Yeah, I was just giving examples of how normal zombies can be harder to kill without being a typical Resident Evil boss ... lol. Although the steel head zombie would have to go through quick cooling or the heat from the steel would have blown up his skull like the burning gas cloud (nuée ardente) did to some of the people of Herculaneum in Roman Times when Mount Vesuvius erupted and buried Pompeii in ash.
Finally back home. Yay for second world internet. I will catch up with the in game thread
I'm sorry we had to kill you so we could escape the sicko hordes. You will be missed.

LOL ... Brutal!

RIP Yael. I imagine that as a zombie, she'll have so much more free time. Maybe she'll pick up crocheting or something.
Work is nuts for me today so I don't expect to post again until late tonight.
Thanks for the heads up, no worries.
any objections to the group heading back to Backwoods? I will have something planned about that trip for tonight then.
Hey Jojo, btw, Marcus would have linked twin pop-up 7.62mm Bushmaster Gatling guns on his car. So if someone cut him off, he cut them in half... ;-). But as the Storyteller would say, "That is a story for another day."
Sorry all for my absence or slow post times, I was first under the weather this week and then I have had to catch up on career work including setting up my new Windows 10 workstation at work. It was one machine out of a batch that were accidentally ordered and one was given to me. It is a little overkill (Xeon with 32 GBs of RAM) for a network security engineer but I am not complaining ... :-) I want to be caught up in all my games by this weekend.
I owe each of you an apology as I haven't been able to keep up with a suitable post rate for this campaign and posting documents which were unreadable. That being said how many of you are still around and waiting for this game to take off again. Please respond in game or here by Monday so I have an idea of how many survivors are still with us and we can continue our way through these trouble times.
Still here.
Still surviving. And it's ok, real life first.
Well two responses is better than none. I fear that my work load killed this campaign before it started. Those who are left would you be interested in continuing if the current group got drastically reduced in size. I would consider giving a bump in level to help make up the difference.
I am ok with that. All campaigns seem to have slown down for many different reasons.
Sorry, I have been trying to post for days, but it will only let me 'preview' posts in the discussion thread...
Yes, I am still around, and up for it.
Still here, though like yourself had some RL stuff to deal with. Posting regularlity will resume in a few days.
4 is more like it. I can run with 4 but let's wait and see if the others come back. I will post a recap in game post in 10 hours or so.
I sent a pm to Yael and Richard but let's continue not sure if the group wants to stay on the road or cut through the grass and clay to get to the civic center. Improved map posted. Discuss quickly as the 9 sickos are getting closer.
Still here!
Sorry all, really busy at work and home. I am hoping to post Friday or some time this weekend. In fact, it is 12:35 am and I am installing one million dollar network system. My data center engineers are replacing a bad fiber cable so I am posting this while I have time.
Thanks for an update. Post when you can. Understand real life takes precedence..
Anyone still here?
I believe RocksAhead has been really busy at work and I believe it was Jojo's turn.
yes work is crazy should settle down by the end of this week. It was JoJo turn but not sure who is still here. So roll call time. Please post if you are still around. End of the week I should be freed up from work stuff for a bit.
Here
Here!
*waves*
I guess I should have posted with, "JoJo continues to be carried by Brian" but I thought that was obvious. Still nauseated for a round. Sorry. Feel free to DMPC.
Still waiting to hear from Edwin. I will make some form of post over the weekend but I expect the pace to be slow until the new year as work is DEMANDING right now.
Are we still waiting for Edwin? Pretty sure a week is more than enough.
I am still here ... lurking ... watching the thread.
I've pm'd Marcus is anyone else still lurking?
I am now a sleeper, lying in wait ... :-)
Yep
Ok relaunch planned for new year. We have Richard the German Med student and Marcus the American Doomsday Prep-er. If I don't hear from someone by NYE then I consider their character fair game to kill off or make disappear.
AWesome. A well some parts of it.
Mainly the relaunch date!!!
I am still here, I'll be posting some time today.
I will be posting with a quicker response time. The weekends still might be a bit slow but otherwise I should have a response within 24 hours. The question is what is your next course of action. Richard did a thorough search of the place (results pending a roll) Marcus and Greg spent some time fortifying the store front windows and escape route through the roof.
Some courses of action have already been suggested.
1. See what can be scavenged from the other party members. (Will take some time 45 minute walk to get back to the cultural center.)
2. Find a source of food.
3. Get clean water. (To be determined if Marcus had his filtration system otherwise need some way to purify water. Tap = Z-plague)
4. Manufacture weapons (craft javelins from canoe paddles)
5. Search some nearby location.
As for local locations I highly encourage you to use Google Maps. There is a link provided for the location of Backwoods a non-existant supply shop. Pretty much everything else is fair game as currently shown. If you see a drugstore on google maps there's a drug store in that location. The Z-plague broke about two-weeks ago so some places are obviously picked through already. People are surprising scarce. You saw a light flicking on/off at the hotel but other than that you haven't seen or heard anyone on your way to Backwoods or your time there.
Oh crap! On second thought, it appears Marcus does not have a portable water filter. I either thought about it and never took it or getting mixed up with another character I had that did have one. So yeah, we currently have a water problem. I will re-role play that.
No worries I realized after editing time passed that my tone might have been rougher than intended typed it right after getting a lousy work email. I unfortunately researched if the filter would work first before seeing if it was on your character sheet. Doh! Thing to realize is that whatever filtration system you employ it needs to beat the municipal filtration system. The college guys got sick off of the tap water which in the town is a fresh water filtration system not well water.
One of the main struggles I have with this campaign is dissemination of knowledge. I want to share some background but feel that doing so would rob you of the character's ignorance of what is going on and what has happened already.
Hey guys, I will post either tonight or tomorrow. It's been a rough (3) days. We found out Friday, our dog may have an auto-immune genetic disease or Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever, both are nasty and dangerous. She vomited after giving her Cipro antibiotic and the vomiting up alone looked like it was taking the life out of her. She was also taking Panacur for Whipworm but we read the Sentinel Anti-Heartworm Medicine also killed whipworms so we cut her off leaving Minocycline which is an antibiotic for Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever (RMSF). She started to show signs of improvement and tonight was her first day/night of having any food for about two weeks without vomiting. We are hoping this is a turning point and she will not have any lasting affects from RMSF. Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever (RMSF) is a nasty disease, it basically weakens the blood vessels in your body to a point where you start bleeding internally and out of your nose. And since your organs are no longer receiving all of the blood needed, organ and muscle damage begin to take place. Humans can get it too from ticks which dogs can to. But you can also contract from licking up infected tick tissues which a dog is more likely to do. Although the disease has Rocky Mountain in the name, which means it originates in the Rocky Mountains, it is more prevalent on the East Coast of the USA.
Wishing the best for your furry family member. Hoping that you have indeed rounded the corner with this disease.
Thank you!
And I'll post tonight, work is a little busy today.
am I making this too sandbox style for your liking or is everyone just busy?
It is a bit, well difficult for me. I think we need a little success now ;-) And last night was pen and paper.
Yes sorry, I have a PCI (Credit Card Industry) Audit and an intensive device implementation at work all at the same time. In addition, a very sick dog that has almost died twice on her own and we almost put her down once. I think we have her on the mend now and thinking she has an autoimmune disease or Lupus. We are going to bring her in for an ultrasound to see if the damage done by Lupus is not too severe.
I will be posting today some time.
Richard what pen and paper do you play? Marcus sorry to hear your dog is still not healthy. Hoping she gets better soon.
I play the Zeitgeist Adventure path with Pathfinder rules and spheres of Power system one week and Reign of winter the other week.
The round is maybe 10 years old and we try to meet once per week.
We have finished four or 5 Aps in those years.
