About the adventure
Every year, freaks of all stripes descend upon the small town of Carnation for two days of face-meltingly brutal metal. The expansive estate of Mitzi Cavanaugh is the site for a music festival featuring some of the greatest bands you've never heard of. From up-and-coming youngbloods looking to make a name for themselves, to greybeards who never caught their big break, CARNAGEFest has earned a place in the constellation of not-to-be-missed festivals in the heavy music scene. The small town's population swells by thousands for one weekend a year and the locals have grudgingly begun to accept the influx of oddballs along with their tourism dollars. This year is the 10th anniversary of CARNAGEFest and it promises to be bigger and more raucous than ever. This year, though, one of the visitors is bringing something a little different. As the volume amps up and the aggression in the moshpit ratchets ever higher, who's going to notice one more scream? This is a short campaign using the All Flesh Must Be Eaten system to capture the feel of zombie survival horror. It's an easy system to learn and all experience levels are welcome to enjoy the show and see who walks back out of the gates after the final encore.

About me
Greetings from the northern wilds! I'm a "forever DM" but not in a bad way. I love DMing, because why limit yourself to one character when you can be all of them (less the PCs)?! DMing is my outlet for imagination and creativity. I don't draw, I'm not musical in any way, but what I am is a storyteller. Since childhood my head has been overflowing with ideas that had no outlet until I discovered D&D. I love to homebrew and I love constructing epic, sprawling campaigns that evolve and grow with the players' contributions. I'm a published author and have been a freelance writer for D&D back in 3rd Edition days. I'm looking to run D&D games, but I've run many other systems. Favourites include Aberrant, HERO System, All Flesh Must Be Eaten, Chronicles of Darkness (I particularly enjoy Beast: The Primordial!), Rifts (Savage Worlds and the original Palladium system), but my greatest love is for Hackmaster 5th Edition. So I'm also interested in creating "Learn to..." campaigns with different systems. I would love to give new players and seasoned D&D players a chance to explore new systems and see what else is out there in the vast galaxy of games. I've been playing RPGs since 1983, and DMing since 1984. But: Years of experience mean nothing if you can't adapt, adjust, and innovate to make your game the best experience for everyone at the table. My two tennets of gaming are: "Games are meant to be fun" and "Don't be afraid to get weird". Let's roll some dice.

Creating your character
Character creation will be handled at Session 0 but because this is meant to be a relatively short-lived campaign, there will be plenty of pre-generated characters on hand. These can also serve as replacements in the event of character losses.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
Players will need an account on Discord and a working microphone (video is not required). Roll20 is where the maps and dice rolling takes place so an account there is needed as well.
What Jared S brings to the table
I bring the ruleset and a deep and abiding love of the horror genre in general and zombie media in particular. My intention is for players to capture the feeling of watching a late night horror movie and put them in the middle of the show.

How Jared S creates a safe table
This is a game of zombie survival horror. Fast-paced brutal action is to be expected, as are the consequences of such action. I will discuss safety tools and players lines and veils prior to starting the game to make sure everyone feels comfortable before launching into the mayhem.
