First off, thank you for those who have commented or messaged me about Resume. I genuinely appreciate it. Some of the recommendations have already been written, just not posted yet. Others though I'm keeping in mind but might not use. My character is a real person put into this situation. Sure, he planned ahead and got some things setup, but he also didn't really expect it to happen. Additionally, he didn't necessarily have the time/money to have gotten to his ideal prepper status. The last factor: if the hero is too well prepared for his new reality there's not enough to really challenge him. I think my plan has got a decent balance of challenge level yet still "winnable" with a couple others things in mind. Lastly, I'm still adding things and better forming an outline for what's coming with the story. I figure that's a better idea than not having a real plan.
