Re: Life altering thought about zombies, please read
You guys should read the Zombie Survival Guide on zombie digestion. Since the zeds digestive system is not functional(depending on what/where your zeds hail from), everything
they eat is undigested. Kinda makes it more digusting then zombie poo.

Re: Starting points for DR campaigns
You'd be doing alot of crawling and crouching. Redding's sewer lines are on the small side.
Me, I'd probably head for Shasta Dam.

Re: Starting points for DR campaigns
Sounds scary as hell.... I think I'm going to leave town. Too bad you didn't still live here, it'd be nice to play a game instead of gm once in awhile. Anyway like i said google earth/maps is out of date, but i used it, until i drove to those areas the players went to and realized just how out of da...

Re: Starting points for DR campaigns
No diesel pump. And Nova/Foothill is on Eureka way/299 West going towards Old Shasta, French Gulch, etc. Mistletoe i dont get over to that area much. I can check any location you want info on. Those woods may still be there, but they're probably surrounded by housing now, and Safeway/Lowes shopping ...

Re: Starting points for DR campaigns
How long has it been since you were here? Woods behind Enterprise HS are gone and housing is there. I started my players at home, they played as themselves. They ended up like i said at the SSNP/Mercy Oaks out on collegeview drive. After that they decided to go 'nomad' and left heading towards Susan...

Re: Starting points for DR campaigns
No factories anymore... Its all part of Turtle Bay now, Carter House museum is gone, the Plunge is now the Aquatic Center and Skate park. The Civic Center would be a good place to make a safe area. Used to play laser-tag around there 20 years ago. The area around the Civic is now all part of Turtle ...

Re: Starting points for DR campaigns
Toys-R-Us closed down about 6 years ago when the parent company closed down some 500(?) stores. Redding just happened to be one of them. Shasta College is still there its built up a bit. As far as the radio tower, idk. Havent been out there much. Its fenced-in in some sections of the campus, but sti...

Re: Starting points for DR campaigns
Wow, someone else from Redding. Toys-R-Us is no longer in business here, its now a PetSmart. I myself have used Redding as a starting point for a zed campaign. Since obviously its a place I know. The Mt. Shasta mall is still there, but you'd be hard pressed to make it a safe area. Too many glass doo...

Re: Left 4 Dead
PC version is better anyway. It can be modded much easier, thus giving longer life to the game overall. Not that it makes much difference, since L4D 2 will be out this fall(or was it winter?).

Re: Character creation question
Reading through making a witch and there is nothing that tells you what the base PPE is. I tried to reference other OCC but they are all vary. Just want to make an honest character. In my PFRPG 2nd Ed. its under Gift of Power as a selectable ability. Your right tho, i don't see a base per se anywhe...
