Some advice on starting up a new campaign.

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!

Some advice on starting up a new campaign.

Unread post by Eddie Focus »

I am about to launch my new campaign for Dead Reign and I'm in LOVE with he random encounter tables but I want to know how much do you use them versus plotting out every aspect of the adventure. I'm starting with a well plotted start but plan on using the random tables and pushing the survival aspect of the game.

Has this worked out for you? Or is running a tighter plot better?

I recommend that if you are using random tables, that you pre-roll them ahead of time. You can record the results and have a list of "mini-scenarios" ready to go whenever you need a moment to catch your breath between actual plot points. Random tables being rolled in front of the players might seem like fun, but in my experience it quickly becomes a disorganized mess, and a burden on your game.
