Five tabletop gamers suddenly and without warning find themselves thrust into a series of dangerous and terrifying scenarios, forced to adapt and act like characters in a role playing game. They struggle to stay sane and in touch with their humanity as they try and figure out exactly what's going on and how they can stop the endless cycle.

The twist? They are characters in a game, being played by the author as he writes the story. Survival Mode is a narrative solo roleplaying game Let's Play presented as serial fiction. Call it a LitsPlay, or a LPFic or something.

* This is a solo RPG. It's me, using GURPS and some sort of GM emulator. Likely one that'll change as time goes on. I roll dice to decide what happens according to the game mechanics, and then write it up like a story.
* The PCs were created randomly using the RPG supplement Central Casting: Heroes NOW and written up as 75 point characters in GURPS. That makes them somewhat capable but ordinary people unsuitable for a life of adventure, but they have to do it anyway.
* The game is written in a narrative third person style. You can ignore the mechanical footnotes and just read it like a story.
* We're using pre-written RPG scenarios as our base, but will divert as our GM emulator dictates.

This is an Actual Play (simiar to a video game Let's Play) report of a game in progress, one that I play while writing, using real published RPG materials from different companies.

The Virus Within: The Unranked (Book 4)

50 parts Complete

Season 4 of The Virus Within Trinity is familiar with zombies, being one herself, but when strange zombies start appearing, she realizes that the world she knew might be changing yet again. When a dangerous set of scientific notes are discovered, Trinity and her friends don't realize anything is wrong until a frantic radio call comes in. Unaware of the notes, they race to the south and struggle to determine where the strange zombies came from. The zombies are unlike any ranks previously seen, and they aren't as predictable. Some have new tricks hidden up sleeves, forcing any Stronghold they encounter to quickly adapt to the new challenge or risk being overrun. Secrets never remain hidden, and zombie apocalypses never make life easy.
