I've always enjoyed the randomness a GM provides. It's a lot harder to have your character fail something on purpose then to try something and react to the gm's call. Especially with a couple NPCs ingrained in the mix.

Though it seemed like the time in the warehouse before the storm was relatively uneventful, depending on whose around maybe we could do some roleplaying of that time skip. I don't think we lost anyone and since nothing happened that seemed to be noteworthy it might work as a PC only run section.

Sorry for the slow response Hank,
I'm down and out with Covid at the moment.

I'm definitely down with your idea.
If the other folk are game for it we can kick something off there.
I don't know all the ins and outs of your stories, having been an early player myself.

Posting to keep things active.

Well it’s been a while since I’ve said anything; partly due to health problems and partly because I thought this game had died. However if people want to give this another crack then I would suggest we just create a new thread and put Dominic, Hank and anyone else that shows up, walking down the road looking for a new home after the events of the last time we played and take it from there.

I can’t promise to be the most active of players however if you need help with storylines I’m happy to help out.

I'm happy to open a new thread and start a new story.
We could run it the way the original Zombieland did as a free-form roleplaying with the GM merely inserting interesting events,.

Sure, sounds good to me.

It would do just to get the ball rolling, if we decide we need a more hands on approach later on I could always step in as a Co-GM and help with NPCs etc, but for now I think we just need to start writing again.

Well…that’s looking pretty interesting. You’ll have to bare with me as I’m currently on holiday in the Scottish highlands so I don’t have a lot of time or signal at the moment.

Glad you liked it.
Take your time.  There's no rush.  We've all waited a long time.
Let's settle in for a long-term campaign.  Zombieland isn't going away anytime soon.  :)

Out of interest has anyone considered dropping Katherine and Lorenzo a PM to see if they're interested in joining in? The more the merrier and all that.

Absolutely.  Zombieland was always open and inviting.
I'll do that now.

Would Tom have been scooped up as well, or were we just a two person scouting party?

This is the starting point of the story.
If you want Tom to be in it, then he is.
New beginnings, it can be whatever you need it to be.

With that in mind, I may have Dom go in search of Isabelle

Sorry, only just saw the Rmail! Haven't been around the site much, but I''d be down for becoming active in this game again for sure. Hope you've all been well during the intermission

Don’t worry about it, we’ve only been up and running for around a week. I’m not too bad thank you for asking I hope you’re doing good also, had some health problems at the back end of last year but things seem to be settling down again.

Well unless the GM has anything special in mind I’d say you’re waking up in a cell like me and Hank.

Yay, more peoples. If you're interested feel free to take the cell Hank bumped into if you're on our floor. Or any other cell, whatever floats your boat.

In reply to Lorenzo (msg # 70):

Hey Lorenzo,
The new thread is set.  Just write yourself into the opening scene.

Ok, so I'm assuming this is sometime after the trading post. Since we probably aren't going to play through what happened after Wyoming told us it was under attack by zeds, how do we want to summarize the aftermath?

It seems we either saved the post and dealt with the Lost Boys, and we're either peaceful or at least neutral with them. Or the post is lost and we just moved on.


It seems most of the NPC's were tied to the missing GM's, but if the post is lost then it's likely Kaiden and several of their leaders would be dead. Which leaves the question of Wyoming. Hank's vote would have been to let him stay with the group, or at least give him the option if he survived the rescue attempt.

If we saved the post:
Were we just scouting for supplies to bring back to it?
Was the city nearby and we were looking to maybe settle down for a little and have a trading relation with them?

The intro I used is intentionally generic, so that it can easily have happened at the same time as the zed attack on the trading post, leaving the Lost Boys as well as the attack an unknown.

That’s cool, means we can piece it together as and when it’s needed. On a side note, where the obits are concerned, Sakachewen was killed by Dom with a sword (msg 82, chapter 6) along with Orleans…Sighs…I miss that sword.

I'll have to go read that!
Thanks for the link, I'll put it in.

I'll post tonight. Am I good to just pop in?

@Lorenzo:
Yes, this is the idea of the opening thread.
You are all on the same level, open doors, trying to figure out what is going on, etc.\

Hey folks, new player here!

What would be a good 'entry point' into the story?
