While the 1918 Flu did spread very far and very fast, it didn't go as far and as fast as do Hollywood Diseases (HD). HDs also tend to have a lethality level far higher then even Ebola. Pretty much anyone that gets a HD (especially in a zombie-verse), dies. The HD never mutates into a less...

I measure my gaming collection in linear feet of shelf space. After selling off most of my 2E stuff I'm "down" to around 60'... :) Most of the hardcovers are 3.x...

I voted $1000+, which is why I will NOT be switching to 4E. That and I don't see a need for a new edition... Heck, I dropped $70 just Saturday on 3.x books.

Real world diseases just don't spread all that fast or far, even with modern transportation. Even airborne diseases don't kill that many people. And if the scenario calls for the "bite vector" variety things slow down even more. It just isn't that easy to achieve a zombie "horde". The world in...

No trench coat I'm afraid. And I can't find my black wool officer's coat either...

I don't read fiction any longer...

Heck, by the rules an Elephant has a +10 bonus to Climb. Beware the Deadly Cliffdwelling Pachyderms!

I do actually have some limited faith in humanity. But mostly I have faith in every individuals desire to not be eaten alive. Purely a selfish motivation. Hitting any animal in the head is a good way to kill it. If a "normal" human attacked me and attempted to bite me, I wouldn't stop hitting...

Right. APCs and tanks would be immune to the Risen. Heck, so would armored cars. Put zombies into an actual fantasy world, like D&D and I won't argue. But base them in our world and logic does still apply.

Even selling the data on where said altar was would be profitable...

Here's the thing, there wouldn't *be* a horde in NYC. There might be 80,000 - 160,000 ghouls in the city. With some 8 million *living* to take them out. The people west of the Mississippi don't really need to lend a hand in that scenario. And you don't need special equipment. just the firearms...

Whenever I run a campaign I always use a silver based monetary system. I add in a bronze piece as a silver replacement. So silver is the default coin. But players always seem to take every darn copper...

I rather enjoyed Cloverfield. The monster violates the laws of physics but it was still entertaining.

I just can't figure out how you get large hordes of zombies. There are 300 million people in the US. Lets say that one percent of that number are corpses right now. Many of those that have been buried just aren't going to be able to rise, even in a Romero style "any dead person becomes a ghoul"...

Are there plans for a dead tree version of this book? I really don't like PDFs...

You could just say the new arrows are Bludgeoning and reduce the range by half. fast and dirty but it works. Or use a sling. Something I used in a past campaign (actual, real world weapon): Stonebow The stonebow is essentially a crossbow designed to propel a stone or lead pellet. It does 1d6...

"Acquiring by other means" was part of my wicked youth. I am a stable and dull old man now... though I do still have a few of those milk crates in the shed... You might want to look at industrial types of plastic containers. I work in a factory and we must have a 100 different types kicking...

I have to ask, who *buys* milk crates? I've had several over the years and not one was bought... I've seen milk crate-like containers at Target and Walmart. They may not be as robust but I'm sure they aren't expensive.

I've got a copy on order. sadly I was just told this week that it has been put on back order... Sad mutant... My vote is either Darwin's World or the 4th Edition version of Gamma World. 4E GW is my hands down favorite but it is slightly silly. Darwin's World is great but perhaps a bit grim...

Nice. And the "no need to pack" aspect is a bonus. Though I still have more RPGs... :) Sixty linear feet of books and boxes... :)
