OOC- Zombie Apocalypse Chapter 2- General Discussion

Speaking of examining things, here is something that a few of you should be considering.

Those few- historians, zoologists, biologists, doctors, biologists, hunters, specialists on infectious diseases.....

(1) Has anyone noticed that the non-human zombies are all carnivores. Could this be why we haven't seen any zombie cows? zombie sheep? Rats and dogs/coyotes- are some of the critters spreading the "infection".

(2) Speaking of infection, how many of you are aware of "what to do in the event of plague vis-a-vis disposal of bodies."

Let me add a comment that today's human, once bitten can become tomorrow's zombie, which, if shot through the head, might become some other critter's next meal, which might lead to.....
 
Yes, this is something very important for your characters to consider. Zoology, Biology, and Natural History would all be valid skills to roll against for some insight on why certain animals are becoming zombies and what to do about it. You may also want to think about what other creatures might go zombie and how to defend against them. Keep in mind that you've slain hundreds of zombies, but now all those bodies are just lying around.

Steve, note that Jim Kerr has not yet finished reading the journal. He can't run down the hall and read the rest of it at the same time. Also, it's not entirely clear which way he's going: to the reception area, or towards the guard room and deeper into the facility?

From his Idea roll, Jim can gather that Captain Duffy was becoming increasingly unhinged as time went on. Also, he remembers the letter signed by "Tony" they found in the barracks with the picture of the woman. This is most likely the Anthony King mentioned in the July 12th entry who had slit his wrists, which would explain why the letter was never delivered. Might the bloody knife they found under Duffy's bed be the one King used to kill himself?
 
Now Mr Handy! I can read and drive at the same time! Just Kidding I am really a safe driver and only read when I am going down the interstate at 75 MPH :shock: No but really I changed Jim Keers action this time so he is staying in the office to continue reading.
 
Let me add, as part of the metanarrative of this story- that there is probably a laboratory below. Such a laboratory might be useful to your more scientific characters.

How did those rats become zombies?
How did those coyotes become zombies?
 
Here's another thought- Considering that the trapdoor down into the detention center was blown away, anything or anyone that gets past the shooters on the roof could get down into the detention area (essentially your rear area). Some kind of a gateway might help keep your people in the detention area safer.
 
Thanks for editing, Steve.

Players may want to take note of what defenses already exist in the detention center that you can use. Though the place was designed to keep people in rather than to keep zombies out, there are still things that can work both ways.

Muff has let me know that he'll be delayed starting due to problems in real life, but he does intend to join us when he's able. In the meantime, I'll continue to run his characters with whatever input he gives me for them.

I'm still waiting on Stompie and Helbent4 to post. I'll be able to update again after at least one of them posts, or this weekend at the very latest.
 
Hey dudes I am hoping to join this RP when I am OK Mr.Handy and Welsh know the full story and I don't want to explane it to every one.

If we start a new chapter can we include my chaicter. I will post in OT but as welsh and mr.handy know I am not fit to carry on a differant personality because I would have to take more green meanies to cope and that is the last thing I need.
 
It'll be a long time before we start Chapter 3, especially since we're slowing down a bit now. Some characters will probably be introduced later in Chapter 2, though it's still likely to be a while. I'll introduce your new character at that time.
 
Handy- this is wrong-
(Lewis, roll Sanity. If you fail, lose 1d10 Sanity, but treat any result of more than 8 as 8 since you've already lost 2 points for seeing a zombie recently. If you lose 5 or more Sanity, roll Idea - if you succeed, you go temporarily insane.)
Click to expand...

No. What happens if you lose 5 points of sanity is that the player then rolls idea. If he passes the Idea roll, then he goes temporarily insane for recognizing that the world is nuts.

If he fails the idea roll, he does not go temporarily insane but merely represses the memory- storing it for next time he goes batty.
 
No biggie, Welsh.

I've been reading CtrlAltDel for a while now, ever since someone posted about the Fallout-related strips they ran. I even went back to the beginning and read most of the way through the older strips.

I tried the quiz and, like 62% of everyone who took it, I'm a kickass zombie fighter and I got a cookie.

Fearlessfred, you should go ahead and roll 1d10 for Sam Black's Sanity loss. If the result is 5 or more, then roll Idea for him. If he succeeds, he goes temporarily insane. If he fails, he stays in control of his faculties - for now. Unfortunately, Sgt. Black is too smart for his own good, as his Idea score is 90%.

Monday's a holiday, so if people post up by then I should have time to update. Otherwise it'll be later in the week.
 
Steve, Thayer already killed the zombie that had run out of the grass before Lewis had a chance to react. You should edit your post, and Lewis is free to take a different action if you wish.

EDIT: The IC thread has done something weird. The link to page 15 says something like "There are no posts for this topic" but the last post I made is at the end of page 14, and everything looks intact. Hopefully this will fix itself the next time someone replies to that thread.
 
hey guys. Got into a little bit of a fender-bender with some drunk ass hole. Got T-boned by some old bastard. Broke my left index finger. Bruised ribs, little bit of a bump on the head. I'll try to get around to posting. (Can't do anything other than, damn it)
 
Ouch! I hope you get better soon.

Once you have posted, I'll go ahead with the next round, but take all the time you need. I expect to have extra time on Tuesday night, but I should still be able to update on Wednesday. I'll be busy Thursday and Friday, though. If you'd like me to make any or all of the rolls for Hockey, let me know. He can shoot at up to two zombies with a burst from the SAW (with each target requiring a separate roll to hit).
 
I'm not too pissed. I'm a little agravated bechause as a senior, I'm supposed to solo tomarrow night (for Jazz Band); But I'm incapable of playing bass. (little personal grievance)

I refuse to take the pain killers (Valume) given to me. I would wrather cope with the pain, then poison myself.

I went ahead and posted up the best I could.
