General Chaos / Re: What Vidja games are you playing?

Just did a beta weekend for Star Wars Old Republic, I enjoyed very much so getting my bounty hunter on. Also DCU is now free to play, it's a fun mmo so if you need a mmo to play while you wait for something else to come out it works well for that. I also have been playing Gears of War 3 and Sonic Generations. Gears is like the others chainsaw gun people to death. Sonic Generations is fun, a good mixed of old school Sonic and the new style of Sonic games.

We have a lot of customers that only follow a certain creator or artist and jump from one comic series to another. I'm not say that the whole zombie craze is slowing down. Walking Dead sells great at the shop. Just a lot of zombie stuff thats been coming out is hit or miss. Also Ross I asked a buddy of mine that used to be high up at Image's marketing department if he thinks if your book would be something they would be interested to pick up or any other indie company. I'm just waiting to hear back from him, but he's is a bit busy with with own comic that seems to of just been banned in Germany.

Sorry to say I got not so good news for you Ross. 

She likes what she see's from your website but she is unsure about carrying it in the shop. Seems that zombie stuff has been slowing down for us lately and our customers are hesitant to buy a book from to unknown publisher. Her suggestion is to get picked up by a publisher, she used to publish comics and knows a lot of people who publish, so she knows what she's talking about.

The shop is Illusive comics and games (add shameless plug here). The comics is done though Diamond (like there's a choice). I think Baker and Taylor is her normal book distribution. If she likes what she see's (and how could she not) then she'll want to know more. Like pricing and what not.

Much like yourself I am a monster so I may just do that. I'm also surprised that you didn't just tell me to buy your book

Hey Ross. I need your zombie knowledge. Got any suggestions of what kind of zombie I should have in my game. I'm unsure if I want the classic slow moving ones or something more of the recent stlye that can ran, climb, etc. I was thinking of doing something like depending on condition of the zomibe would determine on what it can do.

Yeah I wouldn't just kill them off because I got bored or something. Only issue I got now is what happens if someone dies before the rest of the group.

So, I thought of a cool idea to totally mess with my players. We're about to finish the Night Floors (tonight is part 4). So, once they finish that, we're going to hop into the walking dead story. How i'm going to mess with them is that when they all die. We'll automaticly switch back to DG, where they wake up back on the night floors. I'm thinking that would be a D20 san loss.

My group of friends did something similar to this, but instead we all statted our characters by commitee. Ex: I think I have high POW because i'm patient and level headed. Then the group would all discuss. Came to a bit of everyone voting themselves with low APP which means we all apparently have low self image.

Yeah, I have a plan to do something like that. We normally do character generation together anyways, because they want to bounce ideas off me anyways.

I've been playing the remake of Guardian Hero's on XBLA. Good times, many fond memories of my Sega Saturn. It's still a fun game, graphics did get a small boost, some of the effects like how a spell looks when fired have been upgraded, and some of the text have been changed.

Thanks for all the suggestions guys. I thought about using AFMBE but I don't know the system very well yet and most of my players have never done anything expect D&D and CoC. Moondog I like your idea for the mini prologues. Also I know my players would try to pad their stats so i'm ready to veto their stats. My only issue with using CoC is that for the stats like STR and INT for example, how to do you gauge that when the book doesn't give you much to go on.

I've been throwing around an idea for a CoC campagin. Basicly it's Walking Dead. All the players stat their characters as themselves. For example I got one player that does HVAC, so it would make sense if his mechanical repair was higher than the base. If they acutally own a gun they can start with one. Basicly whatever knowledge or items you have in the real world, your character gets. I would use real world weather conditions for whatever area they're in. You can only carry so much on you. You'll need to worry about food, water, ammo, etc. Not fully sure how to start it off, I don't want them to just wake up and everything is already fucked up, like in Walking Dead. So, anyone got any thoughts of what to add, a good starting point, maybe a better system to use instead of CoC? I'm open to any suggestions.
