Right.
So, I've been planning an RPG for quite some time now, and I've been tossing the ideas around back and forth forever.
I've got a basic idea for the plot, but I'm getting lost in terms of a setting and even finer details like villages and such, so I'd love to hear any imputs you may have.
The Basic Plot Idea:
People are dieing. Quickly. But no one knows how.
It started off with one or two people at a time, saying they wheren't feeling well, talking about going to the Doctors, then just vanishing into thin air. No one knows what happened to them.
Soon it was an all-out quarentine.
The town of ___insert town name where the RPG will be at___
was the last town to close its gates, and now no one gets in or out.
So, as you can see, the general idea is a bit sketchy.
Theres a plague, but once people start exhibiting the symptoms, they vanish. Maybe. I was thinking about a government agency (because the government is apparently hardcore) comes and takes the infected away, so no one knows what happens to them or what the disease even is.
Theres going to be a defining symptom that you know your screwed if you find it, but I'm not sure what that'll be. Probably some kind of marks on your hand.
I was going to have the RPG take place in a city, mainly because having a whole land or world while this disease is going on seems a bit hard, hence the idea for Quarentine.
This is where I'll need mods, especially mods who'll know the full story, to help me run the campaign as I'd like people to be uncertain and do some guess work, with a mod to lead them to the right ideas.
Anyway, I want the story to kinda start off with a handful of Infected trying to hide from the Quarentine Agency (or whatever the name of the group'll be) and center around them struggling to find a cure. Esentially, we'll need people in the Quarentine Agency, regular non-infected people, etc.

Any suggestions towards either the plot/storyline, city, or moderation ideas is greatly appreciate. Sorry about the general mess of this post, I'm trying to get everything written at once. xDD
