[QUOTE="Psimancer, post: 5386898, member: 13037"] Agreed - or... ok, this is going to sound ‘unrealistic’ (let’s just call it Cinematic :S), but maybe don’t treat standard HP loss as ‘damage’; at the end of combat, all HPs are recovered with a short rest (so HP = Exhaustion), and true damage (ie Bites, etc) only come from Critical Hits or Negative HP. For these, maybe use the Critical Hit tables from something like Warhammer Fantasy RPG/Dark Heresy/etc (and for additional realism, go for hit locations – which you may need for Zombie head shots anyway...) Roads: For simplicity, just treat a lane at 10ft wide (if using a 5ft grid). Apartments: Check out websites for floor plans – Real Estate, Construction Companies, Malls, etc Quests: Look at similar genre RPGs, eGames, books, TV and movies for ideas (off the top of my head): [LIST] [*]RPGs: All Flesh Must Be Eaten, Gamma World (any ed), [*]eGames: Fallout (any version), Borderlands [*]Books: Stephen King’s ‘The Stand’ [*]TV: The Walking Dead, Jericho [*]Movies: Mad Max/The Road Warrior, Resident Evil, Any Zombie or Post Apocalyptic movie [/LIST] Hope that helps...
