Christmas Eve Zombie Spectacular
« on: 26 December 2024, 10:19:35 PM »
Ran a zombie game for the chir'ren early Christmas Eve.

Grandkids, nieces, etc.   Set in Sebastian, FL at the fishing cabin.

They all died, but they learned something.

Besides learning, did they enjoy it?

That’s a very nice looking game. Anymore photos? And what did they learn?

They learned when a "1" on a D6 is a "fumble" , which means "lose weapon", "drop weapon", "fall down", etc, that melee vs zombies just for the Hell of it gets you killed.  Lol.

Clear the cabin, secure the doors/windows and win.  Decide to go outside vs 50 plus zombies just for the thrill....bad idea.

:)

They loved it.  My nieces are painting zombies as I speak.

Great table! It sounds like a fun game (well, with zombies, it's always the case!)  ;)

Tonight, it's younger kids, so it's 54mm unpainted Revolutionary War with a 1,000 figures, a 10x10 hardwood floor, and blowguns that shoot nerf darts!°

They say that what doesn't kill you makes you stronger.. it appears in your game's case, what does kill you makes you smarter... :D

Good job, either way.  Well done!
