Title: Zombie forum?
Post by: jp762 on September 22, 2011, 06:43:27 PM
Eerie horror seems to be dead (pardon the bad joke), anyone know of any specific zed gaming forums?
NOT yahoo.
Im abandoning all the others to stay laf but would like a genre specicific one also.
Help!

Don't really know of one, though that may change soon!

I wouldent mind a Zombie specific forum part here on LAF actually, there sure are a lot of posts regarding this subject in here, and to me it seems justified enough to get its own dedicated sub-forum or something.
Title: Re: Zombie forum?
Post by: jp762 on September 22, 2011, 10:46:36 PM
Hear hear!
A sub forum sounds great.
Maybe we should start a petition........... :D

A sub forum here would be great, but failing that it would be easy enough to start a dedicated zombie forum up.

I, am a luddite when it comes to such things alas. Took me half a day to set up a blog (still have not posted), we need a boffin. Any suggestions?

I love zombie games (and ATZ in particular).  I'd love to see a zombie child forum or it's own forum outright.

Title: Re: Zombie forum?
Post by: Achilles on September 23, 2011, 08:38:39 AM
With the diffent periods (like pike and shotte, modern, futuristic) I would say it deserves it's own board.

+4 BTW

Myself and Pappa Midnight used to moderate Eerie horro but to be honest with LAF and TMP there was an overwhelming amount of horror genre games being discussed and it tailed off with people joining etc. The chap who ran it also seemed to disappear !

To be honest, I will not leave this forum for another, however, a dedicated subforum on its own would be perfect. It could also be Zombie/Post Apocalypse, wich I feel is a bit the same thing, but with different flavour. Fallout could easily fit in as well. But, a zombie only forum would be quite enough on its own I belive.

Agreed, Post-apocalyptic projects deserve their own boad, too... especially since the official Lead Adventure miniatures are for exactly that :)

As long as the board doesn't get the TMP treatment a.k.a. having a board for every (obscure) period times all different scales there is, all should be good.

This, especially on the not leaving this forum for another.   I'm not sure Post Apoc needs it's own sub forum, as I think it pretty much fits the definition of 'Future Wars'.   Zombies however, I think deserve their own child board.
Title: Re: Zombie forum?
Post by: Digitarii on September 23, 2011, 03:58:33 PM
There is already a dedicated PA forum called post apocalyptic games at http://s1.zetaboards.com/Post_Apoc_Wargames/index/ . Although a child zombie board wouldn't be amiss here.

If there is a new board created here I would suggest one for Horror in all forms,to include zombies.  Fashions change in gaming, and at some point in a few years, zombies will fade, and vampires or mummies or something will get popular. 

Although we do have a Cthulu board already, so the mods would need to decide whether that becomes part of Horror, or remains a standalone.

I still stand by my original petition, zombies (and perhaps post-apocalypse), not a general horror board. This was for zombie Mayhem and nothing else. I feel that the rest of the horror scene is something else, its more related to cthulu and such, adventure stuff. Zombies is about outbreak, mayhem, the destruction of society and survival. More like a post-apocalyptic (not nececary though) world than vampires and victorian professors :-P

I like this idea, it is usually referred to as the "Zombie Apocalypse"

Another +1 for a child forum.

Title: Re: Zombie forum?
Post by: area23 on September 25, 2011, 08:06:26 PM
I'm against it!  :)
My interests are broad and fluctuate all the time. I like all SF related stuff in one forum. zombies, post apoc, space opera. a varied newsfeed where I can see anything from anybody. more boards can create a TMP-effect where you don't know anymore where to go, or where you found that thread the other day. (not to mention TMP-pedants' "you posted this on the wrong board" replies)
I think it's already a shame Atomic Café isn't part of the gereric SF board, as it's overlapping other modern time periods and genres. And should be.
Title: Re: Zombie forum?
Post by: itchy on September 25, 2011, 08:56:22 PM
Must admit I do trawl through future wars and often miss zombie threads ,but would a new  thread cover evrything zombie I.E a few zombies running around a castle in www11 or just day of the dead type scenarios with zombie hoards running amock and would it be a specific time period ie modern ,gothic stays in gothic section?
Title: Re: Zombie forum?
Post by: capthugeca on September 25, 2011, 09:00:02 PM
I am totally for it.
I really do not like zombie stuff. All other future wars is great.
So having a a zombie child board to filter out all the stuff that is of no interest would really suit me.

Title: Re: Zombie forum?
Post by: Sangennaru on September 25, 2011, 09:05:50 PM

I agree with Capthugeca, although it would suck if this place got overly 'boardy' like TMP.

I take the opposing view: Future Wars has become some a 'broad church' that I find it a bit of a mess of conflicting genres , periods and foci.
Title: Re: Zombie forum?
Post by: Sangennaru on September 25, 2011, 09:10:32 PM
I think that the main problem is that when you post something zombieish, it is interesting for future wars as well, and for any postapocalyptic topic.

There should be a Tag system here, to select the specific topics in a single "favourite" board, customized for each one... But it probably has to modify all the architecture of the site.
Title: Re: Zombie forum?

With so many people in support, I reckon there's an overwhelming case for a separate zombie forum entirely, where enthusiasts can discuss their obsession with the undead to their heart's content.
Great idea, lads. Go for it! Can I contribute somewhere to help get this noble venture off the ground? I don't mind PayPalling really quite a lot of money... It's long overdue.

Ditto. I've got a game I've written three years ago I'd love to have folks try out and give feedback on before I put it to print. A dedicated forum would be just the place to post it! :D

I was going to suggest Zombie Town, but feel that pales vs. Night of the Living Lead...

Funny, I was putting thought to making a thread requesting a zombie section so I could look at aliens, mutants and warbots without seeing another greasy undead thread spreading it's bony fingers through the radiation soaked ground.

Sincerely hope we get a zombie sub-forum.

Well, I was primarely in favour of a sub section for zombie related stuff here on LAF, not at all interested in a new forum. So with this in mind, lets get a sub section here, for the Living Impaired so we can move on! :)
