Where were you when the the end began?

It was late spring of 2022 when the unthinkable happened: the bodies of the recently deceased began to rise.

No one could say where it started or what caused it.  Early reports seemed to hint at an origin somewhere in the major cities along the eastern seaboard of the US but no one could pinpoint exactly where.  Determining a cause was just as problematic, especially when initial symptoms mirrored those of the flu or common cold.  Once things really started to escalate, rumors started to abound tanging from radiation from space to chemical spills to terrorism.

Many of those not infected tried to band together for protection, hunkering down in homes or retreating to emergency shelters.  They stockpiled food and supplies, they reached out to one another to offer support.  Others decided to take advantage of the chaos, seeing the thinly stretched and quickly dwindling supply of police and military as a call to loot and riot, reveling in their more primal natures.

Still others straddled the line.  They collected friends and family, they stockpiled supplies and weapons.  They fortified their little slices of heaven and warned all outsiders to stay away as they hunkered down, seeking to weather out the coming storm.

Which were you?  A simple survivor trying to make it day to day?  An agent of chaos thriving in the turmoil carnage that seethed around them?  A hunkered down prepper who stood stalwart and ready as the winds of change blew?

Or just someone who was hopeful for a brighter tomorrow?

The Dead Will Walk The Earth is a semi-free form game stressing co-operative writing and world building.  While we will be using a 'lite' version of Eden Games' All Flesh Must Be Eaten.  These rules will primarily be used for comparative purposes and to occasionally add a little chaos and randomness to high-tension, dramatic moments.  For the most part, the results of actions will be handled cooperatively between the GM and players.

Don't know the rules?  Don't worry!  Writing and storytelling are FAR more important than character builds.  The GM will work with anyone interested in joining to help ensure they not only get to play the character they are looking to play, but get to explore this brave (and terrifying) new world!

Please Note: This is an 'Adult' rated game for all the same reasons that a movie would be rated 'R': Violence, Gore, Language, etc. so on and so forth.  All RPOL rules and guidelines will be followed.

This is going to be a moderately to fast paced game - unforeseen circumstances aside, the GM will be able to post multiple times per week.  This does NOT mean every post will be to drive the story forward.  Nor does it mean that players will be expected to post every day.

Still looking for a few victims survivors to join the struggle!  We've started a brief 'prologue' phase with our initial cast and would LOVE to add to their ranks.  Once we have this portion done, we'll be moving on into 'Day 1'.

Again, while we are using the All Flesh Must Be Eaten rules for comparative/base-line purposes, the majority of this game will be done through free-form, cooperative writing.

So... if you're looking to run from the ravenous horde of the living dead, band together with fellow survivors and forge a future from the ashes of the old world... SIGN UP TODAY!

We've got a GREAT cast so far!  Still looking for more to join the struggle!  We've got the game movie, with people building up to the inevitable outbreak.

Come see where you fit into this new world order!

Still rolling with a GREAT cast of survivors that are just now starting to find out that the world is dawning on a new day - a dark day.

We have some openings for new cast members and, as the proverbial undead mess is starting to hit the fan, this is a wonderful time to jump in!

Remember, this is semi-free form, with a focus on characters, story, and adventure.  Yes, we are using tules but those are a more laid back version and used for comparative purposes in most cases.  If you’re interested and have any questions, take a look at the RTJ and hit me up!

Just throwing out a general invite to see if anyone else is interested!  We have a good cast, we update fairly regularly - and it’s just starting to hit the fan out there!

Do you have what it takes to fight the hordes of the hungry dead?  Will you work with your fellow survivors?  Or are you out for yourself?

Looks like we may have 'lost' a few intrepid souls since our story has started!

Always looking for new survivors, though - those willing to test their mettle against the hordes of the walking dead.  Do you have what it takes to survive?  Or will you just end up as another member of the seemingly endless ranks of the hungry dead?

Reaching out to see if anyone is interested in joining our band of survivors!  First contact has been had by - well, pretty much everyone.  We’re still in the early hours of ‘Day 1’ and things are really starting to hit the fan.

We’ve lost a couple of players (I mean, these things happen when the world begins to descend into madness, right?) and we’re seeking more!

So tell me, are you interested in trying your luck against the hordes of hungry dead in this terrifying new world?

Much like the hoards that are starting to gather, this thread is resurrected!

You see what I did there?  Didja see?  Huh?  Didja?

We've been slowly pushing on through the holiday season and we're ready to expand!  Our hopeful survivors awoke to the find the day they faced was not the same one that existed when they went to bed.  They've fought, they planned, they've schemed.  Some have survived... and some have vanished.  Some may return - in one form or another.

Are you up to face the challenges of surviving in a world where the dead walk?  If so, join us!

We're about to a time-skip from 'Day 0' to the end of week one and we would love to have new victims survivors join us!
