Yet Another New Setting
Posted: Sat Jan 23, 2021 4:03 pm
Years ago, I had this idea and since I am trying to spur on conversation here in the Dead Reign forum, I thought I'd share the basics of that idea.
So, the game would begin as a variant of a Beyond the Supernatural game in a sense. Something weird is going on and the PCs are engaged into finding out what it is. As the PCs investigate, they uncover a plot that could plunge the world into the zombie apocalypse, though what it is they uncover could differ from game to game. Possibilities include a madman using science to either unwittingly or even knowingly create zombies (PCs could end up doing battle with "patient zero", who is not only a zombie but also very strong and fast and retains their intelligence and knowledge!), a company that is doing drug trials that has a huge side-effect of killing people and turning them into the undead, or... well, the possibilities are limitless. From there, the PCs must act, giving them a chance to bring it to an end before the unthinkable happens. However, they can fail and still play, turning the game into a game of Dead Reign.
