Play@YSDC

Here is where we bat around ideas for unique areas. The same player may play multiple characters in multiple areas if you like though that is not a necessity. Secrets found in one area may not truly relate to that found in another.

Anyway - two particular areas I'm thinking of opening. They're based off some of the creepier in-transit adventures and could be quite short if you like so you might not need to play long - probably be complete in a fortnight or more.

The Channel Tunnel Express Train - A busy train, sealed and far from the surface. What could be more cozy?

The Subway Station - Go down, down, down to funky town.

Five words with one of them: King in Yellow: The Musical.

A Highscool would be very interesting. I would definately be interested in joining. Maybe be a janitor.......oh wait I did that already.......ok a student, or maybe a teacher.

I like the highschool idea. I'm actually planning a high school area for an expansion to Zombie Apocalypse. Unfortunately I don't think I can take on additional characters. I'm already burning the candle at both ends with two; I can't afford to burn it in the middle as well!

A school would most certainly work. How about a chemistry teacher with an interest in astronomy? We'd need a few others first, however. Well, at least one. These threads play better, usually, with two people, though I could run a solo one. What do you think?

Hmm, really, Mr. Handy? Count me in! If there's no earlier readings, I can surely join. I wanna play a precocious and sexually active young woman and her sweet, Cancerian boyfriend!

Dsigfuss would make a good chemistry teacher. He has a background in science. I am more the art teacher. that's what I studied in University.

That expansion's going to be a long way coming, but it may show up in Chapter 4. The school is located in Omaha, so I'd start it once the helicopter group arrives - if they make it there. I've got 41 pregenerated characters planned out (though a few of them are Keeper-only), with 5 completely documented so far. No prior reading would be required. A couple of the students are close to what you're looking for (though I don't know what Cancerian means): there's an athletic and sexually active junior named LaTanya Washington, and her current boyfriend is a senior on the football team named Darnell Jones.

We also have a science teacher named Chester Johnson DSIGFUSS might be interested in. The art teacher didn't make it in to school on the day in question, but maybe I could add one in.

While the characters are pregenerated, there is a lot of flexibility for the players to determine their personalities. You can pretty much have free reign as long as you're consistent with the character concept and secrets.

Welsh and I have been discussing greatly expanding Zombie Apocalypse and starting it fresh on this board eventually, so if we do that we could start the school from around 7:30 AM before things get really hairy.

Cancerian - star sign cancer.

Yes, I'd figured that, but I don't know anything about astrology.

I'm a Scorpio so beware

Cancer - moody, sweet-natured, romantic, boy next door, eccentric.

Don't suppose she could be courting a guy other than the footballer? Perhaps she's still with him but wants to ex him for a cutie pie sweetie?

Just because he's a football player (American football, by the way) doesn't mean he can't be all those things if he's your character. Of course, if LaTanya's your character too you're free to have her break and form relationships with other characters. She already has one ex-boyfriend, but she might not want to get back together with him. There are other available students who might fit the bill, however. Possibly geeky sophomore Elijah Smith, though he's a bit shy.

Can we make it a catholic school? I have an urge to find a priest. oh this is Seppuku I'm too lazy to log in in my room.

If everyone's happy with that idea. Sure.

I think I'll leave the whole catholic school thing alone. No offense, I just don't like where that could go. Go ahead and do it, I will just wait for another one to start up.

high schools a great idea, lots of potential for mayhem.

seeing as i work in one in RL can I recommend cruel and unusual deaths for some of the pupils...oh no thats unfair

anyway if the chance came up i'd like to promote myself and play an art teacher. not that i've got time to play another character. damn this game for being insanely good!

If you don't want a catholic school it's cool. I don't think you'd look to good in the skirt anyway Louie.

A high school. Public or private? Okay. This all happens around 4, though, so it'd be just after school let out. Students would have to be either in detention or helping out with other things. Perhaps setting up for a school gala night?

Also, Piano Man, what were your protests against a Catholic school? If it's private, feel free to PM me or tell me if it's a secret.

I have to agree that Louie just doesn't have the legs for the dress.

It's always been a nigthmare of mine that a zombie infection would break out in a major soccer arena while I was watching the game. That would crazy huh?


P.S>
Zombies are the ONLY thing that scare me!

I vote private school so there can be a shooting range! That'd be your first mission: Get armed!

So, who's wanting to play and what character/type / role?

I be the Gym/shooting range teacher. I'm sure they would be the same guy. Also if he could teach archery.

might be fun to play a tinfoil hat survivalist, crazier than a coconut janitor/nightwatchman? possibly an army veteran with adjustment problems?

I'm still up for playing an art teacher but if it would amuse dgifuss i might go for a cockney wideboy who talks in slang all the time. don't know how i'd fit this in with the idea of a private school though.

"gor blimey guvnor. its gonna be a right carve up!"

He might do it as a gag. Class clown and all that.

how about a windowcleaner on his last job of the day? hes a cheeky chirpy lovable cockney rascal etc.

We'll open this in September, k? Give new players a chance to join if they like, me a chance to work stuff up, and you guys a chance for your old characters to die so you have more time free for the new ones. 8)

I'd like to be a student I guess... Maybe from the fencing team.

Oh yeah, there's also a police station and a police helicopter whose pilots are up for grabs. It's already in operation but no real details have been set in stone about those character.

Can Ash come play in Ash? They are on the way to s-mart it sounds like Can I make a way too enthusiastic employee?

Actually, it's a furniture store. Not a supermarket. I said Superstore, didn't I? But sure, you can get a job there. You poor, poor bastard.

In AMERICA Superstores are food, furniture, electronics, firearms, toys, pets , and clothes. Sorry so Furniture Dock worker could work. Mark needs some muscle to back him up.

Well, what's the American name for them then? The giant "We sell loads of one thing" stores?

Wholesale Wharehouse or something, but I got ya. Giant furniture store of death.

So I changed my story because like you said... "stealing a car stereo?" So Mark is in London to procure a certain book for a mystery client. 3 guesses what that book might be, and the first two don't count. So maybe we could have a museum, or library?

Sure, that makes sense. In the End Times, a lot have people have been alerted in their own ways. Dreams of mysterious books would make sense. Museams, libraries, occult book collectors, all seem good.

Sif you're not in London to hop on a plane at the air port to go to Innsmouth.

Hehe, An Innsmouth Game'd be good. Who wants to play a tainted one?

How about this? I will use google earth to try to see if theres a hospital and movei theatre nearby.

Well it's not quite across the street, but This is the closest theatre/hospital/museum/private school set I could find in London.
