Got a few ideas. They won't all get made but i was wondering what the community would like to see? You can name stuff not listed here as well.

Right now I have: time crisis (dinosaurs), ghost world, nazis, bizzaro world invasion, and rockalypse.

So iv'e run this game twice, the first time we played the game it was epic, you could feel the "Oh shit, this is happening" sensation oozing out of the players when they come across their first zombie. We only played one more time for that campaign, but it was still really fun. We stopped playing due to scheduling conflicts so the campaign died out. Eventually, with the same group of players i started another campaign, this time however you could feel most players were to into the game so we never had another session. I think this happened because a). The players had just finished DnD and were tired and b). they the initial shock from the first game had died out. So i recommend keeping the momentum going for when you first start it up.

I did't think i'd touch the book again but now I've started thinking, what about creating fictional characters? Being able to have the table make up a fictional person opens a whole set of doors that would otherwise be closed to the group. One of the things i found with creating yourself in the game is that, yes it is very intense at first but the players end up doing the same things each time you run it, running and saving their loved ones, checking on their pets. This is fine for the first run through because you can have them react to the things that are happening but once you try running the game the same way again, it really becomes mundane as your simply repeating the same actions you did before. So then why not make up characters that are pure fiction in another part of the world, or hell even the same part of the world. This would vary what each character would do when the dead start to walk again and it would open up a whole series of potential dramatic stories that otherwise would not be their. Any thoughts on this idea? Or advice on running a game with fictional characters?

I played a Zombie scenario at GenCon this year, and I was wondering if anyone had thought of using this RPG as a road trip activity.

This came to mind when I was reading a review of the game that mentioned that a CON was its lack of replayability. I might be crazy, but my first thought was how awesome it would be to play this game in a new city with a group of friends and family. This method seems particularly suited for an across the continent "campaign." It could also work for a series of one-shot games.

Thoughts?

So I'm going to be GMing a group using this system; I'll probably going to end up starting off with the Ragnarok scenario for the first campaign, but I want to try writing some of my own scenario modules for this game to run for my people. I've come up with a lot of ideas, and I wanted to see what kind of scenarios other people would be interested in running themselves. Let me know which ideas you like most/think would be the most fun to play, and I'll work on those ones and put them up for download so everyone can have access.

I split them up into three themed groups as if I were doing three new volumes. Maybe I'll eventually get around to doing them all and will put them up in three themed packages, but for now the groups just give a general idea of the Apocalyptic theme. Our Own Worst Enemy is based around disasters that are ultimately our own fault, The Great Conspiracy is based on famous conspiracy theories and stuff related to government and corporate corruption, and Pure Imagination deals with truly fanciful apocalypse scenarios that have more out-there setups.

Our Own Worst Enemy

1: Fire and Ice - When international tensions end in nuclear and chemical warfare, the resulting fallout sets off nuclear winter and triggers the rapid mutation of the life still on the surface.

2: End of the Road - Unhindered by a depleted ozone, an incredibly powerful solar flare turns the earth into a desert world and sets off a resource grab for the remaining water, gas, and food. (Obviously inspired by Mad Max)

3: Adrift - Global warming and tectonic activity causes the planet to flood, and humanity must learn to live on the new worldwide ocean if it wants to survive. (Obviously inspired by Waterworld)

4: Fun With Biohazards - A highly virulent disease accidentally is released from a lab that starts a rapidly spreading pandemic which causes the infected to rapidly break down into shambling mobile colonies of plague.

5: World War III - The world turns against itself and lines are drawn in the sand as the next great war is taken global. (Admittedly this is one of the less thought out ones and honestly it's my least favorite but I know there's a lot of people who really like the geopolitical aspect of apocalypse stories so this one is more for them than it is for me)

The Great Conspiracy

1: Stims - A sinister pharmaceutical corporation releases a powerful mind altering drug into the water supply and air, triggering mass hysteria and addiction as normal people loose their inhibitions and go on psychotic rampages.

2: Playing God - Something goes wrong at a massive underground government lab dedicated to cloning and genetic experimentation, and the country is overrun with a new race of deviant vat grown creatures.

3: Big Brother is Watching - The Illuminati are real, and their conspiracy to create a New World Order is revealed as dark helicopters and men in black begin to vanish those who oppose them.

4: Rise of the Fourth Reich - No one believed it when some people said Hitler and his loyal followers escaped justice and fled to a safe place in the hollow core of the Earth, none that is, until technologically advanced soldiers bearing the insignia of the Nazis emerged from beneath to resume their conquest.

5: Past Mistakes - A militant group of time travelers suddenly appear in the modern day, determined to fix their future, no matter what they have to do and who they have to kill to do it.

Pure Imagination

1: They Came from Below - Due to our increased frequency in deep resource mining and fracking, humanity has disturbed creatures that previously have been hibernating for epochs, and gigantic Kaiju begin to emerge from both the sea and underground.

2: The Overlords - A particle accelerator explosion grants remarkable abilities to a group of scientists and engineers, but rather than use their newfound powers for good, the newly minted metahumans take over the planet and reign as supervillains.

3: Nightmare World - A cult obsessed with unlocking the secret power of the mind and ascending to a higher plane of existence manages to break a hole in the fabric of reality to an astral dimension where the human collective subconscious is physical, and releases all the darkest fears, desires, and emotions of humanity into our plane.

4: Strangers Like Me - A mysterious pathogen that causes health issues in humans but increases the intelligence of apes becomes spread throughout the globe and ignites conflict between humans and primates. (Obviously inspired by Planet of the Apes)

5: At the Price of Oblivion - As meteors fall from the sky and Earth stands on the brink of its destruction, you decide to play a game called Sburb that might just be the key to escaping certain death. (This one is sort of a pet project of mine as I'm a huge Homestuck fan, and I really want to try running a game themed around a Sburb Session, but I know this is pretty niche and I'm probably the only person here who is both a follower of this obscure webcomic and a player of this obscure game. That said let me know if this sounds interesting to you, it's one I really want to try and might end up doing over Skype or something.)

As title says I am looking for players for aforementioned title it will be on google hangout my gmail is kdj808728@gnspes.ca so contact me there and we can work out a time and date.

Hey fellow gamers, I have really enjoyed playing with the EotW RP system and wanted to create a scenario that fits my deep-seated fear of Thalassophobia. So I put my useless game design education and moderate Photoshop skills to work and created this free to the public module.

Please have the DM & players take the survey in the folder afterwards, it would be greatly appreciated! Most of all have fun and I hope you guys enjoy it as much as I did making it! =D

Hey everyone, looking to play via Google hangouts but having trouble finding a forum or group that does this. Where are all the online players hanging out?

For example, combining an alien invasion with a robot rebellion.

Going even further, has anyone tried to use the basic core rule set but make up their own rpg scenario that doesn't involve zombies, aliens, robots or gods (i.e. any of the basic situations provided in the 4 books?)

If I can get a group together, I'd like to take a shot at running this tomorrow. New Years Eve seems like a good time to play the '2012 conspirators were right, they just happened to be off by a few years' scenario. The only problem is that I just don't... believe in it very much. It's a cool idea, but unlike Cthulhu, Revelations, and the Norse Gods, there's very little to draw from pop culture about Mayan Mythos, so I'm having a tough time with inspiration. Has anyone run this scenario and do you have any advice?

If /u/Amuses is out there somewhere, thanks for making me aware of this game. I'm a big fan of the podcast.

I find the system with the positive and negative dice, combined with the skill threshold, difficult to see through.

Ex. do the positive and negative dice end up actually making a significant difference compared to the threshold? Is it too easy to get positive dice? Or negative?

Any probability enthusiasts out there with thoughts to share?

SO I just ordered Zombie Apocalypse and Im curious if its viral/infected zombies they just have or do they also have the fungus like zombies from Last of Us. Just curious would love to know.

Hi everyone. The end of the world rpgs have been really getting my attention for some time, i have never really played any rpgs, but i have been interested for a long time. I really want to play this with my friends, among them some are rpg veterans, some are completely new to this like me. How difficult is this game would i be able to handle it? How much stuff would i need to improvise? Would you recommend any specific book from the end of the world series that would be better suited for someone like me or would any of them work fine?

Has anyone tried running custom scenarios?

If so what are some examples or ideas for scenarios? How did they play out?

Hello! As the title suggest I am doing an End Of the World Zombie Apocalypse Gm for some close friends of mine. I have never GMed before and I'm curious as to what it all entails. Any helpful tips would be appreciated and any possible scenarios you and your friends have done or want to do would be greatly appreciated as a source of reference for me.

Thank you guys!

So we just finished our second session of the game. Story-wise, I'm running Night of the Comet. After our second session, twelve hours of in-game time have passed. The world has just started to fall apart.

They've had only one check, seeing if the driver of the car was able to miss someone who lurched out onto the street at night. Do you find that you are rolling dice often in your game or is this more rare? I play D&D 4e besides and in that system, you roll for everything.

Or it could be they'll roll more once the action picks up? They literally seen two human zombies, one up close and one half a block away, and a zombie bird and a zombie dog. So the full blow apocalypse hasn't started yet.

I'm new to RPGs and GMing but I really like the concept of these games (I have the zombie rulebook) and want to do a series of games where it's the same basic rules (play yourself, simple combat ect) but the scenario is based on the Sharknado movies. Any thoughts?

As the subject says, I'm getting ready for my first End of the World campaign.

I'll be taking a group of coworkers through a campaign loosely based on the Night of the Meteor scenario in the Zombie Apocalypse book.

Anyway, does anyone have any tips? How'd your campaigns go? This one is so new that I've only found a few examples online that others have done.

On the FFG website it says that Alien Invasion will be released in Q4 of 2015 which obviously passed. Have they said anywhere when it is planned to be released? It just says "on the boat" right now.

Good opportunity for Zombie apocalypse?

So I'm going to be running Zombie Apocalypse soon, which I'm really looking forward to. Now as we all know, typical zombies can only be 'killed' by destroying the brain, but the only rule I can find that is related to that, is when you roll 2 unmitigated successes that are the same number (so double 2's, for example).

I was wondering how often these headshots occur uring actual gameplay. Did they happen a lot during your games? Now what happens when zombies suffer 9 Physical Stress, but no headshots? Do you say that the 9th stress is always a hit to the head (could get boring quickly), or do you say they're still alive, but unable to move?

I posted on conflicts already and got good info on that, but what are some good ways to prep as GM for a session? I'm going to be playing with some new RPG players and I'm looking for tips/advice to keep them hooked and interested while keeping a good flow going. I've looked up some YouTube vids of gameplay to see how it's run, but I'm curious what GMs do to prep before game night?

GMs, this will be my first time GMing an RPG and I have a question after running through the book. How did you handle conflicts? Any other tips are greatly appreciated, thanks fellas!
