Thinking about creating an apocalyptic miniRP, where you start out as one person, of which is you, and are able to join player/NPC factions or create your own by scavenging for supplies and gathering resources, of which I will keep track of using a pen and a notepad.
There will be many items you can collect, and you can't just go off and build whatever, you must put thought into the design of your fortification, or you will fall to a faction. Your faction can be looted entirely, and your units are limited in supply. If your character dies, you lose that character forever, and the faction you created is up for grabs/looting/whatever.
You also must supply your units with weaponry that has either been scavenged or created, to create guns you can find, repair, and maintain damaged factories found in the wastes, you will have to get a steady supply of resources to maintain it. You can also find food production factories to mass-produce certain food items for your faction, if your faction has no food or water, it will soon fall apart. This makes "breadbaskets" a very important thing to make.
You need to keep track of your character's status, you can get information on one by asking a gamemaker. You will be alerted by a gamemaker when your status is critical, and specifically what is causing it to be in critical condition.
These are things you need to keep track of:
Inventory
Hunger
Thirst
Fatigue
Consciousness
Blood
Pain
Body Heat
Effects
These are only a few examples.
These status effects can be inflicted on your character:
Incapacitated
Dazed
Near-unconscious
Unconscious
Wounded
Near-death
Starvation
Dehydration
Brain Trauma
Broken Bones
Bleeding
Mild Bleeding
Severe Bleeding
Disease
Sepsis
Overburdened
Knocked down
Staggering backwards
These are not all of the effects. All of these effects apply to units in your faction.
