Here is a quote from him: Then you ought to stop by our Zombietown Massacre game tomorrow at Great Escape (1pm - ?). ?Mikos found and painted up a fat guy in a baseball cap, and I just got finished with the following character card: --- Michael Moron Filmmaker Str: 9 You?ve got the Bush administration by the short hairs this time! ?You?re on the scene, and you?ll soon have the footage that will bring down Republicans, gun manufacturers, corporations, that annoying Parker/Stone duo, and pretty much everything that makes America different from Europe, by exposing their complicity in the Zombietown Massacre. ?You think maybe you?ll call it ? Bowling for Zombietown. Earn as many points as you can for good footage, then escape alive. ?Here?s what you?re after: * Ambush Interview: ?1 pt for asking hard questions, 1 more point if the interviewee is at least nominally conservative, 2 more points if interview implicates Bush, Republicans, Gun Owners, or Corporate America. ?Leading questions are OK, as are bald assertions, so long as your target doesn?t have a good response. ?One interview per target. * Zombies attacking: ?2 pts. ?Good ?horror factor,? and you can blame it all on Bush. * Zombies not attacking: 1 pt. ?Will support your claim that zombies are a peaceful people that never attacked America. * Human putting up valiant, successful defense: ?3 pts. ?Requires one person to bring down at least two zombies in the turn while under your camera. ?You can later dub John Kerry onto the scene and say it?s Vietnam footage. --- I, of course, have plans to attend...

We ended Friday on a very good note. I am glad things ended on a good note. It is nice to do that, it does help to compensate for all of the other stuff. dafrca. _________________ "Every Man is a But Spark in the Darkness"               - Cities of Death, page 59 Come fight me, if you dare...... http://dd-janks.mybrute.com

Even better because I went to see anouther film got it wrong and saw something I was not expecting. I love films when I have no idea until I see it. I hate promos! Have not seen the American one yet.

Hi Primarch, --- Who came up with the idea? Basically, the group of guys that I regularly game with in Sacramento are a very twisted lot. Marcus is sort of the "Grand Poobah," but Vince, Mike, Dave and even me help out a lot. Most of the terrain belong to Vince, Mike, Dave and Marcus. I volunteered to rebase the cactus / cacti on 1" fender washers and to retexture there bases so that they will stand better. That's my contribution this year (for next year... the event is annual... usually the weekend before Halloween, my birthday! ). --- Original idea and looks like loads of fun!

It's really fun. Even better, Marcus cut his own soundtrack CD and has all kinds of cool sound effects to play throughout the game as well as music such as Thriller, Night of the Living Dead, disco, 80s "big-hair" music, The Beverly Hillbillies theme song (for the Redneck Zombie killers...) and much more.

---

Are there any set rules or home grown?

The rules are very simple and are home-brew. MArcus rewards creativity and half the locations on the board seem to be explosive (Gas station blowing up, chemical plant blowing up, etc.). It's a very Hollywood cliche horror movie production put on by real gamers.

Great stuff!

Thanks!

Shalom,
Maksim-Smelchak.
