Oil rig safe haven

You are on your own. The Army is MIA and our government is gone! There are no communications of any kind. Cities and towns have gone dark, and zombies fill the streets. The dead have risen and it would seem to be the end of the world. Help me, Mommy!

Fun concept, and a derelict rig can also make a nice place to raid for supplies/fuel for a community in need. Getting there, salvaging whatever's available and then getting it back to the haven (which could be several states/hundred miles away) could make for a nice mini campaign/into to Dead reign for a group of chars.

Oil Derrik's at sea could also make for good refuge/outpost for a few years, (until it rusts into scrap without maintenance) or strong hold for coastal raiders/slavers.

Sounds like Mad Max on the sea, or waterworld, the problem being pirates surrounding you with enough numbers that you can not get out.

You might be better off with a chain of islands that you can move around, so that if pirates came along, you could switch islands.
