Interest Check / Possible Recruitment - DayZ TT

Be sure to read and follow the guidelines for our forums.

Hi there! I've been sitting on this idea for quite a while. DayZ, a longtime favorite game of mine, is a Multiplayer Zombie Survival game about looting and shooting your way through abandoned towns, and I've always thought it would work great as an RPG. So, I built a system from scratch. I recently stumbled across this site and it feels like an interesting way to test it!

Some notes:
A. This system is completely untested. There will be jank, so come with an open mind.
2. As said above, I just found this site, so give me some time to figure it all out.

The system itself is pretty simple, since it predated me having ever played a tabletop. d20s for skill checks, simplistic skill-point based system.
Details about the campaign I've written in Character Gen.

Be kind unless you snuck up, and when in doubt, F11. -Cr

Hiya, folks. I've been sitting on the idea for a while of making a DayZ Tabletop. Tl;dr: DayZ is a multiplayer zombie survival game focused on looting and usually becoming someone else's loot.
I made this homebrew system a while ago, but I've always struggled to set aside the time to actually test/play it. Then I found PbP, which sounds like it solves that problem.
Note that I have never actually used this system, so there's GOING to be jank. We'll deal with it as it comes.

So, this is an interest check which can blend into recruitment if people are interested. Currently eyeing 3 people at a 1/day rate, but both are super negotiable if there's high interest. Also life, life comes first.

All are welcome, regardless of experience.
If you're interested, reply with your experience with Tabletops and/or survival games.

The idea for the campaign itself is that PCs are stranded as their hiking trip is interrupted by the outbreak of a virus that turns the infected into zombies- but in the sense that they're still "alive."

So, what're we feeling? I'm happy to field questions.

Digging it so far. It looks like it would be fun to try out.

I will say, the tables seem to cut off the right-most column. But that's just a formatting hitch.
