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.

Rin's Concepts

[dukeofrats]

These are... poorly formed so please forgive the vagueness, I will come back with more concrete things but I just wanted to get the vibes out.

Duke Rattray: (Colton Haynes) Nice boy delinquent, Container Fort heavy machinery operator (?), early 20s. Originally from a Louisiana junkyard and younger brother to Kas's precious man, made his way to PNW to follow him but also because he was mixed up with a not great group. Cares so much about nature that he blew up some stuff about it (but was careful not to kill anyone!!). Went to juvie. Met Jackie's son, his bestestest buddy in the whole wide world outside of their former house-mom's cat. Kind of stupid, very loving, strong moral compass. Will probably give literally anyone a chance because he's very idealistic and thinks that people are ultimately good.

A lady: Will probably be mid-30s? Was in a doomsday cult that was sort of right about the whole end of the world thing, at least? Knew basic medical stuff/midwifery from being in an isolated group. Fled and hung out in a hospital for a while, was found by someone (possible connection!) who brought her back to their community (still also up in the air) because she was claiming to be a nurse. Reads medical books all night so she can continue to maybe be a slightly convincing nurse. A little terrified someone is going to figure out she's totally lying about probably a lot of stuff. Personality is in-flux but she's clearly the kind of person who would join a cult.

oh boy, a boy to bully 😌

i would love to have the fake nurse at whitney field bc i think in addition to not having medicine they also don't really have a medical staff and it kind of chaps mara's ass so she'd be VERY proactive about recruiting potential medical staff. also i love this concept lmao skdljfdslk i would be so stressed out all the time if i were her

He's made for it 🥰

SOLD, I was waffling between there and Lundegaard so I love a nudge in a direction. Lmfao SORRY MARA and yeah this girl is 😎 not having a good time

the rattrays should be good at booby traps because of the way they are.

Re: Rin's Concepts

[dukeofrats]

yes this is exactly the way they are

Linda will expire if she doesn't have a boy around to be her project so congratulations, Duke!!! You are now her elite employee!!!!

Re: Rin's Concepts

[dukeofrats]

Happy to provide!!!! He will more likely than not be totally fine with this, he is just a baby

every time i see the last name rattray i go "rat-tray, ratRAY" like i will offend rats with the incorrect pronunciation fyi. We can ofc work out specifics but my gut instinct is Carson would probably both punch anyone in the world for him even if she cannot sit thru a conversation with him which to be fair is a common Carson relationship

Re: Rin's Concepts

[dukeofrats]

apsindgapis I always say it very heavy on the 'tray' in my head because it's funny, but the rats will be fine, don't worry.

Lmfaooooooo perfect, love it. Duke is pretty chill with almost any kind of treatment, tbh.

I'm excited to work out all the CF relationships once he's more formed up and stuff, it's going to be Something (also her PB is so pretty wtf)

Alright the girl is forming up a bit so here she is but still up for debate on things
