zombie thread 2?

Maybe one but not the other. I was thinking of continuing the long story (I've been busy with school and work so that's my long pause). But too many characters too soon might overload the interaction.

Maybe one or two characters would work better.
 
Oh, you're talking about an interacting RP. I was thinking of a continuation thread of the otehr one><

Yeah, I'll use Mouse.
 
Ok, what are you folks thinking as a setting or a plot?

I was originally playing with how Night of the Living Dead starts-
"they're coming to get you barbara..."
 
Ya I like that idea, I'm not sure if I could do the "chapter idea" like you had talked about in a previous thread. That would almost be to time consuming. I think roleplaying is fun on forums since you can come on type a quick paragraph and wait for the next events to unfold :).
 
Uziel- ok, kick this off. I was going to start with either-
a simple character fleeing to a deserted farmhouse.
Barbara and her brother go to the cemetary to visit their mother's grave only to find the walking dead.

But kick it off.
 
Giving me a selection was a bad idea, Welsh. A very bad idea. :twisted:

But you're going to love that bad idea.

Edit after I finished:
You've got to admit that was good. It's been a while since I've seen NotLD, so I just threw this together.

No more tonight, though, if I continue with this my head will explode.
 
are we going for standard Romero characters (normal people in extraordinary circumstances) or is some fantasy-ish stuff welcome?
 
I think we're doing ordinary people. Nobody incredibly special, but then again, Welsh is letting me use Mouse, and he's a master thief...
 
I just discovered this thread. I read through the entire previous 'story/adventure' you guys had going and loved it. Are you sure you want to quit it? I will state that everyone started too far apart and apparently there was no agreed upon meeting point. I was thinking that if there had been something like a radio or TV broadcast suggesting one or more 'safe' havens you may have been able to pull everyone together. I might be able to write up something to make this work. Maybe my 'Lance Mathers' character could make a guest appearance to accomplish this?(You guys probably have no idea what I am talking about but he has appeared in a few of the Press Releases from Mutants Rising.) Probably a new character would be better, but I did enjoy the news clips in the 'Dead' movies. The live footage was always entertaining. Anyway, it is just an idea...
 
I'm not going to quit the original Zombie thread. Mouse and his crew will live on there. I'm just importing Mouse to this one.
 
To be honest, I started the "long" zombie thread mostly because I wanted to do a rough draft on a story idea- a horror/comic version of "The Zombie Survival Guide for New Parents".

I haven't quite abandoned it yet, but have been busy with things. I do want to return to it sometime. It's a slow thread though and tailored for long, more intensive, more character driven writing than normal roleplays.

The new zombie thread should be new, short, action orientated, fun. I am kind of pulling back to see who wants to take the initiative on this.

It's all about initiative. All about being the writer who cracks it open and starts to write, who motivates the others to participate.

But initiative is hard.

That and I am currently working on a horror story of my own and have been doing lots of research- which eats my "fun time."
