You are on your own. The Army is MIA and our government is gone! There are no communications of any kind. Cities and towns have gone dark, and zombies fill the streets. The dead have risen and it would seem to be the end of the world. Help me, Mommy!

Now dont get me wrong i am not complaing I just thought that it would have had a little more pop to it other than (We dont know what caused the zombies). The multiple causes is nice it gives the players and GM room to move but over all I think that it was one of the weaker PB titles. Well thats my two cents worth anyway.
If you're looking for a potential cause check out the Rifter #45. IMHO that scenario makes DR a MUCH better game than what was made. (It's also similar to what Citizen Lazlo wrote )
Actually it IS what Citizen Lazlo wrote, just truncated.

You're in for a treat! It IS a blast.

Well, my store finally had it when i went to pick up my comics. I really do like the material presented. (That major zombie poop demon is VERY disturbing, had me thinking of the brain bug from starship troopers) The timeline was also excellent, why am i NOT surprised that North Korea would be the ones to drop the bomb and screw up the human resistance.
One curious thing though, how come the demons don't have an A.R yet the zombies do?
Just wish there had been more stuff, but i guess it'll do. As expected the material was superb!
Got it, missed the poop demon. Page please! sounds fun.

His family left him thinking he was crazy. He sold his house and bought a army surplus store and now hopes to locate his kids and exwife.), and a scrounger (A 30 yr old airplane pilot and known womanizer.) I have some more friends coming over to make characters tonight. My gf (who is a RN) plans to make a soldier Medic MOS who just got back from Iraq. No clue on the other 2 friends coming to make characters tonight. I am very excited!
Well jcook03 I hope your campaign turns out to be as much fun for you and your friends as mine has for my group. Best of luck to ya.

That would be a "Citizen Lazlo Dropped the Ball" situation.
It's only fair that I take my share of the blame too. Mistakes were made, balls were dropped... I chalk it up to inexperience on my part. Instead of finishing one piece at a time (like Kevin advised), I was all over the place like a spastic spider-monkey hopped up on Mountain Dew. Eh... live and learn.
Just Mountain Dew? Hate to imagine you on Jolt Cola.
I'm not getting the Dead Reign RPG book because it's generic and the combat rules are worthless. I mean while I am dropping the AR for zombies from the Rifters. Everything else is a truely unique and excelent setting with a strong yet flexable metaplot. The RPG seems like a collection of zombies and OCC's that by the rules in the main book it'self cannot work out as envisioned.
