Survivor's Stories OOC

[Tsai]

The researchers start as a team and a predefined set of objectives from the get go, but they also start in the most dangerous part of the city. I doubt the survivors will be seeing each other quickly it'll probably be a while before you form a group and theres even a chance that you'll never see each other

Alright i think i've kinda made up my mind about the PC list and i think it'll be more fair to just let all 11 characters in for now, after the initial 11 there wont be more than 8 though

[Albedo28]

Very generous of you. I look forward to it ^_^

[Nobudi]

Awesome. Can't wait for this insanity to unfold.

[Tsai]

Okay! PC list has been updated, will add the rules about the safehouses at a later date, any new applicants will be placed on the reverse list after review. The Opening post will be tomorrow at around 1 PST

[Tsai]

For the next four days I may not be able to access the internet, I just wanted to let you know so you didn't have to wait for me or anything.

[spitfyre]

Change of plans I will be able to do late night posts

[Tsai]

Post is up, sorry for the long wait, lots of stuff happening

[Albedo28]

I leave whether or not I see anything up to the dice (or GM decision). Also, what's the "Dark Thoughts" modifier about? What scenario causes that to show up?

[Tsai]

The dark thoughts modifier comes from Adrianna's infection levels. It's just there everyone with more than 5 infection has the modifier and is affected when a zombie makes a sexual advance. The +5 is a result of dark thoughts, if she didnt have it then the stress damage wouldnt of been so bad

Also as a note i hope everyone is keeping up with their inventories. in their own ways somehow.

[Albedo28]

Thanks for the quick answer ^_^

Sorry if it's written down and I skipped over it like a fool ._.

[Tsai]

It's written down in the infection statuses tab.

Speaking of which I updated equipment a bit to let you guys know how much a backpack can carry in terms of items as well as in relation to hoarders. Your Cses are also updated with your most inventory. If there's a inconsistency just let me know and I'll fix it. And if you find New items that weren't in the equipment list I'll give you the point rating for that. Also just because it doesn't count weapons and stuff you aren't gonna be a walking arsenal either. I might give you a few more weapons than you can carry but pure gonna have to make the choice of whether or not to keep them. At most you'll have 1 maybe 2 primary arms and 2 secondary and that's at most and isn't likely to happen unless you were looking for a gun store. Or something.

Hey guys! I just wanted you guys to know I'm implementing a system to gain exp that's a bit more straight forward than me just handing it out when something happens. This way it isn't as arbitrary. For now it's just the Goals System.

Basically you will give yourself a 3 goals your survivor would want to complete. And depending on what your goal is then I'll give you experience based on difficulty of that goal. Like say "set up a level 1 safe house." Is a difficult goal but if you complete it's worth 1000 exp. a goal like "Kill x number of zombies" will be much less but doing it enough will supplement your overall gain. Now again just because goals exist doesn't mean I won't hand out exp for doing just stuff in the world as well. This system just acts as a way for the mechanics to drive the player towards something they would like to complete or see. Though you can try not to set unrealistic goals like "set up a level 4 safe house/ a stronghold" think about ways to break down these goals into something incremental and manageable.

As for researchers you get exp from completing missions. But that doesn't stop you from setting goals as "complete mission A of complete mission B" that way you get a bit of bonus xp on top of the mission xp. Goals just give you an idea of what to prioritize.


So with that in mind Id like everyone to give me at least 2 goals but up to 3 max goals. Also you're free to change your goal if you feel it doesn't look like it'll work out. But I'd ask you to pm me your new goal as you do this. And try not to swap goals extremely often.

[Nobudi]

Should we post our goals here or put them on our sheet? And if we manage to take one off the bucket list, could we put a new one?

[Tsai]

Post them here or Pm me, and yes if you complete one then you can put a new one.

Edit: Goals are repeatable, like mostly this will apply to "Kill zeds" goals, since they offer very little exp, but after a while i will force you to either bump up the number from like 10 to 15 or 20 or so because i would imagine the more you kill the more your character will feel that less will be less of a challenge and no longer a worth goal. Also i updated the character sheets with the goals i approved and gave them their exp values.
