ZOMBIES!!!

Post by AngryGhost »

I was thinking of using BASH! for doing a one shot zombie game (I have a reasonably active thread at rpg.net, but it's getting a little derailed with Savage Worlds talk).

I don't have BASH! fantasy as I'm waiting for the UE to come out but I was thinking that Sci Fi edition should handle it well.

I was wondering if anyone had some cool ideas and or stats?

I was thinking of a few different types of zombies (possibly mimics of Left 4 Dead Zombies), and stealing most of the plot from Night of the Living Dead or one of its (legit) sequels but replacing the protagonists (no, not the zombies :P) with either people with strange types of powers (low powered) or having them be retired superheroes (possibly a home for the elderly ala Bubba-Ho-Tep).

Also, although the tiles are on a different scale, I was thinking of trying to incorporate the tiles from Zombies!!! (twilight creations) if anyone knows it and has some good ideas about what I could do with it.

So yeah, any thoughts?

That's serendipitous.

A good friend of mine composed a Left 4 Dead adventure using Hero 6th Edition. He successfully ran it at Genghis Con in Denver and is planning to do it again at GenCon.

He's gone ahead and posted his write-ups on his web page. I realize it's using another system, but I've found Hero to be easy to convert characters from, due to its versatility in modeling powers and abilities. You might be able to get some inspiration from the material.

Oh, it would help to post the link, wouldn't it? :oops:

Just so you know in the Post-Apocalyptic Section of BASH! SF there IS stuff on Zombies!

Also, in the works for BASH! UE is a Super Zombies setting.

heh, so there are some stats, been a long time since I read in front to back (and wasn't looking for zombies at the time). Thanks.
