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/

Creating your character
We will build characters together at the start of the game. DM Val will be online 30 minutes ahead of time to assist if you want a headstart. 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. If you feel comfortable trying to build a character in advance, 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.
This will be a one-shot featuring DM Dave's ZACS 5e system. I'd like to run a short-form campaign with this system, and hoping to recruit some players by running a few learn-to-play one-shots. If you're interested in trying it out or just meeting some other adventurers, come join us! Open to all experience levels.

Safety
How DM Val creates a safe table
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.
