Zombies! sim looking for players

In the year 2011, and thanks to mankind’s ability to overmedicate himself, a strain of the flu caused a serious problem: those who died didn’t stay dead. Within a year of this outbreak, the entire world as many know it had ended. Society had to pick itself up as the survivors fled underground to begin anew. What came from this destruction was a new world order full of civilians, Jumpers, Foragers, Guardians, and Cleaners, all meant to help keep humankind alive and in touch with each other. Above ground, the answer and keys to why the dead returned to life are hidden in research facilities long abandoned – but the undead also roam above, ready and willing to consume the flesh of the unwary. And as if that weren’t bad enough, it seems as if the same thing that caused the zombies to evolve in the first place has allowed a scant few to retain the most devastating ability of all: their intelligence... 

Dondi Ratliff's Zombies! sim is looking for at least two more players before he can get going. For an action-packed sim set in The Big Easy, with undead aplenty, please contact him now!

Atlantis heading for 1000 posts

The first sim created in Phoenix (in fact it was intended for DDC) looks like being the first to hit the 1000 post milestone.

With 946 posts in 20 threads at time of writing; it is 190 posts ahead of Jericho, another sim inspired by Firefly. The third most posted-in sim is The West Star, in the Star Wars section.

Atlantis is actually more popular than every forum except Management.

Well done to Mike Palmer and his crew!

Quantum of Mercenary

Another sim set in Joss Whedon's Firefly universe has arrived at Phoenix Roleplaying - Kvant.

This action-packed, dramatic and at times deeply satirical RP focusses on a special operations vessel of the Eagles of Warsaw, an elite mercenary group, as they face their toughest challenging yet - protecting rock musicians.

The sim needs a CO and some mercenaries, so please contact Silent Hunter via PM or email today!

Discussion on the future of the Star Trek sims

Due to a massive decline in activity, Phoenix Roleplaying is holding an open consultation on the future of the two Star Trek sims on the site (Starbase 222 and USS Repulse). The current proposal involves mothballing one or both sims until demand picks up, but this is by no means a certainty.

The thread is here, so please make your opinions heard.
