RE: The Zombie Steed

in Alien Art Hive3 years ago

Haha that would be kind of an interesting premise to a VERY high-concept story. Some kind of alternate universe where during Feudal times there was a zombie livestock situation going on - the ultimate and most evil renewable resource!

Sort:  

It is actually exactly what it is becoming - even more high-concept than just zombies. I have agreed to play some roleplaying again now that me and my mates (50% family) have children and wifes who doesn't need us much anymore and are busy and self-propelled (goes for those wives too). So the Norn God I made a drawing of the other day and this piece might be the beginning of some serious world building. I am sure I will get back with more.

Awesome, whether it's a scenario for a role-playing game, or a story you're writing, I think it's a fun premise to explore!

If zombies are so useful, then the feudal lords would have hoarded them and not let the peasants in on the action, but some peasants probably would manage to keep a few zombies in their herd, or maybe if the zombies are dangerous, the peasants are forced by the feudal lord to be their handlers...

Yes, maybe it will become both rpg and a story. I have too many plans for my own good, but as a way of exploring the universe a pen and paper RPG is a good way. The premise I have come up with is so bleak that I will have to try it out to see if it will be attractive at all.
