How to prepare

To ensure a smooth, immersive gaming experience in Last Ones Standing, here's what you'll need: Stable Internet Connection: As our game will be conducted online, a solid, reliable internet connection is essential to keep you in the action without interruptions. Microphone: Clear communication is crucial to our gameplay. Whether strategizing, sharing your backstory, or interacting with NPCs, you'll need a microphone to stay connected with your fellow survivors and the Game Master. Webcam (Optional): While not a requirement, I highly recommend using a webcam. It can significantly enrich the gaming experience, enabling you to react to and engage with the game and your fellow players more effectively. However, I understand that not everyone may be comfortable with this, so the choice is entirely yours. Character Creation Session: Before your first game, you'll meet with me to create your character. This straightforward process is an exciting opportunity for you to design your survivor, and I'll be there to guide you every step of the way. The beauty of Last Ones Standing lies in its simplicity. You won't need to install any complicated software, read extensive rulebooks, or bring your own dice or character sheet printouts. I handle all the complex aspects, leaving you free to focus on what truly matters – immersing yourself in the game, living your character's life, and navigating the exciting and challenging world of The Walking Dead.

What I provide

As your Game Master, my priority is to provide you with an engaging, immersive, and seamless gaming experience. Here's what I'll bring to every session of Last Ones Standing: Dynamic Maps: As we traverse the treacherous landscapes of this post-apocalyptic world, I'll provide evolving digital maps that reflect the changes our group encounters and the paths you choose to tread. While this map won't be physically handed out, it will be accessible for review and planning between sessions, helping you strategize for future games. Immersive Storytelling: Most importantly, I'll bring a deep, compelling narrative to each session. Drawing on the rich lore of The Walking Dead universe, I'll weave intricate plots, introduce challenging scenarios, and breathe life into a diverse cast of NPCs. My goal is to ensure that each session is a thrilling new chapter in your characters' survival saga. The world of The Walking Dead awaits you, fraught with danger and filled with potential. Together, we'll navigate its twists and turns, shaping your survivors' stories as we go.

Gameplay details

Safety and enjoyment are at the heart of every session of Last Ones Standing. I believe that every player should feel secure and comfortable in the environment we create. Here's how I maintain safety standards: Lines and Veils: At the outset of your first session, you'll receive a link to our Lines and Veils document. This helps establish which topics are completely off-limits (Lines) and which subjects are okay to include in the game but not to describe in detail (Veils). Please fill it out honestly and comprehensively - the document is confidential and its sole purpose is to maintain a respectful and comfortable gaming space for everyone. Open Communication: While our structure doesn't allow for a traditional Session Zero, open communication is a fundamental part of our game. Before, during, or after the sessions, my inbox is always open to you. Whether it's discussing your character, talking about possible storylines, or addressing any concerns or questions you may have, don't hesitate to reach out. Stars and Wishes: After every session, we will have a 'Stars and Wishes' debrief. 'Stars' are moments or elements of the game that you particularly enjoyed, and 'Wishes' are things you hope to see in future sessions. This provides an excellent way to recognise each other's contributions and helps me tailor future scenarios to what you're excited about. While Last Ones Standing: The Walking Dead Universe Living World will indeed immerse you in the suspenseful, survival-driven atmosphere of the post-apocalypse, it will always do so with respect for the boundaries and comfort of each and every player. Our goal is not just to create an engaging RPG experience but also to foster a space where every player feels respected and heard.

How will character creation work

Your character will be your alter ego in this post-apocalyptic world, and I believe in making that persona feel as authentic and exciting as possible. The character creation process is designed to be quick, simple, yet deeply immersive.

Whether you need help understanding the character sheets or brainstorming a compelling backstory, I'm here to ensure that your character creation experience is enjoyable and satisfying.

This continuity allows you to form a deep connection with your character and witness their transformation throughout the campaign.
