The zombaby is no more ridiculous then any episode of the walking dead featuring the governor, or the 30 year old homeschool student Tobias.

Your opinion. A baby suddenly grows fangs claws and becomes super fast. I'll pass. Still a fun show.

I think AFMBE had a suppliment with Zombie cows. Lol. but if it crosses the species barrier, yeah humanity is toast in about a day and a half. I mean how do you guard against zombie mosquitos, or zombie mice, or snakes, or rabbits, or 100s of 1000s of other creatures. You'd have to have literal air tight facilities and those are few and far between, even when power's running. Much less once the power stops.
As a one off, or as a comic relief, it's one thing, but in a serious game, it's a game ender.

Unfortunately people base their zombie knowledge off of tv, soo many uninfected characters get shot in the face...

Because typically they don't. It's hard to find Zombie media (Game, book, show) Where the 'world' knew about Zombies before the zombie rise. I wrote one myself due to that lack but that's just my own thing.
Typically when zombies start popping up the world in which they do don't go "HOLYCRAP!! ZOMBIES! EVERYONE SHOOT UM IN THE HEAD!!" There's a lot of 'HERMERGURD! WHAT's GOING ON AIEEE!!" and the shooting them in the head is figured out though messy, bloody, deadly trial and error.
Heck if you look at the Walking Dead an Fear the Walking Dead, the term Zombie is -never used-. Ever. They're called "Walkers" or "biters" or what ever but they've never once used the word Zombie.

Thats because the creators of those series have said that zombies dont exist in their worlds. That leaves me to ask 'what else isnt in their world that is in ours? Do they even have Halloween? Are there any monster movies?

I wouldn't read that much into it, zombies are a bit "specialized". Though in an upcoming Dead Reign campaign I will ensure the GM house rules the existence of the zombie genre. I have pull with the GM. And Pittsburgh is a zombie city.

Zombies go right along with vampires, werewolves, mummies, skeletons, ghosts, and others. That is why I say that the world of The Walking Dead would have a different look to its spectrum of movies, books, tv shows, and possibly even holidays.

Refuse to play deadreogn because of the no bonus to strike lameness of the setting.

wick wrote:I like to think any Zombie story should have either a.) zombies that are quite different than depicted in popular culture or b.) the world has very little cultural knowledge of zombies, perhaps just enough to call the creatures zombies. Perhaps an expert on TV compares them to Voodoo zombies and the name sticks.
If either of these are not the case, the zombie apocalypse would be pretty hard to get off the ground. Before the situation gets out of hand everybody would be taking head shots (perhaps not super effectively but they would not be wasting bullets on torso shots) and shooting group members who were bitten. Groups would also come down hard with martial law from close to the start, rather than trying to cure infected or believing that a cure is right around the corner.
In the Walking Dead universe it is definitely option 'b'. Not once do they call them zombies. Rather groups have labeled them as Walkers or Biters. In Fear the Walking Dead authorities shooting at the zombies are hitting center mass and happen to hit the head on accident taking them out.
Dead Reign zombies are very different than Cinema zombies. Even disregarding the special zombie types, the average zombie is way tougher. I can see a group spending an inordinate amount of ammo trying to kill a single normal zombie (at least RAW). You need a natural 17+ to hit the head regardless if you are a Veteran Marine Corps sniper or liberal anti-gun pacifist or a 20% to hit. And even if you hit you have to do enough damage to get through the Zombie's AR. I am not surprised that many people nerf the Dead Reign zombies to be closer to cinema zombies who often go down with one bullet to the head or in a few cases 2. Another difference is that Dead Reign zombies do not infect by biting, which is a relief to players since it is a basically a one shot one kill situation in favor of the bad guys even if the players eliminate all zombies in the encounter if the zombies are infectious.

Lm
But my point is that it's not "JUST" TWD or FTWD, it's almost universal across Zombie media. (Books, games, videogames, movies, tv) That part of the "Zombie" package, is that people don't have 'zombies' in their world before the 'real' zombies pop up.
If you find a world that had lots of zombie movies and books before zombies literally started getting up and eating people, it's a pretty rare exception. To the point I wrote two books in a world just like that. (Not that it helped overly much to the world in general)

We need a bigger cross section before we can determine that, do we include Remero movies?
Pepsi Jedi wrote:Romero movies do not have 'Zombies' prior to the outbreak. The people learn over the course of the movies and what not how to kill them.
Pepsi Jedi wrote:Not really. DR Zombies, as pointed out above are stupid strong and hard to kill.
In rifts, Vampires aren't easily 'walked through' either. Not if played remotely smart. Your mileage may vary, depending on GM

That last 10 or 15 zombies books I have read all had zombies in the media before they happened for real in the book.
