�And when Hell is full, the Dead shall walk the Earth��

That is what the preachers used to say, but no one believed them.
Until it happened. You see it all started with the flu. The Black
Flu. First the victims would get what seemed to be bad cold, then
recover for a few days then suddenly erupt in black swollen lesions
across their bodies then intense fever, shivering and vomiting and
eventually death. Millions died across the globe as the vector of the
infection was never isolated. Most civilized nations declared martial
law but as more and more military and law enforcement personal fell
victim to the Black Flu, anarchy reigned. Cities become battlegrounds
as looters and plague panic tore civilization apart from within.

Now it�s several months later, well over 2/3 of the human population
has died either from the plague or the chaos that followed. And the
true nightmare has revealed itself. The plague dead has begun to
raise, clawing their way out of their crude mass graves and seeking
the living. No one knows why or how these walking dead have come to
be or what their purpose is beyond bringing death and infecting the
living with their taint, those who fall to the walking dead rise as
one unless their bodies are burned. Small pockets of humanity now
struggle to survive in world that has become a living Hell.

�And the Dead shall walk� will be a Survival Horror PBEM set in a Post
Apocalyptic inhabited by the walking dead, desperate survivors and
perhaps other surprises. The player character will be a small band of
humans, trying to escape the seemingly endless hordes of the undead,
their �fellow� humans and find some sanctuary, some measure of
safety. The campaign will begin in April 2000, in with Player
Characters already assembled outside of New York City. Almost any
character concept is welcome that would fit into a modern era game.
The game system will be Hero System Fifth Edition, but knowledge of
the game system is not a requirement. Character creation details will
be sent to those interested upon request. This game will include
scenes of graphic violence, adult language, themes and possibly
sexuality so all players must be 18+. What I am looking for are
strong role players, willing to portray �real� people in a desperate
situation. Please include a brief writing sample describing a bit of
your character background in the months of the plague and the
awakening of dead. I will choose from the best of these samples for
the core group.

The game will use Unisystem's "All Flesh Must be Eaten" role playing
game but knowledge of the system is not required,.

Please send character descriptions and backgrounds to: nexus@qx.net
with the subject [ATDSW]
