Somehow Record a Zombies Moan.. Put it on a side of town far from where you want to go.. Get a battery powered radio and blast the Recorded Moan so all the zombies think "Food that way.." And there you go Zombie bait.. It needn't be the recording of a moan. They would be just as attracted...

Wire mesh i would think has to big of holes to be of any good use. My idea would be to also use perforated steel. Same thing as mesh but much smaller holes so nothing would be able to put fingers through.

Hello... Seeing as bright lite fades out auras making it difficult to see a person why not just use a bright light shining into a opaque plastic human shape from the bottom or inside a humanbulb Hmm Human Explosive Alternate Decoy (HEAD) think like RAID levels lvl 0 motion Lvl 1 noise Lvl 2 light L...

You've put a lot of thought into this. I like it! My only feedback is good job.

As GM it is you're prerogative to set what is morally ok or not. However as said above different people believe in different moral justifications. A small list would cover it. Stuff such as cold-blooded murder, a request for help to go unheeded, callously abandoning a friend, or anything along those...

The only maximum number of skills you can have is based upon the skills in the book. You can conceivably have all the skills in the book with the proper application of brain power. They would count as secondary skills though. But that's just me.

My heroes unlimited/ dead reign mashup went like this. No major powers but allowed 2 minor powers. No magic based or psychic based powers. No aliens. No energy weapons or space access. Robotics, mutants, and experiments were the only enhanes allowed. As i ran it in the "real world" equival...

I have a once a month game that has been going for 4 years. 6-7 hours a session. Some of the sessions have been "home base" only sessions. Stuff like food is going missing so it needs to be investigated. Or medical supplies are being taken. Gardening needs to get done. Vehicles need mainte...

When I make my pregens i don't roll. I use a specific set of number. I use 18, 14, 12, 10, 10, 10, 10, 8. That's it!

CarCrasher

There is no gun or ammo shortage in my games.I use the "real world" in my games. However as time passes rifles, side arms, shotguns and the like become harder to come across as survivors loot and stockpile what they find. Also why does the supernatural and science have to be mutually exclu...

A liquid nitrogen gun would be fun to play with! A precision stream directed at the creeps legs would render it mostly immobile. To the arms mostly harmless. To the neck and head an easy kill. Don't think it would be very effective in crowd control but against several I believe it work nicely. If y...

Canada might be good.. Too good even.. Lots of Bandits, Crazies.. Already established safe havens that are selfish and drive people away from their territory. Retro Savages even.. Still lots of problems to deal with. Atleast the bandits would be polite about. Hahaha! The biggest problem would be th...

I also have thought upon this subject! I personally would be interested,but what parts of the world?! What would be the agreed on strength of those vile creepers? Would there be an agreed upon time each month that groups will convene? How will something in my community have far reaching effects in s...

Yes hemp is a very good resource. Hemp has more fiber then it's counterpart cotton. It's softer, tougher, and resistant to mildew. Hemp makes abetter quality of paper then trees and lasts much longer. Also it ddoesn't need as many chemical additives as tree paper. Hemp fiber board is lighter and str...

Vegetable oil clogs up the engine faster then then the proper fuel. However a quick engine exchange and your golden. After the engine is out some maintenance will have it clean again in no time.

I say to avoid citrus fruits cuz they are high in pectin. That's what makes methanol which is an optic nerve poison. It does however leave the still first, so a safe bet would be to remove the first bit of your batch before the good stuff flows. Methanol de-natures ethanol which Would be bad for get...

In my games I say PPE is supernatural energy. That's why those creeps crave it. It's also the driving force behind the "human element". That uneasy feeling you get just before someone scares you. Or when you can feel someone looking at you. That is the supernatural energy of PPE. So 0 PPE ...

Carborane superacid is a million times more potent then pure sulfuric acid. Fill a few bulbs with that stuff and use as grenades. Creepers wouldn't last long against it. Or if attacked by the more dangerous human being play a game of surprise catch with them and see who has a bad day!

CarCrasher

I would most likely dismantle and repurpose many of the parts if it looked useful. Electronic components, the long tube, or even the metal parts all have uses beyond just punkin bombardment!

CarCrasher

I would want to bring it back with me. The ability to create alcohol for sanitation purposes is wonderful. Plus when liquor stores no longer have anything to plunder, a still is the supreme morale booster. Sure moonshine is awful but with a few choice ingredients you can change the flavour of it so ...

Hello... Which is why it would be a long time before anybody in Alaska tried to reclaim the lower 48. Yep - it would take a long time, because you would have to consolidate your position in Alaska, and when you have all your assets in place, strike D-Day style. Yes that would be Canadian military. ...

The inside of igloos is actually warmer then you would think. No thermal vision can not see through igloos as the snow and ice has its own thermal profile. From the view of the front thermal would pick up the door as the heat generated inside the igloo from sources inside would be visible. The insid...

Yes and fire also causes the zombies to "panic"! Nothing ruins your day like a flaming zombie.

CarCrasher

Yes that would be Canadian military. My thoughts about the quarantine of military to help with restoration after the epidemic while it is correct I am of the thought that the wave would have affected those units also. I personally don't think that the wave was a contagious event and it affected ever...

I was in the 26th Field Artillery Regiment. Artillery units would I think be the least useful in a zombie fight. To a degree anyway. The training received is more about firing big guns from a stationary locale. While the range for those is massive what real use is it unless laying waste to an area m...

CarCrasher

I think it's a great idea to start in the area you know. Sentimental attachment to certain areas brings back memories from a happier time. It makes you forget your surroundings momentarily as you remember when you and a loved one did something. In that moment of reminiscing as the DM is when you sho...

I will be for sure getting source book 5. I tend to my games in places other then the states. As for source book 6 depending on what it is catering to I will get it.

CarCrasher

Have you ever made yourself in the game? I mean sat down thought about what your stats, skills, and ability would be on a character sheet! How would you survive in the world of dead reign? Think about your age and make a choice at what level you would be by occupation? Take your real world skills tr...

CarCrasher

That was good! I don't see anything wrong with putting it here. Others have done such things with none saying it was wrong. I look forward to reading the next one.

CarCrasher

That would be a super fun adventure. Retrieving knowledge would be a vital piece of rebuilding humanity. I don't think I could add to the topic. I would however like to take the idea for my game.

CarCrasher

I don't think there is any official palladium source for what you are asking. You will likely have to just house rule it. Just look at weapon equivalents and make a judgment call on if damage type is appropriate. Hockey stick would be equivalent of a staff. Pipe wrench equal to mace. If need be make...

IMPs are individual meal packs. The Canadian military equivalent of MRE. Imo they are better tasting and superior in quality. They are high in calories for survival needs. Comes with an entree, dessert, salt, pepper, peanut butter, jam, bread, juice mix, coffee, tea, sugar, whitener, toothpick, cutl...

I grab BoB (Bug out Bag) first of all. The contents are: hatchet, multitool, a 6" knife, 10" knife, matches in waterproof container, flint and steel, compass, fishing line and hooks, 3 IMPs (the choice bits actually), 3 one liter steel canteens of water, water purification tablets, water f...

In one of the books there is a table that helps to determine what HP and SDC percentages limbs are given. When the character is being mobbed use those numbers to determine dismemberment and hilarity will ensue.

I am not familiar with Rifts so I don't know about the mummy immortalus. However from what I have read I would think I agree with relicandcheese. Death priests have more PPE then average joe but don't trigger the dinner bell. So this necromancer I wouldn't think triggers it either. I think also they...

I would think that a certain amount of infiltration might be necessary to ascertain which ones are innocent. Perhaps even being able to join the cattle ranks of the organization for the individual surveillance. In cults usually the highest ranks know the truth about what's being done to the lowest l...

In situation where I encounter a mob of many types. 1) fast attack/ twin speedsters 2) juggernauts/ parasite juggernauts 3) thinkers/ spare parts thinker 4) walking grave/ multi 5) wormmeat/ bugboys 6) slouchers/ fused 7) crawlers/ trash crawlers That's pretty much my priority order for groups.

A group of bandits are sneaking thru the building without your knowledge. A gunshot would be able to alert you of unwanted presences. Also if that same group is sneaking into your haven set off the trap it would cuz some terror in the ranks. It would slow them down and in some cases might cause pani...

CarCrasher

I like that idea. Leapfrogging your way to the top floor makes a lot of sense. I think my plan though would proceed to the next floor after the all clear is given instead prepping for occupancy or salvage because a tertiary team could do that. Also if it was tall enough building I would leave the fi...

I really like your idea for the cult hunter. I would definitely like to try that out. Would give a lot of role-playing time as opposed to a slayer game.

I must admit I am ashamed I didn't even know that source book 4 existed! As to the new writer I couldn't begin to guess. However I must proclaim that I am a lil excited about all the new source material! !

CarCrasher

Thanks for the great article! Gonna add those ideas to my game.

CarCrasher

It may be a game but I like to introduce a little realism to the situation. If everything is reduced to a die roll then what's the point? I enjoy a little realism in the game too but if I have a character that took those particular skills then I would at least like to be able to play them out. Yes ...

I would go with the survivors first. If they have weapons and in this day and age who isnt armed. They can help locate and transport the food. Last thing would be the guns and ammo.

CarCrasher

A few successful skill roll and the camera scope is properly aligned and securely connected to the location. How hard was that? Irl the difficulties would be a long tedious job. Good thing this is a game.

Hydroelectric and Geothermal are are very difficult to set up when you are one the run. For that matter, so would solar panels to a degree unless you happen to find them along the way. You need time, safety and the knowledge to build any of the power sources let alone a different set of skills to b...

I'm pretty confident a skilled character would be able to accomplish the needed programming. The arms would be a first action defense against an invasion while humans get suit up for the combat. Not to mention a background operator would be at the helm at the arms control center.

CarCrasher

I find a large fenced in area is somewhat easy to defend against the creepers. During the day you a fire off a few rounds to keep the numbers down. At nighttime it would be harder cuz your glow can be seen for miles. However if your group has someone with robotic skills you can repurpose a few indu...
