I have the first in a big series of adventures. They are fantasy based and not very large, Realtime would take no more than 5 hours I think to get through. So they are not huge. Though each one does effect the next which is nice.

I have a couple of choices with them. I have a RuneQuest game already and I intend to use the big Pathfinder adventures with it. I don't want to do D&D 4.0 even though I do own it. Which gives me a couple of options.

• One is to do Palladium Fantasy. A game I own and have rarely played. Even though I don't mind the system. That would be your traditional style fantasy game.
• Two is to do a zombie game using Palladiums Dead Reign rules as fantasy can fit within a fallen apart earth without loads of work. A bit of tweaking would be needed
• Three is to do Rifts. Rifts being a bit of a mix of fantasy/sci-fi it again doesn't take loads of work to do to make it work.

Any interest then feel free to shout here.

I'd go for the Zombie Palladium, or Rifts...

They were my choices overall as there is a lot of fantasy already.

I prefer a good SMG over a sword any day

Any would be fine with me. I have played Rifts in the past but what ever is easier for you to DM.

Its not that hard to adapt fantasy to a post apoc kind of setting. Though there will be cities and towns. Civilization won't be on the point of collapse but it will certainly be in a tight bind.

Another option is realistic [to a point] zombies are not dead but created through some form of man made virus which doesn't kill them, just makes them crazy i.e. 28 days later. To a lesser extent Resident Evil. DNA manipulation etc.

Or option B is supernatural. No explanation given. Just freaky crap started happening. The zombies are dead who walk. Other freaky things thrown into the mix.

Both options have possibilities. Option B allows for more creatures, but option 1 is more realistic.

Doesn't matter to me how the Zombies come about. Hell, could be the Voodoo Coalition or some crap. As long as I get to shoot 'em in the head.

I agree with Steel Rat. I like both options as long as their is the possibility of shooting them in the head to kill them.

As a side note I am actually creating a complete adventure path based on a zombie theme for D&D 4e.  I was wondering if I could bounce ideas of the two you as you both seem to have a like of zombie themed games.

Sure, go for it, Fobbo. I don't always provide a lucid response...

Fire away my friend.

Thanks guys. I have created a new thread to talk about it you can find it here

Working on the Zombie/post nuke game. Hard part is what to add other than zombies. I kind of feel that you might get bored with nothing but zombies.

How can anyone get bored with zombies? Especially hot naked zombie chicks...

Game is posted. Alex's character is already finished.

Hot zombie chicks are cool
