Creepy stuff....

This was originally posted in the [url=http://www.enworld.org/forum/general-rpg-discussion/130133-creepy.html]Creepy...[/url] thread, thought I'd cross-post it to my blog.
----------
I ran a horror game using the BRP system last year.
The players were trying to survive a night of the living dead kind of game. They eventually came upon a half ruined house and made their way inside. They barricaded it shut. In a closet was a weeping girl. They let her out. The girl then sprang out and ran out the front door without opening it. The players then used scrap bits of wood to fix up the little girl shape in the door.
As if that wasn't bad enough there was a small underground passage that linked the house to an excavated subterranean basement that they didn't know about.. The players then kept their eyes out on the undead and found their numbers dwindling. Overly perplexed by this they still kept watch. Eventually there was only one zombie left wandering around outside that they could see. The rest had dug into the earth and found the 'basement'.
The zombies burst through the floorboards and completely took the players by surprise. They fought it out and eventually only one character was left standing. He had failed his sanity check at went berserk, fleeing the house and climbed up a tree and fell asleep there. He woke up two hours later to find the remaining zombie from outside starting to feast on him.
All the players told me that I gave them nightmares for a couple of days afterwards with that one.

Awesome. Zombies may not be smart, but darned if they aren't relentless...Posted 22nd September 2008 at 02:19 AM by The_Warlock
