Hi folks I ran this about a year ago on another site and it was pretty popular so I figured I’d give it go here. If you stick with me for a moment though I’d like to explain how the game is played first as that’s kind of the main draw.
The basic idea is my NPCs give your character’s jobs that they must complete then you write up how your characters complete the tasks. Your characters can succeed or fail, die or live and I write up how it affects the world. The point is your posts start to really shape the world, all I ask is you use common sense and keep it realistic. I totally support killing characters and if you do so you can come back with a new character, I accept writers not characters. The aim here is too tell great stories, not make great characters, it is impossible to overstate this point. I’ve run things this way in the past for Steampunk and Cyberpunk settings but it seemed to be most popular in the post apocalyptic setting.
The Live Together or Die Alone (LOTDA) setting is The UK after an apocalypse. The base is a small farm called Haven. Your characters all live on the farm and contribute to its operation by scavenging nearby ruins. This is where the jobs come in to things. Like I said above my NPCs give jobs, you write about how your character tackles them and then I write about how your character’s actions impact on the world. The world got really fleshed out in the previous version and I’d like to see what different ways it will go with a different group.
Anyway, obviously I’m looking for people who like to write and this will be a real slow burn thing, like one post a week or less slow. Each post that does go up is so dense with info though that they are almost short stories.
Anyway just testing the waters to see if anyone would like to give it a go.
