They didn't specifically say how it came about do the various GMs could pick the version they liked. "Aliens" Back to the topic at hand However, assuming a zombie drummed up a reason to enter the water, Land of the Dead aside, I don't see them faring very well. Even if we assume they woul...

one of those large floating crane platforms for loading and off loading those gargantuan barges would be a nice defensible platform. You could pretty much design a first floor maze that in no way connects to the second dedensive floor which again access is limited to one entry point into the third ...

[Well some people like games that make you think . Not everyone wants hack n slash or shoot em ups . Hence my argument/agreement that BTS books and adventures take a lot more thought and preparation, and why writing up new sourcebooks isn't as simple as 'let's toss in a GAZILLION new weapons and mo...

Trent

In North America if your characters "raid" National guard armory's and police stations you'll find .40 mm, 9 mm and 5.56 rounds and weapons mostly. So 9 mm and 40 mm pistols. Rifles will be AR-15, M16 or M400 mostly. IMO. And be dead before you got to use them as they will be over run wit...

Trent

[ There is so much you can do with BTS . Yes. But it requires more thinking, planning, and discretion. Unless you've set the campaign in a warzone, you can't just say "we go and buy some tactical nukes and start blowing up stuff" with the same abandon you might have in other game settings...

[ The fact that people keep asking for (and were promised) these books proves its not a one trick pony . Palladium has a bad habit of making promises they dont keep . They have a loyal fan base then few have . And should be proud of . Keeping that fan base takes commitment . What I mean by 'one tri...

Trent

Because Palladium Books is not vanity press where authors pay to have whatever they throw up/vomit fourth is printed, and thus every book is a financial gamble. Ideally, a publisher wants to back ideas that can be fully developed and for which they can sense there is a better than passing interest ...

Page 24 of Dead Reign indicates that lost limbs do not regenerate, and the healing process that zombies undergo when eating PPE only restores the effects of deterioration, and does not heal wounds, injuries, or other types of trauma (however it does restore missing eyes). So the only way for them t...

Trent

I don't think they can regrow limbs to begin with unless a Cultist sews them back on. They could easily remove tar or metal caps that get in the way. I don't know if cauterization would prevent it since they might plausibly just heal the cauterization. They heal faster than humans so they may be ab...

Trent

Is there a way to stop zombies in DR from regenerating body parts ? Like maybe cauterization of limb stumps and then cover with metal caps or tar ?

Trent

Zombies who are completely missing their vocal cords can do the Moan. I think all zombie hunters should have a "living" zombie head in a cooler (well, head plus however much of the torso the GM rules needs to be present in order for it to be able to moan) I imagine that if you can do it w...

Trent

I would rule that, while a recorded moan is different to the supernatual wail of the undead and would fail to lure them, it would still cause roaming zeds to walk over and investiate like any other noise out of the ordinary - in this respect its no different to the noise made by people shouting, so...

have to wait nine months for a replacement Do you know how long it takes to get an appointment with a Techno-Wizard in a world without magic?

So I'm thinking about starting a new game but keeping it in a coastal setting. This would encourage using boats for transportation and survival. Some things I'm thinking about including in this game... speed boats air boats in the mud flats/swamps oil tankers/shipping container ships off shore oil ...

Trent

A power to cause water to form in people's mouths instead of sound is a possibility, now that I think about it. The target would have to save from choking on water and drowning. 'Water Spring'.....one of its other uses can be as a water spout, launching a person, such as the superbeing, into the ai...

Hello... Also take a look and Kentucky and Barkley dams in west Ky. Nifty! They cover some of the traits that the three dams I mentioned don't have, particularly the fact that there are locks to allow riverine shipping through. 1, 2 Additionally, the Kentucky Dam possesses a rail and road crossing,...

Trent

How does one contact a Admin ?

Trent

Hello... True. Some dams could even be a safe haven or a back up safe haven. Interesting. Personally I would think that one example of a good place to set up a dam-based safe haven would be the Hells Canyon Project on the Snake River. Home to three large dams, it has access to a number of miles-lon...

Trent

Many wouldn't survive the trip or the elements. Assuming they travel on foot . But that's doubtful . Anyone who makes that trip is likely to have some means of transportation and that would not be as hard to come by in the early days and not impossible even later . But even on foot many have travel...

Alaska would, most likely, already have all the people that are going ever be there. Aside from a small percentage who might arrive there by boat or air, unless the military starts FED EXing people there of course. Most people from the US would not be up for making the trek up through Canada and in...

Trent

I think you are picturing a lot more people than I am. I am thinking a group of 10 of less. I believe you are thinking military relocation for the safety of the masses. If I am right on your point of view then yes Alaska has more challenges than advantages. A safe haven may start out small but even...

Trent

Oh I got the visual, just confused by the sudden "just open the dams and let nature take its course", that's all. Wonder why "Life After Humans" but the lifespan of unattended dams so much longer? Well the dams will give eventually and when your not ready . But if you release th...

Trent

For a good visual look at the flooding footage in Tx . Or the Japanese tsunami footage . Maybe a good idea to open all the locks and leave them open or just blow the dam and let natural flow restore itself . Then build when the flood waters calm down . At least you have some control .

Trent

I looked, but it doesn't show how the river is, speed of the current etc. I was hoping someone from the area would see and answer. Being one of the larger rivers in North America and having a fairly steep gradient, it is one of the most heavily damned rivers in the world. So the Columbia opperates ...

I was thinking more of chemical addiction from alchemy . But addiction and dependency to enchanted objects and magic itself could be interesting .

Trent

I still like the idea of living on a moving train with a cow catcher. Resupply fuel or scavenge when clear. Hijack over. I thought of that too but was afraid that with no one left to maintain the tracks and the quality of fuel over time might be a problem . BUT it does have a lot of advantages and ...

Hello... Dead Reign rather likes water zombies all told.

Thank you Trent. I think you are right though, modifying a already existing entity within DR like the Half-Living is probably the best way to go and the easiest to explain in game, "Your vamperism is a result of almost dieing from a zombie attack, now to survive you must absorb P.P.E. through ...

Things are going to get through no matter what . BUT you can find ways to slow them down and limit their numbers . Long enough to pick them off .

I grew up at the convergence of the Ohio and Mississippi rivers and wit several important rivers near by . Have friends who are divers for state police and search and rescue as well as barge workers . The currents at the surface may seem perfectly calm but along the bottom its a very different story .

How about the medicine man , rain maker , shaman or voodoo priest from Rifts ?

Seems like every time I post on this site people have a problem with it .

Ehh.. I don't really see it as realistic. 1) Most rivers don't flow THAT FAST. Currents that one can swim in and ones that undead creatures can walk through are different things. We need to keep our heads above water and breathe. The Zombies don't. 2) Of those that 'are' that fast, it's not like th...

In the new book it talks about old forts across the US . Most in state or national parks (great resources). And MANY are on river or coastal islands . Usually removed from large populations yet with small tourist towns near by .
