about discovering and defying the apocalypse.

Session Zero: Egypt, Tennessee
Sidecar and mrhalfbit start with nothing but a fistful of dice and a dream. Quickly, we discover the start of Hudson and Vonn's stories...

New Year's Eve, 1999...

''It's been 2 weeks since it... happened... started?''

''We haven't left. We don't know what it's like outside. And the power is getting iffy.''

On the Table:




 * Harold Hudson, 65 - just "Hudson" to most - is here with grandson Vonn, 22
 * The CVS in the mall, where the two of us have been holed up with a few others.
 * A need to discover the truth of what happens inside The Temple, the mall's Egyptian-temple-themed arcade.

Rumors:


 * When you smell "that" in the air, it's time to RUN. - Sander
 * Maybe something about toxic rain? - missy_8130
 * There's a bunker somewhere in the mall.



Episode 1: New Year's Eve, 1999
The CVS is running out of water, and one person is expendable enough for Hudson to send him scouting: Bruce (Angus to his friends). What better way to ensure a rescue if it goes South than to bring Hudson's grandson, Vonn, along for the mission? They move toward The Temple, the arcade that mysteriously draws constant power despite the outages elsewhere. They encounter the dangers of the world outside their CVS safehouse, getting chased into The Temple while Hudson searches the mall for Vonn.

They discover that the gang chasing them through the mall is much younger than they first seemed - a bunch of skate kids calling themselves the Raptors. But before they leave, Vonn discovers an unfinished room behind the arcade wall, where people in the shadows keep the arcade running for an unknown purpose.

New Questions:


 * Can we get more water for the CVS?
 * Who are the other people in this CVS?
 * Why does Hudson watch the security cameras?
 * Who broke into the Forever 21 next door?
 * Who is behind the wall at The Temple?
 * How have Sid and the Raptors survived?
