Alright, because I have taken a leave from my senses, I am going to be running a breif game for the month of June.
It will be a SR4 game, and what we are looking at is a zombie survival/horror mood, theme and genre. As such it will begin with an outbreak, and go straight to hell on earth from there.
Expect PCs to drop like flies.
This IC thread goes up on the first of June. However, characters are allowed to join anytime, even after the game starts, if you post here and send me a character sheet.
There are always more survivors.
The game will be fast paced and bloody, but it will be wits that get you out alive, not brute force . weither you live or die shall be deturmind by how well you can think on your toes, adapt to circumstances, and keep yourself clear from the brain munching hoards. Doesn't matter if your a pure vat-job troll, eventually you will run out of ammo, and be swarmmed over.
P.S. I have a running grudge agienst the whole idea of fast zombies. The undead here will be brain dead shamblers, out to eat your flesh.
House Rules:
Edge refreshes frequently: zombie invasions keeps the adrenalin flowing.
Characters:
non-shadowrunners and fine, we're all in this together
SINner quality now worth 0 points, criminal SIN 5.
Faces are not recogmended: Zombies don't negotaite
To all hackers and Technomancers: I have no promises as to how long the Wireless Matrix will hold up.
To magic users: you can bet that the gore and violence is going to reverberate across the astral space....
To all vat-jobs: A wonderful suprise.... [insert ominous laughter]
you can have 1 item at availability 16.
email me character sheets at divinekinhunter@gmail.com
Please raise your voice here is you want to play, plus post a character teaser here.
CHeers and smiles

Hehe, this sounds fun. Expect me to be in, but expect my pc to die, I probably wonīt build a shadowrunner (an action-sim starlet from cheep zombi-B-sims, maybe ;p).

I WANT TO BE IN THIS GAME!
I will do whatever it takes. I am a zombie genre MANIAC. Seen every movie, read every single book there is.
I'll have a character in as soon as I can. I am definitly going for a none shadowrunner.

Mwahahahaaa, this sounds fun.
I'll have a concept for you soon.

I shouldn't do this, I really shouldn't...but I can't resist. I love the zombie genre way too much, and I don't give a crap what system the zombie game is in, I must participate.
Mmm...zombies...mmm...
How much background do you want DV, and are these standard 400BP characters?
Divine Virus

OK, a few more house rules, things that just occured to me
I'm lifting the requirement for having at least 2 contacts. No contacts required
Now, if there are mulptile people playing paranoids who have been prepairing for the zombie invasion (you know the type), then you have to have known each other before the outbreak started, and have made plans to work together in case somthing like this ever happened. This is just because the chances of two anti-zombie paranoids randomly running into each other at the start of an outbreak is too unlikely. I will of course lift this band for any people joining the game sufficiently late into it.

/me is big into the zombies. I *love* them. Count me in. Expect char soon.

Okay here is my concept, I've got the sheet exactly like I want it, so all I have to do is work on background now. I took to heart what you said about ammo, and made her to where she doesn't need guns to kill things.
Stasia Miroslav- Adept Gunbunny? - Stasia was born in Saint Petersberg, Russian, and from the get go, her life attracted wierdness like a bar attracts drunks. When she wasn't having a heart to heart with a sentient sasquatch, she was in the ring, boxing. When she wasn't having lunch with her next door neighbor, who just happened to be a vampire, she was at the range practicing shooting. See, despite the fact that she was used to wierdness, it still freaked her out, and she wanted to be sure she could handle it.

My character might have been in touch with any anti-zombi-paranoids while prepairing for her next cast (wonīt be paranoid herself)
Divine Virus
May 28 2006, 04:52 AM
sounds good guys
WinterRat-> Standerd 400 BP characters, and I will put a 5 page cap on background, just because these characters have such a short life expectancy.

Hhmmm,
Non-shadowrunner: Mike, the pizza-delivery guy. Some driving skills (gotta get it there on time ya know) and a bit of general wackiness. Too tired right now to come up with the full sheet; however, you'll get it soon.

Definately gonna get in on this... I'm thinking old detective that doesn't trust technology seeing everything go to hell. Expect addiction to whiskey and use of a revolver.

The News thread is NOT for players to post it. Understood? good. I got three characters so far.
Dranem
May 29 2006, 04:41 AM
I'll be submitting a Dwarf copter rigger that will be going with a couple of other characters... the concept will be described on the character sheet as part of a Ares strike team.
I should have my character to you by no later than Wednesday, sorry but I'm working and I can only do so much character development here at work.

Just wondering DV, how many 'runner' vs. 'non-runner' characters do you have so far?
Rokur
May 29 2006, 07:09 AM
Sent in my char. All around amazing Gabriel!
Religious man, who grew up raised on a catholic urban mission. He was an easy convert, but actually did study his religion. He quickly became a man of faith, if not complete morals (he is willing to kill people in the line of duty) part of the KE firewatch team. He'll be a center of attention if the Undead eat their own dead.... (that kinda sounds funny to me) but otherwise he'll be the center of the corpses trying to help evac the still innocent souls.
Gabriel is a big male Troll, that totes the HK MX30... the one man army gun.. and He recites prayers from the bible as he fights. Figured it would be fun to play a "paladin" of sorts going up against the Undead.

My character is the invincible Ace Nova. He's a rockabilly KE Firewatch team member, in a full suit of armor, packing a shotgun and a grenade launcher. He's a heavy smoker, and a heavy drinker, and a hard rocker.

Wow, I've been getting an flood of characters... keep em comeing.
As for runner/nonrunner, it seems like the non-runners are takeing the lead. Infact, I don't think I have one clear-cut runner yet, though I wouldn't be suprised if a few dabbled.
(if I am mistaken, I'm sorry, I've only had a chance to glance over the characters so far).
I notice we have two members of the KE firewatch Team. Are you two going to know eachother then? Or will this be random coincidence? please work somthing out.
Rokur
May 29 2006, 02:14 PM
If you don't mind. I think we'd definitely like to be members of the same team. So we can work as a "team" to get them out. I think Dranem was going to join us on the team, and we were gonna work together having a semi-shared history and be a pre-established team. IF that's ok with you DV.

I've been having a touch of email problems. I sent a neo-anarch by the name of Dynamite Girl your way. Did you get her?
Fresno Bob
May 29 2006, 05:48 PM
Yeah, Dranem is making the rigger for our KE Firewatch team.
Divine Virus
May 29 2006, 10:57 PM
Thats fine with me. and yes, I did get dinamite girl, no worries.

DV - I'll have the character sheet for you by sometime tonight, just fyi.

Leave the internet for one extended weekend and I almost miss out on an awesome game.
I'll shoot a character sheet and rough background over today if I'm not too late. I love the paladin idea someone else mentioned, but a little different. I'm thinking a runner that works for the catholic church like Van Helsing (the recent movie version) who happened to be in the city on church business.

I might be interested. It's been a looong time since I played Shadowrun online, an a game like this might be a good refresher. Will you be awarding karma to players which they can use in-game, or will it not be covering that much time?
Divine Virus
Jun 2 2006, 03:52 AM
I don't really forsee it streaching across a long enough timeline. however, what I MIGHT do is about a month or so after this game ends is start another one, same setting, advanced along the timeline some. Survivors from this game would then receive extra karma to spend on their characters.

Sorry, I wonīt submit a character to this game anymore, as I donīt want to get into too many games and not be abled, to dedicate appropriate time and energy to them all.
Have fun being slaien and eaten everyone, anyway

Alright, I'm making a character. I'm thinking I'll go with a mage of some sort. Should have it done tomorrow.
