S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Friends and Foes

Disclaimer: Brand new to GMing and to the system. This is going to be a learning experience for me and any others who are unfamiliar with End of the World. Newbies to the system are completely welcome and encouraged to join if interested in the setting.

Also since I couldn't find it in the games category I'll just bluntly state it. I'm running this under The End of the World: Zombie Apocalypse system. No this is not a Fallout game nor is it much like Fallout. Please don't jump in thinking that it is. You can read up on the game STALKER and it's setting here - http://stalker.wikia.com/wiki/The_Zone

Like S.T.A.L.K.E.R.? Ever wanted to pretend to live the artifact hunting dream but couldn't find anyone who has any idea what you're talking about that speaks English? Here's your chance.

This is planned to be an ongoing game with a mission-style structure largely dependent on what choices the players make. As you play the game keep in mind that there will be consequences for all actions and any repercussions stemming from them could make a heavy impact on the game world. For the most part this is going to be fairly rules light and narrative heavy, so while there will be combat against both mutants and other humans, keep in mind that it isn't the sole focus. Reasoning for such is that in a place as dangerous and deadly as the Zone it's probably a smart idea to avoid fights when possible.

Character creation will -not- be done using the self-insert rules and the group vote concept is replaced with GM approval. Refer to the 'additional information' at the bottom of page 21 in the book and follow those instructions to create your character. Again, there will be no group vote, only GM approval for characters. We will hold at least one full session dedicated to character creation, team cohesion, meet and greet, questions, concerns, etc. before playing the game. Skype or Discord will likely be used for out of character text conversation after the initial session is held on Roll20. We will discuss further as a group during said session.

Any questions may be asked or PM'ed to me directly. Please read the thread that is yelling at you to read it in all caps before applying, as it has further details.
