conversations.value: The world is ending, and ending quickly. Somewhere someone laid down and died, then stood back up, and started feeding. With every meal, another one is created. Hell begins to pour it's black blood onto normal life, sapping away everything we took for granted.
  
  This story should focus on the characters, their relationships and how they overcome the hardships that come with scarcity, the walking dead, and, worst of all, other survivors.
  
  Each of the characters should be a fairly normal person from a fairly normal life that found themselves unlucky enough to survive the worst of it. They will be strangers thrown together and bound together through shared adversity. Characters should have a backstory that allows the other characters to know the broad strokes of who they are and what they are about, however I expect the best part of character exposition to happen during play.
  
  Open invitation has opened to replace two players that real life has come (as it should) before play, and have left the game. The game is looking for one to three new survivors to join the party of survivors. Please read the existing story and submit. As the narrator, if I could wish for a character, it would be a pastor or a priest who actually wants to make a difference in this changed world. We had one, but he's one that had to leave unfortunately. We already have a "nerd" and a "biker", so those are out. Thanks for reading.
