    Default Apocalypse Survival Plans!

    I'm not the only one who's planned for the apocalypse, right?

    It doesn't matter what the apocalypse is caused by, as long as you have a survival plan. I'll post mine when my head stops asplodin'.
    It's been a bit, GitP. If you're reading this, you're either digging through old stuff, or I've posted for the first time in forever.

    If you want to stay in touch, reach out to me on twitter (same username).

    The best answer is always to ask your DM.
    Unless you're the DM, in which case you should talk to your players.

    1. Grab guns in closet and secure area.
    2. Contact/round up certain parties I intend to help
    3. Live off stocked food, filtered water from nearby creek.
    4. Set traps for animals, plant garden.

    Seems pretty straightforward to me.

    1) After initiating the apocalypse with deadly army of robotic nanowasps, retreat to the wasp-proof shelter beneath volcano lair.

    2) Lunch. Thinking an omelet and a light salad.

    3) Activate clone-o-mat. Insert collected DNA of supermodels.

    4) Begin repopulation program.

    Asteroid Apocalypse.

    Once its announced that the Asteroid is coming, find out where it will hit and try to find out the places that will take the damage. If I'm not in the immediate threat, dig a GIANT hole in the ground, really deep, and stock it with food, water, plants (for recycling oxygen), those lamps these use to grow plants in the dark, and a stationary bike turned into a generator. Obviously, use the bike to power the lamp, and otherwise survive until it's okay up there. Bring a few people in case it gets really bad up there.

    doesn't a genuine apocalypse preclude survival?

    anyhow,
    1) find an isolated area
    2) find/make food/shelter
    3) find something to put in for step 3
    4)???
    5) profit!

    1. Channel all the electrons from the earth (after all it's an electron sink) to the moon this will give it a negative charge, the earth will then have a positive charge.
    2. Hide in an underground lair
    3. Laugh when the moon hits the earth wiping out life as we know it.


    Wait you want survival plans...not plans for causing the Apocalypse

    Since post-apocalypse life sounds boring and I can't reproduce at all, my Apocalypse survival plans go like:

    1 - Die on Apocalypse day.

    I personally intend to go along with the benevolent Space Pirates who will help with the evacuation of the planet come doomsday.

    Sure, it won't be a glamourous existence. But neither will rotting in the radioactive glass fields like everyone who didn't go with the pirates.

    8 inches on average. They're not quite as nice as .308s, or .45s, or .22s, or crossbow bolts, or really any competently made missile weapon, but they're better than nothing.

    Make friends with these people. And reorith, since he has all the guns.

    I would also have some sort of small computer that can run off solar power, with Wikipedia and all the Army manuals downloaded to it.

    Honestly, if I couldn't count on the military to provide for me, I'd probably go to my parents' farm. I still need to convince them to put in a pump for their well that doesn't rely on grid electricity, but other than that, it would be the best place for me and my family to go short of the wilderness of Idaho (where I'm planning to build my fortress once I scrape together enough capital).

    Sorry for the double post but I just saw what Bouregard wrote. No kidding! Can't even have pepper spray here unless it is specifically labeled for use against animals. I've been looking at the hatchets and axes in Norma and wondering if they would be any good for home defense.
