Did you marry a man who married the sea? He looks right through you to the distant grey - calling, calling..

This will be a 5-player game, following the standard rules with a few exceptions to make online play easier.
If you’re not familiar with the game, you can read up on the rules here. They’re pretty straightforward.

Here’s the basic run-down on how PBF works:

1) Whenever you are playing any cards that are not revealed to the other players (e.g. searching, playing into a crisis) this will be done via PM. You must have this to play.
2) Rather than players reading crossroad cards, I will manage these during player turns and will let you know if the effect has been triggered.
3) At the start of player turns, I will roll all dice and post the results in the thread. Players take turns consecutively, but on your turn you can post all actions that you wish to take simultaneously using the following format:

<character><dice><action> OR
<character><action> OR
Play <card> OR
Play X cards into crisis (and send me a PM of the actual cards) OR
<Other action>

For example, your turn might look something like

quote:


Ashley - move to Library
Ashley (5) Search at Library
Ashley – Special action barricade at library
Buddy (3) Kill zombie at colony, entrance 1
Buddy (1) Clean waste
Play Medicine card on Buddy to remove frostbite
Play 2 cards into crisis
4) Whenever you search with a character, if you are searching for a particular type of item and don’t mind making additional noise, please send me a PM along with your turn actions to let me know how many additional searches you are willing to make to try and find that type of item. E.g. you could send me a PM when you search at the hospital stating “I wish to make up to 2 extra noise in order to find a medicine card”. This will speed up the back and forth that can take place over searching.
5) You can specify conditional actions if necessary. For example, if on your turn you intend to move a character and then attack a zombie at the new location, you might wish to make this conditional on not taking damage on the exposure die. If so, post something like:

quote:


Edward – move to Police Station
Edward (4) Attack zombie if no damage taken this turn





I'm finding the other forum game I'm running is less taxing than I thought it might be, so I figured I'd get a second one up and running. Preference for spots will be given to people who wanted to join the first game but were not included. You can check out the current game here for an idea of how this runs.

Alright, that's 5 - let's do it.

First we need to pick a scenario. I'll let you guys choose this time, out of the following 3:

1. Home Sweet Home

Morale: 6
Rounds: 6
Setup: 12 zombies at the colony, 1 at each other location

Victory: There are 10 barricades at the colony, and 1 at each other location.


2. Stockpile

Morale: 6
Rounds: 6
Setup: 18 zombies at the colony

Victory: 2 food tokens in the supply for each non-exiled player, 1 barricade at each colony entrance, and 2 medicine, 2 tool and 2 fuel cards discarded towards the objective (starter items do not count).


3. Find a Cure

Morale: 5
Rounds: 6
Setup: None

Victory: 2 medicine cards per player discarded towards the objective.


Vote for objective 1, 2 or 3

Sorry about that - the game uses quite a lot of hidden information (player hands, secret objectives etc) so it's not really possible to play it without it.

Sure, I've PM'd you your starting items, objectives and survivors. You need to pick 2 of the survivors as your starting following and we can get started. Check the rules in the OP if there's anything you're not sure about.

Home Sweet Home
February 5th

All our hard work has rewarded us more than I could have hoped. Yesterday this was a refugee camp, and today it's an honest-to-God town. When people call it the Colony, there's no bitter irony in their voices, and that speaks volumes. Only problem is, all of our hard work has brought down a swarm of the dead upon us. Each day brings new invaders to our walls, and they wander the streets in town waiting for a living morsel to present itself. If we can just figure out a way to kill this swarm, build up our defenses and hopefully stop attracting more of them. Sure, we'll probably be dealing with stragglers for the rest of our days, but anything would be better than the horde we're dealing with now.

Alright so in terms of planning, I'm gonna keep Mike back in the colony on zombie-killing duty and send out someone to one of the fuel locations so that I can help with the fuel. This is one crisis we really don't want to fail.

I was thinking of taking my survivors to help clear out entrance 1. I also have quite a few fuel cards I could chip in so that we could pass this crisis as long as someone else chips in 1 or 2. Thoughts?

OK, I'm going to send Evans to the grocery store and put him on food duty, probably for as long as he lives. Ross is staying put as well. Building one barricade a turn means she is a non-factor on zombie appearance, with her high search value she's probably better suited to the Colony, building barricades with any dice that isn't good enough to search with Evans.

How much information can we give about our hands? "I can collaborate a lot?" or "I can provide 3 medicine cards to the crisis?"

I'd be wary about rolling for exposure in the colony, at least with a non combat survivor. A bite can mean we lose a lot of people very fast. The ninja or the Sheriff have better odds, and using those looks like a better idea.

Okay not fuel but useful keep it.

Now we're going to need some hardware to keep our colony clear so;

play the food from my hand into the supply
Gabriel; Kill a Zombie at entrance 2 with a six.
Move to the police station use the ability and search with the last 6.

The game rules don't specify this, but in keeping with it being a (possible) hidden traitor game, I'd suggest using 'a little' or 'a lot' for crisis contributions.
