S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Critical Mass

The plains to Yantar, in real time, would be about a day and a half. The plains alone make up a large chunk of the zone, so just going from one end to the other would take hours, unless you're already right next to the Old Cordon. To save time, I'll recommend you start from there.

On that note, my character is just in that part of the Old Cordon. Ohhhhh, that gives me an idea.

S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Critical Mass

I'll start by saying that working vehicles are incredibly rare in the zone, and generally any working vehicles that are in the zone will have long since been claimed by one of the factions or imported specifically for a faction, so as a general rule, unless your character didn't mind both finding a building where, say, a UAZ is being stored and also killing the numerous guards who will be keeping it safe, you're not going to find one. As for how fragile they are, they won't blow up from a single bullet hit, but if one happens to get lodged in the engine block, odds are your working vehicle will soon not be working. It probably won't explode, but it will definitely stall in not too long. As cool as Hollywood style explosions are, shooting a gas tank with anything less than a high explosive or incendiary round will only make it leak.

Updated the OP with the map and information regarding the locations, though it's a WIP still.

I'm so far the only one who hasn't used their character's actual name.

Nice posts, everyone. I can't wait until everyone actually meets up, but unill then I wouldn't be surprised if it remains fairly monotone. Still, just stick with it. I promise once we get to the bunker in Yantar, things will pick up.

Also, I have finished the map of The Zone, though it's incredibly shitty and will likely be updated as time goes on. For now, here it is for all your viewing pleasure.

No problemo, Berry. Thanks for the update.

S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Critical Mass

Alright, awesome.

S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Critical Mass

I know it's only been a couple of days, but it feels like this has been pretty inactive.

S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Critical Mass

More eventful than mine, anyhow. Not bad, it makes your character seem like he's not completely inept at combat.

GoT? Wut's dat?

Oh, also, I've made the first IC post. Note that the PDA message is sent to every character (and in their native language), so as to avoid confusion.

I have also begun to work on a (shitty) map for basic references to locations and such.
