best systen for zombie survival games
ok I this is more of a question that I was asked by a friend of mine how is planning on doing a zombie horror type of game what is the best system for zombie horror games. I know that D20 Modern has a book covering that type with stats but I was wondering if there is other options. If so what are they and how good they are ?

Re: best systen for zombie survival games
What do you want in your zombie survival game?
Modern era? D&D-type setting? Ancient Mesopotamia?
What's the main conflict? Man v. Zombie? Man v. Man? Man v. Environment?The Cranky Gamer

All Flesh Must Be Eaten would be a contender.

Re: best systen for zombie survival games
Zombie Squad is a fun, but definitely not as crunchy as most, game.
And it's free, check it out here: http://paratime.ca/zombie/
Good luck and let us know what your friend chooses! :)

Post apocalypse or middle of the zombie outbreak? If post apocalypse, Red Markets might be far and away the absolute best “crapsack world because of zombies” game ever made

Re: best systen for zombie survival games
Outbreak: Undead has potential, but there are a few rules snafus you'd probably want to work through before the game started. Apparently there's a 2nd Edition of it that I haven't looked at yet, but the 1Ed stuff is playable and has some interesting crunchy bits to it.

GURPS? It has a variety of options.

Re: best systen for zombie survival games
Don't do it in D&D 5e, god that campaign sucked.
Savage Worlds would be good for it. The Horror Companion has good material for variant Zombies if that is what you are looking for.
I guess you are probably more interesting in a Zombie Survival setting for Savage Worlds if you are looking for "the best game" which this hasn't been an interest of mine since our 5e zombie campaign so I have no particular settings to recommend.Last edited by Rhedyn; 2019-08-14 at 02:09 PM.

I recommend Rotworld, from Goblinoid Games, It uses the Action Table mechanics from 1st Edition Chill. Solid game, fun mechanics.
