Basically, you are a leader of a gang of bandits in a post-apocalyptic, zombie-infested world. Your group mainly consists of armed thugs, not possessing many skilled workers or vulnerable people like workers or children. You must resort to predatory actions such as raiding and extortion in order to survive. If you're lucky, you will be able to establish a permanent community and ascend to the status of a true warlord, with control over workers and a personal retinue of militiamen. If you become powerful enough, you will be able to subjugate weaker settlements and force them to pay you tribute. Your goal should be to increase your power, wealth and influence, while keeping your gang happy and your vassal communities in line.

Currently, you lived in a cramped compound without any comforts. There isn't enough living space to keep everybody happy, and your group does not possess adequate tools to construct any new buildings anytime soon. You became leader of this gang after the previous leader either died, was usurped, or stepped down. The gang expects that you will take the group in a new direction.


  • Thread-wise, this is 1x1. However, this doesn't mean that cross-thread interaction can't occur with other potential players, assuming your groups aren't on opposite sides of the map. Still, expect this to be 1x1, with me essentially DMing. I will be controlling the world, environment, infected and NPC groups, as well as the problems and scenarios that you'll have to react to. I decide the outcomes of your decisions using logic and occasionally dice.
  • Aside from your own character, you do not control any survivors; you lead them. The NPCs all have distinct personalities.
  • This roleplay takes place in a fictional universe, specifically in a Western-style country called the Central Republic. Do not reference brands, people, or places from the real world. Ask me if you have any questions.
  • If you decide to personally accompany your survivors in the field (for example, during a scavenging run or battle), they will likely benefit from your presence. However, you have the possibility of getting killed. If your leader character dies, then the RP ends.
  • Time goes by at various speeds. You can lapse into "character mode" where you actually play around ICly if you want. Otherwise, you can do things from "command mode" where you can give orders and get results relatively quickly.
  • I'll only do a few of these roleplays. They take awhile to set up. I can't stop you from poofing for no reason, but uh... y'know, it'd be cool if you didn't.
