Pre-Game Chatter Post

Hi everybody! I am so pleased and excited to welcome you all to State of Decay. This game has been a longtime labor of love for me, and I cannot wait to see what stories you all tell in the world I've curated for you.

While I will largely be running this game like the other collaborative journal games I know you all from, I'm also trying out some new things. Please anticipate a few growing pains as we try stuff, sort things out, and figure out what works. I am always looking for feedback & suggestions for improvement on how to streamline and organize things, so feel free to drop me a line if you have comments or suggestions. Thanks for bearing with me as I get my feet on the ground!

This game is currently closed to new players. Please don't hold, join our Discord, or comment on this post unless you've already been invited to join us.

Re: Colleen’s Concept(s)

I think these two would get along! She would appreciate his directness and resilience. I can see them volunteering to do unpleasant work together.

Also, Maggie is pretty misanthropic in general, which makes her naturally resistant to welcoming more people to the lumberyard. Even though Gideon’s isolationism seems to stem from a desire to care for his community and Maggie’s stems from mistrust of almost everyone, they seem like they would be allies in their goals.

I like the idea of them stepping aside to be the ones who do the unpleasant work, whether it's turning people away or putting the infected out. Gideon is practical so even if their motivations are different... the result is the same. Maggie's someone who he cautiously thinks he can predict and/or rely on.
