[QUOTE="Corinth, post: 188624, member: 497"] That's what I did tonight with the few zombies encountered. The first one took six shots from two of the PCs before they finally put it down. One PC got bit, but he made his Fortitude save and thus is out of danger. (But he doesn't know that yet.) Knowing how the underground tunnels correlate to the surface streets. Knowing where the power grid juncture is to the U of MN West Bank (of the Mississippi River), how to fool it into thinking that it's daylight, how long the blackout lasts and what blacks out. Knowing the current political status of the university, and the greater Twin Cities, so to exploit it for scenario purposes. (The PCs, BTW, have successfully exposed the Umbrella corporation's project at the U of MN; they don't know this yet either. Governor Ventura will lay the smack down, hard, on both the Umbrella corporation and the university regeants.) Knowing how medical research projects work, in theory and in practice, as well as much of the rest of the groups in and around the U of MN. FWIW, I have three PCs right now. All of them are 1st level.[list] [*]A journalism undergraduate working for the university paper, the Minnesota Daily. She's a Defense Option character who knew the murder victim-cum-first zombie. [*]A rookie Minneapolis cop who's disliked by his boss, the major of Mpls. and his coworkers. Right now, he's working on campus; why is entirely political. He's an Offense Option character who's been on the scene since the first murder. [*]A rookie FBI forensics specialist who got called in for reasons that no one quite understands the night of the first murder. He's also an Offense Option character. [/list] They're almost finished with their first adventure. They have to crash a covert meeting with the Umbrella operative working at the U of MN Medical School and the MJ-12 operative working out of DARPA's covert office in St. Paul, chase the Umbrella operative to the company's regional HQ and survive an encounter with the Tyrant. Yep, this is meant to be a set-up for a full-fledged Delta Green campaign. Before then, the PCs will deal with the Tcho Tcho cult in St. Paul's Hmong & Vietnamese communities. I can't wait to adapt "The End of Paradise" for the local theater that screens HK action films and anime feature films every weekend. [/QUOTE]
