The Walking Dead

Hammers they could get, but bats and pipes give more reach. Picks would be rarer- in a city, you'd have to get into a mountaineering store or a construction site of some sort.

Shields would have to be made unless you have access to riot gear...anyone want to raid a big city police station? If there are survivors, you risk getting shot. If there are none, you could get trapped, especially if you can't find the keys and set off alarms. *blaaat blaaat DINNER blaaat blaaat*

And maces? You'd definitely only find those lying around in certain museums.

Cue in Gamma World-style "STOP" sign shields.

And looking at that picture, a baseball bat with some nails driven through it would make quite the morningstar.

Dang, now I want to play Gamma World!

Not in Georgia, there is a place off of 402 exit on I20 that makes them. the warhammers would be the best weapon for the job.

I could find some in the Dallas area, too...but I'm a gamer. And I know people in SCA. I can put my hands on all kinds of archaic weaponry.

Compare that to these guys- a sheriff a long way from home, a housewife, a deputy, a white supremacist, etc. They're not going to know JACK about that kind of stuff.

Yep, but they should know of the bases in the area. Hell, I think I may head to old Fort Jackson in Savannah, you have the Trenton near by too, then you have river access. These guys are still living out in the open and from what I can tell, with only a single exit!!!

Okay, now we need to see how the Medieval reenactment types are faring...

The same hazards exist for hitting a base as hitting a police station, only moreso: any survivors there may have trouble distinguishing you from the walkers; everything nifty is under lock & key, and without the right keys, you set off alarms which will put you on the menu; bases are noisy places to start off with- the base may be surrounded or overrun with Walkers already.

"Hey Marty, kewl zombie makeup! LARPing this weekend?"

"glllllaaaaargh!"

"That rocks, dude! Whoa- even got some stench for authenticity!"

"glllllaaaaargh!"

"Uh...that's close enough..."

"GLAAAAARRRRaaargh!"

"DUDE! No, duuu"*gurgle*

If there are any concentrated areas of human habitation left, i'd bet on the military bases. I'd expect at least a few deep underground bunkers housing military staff and scientists trying to find ways to combat the Zeds. Of course, in classic G.A. Romero style, they'd actually be worse than the zombies their fighting.

That will be the CDC in Atlanta
