Zombie Massacre Pictures

The Zombie Massacre was a lot of fun - easily my favorite and best received game so far.

After a quick false start and reset, the first two zombies performed admirably! Here's their first victim:



Did Mr. Labcoat just throw her to the zombies so he could get away? Yes, yes he did.


Shortly after, one brave human decided to survey the scene - confident with his weapon. And, oh look! It's the infamous Kyle Orland of Crispy Gamer fame!



Yep, he died like a punk.


After the first few rounds, the survivors' numbers were dwindling! Only one man left to repopulate the species . . . but what a lucky guy!



In case you were wondering, the Left4Dead survivor closet trick worked here too.



Numbers continued to drop though, and a former ally soon turned fiend!



As their numbers swelled, the zombies grew more creative . . . with a Brains Refrain[TM]! [Note: need sound for this one]




It didn't take much longer till there was only one survivor to face the impending hordes.



She fought valiantly, all the way to her last bullet.



And although she eventually fell, we still crowned her Queen of the Zombies!



And so ended the 2009 Zombie Massacre, with a great time had by all!

How to Host a . . . Zombie Massacre! [Feedback]

Did you run the game? Did you like it? Have suggestions? Leave feedback in the comments here!

A few notes from my own running:
  • There needs to be a more obvious start to the game - something a little more choreographed making it clear that the humans should start running.
  • The "narrator" needs to release the zombies after each round ends to ensure humans get a head start
  • To prevent locked door stalemates: no doors can be locked, but zombies can't open doors. After 5 good "bangs," the narrator can open the door for them (simulating a break-in).
  • A few weapons are fine even in round 1
  • The protectee concept didn't work too well, though some people like the target concept
  • This game was all kinds of fun. Pics and video to follow shortly.
