I like the Dead walk again, free to download and plays a bit like Combat zone, good easy to play

I have modified it with some bits fomr ATZ and Combat zone to build teams and charactors.

also Occult Wars very good small skirmish with a touch of RPG Think .45 with claws and teeth :0)

I do believe Pappa Midnight is working on a set which sound promising too

Got to go along with the crowd - All Things Zombie.

All of Ed's rules are worth checking out.  His reaction systems give a nice touch of chaos to your battleground.

[jlstuht]

Another good game is Extreme Zombie hunter, I have down loaded it but havent had a chance to play a game. Quite tongue in cheek as you olay a Hunter and must have a sponsor, the aim is to kill as many as possible, capture the flag, exit the table etc. You score points for killing and can also raise revenue form advertising whilst slaying.

It would make a good pulp game in a crazy sort of way

The Dead Walk is pretty good ( and Free!) and Xtreme Zombie Hunter is a lot of fun aswell.
I've also played Savage Showdown, which is really easy to adapt to Zombie gaming.
Combat Zone and Shockforce are also dead easy ( excuse the pun) to adapt to Zombie gaming aswell.
Zombie Apocalypse by Game Werks is OK , but it's a little "lite" for a production game, although it has got some good ideas ( using markers similar to Space hulk for Zombies until they are spotted).
ATZ is very good for solo play and is pretty easy to learn ( which is a bonus!) and has good support.

As LTD said I'm working on a rule set for Zombie gaming ( damn these things take a long time to get right!!!). I've played a few games and I am ironing out balance issues. The last recorded battle ran really well and the the system coped quite easily with 60+ Zeds on the table.

At the end of the day, most skirmish systems can be adapted for Zombie gaming. The only real thing to address is zombie movement, deployment and reactions. Stat wise they are tough but stupid humans, easliy defeated on their own but lethal in groups!

I am also thinking about getting into zombie games (I looking around the net for cheap Zeds now - any ideas? ). I have down loaded The Dead Walk and after a quick read, they seems ok (to someone who has played no other zombie system). Pappa, when will your system be finished and what style of game will it be like (what features does it have - without giving to much away)?

TT.
