Rain tapped softly against the train windows as Tokyo drifted by in streaks of neon and reflected light. Office workers swayed with the motion of the late-evening Yamanote Line, eyes fixed on glowing phone screens, half-asleep after another ordinary day. Somewhere above the city, thunder rolled low between the towers. At Shinjuku Station, the train slowed and then stopped. The lights flickered once. Twice. Then the carriage plunged into darkness.

For three long seconds, there was only silence.

Then came the screaming.

At first, no one understood. A businessman near the far door collapsed, convulsing violently against the floor. A schoolgirl tried to help him, only for his hand to snap around her wrist with impossible strength. People shouted. Someone pounded on the emergency button. Blood splattered across polished shoes and shopping bags as panic spread faster than reason. By the time the lights stuttered back to life, half the carriage was fighting to escape the other half.

Above ground, the city kept moving. Crosswalk signals changing, convenience stores humming, taxis weaving about through wet streets. In Akihabara, someone laughed outside an arcade. In Shibuya, a couple argued beneath a plastic umbrella. In Ikebukuro, a young woman stared at the emergency alert suddenly flashing across every phone screen at once.

"Stay indoors. Avoid all contact. This is not a drill."

Across Tokyo, sirens began to rise.

And somewhere in the chaos, a handful of ordinary people, students, salarymen, bartenders, nurses, runaways, dreamers, looked up and realized the world had just ended.

Everyone else just didn’t know it yet.

Greetings!

Long time lurker and roleplayer, but this is my first time posting an ad here as a GM. I'm interested in running a very anime stylized zombie apocalypse campaign using the system Dead Flesh. I plan to run a story set in modern day Tokyo from the outset of an outbreak leaning heavily on anime aesthetics for characters.

What is Dead Flesh?

It's an obscure Mork Borg hack meant specifically for this subgenre. The rules are very simple and easy to pick up. I will be happy to teach newcomers as we go. If you're completely unfamiliar with Mork Borg it is primarily a d20 based system and if you've played any game that involves rolling a d20, adding a modifier, and comparing it to a target number then you'll get along just fine.

But what is Mork Borg?

It's a rules light vaguely OSR inspired rpg system known for its art punk sensibilities that has taken off with many variants and hacks being developed. While it uses a lot of familiar conventions (d20+stat vs DC) it also incorporates some modern concepts like all checks being player facing. For example, enemies in combat don't roll to hit. Their target instead makes a check to avoid being harmed. This keeps things simple, swift, and frees up the GM to focus on storytelling.

We will be making some changes from the core rules. The implied setting for Dead Flesh is well into the apocalypse assuming PC's are established survivors and also features some fantastical elements (magic, zombified PC's, etc.) which we will be ignoring. I plan to roll things back and start our story at the initial moment of outbreak as our PC's come together to fight for their survival.

I'll also be including some simple House Rules to put emphasis on the pervier elements of our story. The game uses a meta-currecy called Grit (similar to Omens from Mork Borg or vaguely like D&D's Inspiration or the concept of Hero Points, etc.) and PC's will have some additional options to generate it through engaging in erotic activities. Furthermore, I've adapted the popular "shields shall be splintered" house rule to give PC's a bit more survivability by allowing armor-less PC's to be able to narrate their clothing being torn/ripped/shredded/etc. and in exchange negate taking any damage from a successful hit.

Who am I?

Mostly a Forever GM, but I have also spent a lot of years writing doing free-form roleplay on message boards when those were a thing. So I've been looking for a game like this to get to write some again and bridge the gap on two hobbies I love. I prefer to write in third person and can be a bit long-winded. I try to match the pace of everyone else as needed, but I'll gladly churn out multiple paragraphs endlessly if left to my own devices.

As far as the spicy side of things, I would say my tastes are probably vanilla to most people here. However, I am pretty wildly indifferent on most kinks so I get along easily with others and there is not much that puts me off. Probably some of my favorites include things like outfits/cosplay/costumes/lingerie, bondage, monster girls. Limit-wise I tend to just avoid bodily waste and very extreme content in the vein of things like sexualized gore or snuff.

Potential Player Info:

Character-wise I'm fine with a random mix or if the group decides to lean into a motif together that is great as well. By concept of story, everyone will be regular everyday Humans living in Tokyo and with a minimum age of 18. I'm not going to give you some percent split between story and smut because I find those are often incorrect and ultimately I feel that I am a story focused GM and I think the best smut happens when it is couched in the context of a good story.

I also won't be setting a strict posting schedule. Something like once a day minimum once we get rolling would be ideal. Communication is the important thing to me. If you get busy, if real life hits hard, just let the group know. I am always happy to write around a character momentarily to keep momentum going if needed and otherwise try to be understanding of unexpected situations.

I am looking to gather a group of 3-6 players. While there may be times where the party splits up, this will be a focused tale on the PC's and though the concept lends itself well to it, I have no interest in running a west march style open-ended game at this time.

If any of that catches your interest, shoot me a dm/chat with the following information listed below:

-RP Sample:

I will give it about a day so people have time to see the ad and will then be contacting prospective players as swiftly as I can.

You can feel free to share a kinklist/kinksheet if you have one, but I am primarily interested in your top favorites as, ideally, I would like to incorporate such elements into the story.

Don't feel like the RP Sample is some test, more just a formality. If you are inspired to write something up that's cool, but feel free to pilfer a sample from a prior PBP game or the like that you've already written. Don't let this be a hurdle to applying if you are interested.

You also do not immediately need a character concept, once the group is assembled we will do a proper session zero to define the setting further and make characters. That said, if you're eager on an idea feel free to share in advance.

I suffer from being long-winded about most things, so if you made it to the end here I'd just like to say thank you for your time and happy gaming!
