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.

John by Sam

[lineman]

John Lastnamehere (Lee Dohyun)is a former high voltage lineman who clinically died after being electrocuted—but he got better. Previous to that, was kicked out of a Catholic seminary for wanting to be a priest too enthusiastically (I actually know someone who had this happen to them, and I think about it all the time). Outward appearances suggest he is strongly prosocial and cares about what he deems as morally correct ("correct") outcomes—an upstanding member of the community who makes himself available to help others, regular degular normal niceman. But, deep down: a secret sleeper agent freak who has not fully processed his near-death experience and is instead letting all his feelings about it (+ longstanding wretched feelings about failed priesthood) ferment inside him like the world's most nastyass sacramental wine. Possibly overcompensating externally for bad vibes internally. Anyway, he's in the Lumberyard.

I have to go back to work now but this looks very cool and everybody's concepts look so much fun!

Surely the years of social isolation aren't to blame.
