OOC-Chapter 6-Dead by Dawn-General Discussion

Darkness now shrouds the zombie-infested land. At Warren Air Force Base, various survivors and USAF personnel try to hold out against the hordes, but will internal division tear them apart? In western Nebraska, most of the captive women have found their freedom thanks to the rangers' intervention, but two of their captors have gotten away with one of them as a hostage. Can they escape from a new horror and find a way to rescue her? And in Omaha, though the zombies are no longer a threat, danger still abounds. A large group of survivors has holed up in a school, but a band of violent juvenile delinquents, a drug-dealing gang, and others may prove a greater peril than the dead. Who will suvive the night, and who will never see the sun rise again?

Katarina not only survived, she thrived! :D Check out her increases, and also her exploits in Chapter 6. Maybe not as dramatic as when she finally came into her own late in Chapter 5 and really kicked butt, but she really shined in other ways. And Chapter 7 is bound to be filled with more such opportunities. Also danger, of course. ;)

Welcome back! Chapter 7 won't start for at least a couple more weeks, but you can still post in your IC threads. Sword isn't quite finished (I've been waiting for one other player to post), but it's almost done. Cynthia is still alive and well too. You also have the option to add one or two new characters if you're up to it. There will be some new pregens showing up for Chapter 7, so you might want to wait for those unless you have a great idea.

Any chance I can play Brian? He seems pretty cool and pragmatic.
Is it bad that I listen to this about ten times a day?

You sure can! Go ahead and roll for his skill increase for Chapter 6. His only checked skill is Mechanical Repair, which is currently at 60. I'll send you his secrets shortly.

Wow, that's a lot of Omaha NPCs! I see what you mean about there not being much chance of a TPK. Unless a giant worm reappears!

There used to be even more, but several Omaha characters died in Chapter 6. There were none whatsoever in Chapter 4. The killing only started after the zombies were no longer a threat locally.

Yes, welcome back Laraqua!

Regarding players and NPCs: I saw that I have one spot open for grabs. My ideas on that are as follows:

Either I pick a character from Sword, preferably one not yet introduced in the part Lara is not in. However there are only female NPCs left there. I am going for a male character, so I await new introductions. At Lara´s location there will be a bunch of new introductions as the team has arrived at their goal.

Or, I go with Gold and pick one of the henchmen from the Escalade - that is if I may do so? They are not listed but would be fun to take over - either one of them but Alfredo would suit fine.

My third option is to transfer a character concept from a movie I saw the other week. He´ll be added to Omaha if that works. I´ll post that one in the character development / concept thread.

Over and out!

Any of those ideas would work. I'd allow you to take over one of the criminals in Gold. Their character sheets are not posted, but I have them written down. Your character concept can work too.

Keep in mind that there will be new characters added, and not just to the section of Sword where Lara is. I hope to start putting them up next weekend (I'll be building them starting this weekend). You might want to wait and see the new characters before filling your last slot. You've got time before we start Chapter 7.

I guess I´ll go with my concept with the car delivery guy, Kowalski.

So, I'm Cynthia, Katarina and Brian now. Cool. I'm not sure if I'll keep Cynthia, to be honest. I'll take a look at where they are now and see if I still want to be here. Otherwise I might pick someone at the school if that's all right?

That's fine. You might also want to wait to see the new characters, which should start showing up next weekend, before making your decision.

This thread is now locked. All OOC comments should be posted in the OOC thread in the Chapter 6 subforum here. If you haven't yet made your skill XP rolls for the end of Chapter 6, you may do so in that thread as well. If you don't roll by next weekend, I'll roll for you.
