About the adventure
Get ready for the ultimate thrill ride with "Dice of the Dead!" In this blood-pumping, gut-wrenching horrorfest, you'll find yourself in a world quickly overrun by flesh-craving zombies! Neon lights flicker over ravaged streets as you fight to survive in a pulse-pounding apocalypse where every roll could be your last. Will you escape the clutches of the walking dead or join their ranks? Grab your dice, steel your nerves, and dive into the most electrifying, bone-chilling adventure ever! Sign up now if you dare, and remember – in this game, the dead don’t just walk, they roll! *This game will use the ZACS 5e ruleset by DM Dave. https://dmdave.com/zacs-5e-modern-zombie-adventure-using-fifth-edition-rules/
Game style
Rule of Cool (RoC)
“Rule of Cool” emphasizes creative story beats over sticking to a system’s rules as written. Players have the ability to push the limits of the rules or even break core rule mechanics at times if the Game Master thinks it is interesting, fun, or cool enough.
Theater of the Mind
“Theater of the Mind” uses little to no visuals for scene settings and combat. Instead, the narrative imagery comes from the Game Master’s descriptions and character action and movement comes from Players’ descriptions.
This will be a one-shot featuring DM Dave's ZACS 5e system. I'm hoping to run a few short-form campaigns in this setting during the summer. If you're interested in trying it out or just meeting some other adventurers, come join us! Open to all experience levels.

Gameplay details
Hard lines for this game are the obvious ones (e.g. sexual assault, torture, child abuse). Excessive gore and sexual content will fade to black.

How will character creation work
Character Creation Guidelines: https://dmdave.com/zacs-5e-modern-zombie-adventure-using-fifth-edition-rules/ Characters will begin at level 1 Use the following standard array for ability scores: 13, 12, 11, 10, 10, 8. I recommend filling in a character sheet manually because ZACS 5e characters are substantially different from standard D&D builds. You can use Roll20 or Fight Club, pencil/paper, or whatever works best for you. Val will be available before the game to assist.
