EMP or electromagnetic pulse is one of the effects of detonating a nuke. It will take out all electronics. That white flash was probably a nuke. All modern cars depend on electronics to operate. We're so screwed.

EMP or electromagnetic pulse is one of the effects of detonating a nuke. It will take out all electronics, unless they're protected by a faraday's cage. All military bases have one. If it's strong enough, the military will still be able to communicate. There's a base nearby. Whomever dropped that bomb might know it and come a knocking. We're so screwed.[/sblock]

You guys rock. Five pages of roleplaying, no violence of any kind yet. On the other hand, if i keep the characters in that house for long enough someone will get shot LOL.
I'm having fun. The story isn't going anywhere, but this is just very very cool stuff. Rock on.

There goes the skinny dipping idea though

Thanks Dr Z - keep on keepin on

How's the feeling about pacing? I love the ingame talk, and I'm very hesitant to forcefully declare another day has passed or whatever, but I don't know if any of you think this game is way too slow or something. I feel it's going along nicely. Just let me know, I try to intervene as little as possible, but will jumpstart it when you guuys feel it's too slow.

No, I think we're fine, though if you add a little in game feedback on occasion it might help (what we may find on the tuner if we try (not much now)) what's in the gun case, ect). Once everyone's huddled up and the fires setup indoors, you can probably move to a new day if nothings going to happen.

I am in a PBP game that has taken several months to get passed the first few hours, so this game is moving just fine.

I took a bit of liberty with his father’s death. We never talked about how he died, and if he died in horrible accident at a lab or something he could have been told that story. Or he uses that story because the real story is just too horrible to remember. Just let me know if it’s ok.
Plus I just thought that the idea was cool, and explains why he is protective.

Whew - just had to step in for a breather - it's gettin' kinda hot in there

guns, guns, guns

The weapon case contains four guns (don't have the modern firearms comp with me, will edit later) and a crossbow.
One is a long range hunting rifle with a scope, for big game hunting.
one is a lighter caliber, but also with scope.
Two guns are two-barreled hunting rifles, for buckshot.
The hunting crosbow looks nice as well.

For those with a more medieval (or desperate) nature.
There's a large axe in the basement, a chainsaw, two machetes. The kitchen could provide you with a few knives, and one or two hunting knives can also be found.
A big hammer could do some serious damage as well.
Feel free to improvise with whatever you think is available.

(I haven't ever handled a rifle in my life. I'm not a hunter. If I make a few serious errors, correct me, but I won't believe the stats for a hunting rifle are the same of a .50 sniper rifle )
