainly Lets Plays and have been thinking about doing a zombie rp. It would start relatively early in the infection, which would be science related. Why science? Because I hate it when it "just happens" with no explanation. Modern setting would work best, you guys would get to decide where it takes place, since I only know my local areas. I'm a bit of a hardass when it comes to things. So unlike what Onimer said, you guys wouldn't be blowing through things with unlimited ammo or eternally sharp weapons. I'm a fan of certain zombie games such as Resident Evil, where the zombies mutate just to fuck survivors over. You're all free to add your own things by the way. A basic outline of the idea would be that some chemical, I don't know what yet so throw out a name, was accidentally released in water thanks to a plane crash. Storm, faulty tech, whatever. Now the water wouldn't be what spreads it, no that would be the good old(annoying as fuck) mosquito. No the virus/chemical doesn't make things super sized unless it was mutated to that size. So the skeeters spread it, animals and people alike, in the local area. I'd say it started in a middle of no where area before spreading out thanks to mosquitoes and the various wildlife. I'd say it'd spread out fairly quick from there. Where's the military? Local barracks is already infected so no one knows about it yet until someone sends out a panicked call. But by then it'd be to late, that state would be lost and continue its infection of the other states around it. Why can't they stop it? they don't know it was originally spread by mosquitoes, while they can take out the people zombies and whatever wildlife zombies there are, the mosquitoes just keep spreading it to more and more people. Namely the soldiers that keep coming to kill the zombies. And just icing on the cake, the government is actually keeping it hush hush to the media doesn't fuck everything up by telling the world what's going on. I don't particularly know where this would all start, could be the coasts, could be dead center of the continent. Hell this could happen all over the place(the initial spreading) so the other countries aren't just going to go "Bomb the U.S!!!" |

So basically a "the world is fucked, how long until you die too" RP? Eh, not really my cup of tea. I'm out then. |

Well you can live, it's not really that hard. Bug spray and such can keep off the skeeters if you figure out it's them. Although I'm not really going to let you guys camp in a single safe zone. The zombies are going to be attracted to noise more than anything else so gunshots and generators will lure them to you. And since it's a science made thing, yeah there could be a cure. I won't be driving the thing myself(I'm a busy guy and I'm sure you guys can not be Rambo) |
