Title: Cataclysm: Dark Days Ahead. (Try not to die?)

So this is going to be a suggestion run C:DDA game. Every ten movements (subject to revision.), I will take a screenshot and post it, as well as any menus I feel like it would be a good idea to post.

This will be entirely forum driven, unless you use the specific command of "Improvise." I will do what the players state. Combat will be turn by turn, and if I see anything interesting anywhere ingame, I will stop moving and update.

This will be story driven hopefully and if any of the players have an idea for a absolute goal that is completely unachievable ingame then let me know so I can work that into the story.

Every time you die, I will load up the same world and we will try again from there.

I will be legitimately surprised if this character lasts past the first day.

Any important decisions will be done via a poll.

Soooo character creation:

Stats (These can only be increased temporarily with drugs or permanently with CBM's or Mutations. Some items have random effects with stats but are unreliable, you may want to put lots of points into here, I recommend at least 12 for perception so you can see all the traps.):

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Good Traits (These help and do various things, I usually get a lot of these.):

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Bad Traits (These give more points in exchange for negative traits, some of them can be considered free points as NPC's are disabled, I usually get a lot of these.):

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Professions (Choose one, it defines starting gear and in some cases it gives you skill points, if you pick Otaku then I will give you an extra two points for balancing.):

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Skills (1 point for two levels, three more points for another two levels. I don't see why you would want to do that or put points in here at all since you can learn them all given enough time.):

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Description (Name and Gender basically, if you want a physical appearance then throw that in also.):

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Have fun, try not to die.

This will be updated whenever I have time.

If this should be in the Lets Play section then move it or let me know so I can move it. I really have no idea where it should be.

((Random Number God decided on Survivor McDorf.))

((Just so you peeps know, we are using Dynamic Spawn Mode and no NPC's.))

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Uuuugh...
Where the hell am I?
Oh.. Right. An Evac Shelter.... Last night was hell on wheels..
So... did anybody else get to the shelter?
Maybe I should check in the basement..
Lets see what I have with me first though.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Oh good. I have most of my gear with me.
Now what should I do?

((Feel free to submit more characters, as soon as Survivor McDorf dies, the Character Templates will be listed and you peeps will get to choose which one you want to use.))

First look in the basement.

Second look out side for a rock, then smash up a locker with it and make a crude crowbar.

Looks like they have quite a bit of stuff on them.
I don't think they'll need it anymore.
Should I make my crowbar first though?
Maaaybe I should look at my map well I'm at it.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

A parking lot, two liquor stores, several grocery stores, an electronics store, a gas station, two radio stations, and a shitton of houses.

Also a cave to the west and a forest to the northwest.

((I'm gonna go with Nav's plan and grab a little bit more that I think would be a good idea, also I'm gonna get rid of the useless crap, it'll be there when you get back if you want it later, I'm not sure if it is a good idea to waste time carrying corpses and useless stuff into a shelter you probably won't be using because it is so close to a city.))

LOOOOT!

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Got lots of stuff here!
Getting a bit hot so I'm gonna take off my Blazer.

I feel like looting a house now.

This looks like a good one.

Loot the nearby houses, avoiding zombie where possible.

((What release are you using? Any mods?))
Title: Re: Cataclysm: Dark Days Ahead. (Try not to die?)
Post by: ~Neri on April 15, 2014, 02:47:56 pm
((Update coming soon.))

((I am using the current stable build. I would rather not crash a bajillion times or suffer game breaking bugs involving my character randomly teleporting into a nearby tree and dying. [This happens extremely often when I play the current experimental build.)), I save every couple updates just in case though.))

((No mods either, I might add in mods at some point, feel free to recommend some, but for now, just the vanilla release.))

((Whenever they come out with a new stable version, I will use the current character until he dies and the new character will be done in the new build. Any new profession/stat/trait options will be added to the first post.))

((Also when they get around to doing scenarios, that will be an option also.))

((Judging by your startgame inventory, you're using the previous stable build. Otherwise, McDorf would've started with a flashlight and combat knife.))

Is there anything I really don't need?

((Odd, the C:DDA site isn't letting me on, I'll just keep refreshing and see if it works.))

Update may be delayed till Saturday, I'm going to hunker down and reinstall windows, OSX is too unstable for Cata and doesn't have the programs I need for Blackspace, when I reinstall, this will resume. And I hopefully will start Blackspace up again a few days after that as the lack of a functional art program will be resolved. I have a storyline set up for it and the rules are mostly fixed up.))
