Forums → The Tavern → The Great Panic- A Zombie Apocalypse
| 117 | 17724 |
I decided to make a forum RPG based on two popular zombie books, called "The Zombie Survival Guide" and "World War Z", written by Max Brooks and Three Rivers Press. This is a game that has the players telling about what they do each day in a Class 4 outbreak, or a world overrun by the zombie-creating virus Solanum, and already created zombies. You would give information on your "avatar"(character you play as) and then say where you would live and what your weapons are. You can team up with other players and make a colony, or be a loner, but either way, your choices effect what happens in your zombie-infested world.
You do not need to know about the the books this is based on, you just need to like RPG's, forum games, or zombies.
<Rules and Guidelines>
1. You control your choices and your character, but I control the zombies.
2. Your character must be an average human being. No futuristic items. No amazing abilities. No half-zombie crossbreeds.
3. You may have previous training with weapons, or military experience. You may also be in the military, but you may not have access to experimental weapons.
4. The game world is my world, and under my control, you just play in it.
Side Note: Only destrying the brain kills a zombie.
Note: Small= 6 inch - 2 feet, Mid-sized= 2-4 feet, Large/Long= 5 feet+
<Available Weapons>
(You may start with: 2 melee weapons; 1 firearm (gun); and either an explosive or fire source.)
>Melee Weapons<
(You may choose one melee weapon twice to dual-wield)
1. Dai-Katana Two-handed long katana
2. Katana Mid-sized razor sharp sword (think samurai sword)
3. Claymore Extra-long extra-heavy sword
4. Shaolin Spade(counts for two weapons) A six-foot long pole with a fanned blade on one side, and a crescent blade on the other end.
5. Mace A mid-sized club with a spiked ball on the end.
6. Battle-Axe A mid-sized weapon with a large, heavy axe blade on the end.
7. Spear/Javelin A 5-foot long pole with an 8-inch long spear tip. Can be thrust or thrown.
>Guns/Firearms<
1. Sniper Rifle Long range(up to 300 meters)rifle with scope. 25 pounds
2. All-Use Rifle Mid range (up to 100 meters accurate typical rifle. Weighs less than Sniper. 15 pounds
3. Assault Rifle Mid range, has automatic fire, but uses ammo quickly, and is harshly inaccurate over 50 meters. 20 pounds
4. Shot Gun Very short to short range (buckshot is very short (25meters) and a slug is short (50 meters)) harshly inaccurate. 15 pounds
5. Pistol Short range, quite inaccurate. 5 pounds
6. Crossbow Short range, silent, and comes with a scope. 10 pounds
7. Handbow Very short range, silent (miniature crossbow) no scope. 3 pounds
Note: You may have one fire sorce and one ignitable, or only one explosive.
>Fire sources and Explosives<
*Fire*
1. Matches 15 uses, reliable.
2. Lighter 15 uses, water proof.
3. Flint and Steel Unlimited, water proof, reliable, only creates a spark.
4. Blow Torch 60 uses, 1 use per second (average ignition time: 2 seconds) reliable, waterproof, but 2% chance of explosion.
^Ignitables^
1. Molotov Cocktails 5 uses, continual burning on surface hit.
2. Gasoline Dousing 10 uses, much like cocktail, but may spread to surrounding area.
3. Flamethrower Bolth a fire sorce and a ignitable, same rules as blowtorch. Weighs 70 pounds. 25% chance of splashback.
4. Aerosols (bodyspray) Same as blowtorch, 5 uses, stronger than Flamethrower and blowtorch, 50-75% splashback.
xExplosivesx
1. Fragmentation Granades 10 grenades, not very efective against zombies.
2. Claymore Mine 10 units, same as grenade, but in mine form.
If you would like to make a special request for a weapon, please ask me first.
<Inventory>
You start with:
1 months rations
5 days water
Shovel
2-way radio
8-inch knife (can double as a weapon)
5-inch knife
Throwing daggers (4)
Small hatchet (log-splitting, possibly weapon or throwing)
Machette (it's to dull to cut flesh, but can cut vines. Maybe if you sharpen it, it can cut flesh.)
Pickaxe
Lantern
Candels (3)
Other items can be given upon request, but ask first.
<Fortress/Living Quarters>
Please tell me where you want to set up your camp/fort (fort for multiple people) so I may take that into account, or if you want some help in chosing a good terrain, please feel free to talk to me.
Note: You do not need to know anything about the books this is based on, you just need to like RPG's, zombies, or Forum games.
This topic is the game! You are free to join in at any time, and the one thing that I require is that you come in ready to play, and ready to take down some zombies!
*Disclaimer*
I feel I must remind everyone to keep the described violence, gore, and mature material to a minimum, or at least have some warning of the content that you will describe. Language should be kept to a PG rating, so basicaly, if they beep it out on T.V., don't use it. Explicit sexual or adult material will, of course, be flaged, and your expultion from the game will be nessessary. All forum rules will be followed, and all activity will be monitored. However, please feel free to be creative in your responses, just don't reveal the "brutal details". Stabbing a zombie is okay, but don't say what else happens to it's zombie body. Please be creative in your responses, though.
Happy Hunting,

ya, and were gonna need a few people controlling the zombies if itachi isnt gonna be on
I'm on, but we need set times. I can't live on this site. I have a life outside of this stuff, so I can't be on all the time.
Yea times would be a good idea for the game it should be run by like three people, like mods, and Itachi is like head honcho and gives all the real orders...maybe just an idea though
Here's an Idea for a scedual:
Asherlee could be on in the morning, Itachi could do it later in the day (perhaps around the noon time) and (perhaps) Bigbowla later in the day. Or Asherlee could work on it in the afternoons, of she were so inclined to, and we could get someone else in the morning.
I myself would not be too reliable a source. I rarely get a chance to go on, what with a split schedual and all, but Thats just a thought on who could.

Description of Character
Build - 5 foot 6 inches, 150 pounds, a bit muscular, very fast and stealthy.
Before the zombie invasion he used to live on a farm. He had been living on a farm his whole life. He also is an avid hunter and camper, so he knows how to live off the land and he knows various tricks on how to survive. He also knows how to set traps. Currently he is living in an abandoned log cabin in the middle of a forest, The nearest city is 20 miles away. He had to flee his farm after it was overrun with zombies. For defenses of the log cabin, he has set up a fence around it made of wood with sharpened steaks pointing outwards (in hopes to impale any zombies attempting to get over the fence.) Also, all the windows have metal bars on them and the door has a sturdy locking mechanism. The amount of zombies in the area is moderate.
Is this ok to start the game with? if not, just tell me so i can fix it.
that starred out word in the character description is:
o u t w a r d s
i don't know why it is starred out....
Sorry for the triple post, but i forgot to mention that my character is a loner, until someone finds him or wants to team up, he is also not living with anyone, he is just on his own.

All that I have now are hopes. Logic dictates that everyone I know is either dead or out of the city were I shall never see them again. Keeping me alive, keeping me sane, is the terribly small chance that I might find a dear friend of mine...alive. I would rather die searching for someone I know is most likely gone, or die finding other survivors than take the short way out of the city and live with this hole in my heart.
I prepare to head into the city. I have hunting experiance and prior knowlage of my weapons. My only worry is that of my ability to use my axe as a weapon, seeing that I have never used it as such before.
My nerves are of steel and my fears are deeply hidden while confronted by enemies. Though fear shall not effect my ability, paranoia will. I hardly sleep, half because I am afraid of being ambushed in my sleep and the other half being the slight chance of finding a survivor, despite knowing that none are around.
----------Streangths and Weaknesses----------
My skills with a gun, above average. My abilities, hardened and hardly effected (but effected none the less) by fear. During the day, I am as paranoid as anyone else, during the night, I grow even more paranoid... feeling the need to continue on more than I know I should and jumping at every sound the wind makes. Im a dreamer, looking for people I know are gone untill I either find them or their dead corpse. It is not clear what my streangths and weaknesses are, but one can become the other in the flash of a second.
I personaly think that this game would work best in a live chat room. The ArmorGames chat has too many people who are not RPing in it though, but its not hard to find an empty room. The hard part is making sure everyone can join that room.
yeah, i agree, but that is not really probable, we just need the person who is controlling to zombies to come
We need a stable time, and with this amount of players, I'll need an assistant. If you would like to be second-in-command, please leave a post on this topic. I would appreciate the help. I'll set the next time at noon, AG time, so in 38 minutes after this post.
Steevo, you are surounded by 10 zombies shuffleing towards your area. What do you do?
