Zombie Survival Roleplay Notes & Rules

[Deizibug]

This thread is seriously under construction right now...Just jotting down some ideas for the time being.

"Dungeons & Dragons" type roleplay. (More specifically, I'm taking a lot from the World of Darkness system. Using World of Darkness Character sheets, and such.)
Wake up in hospital? Unsure of your own identity
Figure out clues to "guess" your identity.
Learn that the world is overrun by zombies
Try to reach the CDC/An assumed Safe Zone
Party members can and will likely die.
There may or may not be a true Safe Zone.
Game-master makes any necessary dice rolls and larger posts every other day, to give players a little more time to get their post in.
I may make a character as well, to 'teach' people how to play...or a small tutorial. I won't leave you guys wondering how the heck to play. <3

If you have any ideas/suggestions/flames post 'em here!

*When speaking out of character, please use the double parentheses. (( Like this ))

One question: how much zombie movie knowledge can we be assumed to have... as we're not really sure if our identity would be zombie movie buffs or not

[Deizibug]

Oooh, good question. I'll say a general knowledge. "Zombies are slow moving, want to eat your brains. Bash their heads in".

That sort of thing. Whether or not that will all be accurate though...I can't say. But, that'll be the extent of your characters knowledge. I may have one person who's a huge movie buff, but that will be communicated via PM if I do that.
