Hey all, I have been thinking about the gradual production of a new roleplay, based, somewhat heavily, on Resident Evil 2.

The game would not be run for sometime, since I am doing Space...and between Time of Glory, Space and Dungeoneering, another game wouldn't be clever.

 

Now, the idea is a cross between Zombie Survival, Hegemony and Dungeoneering...How so, I hear you ask.

Well, the idea is that there is a City. In this city there occurs an outbreak of a Zombie Inducing Virus, which spreads quickly.

 

Each player controls 1 person, but this person may be anyone within the city...The Chief of Police, the Mayor, CEO of a Hospital...Or a lone gun nut...whatever you want, though the role of CEO 'Umbrella'* Corporation, the Company that makes the Zombie Inducing Virus has already been taken by Retech, since he fills the role perfectly.

 

Each player has a stats sheet...and 10 of the people you have command of, as Police Chief, CEO or Suvival Pack Leader, will have one as well...If you have 15 Police officers then you will have 10 stated people and 5 generic police officers.

As society innevitably starts breaking down it will be your job to keep yourself alive AND complete some stated objective(s).

 

The game begins at Minus 30 Hours to Outbreak, with the game advancing at a speed of 3 hours per day. With a spate of gruesome murders in the forest outside the City having occured over the last five weeks there is mounting pressure for the City to do something about it.

 

Winning the game will be conditional on fufilling your objectives and surviving, and will be decided 168 hours(56 days real time and 1 week in game) after the beginning of the game.

 

Sleep requirements will be kept track of, with 21 hours(7 days) awake and 9 hours(3 days) asleep by default... if they are trapped in a Zombie Infested building they will stay awake for another 9 hours with weakened stats and after that has a chance of falling asleep every 3 hours...The chance increases every 3 hours they stay awake.

Sleeping for 3 hours will restore them to the weakened stats level.

 

Zombies and game logic are of the Resident Evil Varity and should not be confused with other types...or reality.

 

 

The game will be pre-planned in detail...If you walk into a room you will find what is in the room and can take it or leave it.

There is no way to make bullets or guns out of things you find lying around.

There is four researches you can do: The Anti-Virus, the Type 2 Virus, the Hybrid Virus and Plot.

Anti-Virus stops you turn into a Zombie if bitten, as long as you can make it.

Type 2 and Hybrid are worth a shedload of points at the end of the game. If two people have it then the points are halved, three people and they are 1/3...and so on.

Plot tells you the story of what happened.

Research is done by finding bits of paper in labs and such. Each bit of paper converts to a percentage of the research.

 

Weapons, Ammo and Healing Herbs/Sprays are also discovered doing the room to room searches, along with Zombies.

 

The game would be played on the forum, rather than IRC, you give instructions and I give you the results based on who you sent in.

 

 

So...

 

What I want is a list of guns, ammo types, who you might want to play as and an idea of stats(What should be a skill).

Any random thoughts you have about the idea are also welcome.

How can it be RE without an RPG-7?

 

I also suggest the following as crafting/found/bought weapons:

 

Bow (Medium stopping power varying on strength/type, mid-high range varying on skill/type, low-mid fire rate varying on skill/type, weapon and ammo can be modified)

-Longbow

-Shortbow

-Recurve Bow

-Compound Bow

-Wooden, Metal, or Manufactured

 

Crossbow (High stopping power, mid-high range, low fire rate varying on strength, ammo can be modified)

-Wooden, Metal, or Manufactured

 

Slingshot (Low stopping power varying on type/ammo, medium range, mid-high fire rate, scavenged ammo, ammo can be modified)

-Hunting

-Basic

-Wooden, Metal, or Manufactured

 

Sling (Low-mid stopping power varying on strength/ammo, low-mid range varying on strength, mid-high fire rate, scavenged ammo, melee weapon, ammo can be modified)

-Leather, Manufactured

 

I was also thinking of a blowgun, but that would only be useful if you had some sort of poison. Perhaps the Anti-Virus also kills existing zombies? Anyways, I just thought the ability to scavenge or create ranged weapons would be useful.

 

And I'll be the town loner, vaguely charismatic and well known. Rarely befriended, because of an unsettling presence and uncanny ability to disappear from an area. I'll need a map of the city to plan things, though.

[Seraphi]

That would depend on zombies having circulation, Nex.

 

I guess I'll play as an ordinary citizen in the worst possible location at the worst possible time.

[The_Mather1]

Maybe if we could manage to create a sort of carrier symbiote for the anti-virus, putting said symbiote on the blow dart would inject it into the body where it could move to the brain.

In 150 hours, from scratch, in a game which doesn't have a optional research system...

[Nexaduro]

Lol. He's right, Mather.

 

Anyways, we're going to need turrets. Lotsa turrets.

[Leiana]

???????????

[Nexaduro]

Lee, do not pointlessly bump old threads, if you please. At least take the time to write a sentence. <_<

 

Also, work on your cryptograms.

[Retech]

I've tried for a goodly amount of time to crack the crypto, but only nonsense comes out. Would the word "brother" happen to be in it?

[Jehosaphat]

I think she forgot a word. But I did manage to solve it, even with a word missing. Not all THAT hard, especially since we have a sentence continuation to work off of.

[Nexaduro]

It's just one letter up alphabetically, and not correct even then. :P
