Discuss Zombie RPG Idea

[P.J. McKrafty]

I am somewhat of a zombie buff, I’ve read the books, seen the movies, and tried to start an RPG about them. I have only been on the OB for a little over a year so I am not a seasoned veteran when it comes to making RPGs, and I have this amazing idea that is just eating its way through me but I want an RPG that is good and lasts. My last RPG I made (Surviving the Infection) had an alright amount of sign ups but fizzled out at nine posts in the square.

The idea I have is based off the book World War Z made by Max Brooks (which I might say I recommend). It is how the world is plagued by the zombie virus and within a couple months the majority of the population is infected. It has been a couple years since then so the governments have somewhat come together and those who survived have set up their niches.

The US government has re-established a military and is starting to try and clear the countryside after Yonkers, the military’s attempt at stopping NYC’s infected from spreading by trying to stop them at a choke point which was a tremendous failure, the civilian populas either thought that the military was impotent or they abandoned them as the army had moved over the Rocky Mountains.

The storyline is about a small-town in Pennsylvania where a group of survivors have banded together in a collage turning it into somewhat of a stronghold. Survivors have migrated there at their own risk and after a couple months of clearing buildings and outlying areas they have taken back the town and even fortified it to a degree.

Unbeknownst to them an enormous mass of infected for an unknown reason are heading there way. The military sent a regamin to try and halt the infection but they were overwhelmed and had to retreat back to the town. Now the regamin is trying to prepare the town for the siege or evacuation.

That is all i have so far I am still working on it but I would like to hear what you think and get some criticism/advise.
