Star Wars is a far superior film than Avatar imo. It also is a bit head scratching that a film as poorly written as Avatar was EVER the number one film, especially for 7 years. So I'd like to see ANYTHING top it, and Star Wars has a chance, so I cheer that on. Not because I care how much money...

Hey guys, the chat has been published! https://gmshoe.wordpress.com/2016/01/11/qa-chuck-rice-after-zombies/

So I have posted some iconic survivors to my rpgdesign blog for your amusement, and also to help you learn a bit about the game. Avery Ahearn was a blue collar construction worker when the virus dropped. Now he's developing into a leader of survivors. Here he is one month into the AZ. And...

Hi guys. I'm Chuck, and I work in marketing for Mayfair Games. I have also been a member of this awesome community since 2002. I'll try to answer some of the salient points raised so far. 1. If you look at the people involved in this deal from the Mayfair side, I would hesitate to feel...

Just a quick follow-up: AZ: After Zombies has had three ratings and one review on RPGNow, all 5 stars! Check out the review on RPGNow here!

Good afternoon fellow survivors! AZ has been updated! There was a serious SNAFU on page 76 where the columns got jumped somehow causing the text to jump around. Also, the front and back cover have been replaced with higher res versions for those who want to print the game out, it will look...

The world as you know it is gone. In the wake of a terrible disease, the dead have risen to walk the Earth and humans are no longer at the top of the food chain and civilization has collapsed. Welcome to the world AFTER ZOMBIES. After Zombies is a d% RPG with no character classes. All skill and...

I'll say this: I worked for Louis. He paid me well, promptly, let me (mostly) set my own direction and was pleasant to work for. If I was still freelancing I'd work for him again.

I've had magic-users who rolled their eyes at clerics anytime they mentioned their god and said "it's just magic, I can use magic too".

Just wanted to let folks know that there are a couple of great podcasts folks can listen to and learn more about AZ: After Zombies! First there's me giving a brief overview of the game here: http://mikelaff.podbean.com/e/chuck-rice-talks-about-his-new-game-after-zombies/ Second there's a...

In my experience, start the player in a better position than you normally would. Ask the player what they want for their PC at the start of the game, If they plan to fight a lot, or if they plan t skulk around, their starting equipment should be different. It will go against SOME of your...

“Ran into one of those infected once. Killed it without a second thought. Looked just like a garden-variety shambler to me. Then a day later I got sick. Then two days after that, I could barely walk. If not for that Avery fella finding me and taking me to the U, I’d have died for sure.” Tom...

Hello all, I've been away for awhile, so let me (re)introduce myself. My name is Chuck Rice, I did a lot of RPG design work in the d20 days, most for d20 Modern. I wrote Blood and Fists, Blood and Space, Legends of Excalibur, and some supplements for Darwin's World. I then started Vigilance...

Worked means sold. If people buy a type of book, as a publisher, you say it worked. Especially since they don't seem to ever STOP buying them. Splatbooks go back to 2e at least. And people continue to buy them. What other metric is there.

But anyone can take Soldier specializations. The difference between it being there, and a Leia-like PC taking a combat specialization from another career, is 10 XP. Not a big deal.

I read "ignore all penalties" as "remove all black dice from the pool".
