All Things Zombie Evolution: The Hunger

Continuing on with our story, our three survivors Ralph, Theo, and Natasha continue on in the zombie apocalypse. After a few days, hunger starts to take its toll. So their next encounter is an explore in the suburbs. It's just a couple of days after their last encounter so they should be pretty hungry but not enough to lose reputation. Starting next encounter though, I think I'll drop their reps, assuming they survive.

Ralph Rep 5 BAP-2 (blue die)

Natasha Rep 4 unarmed (green die)

Theo Rep 4 unarmed (yellow dice)

The Story: After traveling the countryside ducking zombies, they knew they needed some type of sustenance. The weather had turned on them and a steady rain crept in adding cold into the equation. Now, soaked and chilled, they decided to venture into the nearby town to try and find food or help. What they saw was an unimaginable site, total chaos in the streets. How could the landscape have changed so much in just a matter of days? Fires raged out of control, zombies roamed the streets, and society seemed on the brink of collapse. Sporadic human activity could be seen, although they seemed to be fighting each other as much as fighting off the zombies.

The set up:

The first PEF resolved as three gangers. After Ralph sent the two blues into duck back, Natasha and Theo charged into melee. The ganger missed and was knocked out by Natasha. The will to fight test saw the gangers split and the grunts stay. Three shots fired but no zombies. A pistol (1 shot) was found looting the body along with a king sized Snickers bar. They decided to arm Theo with the new firearm as he was a former Marine and had some experience with firearms.

The second PEF resolved as food that could be gathered. They popped the trunk of the red car and found a can of re-fried beans as part of a survival stash. At least it wasn't dog food! The last PEF moved away.

The final PEF resolved as more food. The team decided not to enter the building but Ralph hopped in a nearby dumpster to search around and came up with a partially eaten hamburger that was still somewhat good...After a few days of being hungry, anything looks good!

Game Notes: After the punching the ganger's lights out, Natasha increased in rep to 5.

Another fun game! That's why we play, right? It was a highly successful encounter with food enough for the entire group. I thought at least somebody was going to have to go hungry. No zombies encountered but three food units and a gun is pretty sweet, all things considered.

It took about an hour total playing the game, snapping pics, and writing this blog entry, not to mention going back and forth from my kitchen table to the computer to take notes. Now it's time for lunch, that half eaten hamburger made me hungry!

Thanks again for reading!
