Zombies in my town

So, just because I don't have enough half finished projects in the works I am going to start working on a new one.

This time its zombies.

Like everyone else I am a fan of zombies, I have a couple zombie games for Xbox, I have the excellent Last Night on Earth board game by Flying Frog as well as Zombies!!!4 The End

I recently picked up a copy of Dead Reign Dark Places it is an expansion sourcebook for the Dead Reign rpg. It is pretty cool.  It gave me alot of ideas, and maybe I caught a bit of the zombie plague because I haven't been able to get it off my mind.

So I am going to write up my own simple zombie rpg game. It will be a d6 system and hopefully pretty simple and rules light. One idea I had that is really been making me want to work on this is that I plan to set the game in my local real world area. Specifically the GTA (Greater Toronto Area).  I want to take real local maps and scribble notes and stuff all over them.  

Ok,well more on this later.

(-Edit: I have changed the name of this project to "Quarantine Zone"  and have gone through my posts on the subject and edited them to reflect this new name. Quarantine Zone is intended to be set in a real world location- preferably a place all the players are familiar with).

  2. Thanks Trey! Yeah I think I have most of the game mechanics and zombie types figured out already. I'm pretty excited because there should be alot of d66 random charts coming up.

  3. You know, I'm a fan of the ideas from Dead Reign but don't like the system. I was pondering a minimalist zombie RPG myself (tentatively entitled "Zed"), but will take a look at what you've put together here...

  5. Thanks K-Slacker, I look forward to seeing your Zed stuff. I am pretty happy with my QZ stuff so far but it is slow going since I don't get many chances to playtest it.
