This forum thread is for all the players who will be gaming with me tomorrow on "The Snake is Coming to Town," a little one-shot of the Infected! game.
This has undergone a bit of a tweak from the description I wrote on it in AC IV and on FB. But I think you will like it a whole lot more!
Now, to start with here are our Quick Start Rules.
Setting Background:
Some five years after the outbreak began, it has finally petered out, leaving humanity devastated. Over 99% of the world is gone. Wiped out by the virulence of the plague itself, as well as the wars, famines, and countless other diseases that sprang up in the wake of almost total anarchy.
Now, with the Infected all-but wiped out, humanity finally has a chance to rebuild and recover.
You are all people involved in the town of Colstaun in the American South East. It was a small coal mining town back in the day, with a population of some ten thousand people. Now there are less than three hundred, mostly living in a series of defensive complexes near the centre of town. The town has gone through a lot. Murder, madness, mass exodus and bitter street wars. The paranoia that follows the virus has turned several parts of the town against each other, but they're still trying to hold it together.
The problem is, the town is about to run out of fuel. Everything they can scavenge has been used in the generators that keep the lights working and keep some semblance of society running. It's already Autumn, getting colder and quite wet, and without any power the leaders of the town think that the place will return to anarchy. How long will any of your survive in such a situation?
However, there is hope! A report has only just come in that a nearby oil-well has started working again. There's a car parked there and some sort of tanker - obviously someone's gotten it running.
Your mission is simple - take the last working car and go on the fuel run. Bring it back for the town.
However, each of you have your own, private, agendas...
Choose Your Character
The Quick-Start rules has several pre-gen characters listed in it. Please choose one and let me know which one you want to play. Ideally write down your answer here so everyone can see, but if that isn't an option, please email me at oliver@immersion-rpg.com
Fastest finger first on this one!
Every Character Has A Secret
Hey, we've all got pasts, right? Your characters each have a secret (which I will tell you privately). However, each of you also know one other person's secret...
Time To Game
How this all ends will only be decided at the virtual gaming table! I'll see you tomorrow at 12pm (AEST) on 14/11/2015!
We'll be using Roll20 and Google Hangouts (please add oliverrshead@gmail.com to your contacts - I will email you beforehand with the Hangout link).
Again, any questions please do shoot me an email at oliver@immersion-rpg.com
