The GM said "Let there be a discussion thread", and lo, there was a discussion thread.

Ahem, anyway, here's the place for out-of-character and off-topic discussion. Just one rule: don't be rude.*

Your character can be rude, but that's role playing. If you behave like an ass in here, I'll give you a warning. Continue, and I'll kick you out of the RP.

That said, how about we have some fun and maybe some socializin' too?

EDIT FOR NEWCOMERS

This RP setting occasionally involves information which your characters would already have a chance to know, on top of what was in the signups. Since I've been getting to these in the discussion thread as they become relevant/once I've worked out the details, they're a bit all over the place. Thankfully, I have assembled links below:

Hmm, you know, I realized as I was starting to write the intro here; I don't exactly have a definite starting location picked besides "a big city". I was thinking New York, but is there any place in particular you guys would like?

Cleveland or Chicago. Somewhere closer to the heartland. Afterall, New York would have the National Guard, and a bunch of Army bases and stuff. Cleveland... not so much.

This is starting to remind me that I should really know more about places besides where I live...

Ahem, anyway after looking at the maps I'm leanin' towards Cleveland. Though tell me, do either of them have underground subway systems? Google's being less help than usual in that regard.

EDIT: Hold on while the GM realizes he can cover his ass on any mistaken details by declaring that the RP is technically in an alternate universe.

So, Cleveland then?

Cleveland, Ohio is the one I was looking at, I was unaware of any other Cleveland.

Also, my apologies about the delay; writing up the intro took longer than I expected. Plus there were some distractions... >_>

Ahem, anyway, I'll probably get it up relatively soon. I've got work later today though, so I'll have to work it around that.

Apparently I kind of suck at scheduling. My sincere apologies.

In more related news, the RP is now live.

Your characters will arrive in the order you post, so I suggest having the RP up in a separate tab and refreshing it before sending to see if you're getting ninja'd. (Actually, this is just a good practice in general, I've found.)

Now, depending on how much your characters know about Cleveland these days, here's some stuff they might already know. You might want to pull up the google maps thing for Cleveland to reference. (I'd link it but google makes those ridiculously huge links that don't work here.) Well, I'll be damned, they fixed it. Here. (If it links like it does for me, might wanna zoom in.)

  • The Cleveland-Hopkins international airport is the only one still operational in the area; it is also functioning as an impromptu military base with minimal power. It's where bounty hunters go to get paid for their kills.

  • There is an enormous gash stretching from the Brooklyn area up through 71st and 90th, all the way to Burke Lakefront airport, which is the main reason that airport doesn't function anymore. The size of the gash varies but for the most part is around 50 feet deep and 20 feet across, and the more northern parts of it are flooded at the bottom. There are a few make-shift bridges crossing it.
    • It was made during the first few months of the apocalypse by "some kind of giant beam." To this day nobody really knows what caused the beam, but the most common guess is a very powerful demon and/or satanic ritual. A less common guess is secret government death laser.

You guys can choose what parts of these your characters do and don't know.
