I am looking for a game system to run a zombie apocalypse type game in. This game is going to be fast paced, short lived, and will lean toward a style similar to a number of zombie movies.
We need something fairly easy to learn as this won't be a long running game, though it's a game type we may dust off in the future again and again between campaigns or for short lived "take a break" games. So, nothing like HERO system.
Combat needs to be quick and simple. There's going to be lots of zombies around and I don't want an individual fight to take a long period of time, like fights tend to do in games like D&D.
Relatively cheap entry cost. I don't want to have to buy $60 worth of books to play the game. (Nor would I want to read that many for such a game.)
I don't care about setting. We'll happily create our own settings. I need a decent character system with fast based combat that lends itself decently well to a modern setting.
Any suggestions?
For an idea of what we already know, here are some of the games our group does play now or has played in the past couple of years: D&D, HERO, Exalted, Battletech, Star Wars (d6), Shadowrun.
