Friends

If there's one way in which KTDARPG strongly emulates "The Tribe," it's in our friendships.

In a world gone mad if you don't have friends? You are truly screwed.

Many of the character-friendships we see inside the game reflect player friendships. A lot of our players spend time online & on IM getting to know others, feeling out their plans 'n plots, learning to know them as people to see how that plays out in game.

And that's all good. When players start learning about each other, they feed off each other creatively. The proof is in some extreme back-n-forth posting that shows strong character relationships. It also shows that players take the time to KNOW other characters.

Those friendships inside the game are powerful. They're also fun! A few examples...

Sid & Villa -- who knows their shared past, but the friendship we're seeing in game is rocky at best & potentially fatal at its worst!

Tresvant & Sable -- a friendship sure to go astray! Tresvant led Sable into a gambling den he thought he could handle. The results were riotous & also fatal to the tribe running the gambling.

Krystal & Simtwo -- ah, a budding relationship. Just talking to the guy has already got Krystal in hot water with her boyfriend.

Arianna & Valentine -- Two strong women who share the bond of a dead friend.

Ace, Jackie, Eris, Marionette, Zero & Nightshade -- friends with a bloody past who are now in Fort River & rebuilding their core group. They're helpful to the new friends they're making...very helpful...but you're always aware that Ace has an agenda. We just don't know what it is yet.

Friends in the New World.

Find a way to live with them, because you definitely can't live without 'em.
