A Covid Isolation minimum 5 day project
So as previously mentioned I tested positive for Covid yesterday – finished of painting my miniatures – then thought what can I do for the next minimum 4 days of isolation? The decision was to use The Last Days: Zombie Apocalypse (LDZA) rules by Ash Barker, along with the Solo rules from The Last Days: Seasons (LDZAS) supplement, Ash’s own random chaos party creator (CTS) and the community created Prequel campaign(PC) to play a series of games.
Some of this I will video – others will be just snap shots and if I really don’t feel up to it you may just get a post game write up.
So lets start – Now the Prequel works best if the leader is an Everyday hero (P3 PC), 12SP – so I wont be rolling for the leader type (P3 CTS)
- So Roll 1 – Weapon and Equipment Table (P3 CTS) – Rolled 5 – Roll on Ranged weapon table (P3 CTS)
- Roll 2 – 4 – Roll on SMG Table (P4 CTS) – Military SMG 6SP
- 2nd equipment item – Roll 1 – Rolled 1 – Roll on CQC Weapon (P3 CTS)
- Roll 2 – Rolled 1 – Club 2SP
- So the Leader is an Everyday Hero with a Military SMG and Club – Worth 20SP
- Using the extra rules from the Chaos Theory Supplement – (p8 CTS) –
- the leaders Aspiration is – Roll 6 then 3 – Saviour – pretty good for a selfless leader
- The leaders flaw is – Roll 2 then 1 = Wrathful – ooo so they may be a saviour but don’t cross them.
- The leaders quirk is – Roll 5 then 2 – Spit talker – so the group won’t want to stand too close to them – or may recommend that they keep wearing a face mask to reduce infection.
The leader will be represented by this lass
Just to add some more to this – I’ve used BehindTheName.com to randomly generate the characters names and back story – so let me give you
For the Prequel Campaign I also need to generate a second character (p6 CTS)
- Roll on Selfless character table – Rolled 2 – Rescue worker 9SP
- Equipment roll 1 – Rolled 6 – Roll on the miscellaneous table (p4 CTS)-
- Rolled a 6 – so character 2 starts with some medical supplies 2sp. As this is not a weapon they must roll again
- Equipment roll 2 – Rolled 3 – which is a CQC Table roll (p3 CTS)
- Rolled a 6 – Heavy Blade – 3sp
- So character 2 is a Rescue Worker with Medical Supplies and a Heavy Blade worth – 14SP
- Using the extra rules from the Chaos Theory Supplement – (p8 CTS) –
- Character 2’s Aspiration is – Roll 6 then 4 – Heroics – could be dodgy – possibly lead them to taking unnecessary risks
- Character 2’s flaw is – Roll 4 then 5 = Naïve – so not only a hero but also not worldly wise
- Character 2’s quirk is – Roll 1 then 5 – Tick – this may be why they are not worldly wise a little shy due to their tick lead to them not being very social.
- From my survivor collection I’ve chosen this chap to be Survivor 2- lots of carrying space and a nice big Heavy Blade.
And again courtesy of Behindthename.com, I give you Todd -who it has to be said is not looking too bad for 61. :-)
Now I need to roll for a refuge – 2 die getting – 6 and 3 total 9 (p5 CTS) – meaning that the starting refuge is A Sport Arena, which means a max group size of 12. Currently I have spent 34Sp of the starting 100SP, so plenty of potential for improvement.
Now Scenario 1 in the Prequel Campaign is – Save the Cat – and there is a chance that an extra survivor will be discovered. I will need to randomly generate this survivor as well.
