This is Z-LAND where humanity is no longer the top of the food chain, where every day could be your last. Hunger, Thirst, Sleep and Exposure all wear down on you in a battle of attrition with the unstoppable Dead. Find the answer to the question "just how long would I survive" as you and your friends attempt to do just that. What makes Z-LAND unique is we take the survival aspect of survival-horror very seriously. You will see your character weaken as sleep deprivation, hunger & thirst slowly whittle them down.
But that is where the choice comes in, will you just take it? Or will you do anything & everything necessary to survive? How much of yourself can you retain in your battle to survive?
In the early days of the outbreak with panic settling in, you will decide your fate. Hunker down and horde as many supplies as you can or try and flee the cities with thousands of others? Your decisions in the early days will greatly effect the path of survival you take. Will you group up with other survivors and put your trust in them? Or will try and make it on your own, unable to trust the fast changing face of human-kind. All that is good and well but with the constant threat of the “living dead” you might not have the luxury of choice. They are quick and relentless, they do not suffer the penalties of hunger & thirst and have little need for sleep. They are the living nightmare that will never stop hunting your kind.
You will lose people along the way, friends, family and it won’t be easy but survival never is. This is your story and you will decide it’s end...

"World's ending? Let's check 4Chan!" -Chloe, July 5th, 2017. Flawless.
hey man, they're awful but legit lmao
=D
I'm sure /b/ would have some insight...
Lol
I feel like this game is the type where you really learn something about your friends.
+brittany brinker it's why I did my first Campaign years ago hehe to better understand how people change under stress
that dramatic opening just tells you shit's gonna hit the fan.
+Grand Exalt Owain 😊
Watching this post Covid feels like a mistake. I honestly made a comment about this series being scary in general, but current events elevate it. Honestly my paranoia has lately been pretty bad and I just quickly put the chain lock on the door. I shouldn't be watching this even if I do love it, but I just can't help it. I just wanna say just how much I truly appreciate this tho despite my fears lately. Thanks for such a great showing.
Stay safe out there 😊
@@ryconroleplays Same to you.
This is honestly great guys. Being a NZ'er adds a little bit of extra tension and suspense. I didn't think I'd be as engaged in this as I am but I was more nervous while Chloe was peeking out the window than what I have been in any horror film/ game ever. So immersed.
+Lowrona Awesome! Thanks for watching
This is amazing. The roleplay, the way you guys communicate, and the creepy moments that make me think the zombie is outside my house as well. Good job guys on this. I can't wait for the next ep.
Man haven't had a series on UA-cam make my heartbeat that fast in a while. I'm hoping though that the zombies stay a terrifying force instead of becoming more of annoyance like in the walking dead.
Well, the entire point of TWD is that humans are way more monstrous than zombies. The Zeds just try to eat you, driven by instinct and are completely predictable, while a person can be your staunchest ally one moment and then hamstring you to ensure they escape the next.
@@ChargeQM Yeah but then after like 3 years of zombies they know how and that they can kill them but they just run away and cry because the big mean slow zombies are scary
rycon+tabletop gaming+ zombies= match made in heaven!
+Ray Wilson 😍
Now... I wonder how the psychological aspect of this game will go as the game progresses but can't wait. Also, it's really cool to see these recorded because it's not just a game it's a game with friends and ends up becoming this even more enjoyable experience. Great work guys.
Glad that you're enjoying, the psychological aspects will change our characters for better or for worse, which I love, I'll be completely different in game to how I imagined now. I won't be the same Rycon that's for sure
He who fights with monsters should look to it that he himself does not become a monster. And if you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you.
~Friedrich Nietzsche
now.. the only question's... which CBM's and Mutation tree. ;)
ffejpsycho CDDA joke.
@@ffejpsycho might I suggest ignoring those silly mutations? Have one of these delicious berries instead!
(the mycus must grow)
unexpectedly this series has been quite funny so far
+CircaSriYak there certainly will be lols along the way
"So.....how long before we eat the cat?"
XD
Here we go... it's getting exciting! Not that it wasn't from the beginning xP
Hello by the way *tips hat*
Lucid Psycho Hello, stranger
_group hug_
Loved your Z-LAND poem by the way, badass
Yeah this is the beginning of the end for all of us
Just got my self a copy of Z-LAND and can't waite to try it with my friends. thx for all the great work Rycon and friends. a friend fron Québec
+samy adassi 😊
watching this in 2021, it would have been interesting to do this with my old DnD group, because at the time we were 5 gunsmithing students in the US. access to an arsenal, thousands of rounds, hand and machine tools, bluprints, knowledge of all sorts of gun and camping knowledge
That's cool with the realism of being traumatic at seeing g the first zombie
This episode had me on the edge of my seat. Excited/nervous to see how that grevious mental wound will play into the story ;)
It will really change both my self and Chloe
Finally watching this and hearing that a 10hr drive gets you from one side of the island to the other... and a 10hr drive where I'm at gets you across a state.
this is surprisingly fun to watch. thanks for this series rycon enjoying the hell out of it on my day off
+Matthew Brendley glad to hear, we love making it
Also love the intro music, the big explotiony sounds. Adds a nice touch to it
this can actually be pretty intense to listen to
+Jildo Ranto it certainly can, just wait till the next part!
Pft, an 8 hour drive! That's the average American daily commute!
If y'all end up doing the whole Cataclysm mobile death fortress thing, be sure to bring a garden hose with you for siphoning gas! It's only got a year or so of being good left in it and presumably no one is making more. :)
As a side survival tip, the thing that kept our group hydrated in our Zombie campaign was breaking into abandoned houses and draining their hot water tanks. We also went around taking advantage of transpiration from plants during the leaner times. With transpiration you take a large clear plastic bag and tie it off around a bundle of very leafy plants; give the sun four or five hours to work, and eventually you'll get about 1/3rd a cup of water. It's not much, but if you put up a few dozen of them it'd keep your survivors going! Just avoid toxic plants or you'll die like I did. :p
Yeah we've hit hot water tanks in the past, luckily for the most part there are many fresh water sources in NZ. In a fix the tanks are great though, toilet cisterns too
Whenever me and the boys go down to florida it's a 14 hour drive from the mid east coast. and that's only half way down the continent.
gas only lasts for a few months before expiring like 4 or 5 usually. wonder if they will take the Walking dead route or realistic?
Good job guys, i tried to fall asleep listening to this, but i couldn't because of this eerie feeling of fear i got the whole time😂
+John Harwick 😊
This is really great Rycon!
Cheers drew
Rycon I am loving this series so far
You know your stuffed when a young girl takes out a full grown man.... :/
Yep!
Oh yeah!
Do zombies have super strength?
Watching this WHOLE thing lets go so good so far
Rycon is the most dramatic speaker I've ever heard. Another great video, you've eally managed to make the zombies a scary and believable threat. Great job Rycon, as always
This music is scary like hell good job making me scared 👍
This is fun to watch, I enjoy hearing you guys reason out decisions and then get faced with a roll of the dice.
This is making me feel physically frightened, and feel as if there actually is a apocalypse going on. It's making me jump to small sounds and even at one point grab a knife. That's how fucking great it is, inspiring true fear AND paranoia to real people.
+Nick Moore fantastic, your with us now Nick
You need to stop watching if you feel the need to go grab a knife when listening to Z-Land and go consult a psychologist.
Astralek IT WAS A JOKE
Rycon,this is a great watch.Wish i was there to lend a Kentucky boy skill set.
+Scott Bayer we'll send you a wish you where here post card 😊
Absolutely love the bits of humor throughout, Really breaks the tension. 29:30 made me laugh pretty hard
Man I am hooked on this! Can't wait to see the rest of Chapter 1!
I get too excited when I see this up in my alert box. I'm loving this series so far. Surprised no one checked UA-cam in the group.
This series is awesome! Can’t wait to see more! :))
This is awesome, Chloe was hilarious.
This is extremely fun to watch
=D
Snach a boat...find a smaller, less populated island and gather information and make a plan? How hard would it be to obtain firearms? Its hard to beat someone (something) to death with an ax or hatchet....how is that going to play out? Great show so far! Keep it coming fellas.
+Fred Riley let's hope we'll be answering those questions
Oh yeah boi Z-Land!
I’m in Texas and I can hardly leave the state in that amount of time
Fucking love it my good man, you should play some more table top RPs as you have a pretty sweet set up (other than the fault at the end that is)
I think it'll be even better next time =) learnt a lot from this session
Nice setting with friends. Cool.
oh man i realy realy like that...never seen a Pen and Paper Zombie themed :D please keep going :3
The music is giving me chills I love it
Please upload the parts to this series faster! Only 2 episodes in and I'm addicted lol
I wish I had friends to play these sorts of games with :O
+Shinesp head to the discord in the description lots of friendly people there any many trying to form groups for all kinds of roleplaying
This awesome, so glad I backed the game ;) Keep it up Rycon
Looking forward to having the full sexy version
I'm soo happy that this is happening I loved you guys de this.
+Stewart Pierce it's my favorite day getting together to do this 😊
I'm most certainly getting this when it comes out. Can't wait.
This is where the fun begins.
Indeed it does, capital F FUN!
Out of curiosity, where did you get the sound effects (glass breaking, the scream, etc) from?
@Damoclese: I looked for public domain sound effects on Google. There are thousands of sound effects available, so you just have to sort the ones requiring a license or attribution from the public domain "do what you want with them" ones.
its like discussing the a novel befor its written
This is a nice RPG😺😸
god this game is brutal 😂
+nathan rea sure is!
This seris is so good i am rewatching it. Great video!!!
this is awesome, when they failed the stealth roll ahaha!
You guys have the best imitations of screams xD
XD Lmao
This is so good i cant wait for more
+Bradly Clarke well there's more out now 😊
Chloe: widespread rioting?! You all get some rest, I'll watch. A movie.
DM: After an hour you hear a horriffic scream
Chloe: Like an "AIIIIEEEEEE", or a "Raaaghh", or what exactly are we talking here?
DM: Peeking out you see a man's eyeballs's being eaten from his head. Acquire hysterical blindness, PTSD, vitiligo.
Chloe: Vitiligo?
DM: Sorry, necrotizing fascitis
Someday someone will be watching this as the apocalypse happens
42:21 Holy shit, sorry Chloe but I cracked the fuck up.
All I could think of when you were checking Facebook was "should I stay or should I go"
Tanks You :)
12:30 this is going to be a great series
AHHHH I LOVE THESE SOOOOOOOOOOO MUCH!!! I want more haha!
+MidnightWolf more coming each week 😊
"We don't smell horrible" **Everyone looks at blonde**
God taking stock of the things around my house I would be looked at as a crazy person in New Zealand
+MASTER MEME hehe or just the kind of person we need right now
This is great!! Sometimes everyone is so serious that it feels like it's really happening. :-)
Real good vibes off you folk
WOOHOO!!
Damn I feel the nostalgia haha.
That Chloe one is a massive liability. Interested to see how this played out.
Great narrating

This query may have been answered already, either in the Townhall or in a comment, but nevertheless, I have to wonder whether those infected by this disease are still able to contract illnesses; specifically those contracted as a result of an act of cannibalism.
Lucas Collinsgru, they are still alive so it is a possibility.
8 hr drive, naw not far 42 hr yea pretty far drive 😂 LoL
Yeah distances are funny here haha
As a Texan I can backup this comment. I can barely leave my state in any direction in 5 hours.
I like this z land
So are the beta rules for the $2 the full rule set? Or is there a book coming along for it? I think I recall mention of a book a while ago (granted I haven't checked back in in several months) and I'd sure love to own a copy of everything related to this. It seems wonderful so far, great job guys!
Shit hit the fan so quickly there ! Why do I feel it's just getting started ? =D
Chloe pun count: 3
so funny and very intense!
yesssssssssssss
+Abraham Hale correct response 😊
ugh. I hate having to wait for a week for only an hour long episode :( but atleast it's coming.
+Brayden Ward would want to release more faster but it would mean a long wait till next chapter. Also with them being an hour it means some folk would struggle to keep up. Who knows we might change it up if there is enough demand
Rycon Roleplays Nah man keep the pace. as long as its only a week in between 😉
Hello there
What is the name of the music you are using for ambience
Yes sometimes russians on vacation look like zombies, but i find it very offensive! =) Edit: This story is so damn dark that every episode cracks me open...
Hey Rycon! Or anyone who knows really, is there a place to read about the virus and what not in the game. I'm kinda feeling in a writer's mood lately and would love to use Z-Land as a base to write a story I've had in my mind for a while now after seeing these videos. Kinda like a fan fiction or something.
Anyway aside from that, keep up the good work! Been watching your videos since the start of the Skyrim series a while back, love the content, especially these Z-Land ones, as someone who loves roleplay an absolute shitton, these are quality, much like the rest of your content. You've only gotten better over time, definitely one of my favorites. My tongue is brown enough now so I'll leave it at that.
Everything will be in the final game book, the beta that we have available at the moment is light on story elements. They won't be introduced until the published book which is a 2018 release. Sorry I know that doesn't help you at the moment, you might be able to differ aspects of it from our play-through though ;)
I've got a basic idea, for now I'll wait and simply watch the parts as they come out. Thanks Rycon! Keep up the good work, mate.
I know you're really far in now, but could you add like drawings? Like the GM draws a scene on a paper and takes a picture and adds it to the side of the screen. And maybe the character sheets could be at the bottom and updates with events. It'd take a good amount of work but it's just an idea and i'm fine if you don't have the time to do it.
Rycon how did you find or create the animations for the intro etc.
As a curious man, I'm totally going to die first.
Haha I just hope you survive long enough for us to meet again
Intermittent fasting will help to survive Zombie thing: 3 units of food in 1 or 2 servings. ) Much more enjoyable. ) It is easier mentally, actually. )
Daniil Yamnov but you would have slightly less energy down the line.edit: but I like the idea :P it could work
Question - is it written in the adventure and/or story line that they couldn’t just stay at home?
The reason I ask is pretty simple;
At home they have a bathtub full of water and a couple of days of food minimum.
We have not started the game yet and, thus I don’t know the rules etc.
Example, is THREE meals per day required?
I’m not going through the proverbial zombie apocalypse but, I ruck a minimum of 6.22 miles (10km per) day with a 32lbs pack at a 16 minute mile.
I also lift weights for about 3 hours per day.
I have done this for 9 days short of a whole year, eating one meal per day at most.
It’s a training program for the Mammoth Sniper Challenge I & II in 2027.
If I can do it in real life as a 100% disabled combat veteran, why not a fictional character in a TTRPG?
Rycon so are you guys in the capital of new Zealand? Wellington?
oh never mind you guys are in Auckland
Things got dark fast.
Warning, minor spoiler in this comment: At first I thought the man was a zombie about to kill the child. Glad it ended up the other way around xD ....wait i I shouldn't be glad about that either.
Dimitri Tebow that's messed up being glad it's a child zombie then a man zombie
Izak "Master of Misdirection" Tait
Damoclese CoE ?
joseph palmer lol xD I mean I'd feel much worse if the scenario were reversed, and it was the child being killed in front of them.
Dimitri Tebow yeah either way it's bad either it's a Innocent child getting eaten by a man or a innocent child against her will eating a man
Sooo I hate to be THAT GUY, but umm...
Do you guys have any sort of window in mind for the public releases?
Our release on Kickstarter is March 2018 and we are well on track. As for a public beta? It's available in the description and will be updated right until release the only thing it won't have is any of the story elements and art, it's essentially a bare-bones version
I see. Thank you! I can't wait to play this with my friends and family. :)
PS: props on the quick response time; color me impressed.
Can i already play this with my friends? If so, how?
You can, the game is still in development but we do have a beta available through DriveThruRPG, the beta will be updated with all mechanics leading up to the games final release, the only thing it will be missing from the full version is the world building and story elements www.drivethrurpg.com/product/207179/ZLand-Beta-Document
But would that mean that we need to come up with all the events (like the girl outside the house and the noises and such) ourselves?
Kind of new to this kind of thing so i might ask stupid questions.
Yeah essentially it provides a ruleset that governs the world you are playing in, we do have random event generators and npc generators etc that will be included in the final version but for the most part the Game Master crafts the story. Depending on popularity we may do a run of campaign books in the future which would be a number of guided story
allright thanks a lot ^^
Yes!!!!!
drinking game. take a shot everytime chloe yawns
When's the next episode? Is it gonna be every Wednesday at 12:00 PM PST?
+Adam Fischer sure is 😊
Thank. :)
