Zombie Apocalypse with DnD ElementsI know I'm not the first nor am I going to be the last person, but, the idea of a zombie apocalypse site has always made me get really excited, but they usually don't last too long. After mulling it over, I thought about how to approach it and one of the many ways is via Episodes. The site will start with Episode One: The Pilot; where it introduces the virus first hand and it just seems a bit sketchy, but the CDC has told everyone that you need to go have checkups with doctors. Within all the episodes themselves, there will be certain events that tie in to what will happen -- just by Episode One, the virus has spread and hysteria has taken over the people (some people believe it to be fake some believe it to be true). As each episode passes, there will be more hysteria and suddenly, the ending of your humanity to the start of the Zombie Apocalypse where the main attraction comes in. Will there be a true ending (where the site will end end), yes. But that is far into the future, and how many people will live until the ending of it? Who knows really. so the nitty gritty details are going to be in a spoiler. Member classes are going to be limited in the beginning, a rise of them will come in Episodes to come! So far, myself and alyne ∞ have written down: Tanks, Brawlers, Medics, Scouts and Seekers. Because it has Dungeons and Dragons flavours to it, there will also be certain perks that each class will have expertise in and what they can start with! What about stats? We're still discussing if we're going to do the standard RPG six stats (Strength, Dexterity, Charisma, etc) or go with a simplified version (Health, Attack, Defense, Endurance, & Luck). There are pros and cons to both, but of course this mechanic will be a bit for later as we iron out the details of the story setting. Levels? Are they Milestone or XP? I love milestone, but I also hate it at the same time as it gives in no direction a way for me to properly integrate it-- so, we're going with good ol' XP where even social threading will give you XP for your characters. Crafting! You want to add nails to your bat? Go for it, you get an additional +1 to your attack. Wanna make some form of Adrenaline Shot that has some compound element of healing? Sure! Crafting on the site is flexible, we're going to make it basic and easy to understand -- and a downside will be that only certain groups would be able to make certain items (ie medics will be the only ones to create medical type supplies). Virus mutation, what will it be? In all honesty, there will be inspirations from Last of Us to even the scary af running zombies of WWZ (video game). But, as it takes right now, that will come for the future!
