So, a lot of zombie RPs here tend to fall into the same mold- group of people wanders aimlessly and kills a ton of zombies along the way. Which is well and good, but I'd like to try something a little different.

Specifically, in a lot of zombie fiction the main characters seem to come across other settlements or communities, typically always with some kind of gimmick. Sometimes they're good, sometimes they're evil. I think it's time the story of that community is told.

What I have in mind is something like the television shows [i]The Colony[/i] or perhaps [i]Jericho.[/i] After the rise of the dead and other associated cataclysms, you and a few other refugees (perhaps forty or fifty) fled into the prairies of Kansas and taken over the campus of a small four-year college. Now it's just a matter of running the settlement.

There will be a lot of discussion and a lot of difficult decisions to make. What's a bigger priority for the group, getting the power back on or the water running? Can we feed everyone? Do we accept that group who's asking for shelter? Do we reach out to other communities? And how about that very charismatic preacher who claims this is God's judgment? 

Of course, there will be fighting against zombies and possibly other survivors. What kind of place your little community becomes is up to you. Will it be peaceful and democratic, militant and despotic, a bunch of cannibals, or something else altogether?

So, anyone interested?
