D&D Zombie Holocaust-type adventures

[metaDM]

Can anyone point me to any published D&D adventures (any edition or clones) that feature a zombie holocaust-type event? I'm looking for some ideas for my campaign, but don't want to rehash things that have been done before. I'm mainly interested in zombie holocaust scenarios in a fantasy setting. I've read "Dead by Dawn" in Dungeon 176 and "Death Frost Doom." I tried googling around but have been unsuccessful finding other adventures.

That would be zombie apocalypse. A zombie holocaust . . . brings up entirely different visuals.

Just sayin'.

There's a fantasy craft adventure out there called the Darkest Hour which deals with lots of zombies. We played it not too recently and it was a blast.

TSR Dungeons & Dragons Archive: Ravenloft: Night of the Walking Dead

Avaiable as a free pdf download (reformatted) on WotC: http://www.wizards.com/dnd/files/notwd.pdf

A good complementary reading would be the Souragne Gazetteer published by the Fraternity of Shadows and available here: Ravenloft: Net Books

To be fair, there are enough games with nazi zombies that a zombie holocaust might be exactly what he intended.

Dungeon Magazine just had a 2nd-level adventure by Blackdirge titled "Dead by Dawn", which fits the theme perfectly.

I just wanted to second this suggestion. This was a really well done adventure, and really highlights how to do a skill challenge in a combat encounter and make it meaningful. I'm a big fan of the adventure.

And another thing!
I'd also recommend "Death Frost Doom". Not your typical adventure, and probably not exactly what you are looking for, but it is a great adventure.

I think the problem is that D&D is likely not the best game system for a zombie apocolypse scenario as the high hp and generally high fantasy nature of the game reduces the tension of one bite leading to your doom. Also, you can only repackage and re-flavour zombies so many times before they're boring (and this is coming from a guy who loves zombies! I just watched two movies last night)

The RPGA adventure 'The night I brought the dead out' has some good ideas.
