#3 Dare_lonestar Dec 14, 2014 0:14:34	~Ok Kronos I was thinking the setting for this campaign was going to be the group in a new state of the art warehouse where but the thing is that’s only half built so there stuck on the shipping side with only a week worth of food and water, there are only a few pallets in there part of the warehouse and zombies in the rest, around the building are empty and full trailers but the group doesn’t know what ones are full/empty. As they day’s go on people start showing up and the group has to decided if they want to take them in or not, what I want to do to make that choice even harder is that they need to build stuff and repair stuff ect. So there going to need the extra help. That’s the campaign idea in a nutshell Some of the new things I wanna try and work out are a • Attraction System (Noise) • New Search System • Skills (as in I have an idea  a new way to pick class skills & to add, subtract, roll some skills together) • Moral Bonus System / Mental  Stress As of right now that’s all I can think of

Running) + Armor= Dc Running ( per round) Moddifer 1 round                          +2 3 round                          +4 5 round                          +6 Weight    Modifier Light          +1 Medium     +3 Heavy       +5 Armor     Modifier Light          +1 Medium     +2 Heavy        +3 New Search System Maybe its just me but when ever my group is searching for something specific and its may call they always try calling me out saying I’m not giving them the things there searching for as to make it harder on them so this is what I was thinking for what I’m calling “new search system”, really I have 2 ideas tell me what one you like better if any of them like before one is on a sliding scale Base Dc 5+Item Price +Availability+ Building   Price                                                             Modifier 0 cents – 1$                                                     +1 1$ - 500$                                                         +2 501$ - 1000$                                                   +5 1000$ and Up                                                 +10 Availability                                                     Modifier Common                                                           -2 Standard                                                           -1 Rare                                                                 +3 Special Order                                                   +5 Building                                                         Modifier Know Carrier (Wal-Mart)                                   -3 Second Hand store (Pawn shop)                       0 Discount Store (Big lots)                                   +2 Specialty Shop (Bike Shop)                              +3 The other Idea I had was more of a % chance so the way it works is like this whatever item you’re looking for instead of rolling search it would be a d% roll and for every rank you have in search your chance of finding it goes up 1% Purchase Dc % chance 2-10                   60% 11-19                 40% 20-28                 30% 29-38                 15% 39-50                  5%   Sorry that all i got for now works keeping me busy and this is all i;ve had time to come up with

It’s not about making sneaking around harder on the Players because you’re right armor already had a minus to move silently I could make “secret” listen checks but I have a problem of players thinking I’m cheating for others so this is way for me to even the playing field I make all of my checks in sight of the players. Now the reason I did this is I like to make things harder on the players so with this “system” in place they would have to choose there gear before going out since it would/could make noise plus the more stuff they take the “less” they can bring back and if they don’t want to incur a penalty from the carrying weights. Now that’s why I made this “system” this isn’t more trying to change your mind it’s just me explains why if you still don’t like it then that’s ok
#9 Dare_lonestar Dec 27, 2014 12:21:42	Profession: Since in the end there are no more professions I was thinking for every 5 ranks you put into it you would get a small “edge” as I call it to one of your crafts and just like profession earn a total of 3 out of 5 No Assembly required “you always tend to find parts that are excitedly what you need” with this edge when you’re crafting something it requires 1 less part to make Knock a little harder “everything you make either is harder beyond the normal” with this edge whenever you build something it has 2 more points of hardness Keened Edge “the edge is so keen that it cut the it’s case open” with this edge whenever you make something that deals damage 1 addition point of damage Built Tough “that door took several good kicks to get open” with this edge all items made by you have an extra 5 hp Nothing Wasted “We have to be like the Native Americans and waist nothing” with this edge every time you take something apart you get back ¾ as many parts (rounded down) instead of half as many   Mental Ok as for mental I was readying the “Call of Cthulhu” RP book on Sanity and it’s a good system but a bit much so I was thinking we could streamline it like this your mental Sanity is equal to your Wis x 3 And you would have temp sanity points and every time something you have to make a check and if you lose to many temp Sanity you would final lose a Permanente Sanity point. Encounter                                             DC               Temp Loss/Permanente Listing to Moans (1 week long)             Will 10           2/0 Watch unknown person eaten              Will 13           3/0 Watch a fellow Survivor Die                  Will 15           0/1 Fellow Player Eaten/Die                        Will 20           4/2 And once you reached 0 Sanity you would no longer but helpful or a play able character. I was thinking there would 3 groups you could call into once you reach 0 either Husk, Mental, Deranged  Husks just sit around doing thing they don’t eat or talk they just sleep and sit around, Mental Cases just walk around and talk non senesce and Deranged Cases attack everyone and anyone that gets with in feet of them.    I had 2 ideas for skills but one of them I’m scraping since it would be a total over haul on the skill system and I don’t feel like trying to work out all of the math so I’m just going to throw 2 smaller ideas out there and you guys let me know what you think. Class Skills: I’ve always hated that they choose my class and cross-class skills so what I was thinking was this how about at first level (when you’re making your character) all of your skills are open to you so whatever skills you put ranks into become class skills and everything else is cross class from their own out (prestige class would remain the same)

#11 Dare_lonestar Jan 03, 2015 17:57:00	Moral System Idea I was thinking that for this it would be based on a Item use system and it you don’t even have to add an items to get this system to work all it would take is the GM/DM make a single check or say Yes/No Like the Apoc book says food is a moral food granting a +1 to checks but take that a bit farther some books could do the same thing Item Moral Bonus Food (junk food) +1 Books(Comics, Manga) +2 Drugs (Alcohol ,OCA)  +3 OCA = Over the Counter Drug Abuse Just name a few things and for the Drugs one if they have one than one use of any of them they have to make a save to not become addicted to it or be Drunk or High The bonuse only lasts for 8 Hours and like any bonus can't be double up (so you can't eat Junkie food & have a beer for a +4 bonus, only the larger bonus effects you
