There are a lot of zombie story games out there, but this is a little different. This is meant to be a funny short series, however there will be some gory scenes. As the name implies, these are tips to fight against zombies. Does anyone have anf funny tips, defenses, gadgets, and ideas? Different types of zombies would be helpful too. Also, should the main character be a boy or girl?

 

Rule 1: Don't be black... Zombies are racist.

Rule 2: Don't be that annoying girl who's constantly screaming. If the zombies don't get you, one of the other survivors might shoot you in the head just to shut you up.

Rule 3: Don't use run of the mill weapons. Anybody can shoot a gun, but if you've got a crossbow, a chainsaw or a samurai sword, people will think you're cool and you'll stick around longer.

Rule 4: Kill the guy with the bite! A guy in your group got bitten by a zombie and now he's really sick? ... Don't just hold a damp cloth next to his head and hope that he gets better, kill him quick before he eats you!

Rule 5: Get a protective suit... This one's not really in films or TV much, it's just common sense 

The guy in 28 Days had an awesome suit.

It was so totally cool and effective in fact, that he decided he didn't need it anymore when the plot called for him to go on a trek through zombie hordes on the quest to become one of the infected.

Second Stupidest Plot Hole Ever! >:(

What's the first? 

That the military group just decided to become a bunch of pedo rapists after only 28 Days?

Funsies! ^_^

That too haha!

But my #1 most hated plot hole is the ridiculously stupid ending of 'The Mist'.

The entire movie is like a seven course meal at the finest restaurant, where you savor each part, but then for desert (the end) the waiter comes over, spits his gum out onto a plate and hands it to you.

Yeah, it was pretty bad, but not as bad as the one in The Stand.

But what about a storygame where you're in a zombie game show and you have to be unique to survive.

Live in Australia... No one lives there :)

Yeah, in order to escape the flesh eating dead, move to Australia!

Where literally everything else will try to kill you.

Very true

 

I don't quite understand how you would use a main character in a zombie guide. If I got to choose a gender for the main character though I would go with girl because a girl survivor seems more badass.

Home Defenses Just Ideas

1.If in a multiple story house destroy the first set of stairs if possible.

2.Cover all windows so that you can't be seen from within.

3.Hollow out the floor in front of your front door and add spikes in it. *Don't forget the welcome mat to conceal it.

4.A sturdy built privacy fence goes a long way. Concealment, defense and possible fire wood in winter.

5.Always have a separate room for new guests/survivors that can be locked from the outside. Make sure they don't get the chance to kill you in your sleep and you get to make sure they are not infected.
