Basically what I'm hoping out of this thread is for people to take the gist of what I'm working on and run with it. What would you do with it? How would you tweak and change it? How would you develop it? I'm only going to give you the bare-bones - and not give you the details of what I have "behind the scenes." That is, I won't explain what I see as going on or where the campaign might go, or even what the setting is like (assume relatively standard fantasy). That's for you to figure out.Basic Set-upThe PCs start in a tavern in a very small village. Yep. They hear a scream outside and when the door opens, a terrified woman stumbles in, clutching her baby, raving about "the dead walk! the dead walk!" Assuming the PCs go outside and investigate, pretty soon they find that there are dead people (zombies) walking around, attacking whomever they can. Upon further investigation the realize that there are LOTS of them, and that a horde is converging on the village. What do they do? Do they hold up in the tavern and hope for the best? Do they try to help the villagers escape to the much better protected town five miles away?Further questions: Why are the dead walking? Where are they coming from? Who is responsible? Is this a relatively localized occurence or is it more wide-spread? A short adventure or the beginnings of a larger story? Etc.I look forward to seeing what people come up with!</blockquote>
