Dead Eyes

I just finished a small RPG within the past hour. It's called Dead Eyes, and it's just plain simple, and it's about being a zombie. Less than a page in length, it contains rules, and setting... well, maybe not setting, but it mentions setting. Okay, forget setting. You'll probably figure out the setting just by reading the document. It's simple. Have fun.

RE: Dead Eyes

Hi Tim,

OK, I found it.

Er, um, if I do decide to play a game in which players are Zombies, I think I'll use FUDGE, instead, because it is better known, as easy to play, similarly Simulationist, and has more to it if I need it. So, basically, I'll be using your setting, which to restate, is "the characters are Zombies just like in the movies".

OK, I just can't play the @$$. I apollogize for the above. But I must ask; what's the point? Why would I play this? Is this under development? I don't even see where it might be going. You have a really interesting setting in MCD, so we know that you are capable of coming up with interesting stuff. So why this?

(OK, now I've written a pointless reply longer than the game; more apollogies)

Mike

Oh, FWIW, I do like the name. I wish I could come up with better names.

RE: Dead Eyes

Um, I have to agree. Like the name, but there's not much there. And I think most would agree I'm the resident Zombie Fanatic. :smile: Jared had some cool ideas for a zombie game, that might expand upon this "needs expansion" entry... I'm working on Dead Meat v.2 yet, but that's from the vict-, er, humans point of view.

I like Magical Crimes Division tho. Did you ever see "Cast a Deadly Spell"?

RE: Dead Eyes

I thoroughly apologize for Dead Eyes. I watch horror movies semi religiously, and a friend made a remark that zombie movies don't count, because they're comedy movies. For some reason, I got pissed, wrote Dead Eyes in about 15 minutes, and posted it. It really helped me blow off a lot of steam. It is playable, but I would gladly recommend FUDGE or the Zombie Characters system for AFMBE over Dead Eyes. I'm sorta surprised anybody responded. On a side, MCD related note, I realized I left a big chunk out of the initial document. The rules regarding vehicles. I'll be working on that over the weekend. It should be posted Monday afternoon.

Thanks,
Galfraxas
