About the adventure

The world ended with a whoosh. Alien invaders sent terraforming pustules to release a virus. 90% of the world's population were dead within weeks. Tragic. Cataclysmic. Worse, as the remaining Eight Hundred and Twenty Five Million people struggled to deal with the tragedy, with governments collapsing and anarchy rising alongside panic, those 90% rose from the dead as what could only be described in the human mind as zombies. Spreading the virus by bite, eating the bodies of the living, the horror of their existence expanding. Some.0001% of the world's population are immune to the virus. 825,000 people, maybe enough to restart the world if they can just survive. I mean, sure, there's zombies, limited resources, terraformed flora and fauna, and potentially incoming alien invaders, but that's all in a day's work in the apocalypse, am I right? There's some good news though. Roughly 825 people in the world actually gained something from the Virus instead of losing absolutely everything. They gained super powers! Amazing, right? Well, buckle up, Buttercup, because you're one of those 825. Now can you keep your people safe long enough to ride out the apocalypse?

About me

40+ year Gamemaster with experience in many systems. I offer character-driven storylines, role-play, exploration, and tactical combat, along with lots of room for humor. If there's a system you want to learn, I'm patient, knowledgeable, and great at teaching you while still giving you control over your own decisions. Teaching people a new system is a great privilege I accept with humility and gratitude. I do my homework and help you understand things in a friendly and approachable manner. Experienced players find challenge and opportunities to be creative and fully immerse in the games I run without worry about me messing with rules without feedback or foreknowledge.
