Reading these always makes me think I should have a bailout bag ready to roll all the time. If not zombies then for when Johnny Law comes kicking in the door. It's a good idea for disaster scenarios if nothing else, or in the event an emergency takes you on an unexpected road trip you can grab all ...

If it's just those 3 options then aye, lardy gets the high speed lead injection. If there's room for creativity then a fire extinguisher near on the wall gets the bullet creating a small cloud of powder that will hopefully blind/distract/slow down the zombies long enough to make a cleaner get away. ...

I'm wondering if anyone had tried running Dead Reign with a simpler system, like Savage Worlds. The "Zombapocalypse" book seems like it'd help in this regard. I've converted the entire setting to the Cortex rule set, and used it to run a very successful campaign. (the synopsis of which I ...

Haven't tired Dead Nation since it's not out for the PC but did wind up with a copy of Dead Island through an amusing set of events. I got hacked. Or more technically my impulse account did. While my account was so hacked the hacker purchased Dead Island, interestingly enough while signed into my Im...

silly not to wrap yourself in a thick layer of duct tape. Another downside to this is heat retention. Duct tape is completely waterproof (non porous) so encasing even 75% of ones body in it will lead to death via heat stroke. (People have died from being duct taped to walls/ceilings as a practical ...

its a chemical burn they'll feel that. Zombies are bascially immune to pain, otherwise firearm blasts to their torsos would have far more effect. (Their nerves are essentially dead) If they could feel, the pain of necrosis/rigormortis would prove entirely debilitating, and a kick to the groin would...

i got my peppersrrpay on me, and if it doesn't work i can grab a diffrent kind of weapon on the way. I'm about 99.99% positive pepper spray would do squat to a zed.

I think at this point since you have so many you should ask if they will make a category just for your campaign, to help collect them and so people can find the next on in the series and stuff if they don't have access to this thread. Great idea, fortunately I'm co-admin of Roleplayingtips.com so d...

Sorry for the belated reply, by now you've likely seen my recent DR updates and know I'm doing fine.

We do have one weapon but no one in our group knows how to use it it's a mobile artilery peice from the National Guard Depo outside of town we can drive it we can use it to run over zeds but no one knows how to load it or shoot it. Check the supply area of the national guard armory you acquired it ...

An interesting beginning I'm looking forward to seeing more, although may I suggest you split this up into paragraphs for easier reading? The solid wall of text is hard on the eyes and keeping ones place in while reading.

Isn't New England (or the New England area) where horror writer Stephen King wrote most of his most famous books on?

As for a cheap replica or $40 catalog knock off, personaly I would not consider those to be weapons they are more akin to wall art or jokes depending on how you look at it. I agree completely, sadly most people don't realize what their buying is a cheap knock off, and assume the "battle ready&...

Silveressa

A sword is never dead weight, as a anti-zed weapon it is relatively low maintance IMhO. There was a discussion about this around here somewhere a while back, in short unless her brother happens to own a high quality sword (not some cheap replica or $40 catalog knock off) it won't last beyond the fi...

Game balance is the crutch of the uncreative. I respectfully disagree. Game balance is the essence of a fun campaign. Let's take an extreme example here: A glitter boy pilot with Glitterboy and full weapons load out from Rifts tossed into a DR campaign. Assuming one converts the Glitterboy to sdc w...

Letting the original writer do the edits sounds like the most efficient and logical process when it comes to making a manuscript print worthy. It not only removes all the work form the publishers people, but it also lets the writer improve their quality and have a far clearer idea of how to write in...

Silveressa

It's pretty easy to be an armchair quarterback. Heck, you can see the game on TV, but the problem is none of us works in the office so we don't have a complete picture of what actually goes on. I concur, however I was more doing a comparison of Palladium to the other rpg companies of similar size o...

If putting out books were as easy as you suggest Silveressa we wouldn't be having this conversation. Gateway to the Megaverse . That's the key issue, putting out books is far easier the Palladiums business model lets it be. If Kev hired (or reassigned) a couple of editors besides himself to proof r...

Silveressa

Yes. However, given the availability of empty forest space, I'd be okay for a bit. A great idea, and one I see used a lot in post apocalypse rpgs, (at least ones that start off as the apocalypse happens) the one niggling detail that makes it fun in an rpg context is all the hundreds (if not thousan...

A few I've seen used by my players:

Necro dates
BO & BBQ reunion (referring to a convergence)
Elvis's Fan club
Meat Puppets
Carrion Cruise Liner fans(referring to a Caribbean cruise ship that was heavily infested)

Really? Then how is it that parkour people and martial artists can leap over cars, without wires, without stuntwork, and they're not even considered world-class athletes? They are the exception to the rule, much like basketball players. The Joe/Jane average can't even come close to this level of pe...

all I'd have to do before printing it out is do a search for "*" and I could fill it in with what ever location or thing that would benefit the campaign. A solid point, and one I never really though of, and could prove handy in the future, thanks. A nice compromise between the two idea is...

Most zombie movies are unrealistic. But if they were going to go this route, the zombies should be more like the ones from 28 days later and movies like that. That's all I'm saying. I think this show is about as good as this game. So if you think the show sucks, and the game sucks, then why are you...
