Extinction
"I shanked a zombie kid :thup:" –Miz

Everything seemed great just a few days ago. You were alive, you lived your day to day life, planning for the future and remembering the bad and good times in your past, but not anymore. Now you are only concerned about the here, the now, the present. Your running for your life, there is countless things around that can kill you now. Your friends, your family, everyone is nothing but mindless zombies.

There was an outbreak of an infection. People who were infected began to get distorted and change. They would morph, become creatures of nightmare and legend. Your vary sanity was at risk or being torn apart in this new world. Now you’re on the move, you want out of the city. But that’s not easy. Every turn there are new challenges waiting for you. Hopefully you can find more survivors and together you can get out of the city.

Though, not everyone wants to leave the city. There are groups settling in, building bases within the city, and just trying to live. They have supplies, and are reluctant to share, money has no value, if you want something, trade up or work for it.

Remember, nothing is impossible with dice. Just… Improbable.

Concept

I love DnD, its amazingly fun, and I love zombies. Who doesn’t love zombies? I came up with this idea of a game, the future is in ruins, and your survivors with hordes of zombies running around trying to kill you. Some might find things about the game confusing at first, but not be afraid, I am more than happy to help walk you through it, from start to finish! And I guarantee you, after a session or two you will have it all down pact! It becomes simple and amazingly fun!

You have a wide variety of skills, weapons, and defensive equipment to help fight off the zombie hordes, and all the skills are to help you survive! But Life is more than killing zombies, there are skills to help you do things like pick locks, save your ass in tight spots, or even help heal people with medical skills.

One of the more interesting things you will see is a Sanity Stat. Its simple, your sanity goes down if you witness and see lots of horrifying things. For example, if you see a zombie that’s been mutated beyond human recognition or watch someone torn to shreds, your sanity lowers. Once it’s run out your character goes insane. (This does not happen quickly or easily).

There is no ways for characters to be revived in this, when you die its permanent. Though, you should not be dying often, in fact, you will most likely be falling unconscious. (Which only lasts a few minutes usually). As well, when attacking you can aim at different body parts or just the target in general (This would generate a random body part to target) then you roll the dice to see if you hit them. The advantage to this is you can aim to shoot in the head (Which deals extra damage) or limbs (Which can disable that limb from any further use). It has great strategic value when facing opponents who use a dominant hand.

What To Do

Anything you could possibly want. You tell me what you want to try to do; I’ll tell you how to make it happen. The main advantage to having skills and dice rolling is that, just like in real life, you can’t do everything. And even with minimal skill with something, you can still perform amazing things.

Hell, I’m the one telling the story, but you are all the ones who will make it. Everything I tell you about the story, it’s told because you caused it. You looked into that cabinet to find the limbs. Really, you have control over the story more than I do. I’m just the guy sending zombies after you all in an attempt to kill you. That’s all.

If you are unsure if you would like it, just try it! See if you like it and if you want to continue or not. Nothing to loose is there?

What's Included

There is a wide variety of weapons, pistols, rifles, shot guns, heavy weapons (Rocket launchers, flame throwers), grenades/explosives, all types of melee weapons and even bows!

Ammunition is needed, but its not always just bullets! You can get ammunition for different things, hollow point, armor piercing, incendiary, long range, etc...

Armor is here, but you can wear two different gloves, or boots, there is helmets and body armor as well!

Modifications! Change your guns or armor. Add silencers, scopes, flash lights, or add in a chip to add a desired functionality!

Cybernetic Body Modifications! Yes, give your character cybernetic arms, legs, or add in a implant to your brain.

Items Include: Healing items and things to help ignore pain, drugs, cures to the infection, any anything else you could possibly want!

Addiction! You can just take drugs constantly, you will get addicted then have to go through withdrawal. But drugs often give you a boost to your skills!

Zombies! Lots of unique zombies to make things interesting.

Session Start at: TBA

There is only 3 requirements!
  • Have xFire: Through this program I can talk to you, and DM properly. If I did not speak, the game would progress far slower as my job involves lots of descriptions and explaining. Without this we would only get half as far a session (If that).
  • A program to roll dice (hundred of them, some on the web so there is no need to download): Simple. The game involves dice rolling. You roll dice for lots of things. If you want suggestions on good programs just ask me. Hell, if you happen to have the set of seven dice (4 sided, 6 sided, 8 sided, 10 sided x2, 12 sided, 20 sided) Then you can use those!
  • Enjoy it! It’s a game, treat it like one! Just remember if you are not their, you don’t get anything found or anything like that! So the more often you show up the more you get!
Any Questions at all, no matter what, just post or PM me. Or check out the Social Group!

Zombie survival you say? I call Louis!

(I might not have time to join for now but maybe in a couple of weeks if it doesn't end by then)

Oh, hopefully not untill the end of summer :p

And yes, I was highly influenced by L4D to do this :p

------------------------------------------------------

If you are interested in trying it out this saturday, Just let me know, and if you want a pre-rolled character (for trial) or to make your own.

If people can't find a dice rolling program, I quickly made one here.

here's a challenge for you.

4D12.

Have it so they can enter a number (The amount of dice) and then click on a button. IT will show the result for each roll and the total :p

Short Session today, but I enjoyed it. I found two antidotes (Which I needed because I am infected if you remember) and a bunch of other shit as usual.
As I am the only one who always takes risks and hordes everything he finds.

Ran into two zombies/creatures today, and I didn't get to Shank anything in the Head this session :(

Just to note: My dice rolling script is back online, here. I realised it was down and spent a while searching for it on my computer :p

If it's still open, I'll join.

Where can I get xFire?

  • No one is chatting at the moment.
  • Varine Varine:
    I ordered like five blocks for 15 dollars. They're just little aluminum blocks with holes drilled into them
  • Varine Varine:
    They are pretty much disposable. I have shitty nozzles though, and I don't think these were designed for how hot I've run them
  • Varine Varine:
    I tried to extract it but the thing is pretty stuck. Idk what else I can use this for
  • Varine Varine:
    I'll throw it into my scrap stuff box, I'm sure can be used for something
  • Varine Varine:
    I have spare parts for like, everything BUT that block lol. Oh well, I'll print this shit next week I guess. Hopefully it fits
  • Varine Varine:
    I see that, despite your insistence to the contrary, we are becoming a recipe website
  • Varine Varine:
    Which is unique I guess.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Actually I was just playing with having some kind of mention of the food forum and recipes on the main page to test and see if it would engage some of those people to post something. It is just weird to get so much traffic and no engagement
  • The Helper The Helper:
    So what it really is me trying to implement some kind of better site navigation not change the whole theme of the site
  • Varine Varine:
    How can you tell the difference between real traffic and indexing or AI generation bots?
  • The Helper The Helper:
    The bots will show up as users online in the forum software but they do not show up in my stats tracking. I am sure there are bots in the stats but the way alot of the bots treat the site do not show up on the stats
  • Varine Varine:
    I want to build a filtration system for my 3d printer, and that shit is so much more complicated than I thought it would be
  • Varine Varine:
    Apparently ABS emits styrene particulates which can be like .2 micrometers, which idk if the VOC detectors I have can even catch that
  • Varine Varine:
    Anyway I need to get some of those sensors and two air pressure sensors installed before an after the filters, which I need to figure out how to calculate the necessary pressure for and I have yet to find anything that tells me how to actually do that, just the cfm ratings
  • Varine Varine:
    And then I have to set up an arduino board to read those sensors, which I also don't know very much about but I have a whole bunch of crash course things for that
  • Varine Varine:
    These sensors are also a lot more than I thought they would be. Like 5 to 10 each, idk why but I assumed they would be like 2 dollars
  • Varine Varine:
    Another issue I'm learning is that a lot of the air quality sensors don't work at very high ambient temperatures. I'm planning on heating this enclosure to like 60C or so, and that's the upper limit of their functionality
  • Varine Varine:
    Although I don't know if I need to actually actively heat it or just let the plate and hotend bring the ambient temp to whatever it will, but even then I need to figure out an exfiltration for hot air. I think I kind of know what to do but it's still fucking confusing
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Maybe you could find some of that information from AC tech - like how they detect freon and such
  • Varine Varine:
    That's mostly what I've been looking at
  • Varine Varine:
    I don't think I'm dealing with quite the same pressures though, at the very least its a significantly smaller system. For the time being I'm just going to put together a quick scrubby box though and hope it works good enough to not make my house toxic
  • Varine Varine:
    I mean I don't use this enough to pose any significant danger I don't think, but I would still rather not be throwing styrene all over the air
