Could your players survive the Zombacalypse

[dragonshaos]

Would the group you play with now be able to survive?

[Tadanori Oyama]

You can't just throw out a zombie question without background!

I mean, there's so many different zombie variables. During a gaming session or just in the same place at the same time, for example.

My group could handle Dead Rising zombies or Night of the Living Dead zombies but Dawn of the Dead zombies would be a huge problem.

And don't get me started on what'd happen if they where Max Brooks zombies.

I read this kind of fast originally, and I thought you said MEL Brooks zombies. I totally would love to see a Mel Brooks zombie movie!!!

I have no idea what that would be like, but I would watch it.

That and "Kong of the Dead", like they talked about in the Dig for Victory Actual Player.

Oh, that's the "real" one, the Cong with a "C". I want Kong with a "K". 'Giant undead smelly ape'. When that script goes to production, let me know.

I should mention, that Dig for Victory is my favorite actual play. I've listened to the whole thing dozens of times. I'm listening to it right now as I type, actually.

My Star Wars group would come out sort of okay. Sufficiently violent, but bad at planning. So. Very. Bad. I can't escape blame on that either. Shadowrun group would kick ass. Dark Heresy group I have no idea.

[dragonshaos]

Just interpret the question to be whatever zombies.  If we were to get into detail we would need another entire forum to argue and discuss the type of zombies.  Assume its the kind that like to eat brains but dont go around saying so.

[Tadanori Oyama]

Well it depends on the group. I have three that meet in different locations and times.

My primary location has stone steps, so we can't wreck those. The door is, on the other hand, very close to the wall and quite braceable, with a 1.5 story drop as an escape route. If we aimed for the bush and rolled we'd be able to come up from the fall running. No food or supples to speak of. Depending on the zombie type we might be able to hit the lake and wait things out on the small island. Otherwise we'd rush the fence, use the side gate, lock it behind us, and make a break for an enforceable holding position. Not alot of those, so we might hit the Safeway up the block, grab supplies, and get the closest transport possible to get away from dense population centers. There's a pair of big pawn shops a little farther beyond, we could get non-food items and many some weapons. After that it'd be think and run.

The secondary group/location has wood stairs, so we'd be able to sever the connection to the horde. The drop has no hedge and is higher but the location is more secure so we'd try to just wait it out.

My group would definitely survive one of our members even has a plan all worked out.

[Tadanori Oyama]

Handy to have. What's his plan?

[silentjudas]

Oh yeah, my group would have started it. No question about it, haha!

[Mason]

yeah my group barely survives life itself.(that came out kinda harsh)

 I ran a zombie apocalyse scenario and one of them tossed a five year old girl to the zombies to help his own escape.

unfortunatly they all jumped at the offer of a immunization against turning into zombies (mind you this is the same mad scientist who started the zombie apocalypse), and thustly were turned into zombies themselves.

can your players survive this?

[Maze]

Fuck you Ross. You just had to ruin it for everyone, did you?
