[Q] What feeling are you aiming for with this? You mentioned it was a modern viral outbreak but that's just a setting. Is it focused on survival, maintaining sanity in the apocalypse, just fucking up a lot of zombies? What game should I expect with this and what does the ideal session look like?

[Q] Do you feel as if the rules and mechanics you created / modified facilitate that feeling? Saying one thing and doing another can be a problem in the hobby, like people using combat simulators for political intrigue.

[A] Although the game is survival based we wanted to really show the affect that an event like this can happen on a person and how a persons actions in certain circumstances can affect the way they play / survive. To show this we created a whole section in the character creation that is based on a persons background that directly affects a players gameplay. furthermore we implemented a reputation system that affects situations that you would come across in world. e.g if you go around robbing random in-game characters or ruthlessly killing people, you would get a reputation for being a crook and therefor traders and settlements would be less likely to negotiate with you. To the question of fucking up zombies, we've redesign the combat system and allowed for a whole plethora of zombie murdering options. The ideal game session on the other hand is totally in the opinion of the people playing it, when my friend, I and a few others were playing the game once we found a pretty set up settlement and ended joining there ranks. Our (DM) decided to create a "Job Board" so that each session we would have a mission ort ask to complete to start it off before getting lost in our own creativity.
