TOPIC: [R2 - 2015] Mutant: Year Zero - discussion

Of course the world ends. It was always just a question of time. When it’s all over, Earth is still. Nature invades the ruined cities. Winds sweep through empty streets, turned into graveyards.

Yet life remains. In the Ark, a small settlement on the edge of a dead town, the People live. You are the spawn of humanity, but not human anymore. You are twisted funhouse images, mutated freaks. Your bodies and minds have incredible powers, but you are unstable. Fragile. None of the People are over 30 years old.

Except the Elder. Your leader, but not like you. One of the Old People. He has always warned you: Stay on your guard, stay in the Ark, or the Rot will get you. Or worse. So far, you have obeyed him. Chased off every stranger who came close to the Ark. Few dared to go out into the Zone. That is what the Elder calls the outside world.

But the safe days are over. Food is running scarce, and the fight for what’s left is turning violent. You hunger. Factions are forming, bosses on top and slaves on the bottom. In the middle, fixers who try to turn a profit from anyone and everyone. And the Elder is dying. You’re on your own now.

Okay character creation, it's fairly quick so we can do this on the first night, however to get things moving I can recommend downloading the free preview here: http://rpg.drivethrustuff.com/product/137280/Mutant-Year-Zero-FREE-Preview?term=mutant+year+zero

The latter half of the preview goes through the roles available to characters. All are available except for the Boss role (I don't fancy managing a PC who has a about 15 NPCs at his command!)

So have a look and let me know what role you each want to play. (Ideally, it'd be good it one person was a stalker - they're the guys who can find their way through the zone).

The game will take place in a mixture of the Ark - the rot free area which you have known all your life and the Zone, the area outside the Ark, which contains the ruins and remnants of the old world.

Ill Be the stalker
