OOC-Chapter 2-The Quick and the Undead-General Discussion

[Dave Syrinx]

Ready.

[Raiko]

I'll also be re-joining. Looking forward to it.

[aine]

I’ll dig my running shoes out.

[Mr. Handy]

Thanks, everyone, and welcome back!

[Starspawn338]

Just saw this. I'm still waiting for the start of Chapter 2. Hope I'm lucky enough to survive.

[Mr. Handy]

Great, welcome back! So far there are no new players, but it's going to take me some more time to finish setting up the new chapter, so there's still time. I'm hoping now that Laraqua is back that she might join us. She was in the original Zombie Apocalypse from Chapter 3 onwards.

[Silver Priest]

I've tried to recruit some, but had very little success unfortunately. I know one player expressed interest and said he was looking for something just like this, so I'm hoping to convince him to join. He's a great player and I think he'd enjoy it. I could also try to post an ad on a few pbp sites I know that allow advertising for games off sight. If you wanted to write up a brief description I could use sometime Mr.Handy I'll try and paste it over there, but no rush.

[Mr. Handy]

Thank you. It's good to hear about that potential new player. For a description, you could just use the text blurb seen on the homepage for this game. If that's too short or doesn't have enough detail, there's also the initial post of the recruitment thread.

[Mr. Handy]

There are still no new players, so let's get started with the players we have and hope new players join soon. I have more time than I usually do over the next couple of weeks, and I've finished enough of the setup that I can get things moving. I'll start threads as I have time and get off to a rolling start, beginning with threads that are in combat situations, as those will need more updates to advance a minute of game time than the others. The Locations thread has thread names for each character, and I'll add hyperlinks to them as the threads appear. When you see your character's thread, you may go ahead and start. If you have open character slots, feel free to add some of the new (or existing) characters.

[Dave Syrinx]

And we´re off!! Great Mr.H!

[Silver Priest]

Looking forward to it.

Shame we have no new blood, I posted an ad on a site and discord and got no takers, and the one who expressed interest never got back to me so I guess RL intervened. I'd love to have a few more but am at a loss as to how to get them.

[Mr. Handy]

Thank you both!

[Mr. Handy]

I still haven't had time to get the other threads started, but I've updated the existing threads that are in combat for the first round. This will at least allow some more time for the combat to progress and for potential new players to join before everything else gets moving.

[aine]

No problem, Alex, Mrs Foo, Brigetta and Samantha are happy waiting in the green room. Lots of tea and biscuits and no zombies.

[Mr. Handy]

Some of the actors in zombie costumes are in the green room, but they're getting ready to go on set...

[Raiko]

I'm pretty sure that my characters (Lynne and Bud) aren't in the currently active threads?

Sorry, I've barely had a free minute this week, but I'm still here when you need me to resume.

[Mr. Handy]

Thanks! Both of your characters are not in an active thread. You are free to pick up one or two of the new characters if you like, but they aren't in active threads yet either. I'm hoping to get at least some of the other threads going this weekend, and I plan to finish up next weekend, which is a three-day weekend for me.

[Silver Priest]

Any updates on this Mr.Handy?

[Mr. Handy]

I haven't had enough free time to get the rest of the threads going, but I have hope of getting it done from February 27-March 2, when I'm off from work for four days in a row.

[Silver Priest]

Absolutely no rush, I know how much work must go into updating all the threads. But looking forward to it!
