Bosses

You are on your own. The Army is MIA and our government is gone! There are no communications of any kind. Cities and towns have gone dark, and zombies fill the streets. The dead have risen and it would seem to be the end of the world. Help me, Mommy!

Bosses

Unread post by ZombieSlayer01 »

Is it bad if you cant think of any bosses for your players to fight so you just borrow some from other games and movies like the exicutioner from resident evil?

Dont laugh at my spelling lol

There's nothing wrong with getting an idea for a boss encounter and trying to throw something like that at your players. Happens all the time.

Ever watch South Park? There's an episode where Butters (as Professor Chaos) was trying to unleash all of this evil (in his mind) stuff on the residents of the hapless town. Except that one of his minions (General Disarray, I think) kept telling him "Simpsons did it!". Point being: Sometimes originality is hard, and ideas get borrowed. Nothing wrong with doing something that's already been done, so long as you don't overdo it.

one of the best ways i will make a boss type zed is by using some of the super powers from HU as an example would be a juggernat with alter phisical structer bone damage resistance. trust me when i say that when ur PCS empty there entire clip into it and it doesnt go down they will crap themselves

Bosses can also be groups as opposed to a single adversary. Having to escape a hoard of slouchers, for instance or being hunted by a pack of flesh eaters as another example...
