Tbh a zombie setting can work so long as it less "lol zombies appeared and civilization collapsed" and more like early RE games or Cockneys vs Zombies "shit is fucked up where zombies struck, but the military has contained the situation and is currently gearing up to deal with it".

Zombie Apocalypse can be interesting if done with a twist:

>Instead of a zombie apocalypse, imagine a skeleton apocalypse. A magical bloodborne curse melts all flesh on a person, while simultaneously animating their skeleton. In order to keep functioning, skeletons need to absorb the blood of their victims with their bone marrow, driving them to slaughter the human population.

>Unlike zombies, skeletons aren't mindless, though they lose nearly all of their memories and personality after turning. In contrast to the chaotic zombie hordes, skeletons are obsessed with order and attack in regimented ranks reminiscent of Napoleonic age armies, destroying everything in their path. They make use of any tools they come across, wielding a variety of improvised weapons. However, due to one of the side effects of the skeleton curse, any metal objects that they carry turn to rust with ten times the normal speed.

>They are pretty much bumbling cartoon villains, incredibly absent-minded and dense, laughably easy to trick. However, the power of an individual skeleton depends on the amount of blood absorbed by its bone marrow. After absorbing enough blood, they start sprouting thick bone armour that gives them resemblance to knights, while sharp bone blades grow out of their hands. As armour grows over them, so does their intelligence, while their personalities turn cruel and sinister. Regular skeletons are instinctively drawn to these bone knights, who use their newfound tactical skills to hunt down and slaughter the flesh bearers with brutal efficiency. They're basically stereotypical OCD Prusian generals who derive some sort of pleasure from making their skeletal regiments march up and down the square for hours on end.

I dunno, I wouldn't mind a zombie apocalypse game that goes like this:
>Apocalypse starts
>Shit hits the fan hard
>World in chaos, in addition to zombies you have looters, rioters, doomsday cults, etc
>Potentially high character mortality rate as everybody tries to get out of dodge
>Once the group is out of civilization, main goals are finding supplies while avoiding zombies
>At this stage zombies are the major enemy, as everybody is tired, hungry, and inexperienced
>As the game progresses and you gather a group, zombies become more of an environmental hazard than enemies
>The real potential enemies are other survival groups
>Gangs, Preppers, Former Military/Law Enforcement, and even other ragtag bands like yours
>Sometimes you'll be able to trade or even join forces
>Other times you'll end up fighting
>Soon zombies stop being small groups and start being straight up swarms
>Hundreds, Thousands, even million strong
>Now the zombies are the enemies again

That's what I like, anyways.

That was a good movie, but Hot Fuzz was the best out of that trilogy.
>>
>>54287973

I don't know. I found everything in Shaun of the Dead more believable while still maintaining both a ton of humor and zombie movie stuff. Hot Fuzz, while still great and funny, felt like it followed being a cop movie too closely in comparison.
>>
>>54288233
>>54287973
Maybe it's because Buddy Cop action films tend to be less grounded than the average Zombie film?
Focusing on normal people in a shit situation as opposed to badasses doing badass things, yanno
I feel like Shaun vs Fuzz is a lot like Alien vs Aliens, quite different films with several similarities and both are good enough that preferring either one is a respectable choice.

Personally I like Shaun of the Dead more mostly because it's Spaced in an alternate universe

Maybe it's because you roleplay a man with a vagina and not a woman.
The biggest issue I have with males in my group playing females is that they only ever create morally-bankrupt, power-hungry lesbians who disdain children and never wear feminine clothing.
I once had a stowaway aboard their ship be a little girl who was stealing a little food from storage because she was starving, and their first reaction was to throw her overboard until I REALLY layed it on thick that it would be an utterly demonic thing to do.

Like, I get if you want to do maybe one or two of these concepts to avoid a total feminine stereotype, but this is just retarded. If you create a woman, PLAY A WOMAN.

Gritty ZA campaigns are my fetish. They are just shitty 90% of the time because 90% of GMs are shit and just rip off the Walking Dead instead of making it their own thing.

The problem is every encounter is the same.

Undead have literally no variety.

How do we kill undead?

>Undead have literally no variety.

Zombies, skeletons, ghouls, ghasts, ghosts, wights, bodaks, huecuva, allips, shadows, Sons of Kyuss, mummies, liches.

Just off the top of my head. And they all look different and have different fluff/abilities going back decades.

In a zombie apocalypse, out of everything you named,there is only one that actually shows up in the setting.
>>
>>54291068
I don't see why that has to be the case, especially in a D&D setting. There are plenty of undead-themed modules.

Even if it's a zombie apocalypse because zombies are the most numerous (or more powerful in your setting), then that's just more reason for ghouls to gather and feed on the remains, grubs to infest corpses and become Sons of Kyuss, allips to form from all the suicides, etc.

Don't be disingenuous. Don't mince words. You'd literally only say this about guys playing girls.

Never in the history of all gamers across all tables has anyone ever had an issue with a girl playing a male PC. You have a problem with a specific kind of crossplaying, and you not owning up to the double standard isn't fooling anyone.

Even if you don't have special undead, they still work as a sort of environmental factor

>I could just shoot this guy, but guns are loud and it'll make the zombies converge on us
>I'll throw a noisemaker into the enemy camp, not only distracting them, but also drawing zombies to them

Yeah it shifts the focus from Man vs Nature to Man vs Man, but that tends to make better games anyway

The most enjoyable way to play a zombie apoc game is to have yourselves represented truthfully and realistically. Set it in your local area and use your own knowledge. It requires mature players to prevent meta gaming, that is googling how to 'hot wire a car' or 'how to 'how to remove a bullet and patch a wound' an hour before the session.

If you find the above, it is truly one of the best ways to enjoy that genre.

Not just werewolves, but those are a given; take all the varieties of werecritters (wereboars, werecats, wolfweres, pic related) and have them out and about, hunting what unchanged humanity remains.

This can be done well if it's played as "weirdos kicked out of normal society band together to kill things for money" or if those races are just common in the setting.

The problem with zombies is that realistically they shouldn't be a threat. Even if you do the whole "the virus is airborne and only a small percentage of people are immune" thing they'd rot or run out of energy to move with very quickly, meaning you might as well have just skipped the zombie bit and just done a more realistic regular supervirus apocalypse. Zombies are just humans but without all the things the make humans dangerous, they can't communicate or use tools, they can't heal wounds, they're slow and weak, they follow noises and are thus easily kiteable, and they can't even throw stuff. Add on top of this how most zombie stories portray humans as way less competent and more selfish than they should be and it's easy to see why people are getting sick of them. Zombies are only as popular as they are (were?) because they have a good aesthetic, you could replace zombies with man-eating homonculi from another dimension or something, but it just wouldn't look as cool as desolated streets filled with rotting people.

That's why I'm waiting for people to get tired of viral zombies. Then we can move on the the way more fun "there's magic and a malevolent force is pumping out a huge variety of super undead that aren't all just boring old rotting threat free corpses" media.

Or, my FAVORITE apocalypse scenario:
Complete bodysnatcher saturation.
You and your buddies are vampies. You are attempting to go out to the club and get blood, like you usually do. You get the ladies into a nice unseen area, and dig in- only to get viscous black oil. They're all replicants.

Next folks you try to snatch have green plant juice for blood. Some kind of pod people.

The next one you get is a lizardman.

You can't FIND any humans.

You are really thirsty.

So, Sonny tabletop edition? I'd play it.

>>54283082
I'd play a magical zombie apocalypse game. Give all the zombies a single controller, who's currently trying to manage a worldwide campaign of destruction but will happily focus on anyone who proves particularly troublesome. Now it's not just mindless hordes, it's the risk of those hordes suddenly becoming a whole lot less mindless.

The biggest problem with viral zombies is that people just have to make it a global threat that causes the civilization to collapse. What is wrong with early RE styled outbreak where the virus has decimated a remote city/mansion/island/research base/ship and you try to get the hell out of there?

Agree. Zombies as the headline act is always shit.

>>54298264
I like it. Mindless zombie footsoldiers are led by skeletal knights, who are in turn lead by ghostly officers, and so on going up the chain with stronger and smarter undead baddies until you get to the lich king in charge of everything.

Try this. Basically the Russians capture a werewolf and experiment on it, and accidentally mutate the lycanthropy virus making it airborne... Its nearly 100% contagious and spreads across the world in under a month and come the full moon shit gets crazy as most of the human population is infected and goes apeshit a few days before, during and after the fullmoon. A very small percentage of people are naturally immune, something like 10%.

After the fullmoon passes a lot of people kill themselves, because after reverting back to human they have horiffic memories of what they did as were wolves, the people who don't kill themselves are now certified sociopaths.

Given how long she's been fighting with Mokou at this point, even a good straight right to her jaw probably won't phase her too much. She's probably used to having the shit kicked out of her.
>>
>>54300622
If she's anything like Mokou (and we know that she is) who dies multiple times during a duel without considering it unusual, it's gonna take a lot more than some physical punishment to prevent her from ballbusting.
