This is where you can discuss your homework, family, just about anything, make strange sounds and otherwise discuss things which are really not related to the Lancer-series. Yes that means you can discuss other games.

TLR RPG Main Thread

Alrightie, last time we suffered from too many choices, too many options, and we got so focused into the semantics of it that we got no where. This is going to be a zombie story, but not in the traditional sense. I don't want the full bio when you start i want you to gradually show us your persona as the story folds out, like a book.

The story :
Humanity was on it's way to a new stage when the zombies first started. The world was stabilizing, and the environment was being treated with more respect then ever.
Then they came. Starting in china the virus quickly spread in a chain of refugees who were either uninformed or didn't care.
Soon the entire world was experiencing class 3 outbreaks on multipul fronts.
During this chaos however a change was slowly spreading as well.
People were walking along there normal days when they would find themselves having intiamate conversations with the plants around them, or picking up their coffe with their minds.
People were fearful of the changes however,
and people who had the ability were shunned. Slowly they began to realize that they were not welcome in society,
and there hide outs from the zombies became hidouts from "normal people"

With the world over run you are in one of the last remaining sanctuaries,
in a place where evolved and unevolved bicker over the food, where bandits roam and prey on the weak, where zombies mill about the world, where you are last, and only hope.

For the evolved:
Your person will start out in a refugee camp in northern canada first learning about their powers and how to control them.
Over time you will learn how to harness your strength and gain strength that can decimate entire armies, or you will fall prey to the menace and become humanities greatest fear.

For the unevolved:
Your person will start out in a refugee camp in northern canada learning how to deal with the life that you have been given.
You will learn how to fire a rifle, how to defeat a zombie in hand to hand combat, how to rally your allies, and how to lead an army. You will then be able to either push back the zombies
or you will fall prey to their onslaught and become one of the dead.
For both:
You must learn to cooperate or you will fall, the humans do not posess the firepower left to defeat the zombies and the evolved are the only thing that can hold a candle to previous technology,
however on the same token evolved numbers are small and they need the backing of the masses to recoup from using their might and protect them while performing time consuming powers.

The Facts
These are solanum zombies. Headshots will kill em but body wounds are no good.

Using your powers will drain your stamina.

I'm only going to allow 5 evolved right now at a first come first serve basis. Futher transformations will be done later in the storyline as i permit. you can however evolve midway through the game.

etc.
Bios
<pre><font size=1 face=Courier><font size=1 face=Courier>Name: Benjamin Polozune
Age: 13
Status: EVOLVED
Power: Wings(flight)
Relations: LIVING
Bio: Benjamin was one of the who that prepared for the zombie outbreak.
When the time came he hiked to the cold tundra and established a Outpost with a few refugees he picked up on the way.
His family though barely survived the first winter. Though young his expertise earned him a position of power in the camp.
One of the first things he did was make sure that all read and followed the survival guides advisories.

However when the change came he found the camp was split about his newfound powers. After an attempt on his life he and his supportes build a wall in the
middle of the camp and attempted to continue life like always.
The two sides however remained tense and were untrustfull of each other....

All evolved will migrate to our side of the fence.


IMPORTANT

I AM APOINTING TET THE POSITION OF MECHANICS GURU


Though i will chose when hostlies are encountered, and progress the story he will be in charge of all combat with hostiles and the like.


BTW i hope you like the story.


Let the games begin!

Sorry for the page widening,

Combat DM reporting for duty!

I'll use a character early on - typical Bioware-style expendable guy who explains the basics of combat system then dies a horrible death that will motivate everyone to kill all zombies as an act of vengeance... or not.

I'll use a heavily hybridised (and simplified) D&D combat system. Don't worry, this won't be a Mornington Crescent.



(Shroud, please IM or email me, there are a few things I'd like to clarify.)

EDIT: @v: Tsk, there's always one. I bet you know the rules too.

phooey, I like Mornington Crescent!

Post Thu Jan 04, 2007 12:04 pm

mornington crescent? how do you play?

Post Thu Jan 04, 2007 12:24 pm

focus people! Oh yeah i also forgot to say that evolutions are phisical manefestations, like increased eyesight, but having mirrored eyes like a cat because of it, stuff like that. all manefestations have a visible trait associated with it, that can most of the time be hidden. If you pick somthing outreagous, like horns(wtf?) it might be hard to cover that up.

Registrations please.

Shroud, can you fiddle your original post so it doesn't stretch three screens across? Ta.

My character as of now:
<pre><font size=1 face=Courier>Name: Trask Ulgo
Age: 34
Status: UNEVOLVED
Training: None
Power: None
Relations: Unknown
Bio: Nothing of note </font></pre>

...

Trask Ulgo?

Who's killing you, zombie darth bandon?

Post Fri Jan 05, 2007 3:52 pm

I don't know, that's up to you. I just see Trask as the epitome of meaningless characters designed to train the player then get out of the way once the story starts so that's why I named my character.

Post Fri Jan 05, 2007 4:29 pm

Alrightie then ulgo it is. Lets see some joining out there people!

Shroud, please email me whenever possible, I'm not sure exactly what you want me to do mechanics-wise.

Post Sat Jan 06, 2007 8:07 am

Is your email up to date? i sent a test email to you but i didn't get a response

Post Sun Jan 07, 2007 3:48 am
