Re: Zombie Apocalypse Survival the RTD! Open to all
« on: October 02, 2017, 11:56:23 pm »

Premise: You are strangers who happen to be in close proximity to each other in a generic suburban shopping mall. Then the screaming started. Panic is in the air. The crowds feel the sudden urge to rush for the exits!

System: This is a Vanilla RTD with zombies.
1 - Epic failure - you trip over your own feet, slide on puddle, then tumble down a flight of escalators into the waiting zombie horde.
2 - Normal failure - you trip over your own feet and land face first on a hard concrete floor
3 - Partial failure. - you run, but can't keep up with the group. The chasing zombies start singling you out as the weakest prey in the herd.
4 - Generic Success - You run away, the chasing zombies single out some other poor sod lagging behind as their target, you have enough breathing space to maneuver if you need to.
5 - epic success - You run as if your life depends on it and put considerable distance between you and the pursuing horde
6 - overkill - As you sprint pass some bystanders you knock over a mother with a baby, who falls down a flight of escalators into a waiting zombie horde.

Survival notes:
You need to consume food and water to survive. We will sort of track this.

AoshimaMichio asked me to post his sheet for him, because he's at work and can't log in to B12.

Name: Vladimir Putin
Occupation before the Apocalypse: President of Russia
Appearance: It's like god distilled the essence of manliness from tiger and bear testicles, decided the result wasn't good enough, threw it out the window, and then handcrafted a man that transcended manliness as we know it.
Personality: The essence of calm badassery.  He's so badass that when he looks at explosions, they immediately stop to avoid breaking the laws of the universe.
Professional Skill(s): Badassery and Conquest.
Hobbies: Bear riding, gun-kata, and funky dancing.
What do you have in your pockets: Makarov pistol, combat knife, and an entire grizzly bear already outfitted in full riding tack.  What, you think Putin couldn't fit a bear in his pocket?  Are you willing to tell him that to his face?

Still accepting sheets. Will edit you into sanity though.

Much less active than I used to be on these forums, but I still visit them on occasion. Will probably resume my activity in full once Dwarf Fortress will be released on Steam.
