What leads to it's fall? Who's involved? Why? Well 3-5 players need wonder no more as this game focuses on exactly that!** The gradual decline of society. The intrigue about what's causing it and how different factions begin to form. How natural and man-made disasters happen and how everyday people handle it all. Not to mention the secrets and conspiracies that might get discovered along the way. All of this and more awaits those daring enough to join! ***But beware!*** You're just an average person who's had your life interrupted by everything going on around you. And in order to survive, or perhaps even try to salvage or save what little you can, it seems that you need to gather up a few friends and work together. But who knows? Maybe you'll somehow manage to save the world! So what will you all do? Will you seek out a cure for the new virus going around? Will you help with the rescue efforts after a natural disaster? Maybe you'll stay on the run, trying to keep ahead of everything happening all around you? Or perhaps you're more inclined to hunker down in one location for as long as possible? The choices are ultimately yours to make! Just be careful though, as one wrong move can have deadly consequences! How long can you survive? *Character deaths can and will occur when you're first starting out!* --- This game is set in a world similar to, but not quite, ours. The content will happen on the continent of New USA starting in fall of 2024. The system and story has no magic or aliens, but mutants, rogue militia groups, cults, bombs, natural disasters, severe disabilities, EMPs, inebriation, broken bones, death, and most anything that can or has happened in real life can and may well happen in game at some point. RP will hopefully be a major focus of this game as well. Killing your fellow humans who aren't intentionally trying to kill you first will have major consequences on both your character and the world around you, so it's not recommended. You're not a hardened veteran or a serial killer after all, so why would your character be okay with death or murder of innocents? Animals and anything that doesn't resemble a human should be fair game to kill though. *If you want a good idea of what your characters will be going through, consider the following films and shows as they are probably the closest to what this game is all about. 2012, Revolution, The Silence, The Happening, The Last of Us, Twister, Dante's Peak, or any other natural disaster or World-Actively-Ending film/show that's somewhat realistic or feasible today. Of course, these aren't perfect examples as the game is meant to be paced out over a few years instead of over a few hours, but it should still give a good idea of what to expect.* --- This game is one entirely of my own creation, complete with custom character sheets and a system that I designed from scratch and have quality tested for nearly two years now. This is the beta-group that's helped me smooth out all the bugs and play-test all new content, items, and enemies and has been going strong for 9 months now. If you're reading this, mention a fruit for extra consideration. If you join this game, you'll be getting the first look at all the new maps, features, enemies, and more. Just be aware that this means you might experience some bugs or changes from time to time. This game is only for those aged 21 and older as it includes graphic content, including themes of nudity, death, gore, alcohol, drugs, suicide, mental health, and similar. If this is an issue for you, then please mention it in your player application. This game has a focus on realism with regards to prices, story, and what's possible to make or buy. However nearly everything else, such as the inventory, healing, and combat systems, are only loosely realistic. Also, you should be able to craft or upgrade nearly everything in this game so long as it makes sense, you spend the time, have the materials, and it follows some form of realistic logic. --- Some unique key features of this game's system includes... - Play as one of 25 different professions, each with their own special talent and specialised skillset that can greatly impact how you play - Your character's age, sex, height, weight, and hobbies all play a factor on your starting core stats - Inventory is space-based instead of weight based - Uses the Metric system for map measurements - Multiple unique status effects that can impact your stats for better or worse - Find and drive over 50 different vehicles from cars and bikes to planes and drones to boats and jet skis and more! - Dismantle your old gear or harvest raw materials and use what you get to craft new gear or upgrade your existing gear! - Skills level up the more you use them, but can also decay to a point if you don't. - Upgrade your core stats through achievements, both party and personal, gaining a stat point with each achievement. *ie first time fully equipped (personal), first encounter with a new enemy type (personal), first visit to a new location (party), or You developed a cure for the pandemic! (party)* The game is expected to be roughly **20% mechanics, 20% combat, and 60% RP** across all sessions once you're comfortable with the system. **- Weekly, 4 hour sessions on Wednesdays from 2-6pm EST.** **- Voice chat will be in Discord.** **- Game will take place in Roll20.** The campaign is planned to last 100 in-game days, with roughly 1-3 in-game days passing every month, so about 3-5 irl years. Though the campaign may extend beyond that depending on the group's actions and interests. --- Finally, I've already put over 1500 hours into creating this game, and have plans to spend at least another 1500 hours on expanding it further, so if you wish to contribute financially or in some other way, you are more than welcome to, though it is not required. **If you're interested in joining this game, fill out the New Player Application on the LFG page to become another survivor who walks the line between life and death!** <a href="https://app.roll20.net/lfg/listing/399999/walk-the-line-between-life-and-death-free" rel="nofollow">https://app.roll20.net/lfg/listing/399999/walk-the-line-between-life-and-death-free</a> *I should respond via personal message within 48 hours in either direction.* ***Bonus consideration will be given to those who are good at taking notes/writing session logs and to those who spot the hidden message.*** *Currently looking for 1-2 players.*
