Alright... weapon acquisitions will be explained in the IC thread, but here is the stats for them! I posted these with the coding so that all you should have to do is quote the line and drop it into your Weapons' Chart (which I will also do in my first post). Then you just have to fill in the "_"s with the appropriate numbers for your character!

Francois
Kitchen Knife+_(m)/+_(r)1d4+_10'(r)19-20(x2)S/T--04

Mason
Pipe Wrench+_(m)1d8+_--20(x3)B--022

Jim
Chair+_(m)1d6+_--20(x3)B--08

Blake
Broom Handle+_(m)/+_(r)1d4+_20'(r)20(x2)B/T--03

Viola
Glass (tumbler)+_(m)/+_(r)1d4+_10'(r)20(x2)B/T--04

Victor
Serving Tray+_(m)/+_(r)1d4+_30'(r)20(x2)B/T--08

Reading the IC first post...in a word, awesome.

Let's do this!

PS Blake's speech will be a nice, simple blue.

HZ: Thank you sir! Glad you are enjoying it so far.

Gunn: Yeah... I drew up a list of possible weapons that I could think of given the situation I had chosen and then rolled randomly on it. The only one that I had to change was Viola's... because she couldn't very well wield a chair with her crutches.

Thump: I still need you to correct Viola's inventory please (as per the things I mentioned in the recruitment thread)! Your inventories will be very vital because things will need to be used in new and creative ways and you will only have a few things on you for the majority of the time. These lists are going to need to be meticulously maintained!

Also... everyone feel free to copy their character sheets into their own posts in here, so that you can modify your own sheet!

Hehehe... check out the Population Counter I put in the OP of this thread.

And please, don't hesitate to give feedback, suggestions, or (constructive) criticism! I prefer to be a cooperative GM within the confines of the structure of the game and am ultimately here to provide a (hopefully) good game for you all to play through... and for no mild amount of entertainment on my part.

Obviously, the usual stuff applies - don't post any game-changing things in your posts (such as blowing up the ship or killing someone else's character). You post your character's actions and I post the reactions and consequences. Be mindful of everyone else's good time as well, be polite to one another, blah, blah, blah... kill zombies.

Ack, I'll do that quickly. Removed pocket knife and clothes, added tumbler.

Probably one of the better intros I've seen, if not in the top three, as a comment. Very well done. :)

Oh you're evil

I'm guessing that population counter isn't people left alive in the traditional sense!

Lol, love the population counter.
Great start of the campaign, can't wait to know what you and your evil mind got in store for us

So, do I get to roll a spot check for my last post? (don't know if it works this way in your system)

Again, you guys might want to make a post that contains your character sheet so that you can make changes to them. I will be trying to keep updated versions in my initial post here, but redundancy in this instance is never a bad thing!

Thump: Thank you for the compliment, that put a smile on my face! Thank you also for making those adjustments, but I just meant the extra pair of clothes. I fear you may misunderstand me, though. Similar to if the zombie breakout happened to you (yourself), right now... what things would you have on your person? On your body, in your pockets... the reason I am being such a stickler on this is because that is part of the beauty of this game (sure, killing zombies is a large part of it) - the survival element, making do with little at your disposal but your wits and ingenuity. Credit cards can be used to open normally locked doors, shoe laces can be used as light rope/string, and blue jeans can be made into a floatation device (yes, this is true... I have done it in Boy Scouts). I outfitted your character in "my" version of your character sheet above, based on the picture and information you provided... just as a baseline/example. But before we get out of the kitchen, you are more than welcome to make changes (and I encourage you to do so)!

Gunn: The population counter refers to the number of "unkilled" (live or undead passengers)... we shall have to see how many of those are of the walking dead variety.

Moomoo: Thank you... I felt that it gave a certainly level of dread to the situation and it pulls in a little humor to boot. And oh yes, plenty of (hopefully) great stuff for you guys. I have already started gathering 'cruise ship' movies and whatnot for possible inspiration. And yes, Francois may make a Search check, not a Spot... because it is based on physically searching for something instead of merely something that catches your eye (it will be 1/2 your level (rounded up) + your INT modifier + 2 (because you know this freezer and its contents somewhat)).

Umbranar: Hehe. By no means are you guys expected to fight all of them (at least not at once). I fixed your saves in "my" version in the initial post!

Hey guys,

If I am slow in responding it is because my internet at home doesn't work (thanks a BUNCH hurricane sandy!) So I am at work making this post just so I don't hold everyone up TOO much but I can't respond a lot... I just happen to be on lunch right now. Hopefully the internet will come back and then most of my posts will happen at night after 7pm EST time.

Hey, be safe! Sandy looks like a mother.

Oh PS looks like you'll probably have the highest initiative =P

Thanks for the initiatives you guys! I will wait for Razorback to post his until tonight and if he hasn't shown, I will roll one for him.

Please check the "Battle" section in the initial post! I might not always be able to provide this level of detail for you guys, but I hope to. I know it helps me as a player, so there you have it.

Umbranar: Roll a d6 for me (highest will decide the tiebreaker). Zombie5 = (1d6)[1].

Gunn: Hopefully that is the worst that Sandy brings your way. I am no stranger to hurricanes, and she is a beast of one (at least in size). Go ahead and post your turn, if you can, since it does look like you will be first!

Okay... so I'm attacking but I didn't know if I should wait to roll because you had initially told us not to roll without you giving us the go ahead first.

So... I'm ready to roll to hit whenever you're ready :D

Gunn: I was specifically talking about skills. I have run/played in games where players would roll 14 skills whenever they attempted any action, without the GM asking, so that they would increase their chances at succeeding. But by all means, roll your attack and potential damage!

Zombie5's Defense:
(1d20-1)[8]

Umbranar: Since zombies are, by nature, supposed to have slower reflexes than you humans (and since I don't want to hold up the game), Mason may win the initiative and thus, take his turn after Victor.

You hit, and by certainly more than 4 points, so it was to the head! He takes all 5 points, bit is still standing!

Mason will close in on zombie 1 swinging the wrench to the head. Attack roll: (1d20+3)[20] damage roll (in case of hit) (1d8+3)[11]

Nice :)
