As my schedule has cleared up and The Walking Dead has rekindled my interest in this, Rie and I are going to be giving this another shot. We're going to tweak things a bit to make it more user friendly for those of you too lazy to use a map. We're going to do something different this time in allowing everybody to contribute to the story, so long as it doesn't get stupid (Such as RE type monsters or psychic powers or some shit). This IS NOT a Dead Rising RP. It does not take place in Willamette and Zombrex or Phenotrans DO NOT exist. This will be a standard tale of survival in a cruel, undead world.
With all that out of the way, allow me to post the orignal Fog Glen topic and discuss a couple of things Rie and I talked about last night.
Okay kids. Ace has said this new RP here that I'm going to tell you about is pretty much mine, so I guess that means I'm the boss! Yaaaay! Ahem, anyway...
We're going to be using the map >>here<< as the town where this RP will take place, and we're just going to use the place names to save time. This town however, is called Fog Glen, a small town versus the larger ones we've had before.
Okay, there will be a main group, which will more than likely be the 'good' guys, and they will be starting out in Southvale. The 'evil' people can do whatever they want. Everyone's characters need to be at least semi-close, so no farther than Southvale's pet store. One of the main problems of previous RPs was that everyone got so spread apart that there wasn't much left for interaction.
Eventually the main group will need a base, and that will be the hospital.
Aside from that, there is a cult in this RP, since cults are always fun. The cult will not be met until a bit further into the town.
That's all there really is for now. The source of the zombies will be a secret for a while in this RP, but there is a source.
Also, character transfers from previous RPs are allowed, since I know the island RP kind of died horribly and sometimes you just like your old characters. New characters are also welcome, naturally.
As you can tell I didn't bother relinking the maps at the moment, but I will in a future post. The map is actually the first thing I'd like to discuss. We will be using it, but not in any strict fashion. It serves merely as a guideline, so changes for the plot will be considered. Another thing I'd like to note is that the setting of Fog Glen will not be permanent if this thing takes off. We all know the same setting will get boring after a while, so the group will eventually move on, but not before utilizing the setting to its fullest.
Another thing I'd like to note is that the rule regarding the characters pretty much sticking together will still be in effect. Back in Alt Zday, we had at least three different groups at one point, with various stragglers as well. This KILLS RPs, so it must be nixed.
Lastly, Rie and I will discuss more about how the thing will start in the next day or so. I don't know if the group will still start in Southvale or if the hospital will still serve as the main base. Details like that will be decided in due time.
On a note somewhat unrelated to the RP, I'd like to pull the site away from the Dead Rising theme, such as changing the banner and such. If you read this, Veta, I'd like you to show me how to modify the prologue on the main page. Ace and I will then discuss how we'll change this stuff.
That's all for now, folks.
