[siriq]

i still think that attacks should be 3d6 and based off of a score rolling under to hit despite the fact that it negates the whole "d20" coined term.

matt...shut up...just cause u cant hit a 7' dinosaur with ur fist u shouldnt get pissed off lol

[heatseeker]

you still have to do dishes bitch so I wouldn't make me any madder.

[siriq]

its called d20 because you use d20s anyways so you have to stick to the rules and everything, because changing something as large as that just is a waist of time because you have to change everything and with 3d6 its impossible to get a 20 so no crits.

Tell him to check out "Flesh Must Be Eaten" - it's a zombie RPG, and a damn fine one at that.

[heatseeker]

let's stick to gurps then, bitch.

Also, Max Brooks book "The Zombie Survival Guide" is mandatory reading for anyone thinking of running a zombie anything.

Roger Roger...

Here is what fluff I got from the first adventure...kinda short. But some funny things in it...

9/4/06

Jeremy, Chip, Miguel, Jonah, and Lt. Blank...character names.

The characters meet at B Dub's in Sycamore, IL...after a breaking news story the characters find out about the undead infestation ravaging eastern Illinois (Chicago...Midway and Ohare areas.). however what they don't know is that the news story was 5 hours old and some of the zombies (people who took a plane from out of the country to the US) had reached the Dekalb area.

An explosion rockets the restaurant shattering the window and allowing debris to enter the location. Lt. Blank and Chip each get hit by flying debris but reamin ok to act. It is then that the two groups meet one another...one group being Jeremy, Chip, and Miguel from Dekalb...the other group being the NIU police officers. After this short respite the group decides to leave and go to police HQ at NIU. On their way out angry mobs try to steal their car. Jonah kicks it into full reverse and books. On their way down Rt. 23 and then onto Lucinda, they notice more undead people as well as borken windows on shops.

Once they arrive at HQ they see a few people banging on the doors, but two officers are holding the door shut. "I see you guys are handling it, I have a few people to run home. Car 13 out." the characters then take that moment to go to Jeremy's dwelling in Old Orchard Townhomes where they get their first encounter with the undead beings. 3 of them ambush our heroes at the door to appartment 9. Two were easily taken out by the officers and Miguel. Miguel took out a fiend by slicing its yhead off with ease. While the two officers took pot shots to take one of the closer two out. The last proved to be resilient taking two shots to both arms. Then the zombie lunged for miquel missed and fell to the ground. it grabbed his leg. Miguel raised his sword over his head and stabbed down into the monsters skull, killing the brain and the creature.

After gathering some supplies the characters loaded up the squad. Unknowing to all but Lt. Blank, 5 more zombies were heading up the back drive of OOT. The only problem being one of them had a gun...these things were getting smarter. Having no regard for anything, the officer slammed the car into gear and ran all 5 zombies over. One thrifty monster hung onto the roof...taking a shot in the arm it was then only hanging on with the rigormortis grip of its left hand. This zombie was the one with the gun, only a snubnose cop killer, but still deadly enough at close range. Unlucky Jeremy took a shot in the arm, but Officer Jonah shot his other arm and the monster went tumbling behind the car after being run over. Blood and brains everywhere...

After a quick stop at the newman center, the heroes take to the streets and head for the closest State Police HQ...

Lt. Blank almost ended up being Lt. Link i.e. josh...the 29 yr old cop that still hasnt left NIU lol.

If you wondered, I picked dekalb cause it had easily recognizable places and an easy way of getting characters together.

yah it was a good time, we even shot a black guy in the leg because he was trying to steal our car, and left him for the zombies.

[ddaypunk06]

lol yea that was funny. I am off tomorrow if anyone wants to play. Preferably I would like to play not at OBG...I dont like playing in front of observers...as in since I would be GMing. I would prefer to use matt and josh's cause you guys have a nice table...I dont have room for anymore than the 5 we had playing last time. I just need to get to work on the adventure.

[RARE CHOICE GAMES]

Hey, I am not 29 but 23 and I still have school which is why I am still in Dekalb...otherwise I dont have a problem if you based the character off me.

[siriq]

sounds good

[heatseeker]

depends on what's goin on (i.e. homework wise)

[ddaypunk06]

yea this is becoming a falling out cause its hard to get everyone together at one time during the week.

[siriq]

eh we can figure something out

[ddaypunk06]

ah, well we played again on saturday. There were 7 including myself playing. Went very well for Mike doin his first GM...no not Rios, a roommate of mine. I will post some fluff when I can get him to write it since he GM'ed.

There was alot of shooting thats all I can say!

[heatseeker]

it was pretty good. needs to be less talking and more gaming. people are getting too off topic from the game when we are trying to progress.

[siriq]

yah, i like how the story is going.

[dragonbait]

I figured this time instead of just being the cause of Mike getting shot, I'd just shoot him myself because I couldn't hit the zombies. I'm going home this weekend on friday, but I hope to be back early sunday.
