oooohh..
could it have been (looks around)
Zombie Toddlers?! bwahaha!
ahem...

Thanks for the update!!
Keep 'em coming!!

Most toddlers probably won't have fillings. There must be adult zombies around as well.
 

ahhh!!
Yes that is a good point!
Although Zombie Adults are not that much fun...

maybe there are some pre-pubescent zombies?!

Old enough to have cavities..er, uh..fillings..
(guess I should be careful of the word 'cavity' in a Story Hour that mentions Anal Probes!, eh?!)
But still young enough to be kid-creepy!

keep em coming jonrog!!
 



Inspiration

Jonrog1, you have inspired me. If I may take the liberty of plagiarizing your novel idea, I will have my group create themselves as characters and play through a little Call of Cthulu. I wont have them roll anything, just assign values to each ability that seem accurate to the real world player. Using the Cthulu system, I will also have them pick core skills appropriate to the real world person.

I just saw Signs by M. Night and the idea of regular people being thrust into irregular circumstances appealed to me. Good show by the way, go see it.

Anyway, I just wanted to check with you and make sure you didn't mind my plagiarism.

Thanks for the inspiration.

Hey, what a coincidence! I did this too (including the part about being inspired by Jonrog1)!

I even have a story hour dedicated to it.

It worked out well (my players hate me, though). Good luck with your game and I hope we get to read about it!
 

Hey Rune, I hate to say it but this is easier said than done in my group. Since we get together so infrequently, when we do the majority of the group wants to play D&D. This is not a bad thing mind you, but from time to time I get an itch to try something else.

I have enjoyed jonrog1's story hour so much that the idea of doing a "real world" adventure just keeps picking at me. I think I will just spring it on them, I have said this before and have chickened out. I am becoming more bold as time goes on, however.

Wish me luck and if this does happen, I may get up the gumption to write a story. I warn you, my writing leaves a lot to be desired.

That's what the boards are for. Go ahead, and I look forward to reading about it.

A good thing to do is let them idealize a bit -- give them the skill numbers to plug in where they want 16, 14, 12, 12, 10, 10, where they can make a 12 a 10 to convert the 14 to a 16, or knock a 10 down to an 8 to pick up two points on any other number but the 16. The survival factor will go up.

Break a leg!

Thanks man. We get together only about once a month so it may be a while before I can post anything.

Ya, I figured I would let them use whatever value they think appropriate. If this means moving things around and padding some numbers, that is just fine. From what I have read CoC is already pretty deadly.

Oh, just a quick question jonrog, are you using CoC, Darkmatter, and/or Star Wars for your vehicle rules? In CoC they seem a little sprace.
