[QUOTE="Kirin'Tor, post: 1850505, member: 17624"] My regular group has, for the 5th week in a row, been unable to rally together for the FR game I've been running, and our only other DM has been filling in dutifully each week, but he's getting burned out. So, we've decided that this week, we'd resurrect an 'almost was' idea we had a few months back: It's been requested that I run a [B](Post?)-Apocalyptic Zombie Romp[/B] in d20 Modern. So, here's where my plea comes in: Pathetic as it is, I've only ever seen 1 zombie movie (Resident Evil) and my players have seen all of them, so I wouldn't want to rip off directly anyway. So, I'm turning to my ENWorld fellows for help: I really need some plot ideas (why is the world\city be swarmed by zombies?; what scale is best: city, country, global, etc?; what's a good 'trick' for zombies: only head removal, not harmed by bullets, etc?) and advice on setting the mood; Resources\links would be great too... Basically, I've got 2ish days ('till Saturday evening) to plan my DMing return, and I want this zombie bash to be memorable! I've just no idea where to start... [edit] The reason I mention d20F in the title is that I thought it might have some useful resources that could be culled for a true modern game, and I wouldn't be opposed to that. I also failed to mention that, unless advised otherwise, the game will begin in a small town (the one we live in) and be set in the now. [/QUOTE]
