The zombies are VERY compatible for use in BTS, In fact they were designed to be (theres a note about it in the DR book).

I encorage you to do "small" zobmie infestations as it is a BTS world (a la Resident Evil 1 scale) but if you can keep it contained and out of public eyes, go crazy!

Another note worth noting: the big list of guns, equipt, vehicles and whatnot are all useful in the BTS world as well.

I'm planning to have a localized (small town) zombie break out. If the characters stop it from spreading, then it will remain BTS-2, if not it'll become a DR game.

Indeed, in fact an adventure hook is being included in the victims book I'm working on will have this very idea in it.

Nemesis is currently detailing a localized Dead Reign style campaign in the War Stories section over at LS.org.

My posting has been slow but it should pick up over the next week.

Thanks for the notice, CM. There has been a lot of activity on the Lazlo side this last week. I hope to catch up reading it all sometime around the middle of next week.

I think they all can be used in BTS based on your own preferences.

For example, I wouldn't use thinking Zombies except as a very special circumstance (ie boss or sub-boss fight). I would never use a mock zombie or those half zombie things. I'm not a huge fan of the fast zombies either but might use them sparingly. I would definitely use the shamblers and the climbers.

And I throw out the rules for hitting the head or neck. Just a normal called shot, no particular penalty except for those that already exist. Things really went to far in Dead Reign and I don't find it adds anything to the game. Especially in a setting like Beyond the Supernatural which is a lower power level to begin with.

I like the BtS-1 ones the most.

Dead Reign offers a greater variety of zombies as opposed to BtS-1's zombie-mummy choice. On the other hand, DR zombies are very complex and detailed. It is a style of gaming preference.

In an entirely narrative-oriented situation like exists on the LS boards, the differences don't matter as much.

Cy, I enjoyed that story. I especially liked how you used html code for specific effects. Have we reached the end of the tale of Ashcroft?
