The Dead Reign rulebook covers "ordinary people" on pages 85-89 If you need a detailed NPC you should start on page 160 with Quick roll Characters and pick a O.C.C. The Dead Reign Sourcebooks are a good source for addirional material, example Sourcebook 1 Civilization Gone includes bandit...

Did anyone ever write up a stats for NPCs? Even a quick reference?

Epically

The rules treat the head as totally separate from the rest of the body from a HP perspective, since the source of the zombieness rests in the brains and as long as the brains remains undamaged, the monster will keep rising. So the brains have the same amount of HP as the main body. And damage to ma...

Epically

On page 37 of the core rule book, it states, "If the damage inflicted depletes the SDC of the head, the skull is fractured and the brain is Vulnerable to additional attack. As before, only a natural D20 roll of 17-20 strikes. If an attack inflicts damage equivalent to the zombie's full hit poin...

Has anybody used a Zombie Researcher in their game? Have you made any homebrew rules for the OCC in regards to giving bonuses after researching for example?

Still need some help with running VTT on Roll20.

What's your name in the group?

Epically

So I've been using Roll20 for the last almost two years since the pandemic. Honestly it's improved our gaming session, but the problem is I run a DnD game which Roll20 supports. I really want to run another Dead Reign campaign but I can only do it in VTT. Is there anything that supports the rule sys...

Epically

I've found that my players don't really find zombies interesting. A died out trope really. But what they love is what happened to humanity and the world the zombies created. People are much, much worse than zombies and I find that's easier to write than interesting zombie encounters. One campaign I ...

Epically

It doesn't matter if you have -100 to strike. A natural 20 will always hit/succeed, just like a natural 1 will always miss/fail.

In my first campaign, it was a disgruntled government employee who let loose the virus. In my second campaign, it's a cross between BTS and DR, Vampires created the virus and unleashed it as a means of gaining control of the remaining population and putting people into "farms". The Vampire...

Although it's too late now, I would have suggested getting a copy of GM's guide and running an adventure from there, or at least take inspiration.

They are a gestalt. They also grow in power.

By Your Powers Combined...... lol As for the 4 Elemental power toons, seems legit. The 5th one (life) seems.. I dunno. I'm sure that she could have been a mega- with a host of life/healing/bio related powers..and then given her an insanity (fear if being alone?). Making her connected to "all l...

It's going to be one of many. Think a "there can only be one" scenario. I also have other plans of alien interaction who don't want terraforming.

Epically

So I'm starting up a solo campaign with a friend, this will be the third one I've run through with him (The other two had awesome endings), and just wanted to hear what you guys think of the premise. The game world is set about 30 years in the future, with the main event of within a few weeks the fi...

Epically

Depends on how well you're roleplaying. If you sound convincing, and as you said, crazy, then yeah. As a GM I would have the NPCs back off. Depends on the scenario as well, which you haven't described. Push comes to shove, roll a MA check.

Epically

Few things: When during the apocalypse is your campaign set? At the start? Six months in? Three years in? Need to know when so I can give tips. You mentioned your players "will befriend a half-living". What makes you so sure they will? Don't plan for things to happen the way you want them ...

Hey guys.

I'm a veteran GM, but new to BTS.

I'm about to run a game for a few people who have never played it, and I have never hosted. Do any of you have any recommendations to how to start?

Epically

I admit, it sounds like a neat "hook". I certainly don't have that kind of flair for the dramatic. But what is the actual "game idea"? I have run a similar type of scenario, where the players were playing themselves as PCs. Everyone designed "themselves" as OCCs, and t...

Epically

So I had a cool idea for a game. At least, I think it's cool..... I'm currently running a game of D&D. My plan is to invite all the regular players around and start playing our D&D session. About half hour into into it, I'm going to fake banging on the door. I'll get up and answer it, only t...

A so-called Pretty Zombie is one who had a high P.B. stat when living, that was killed and turned with minimal damage to the body; and as long as they stay fed with PPE from their victims, they can maintain that high P.B. indefinitely. The books also imply that Pretty Zombies are a subset of the so...

Hey guys, been a LONG time since I posted here as I got stuck on the d&d train for a while, but looking to get back into the swign of things. Quick question to me fellow GMs out there: What do you do to keep your DR games fresh and exciting? One problem I've had in the past is the overall lack o...

Spider hulk, spider hulk, does whatever a spider hulk does.

I'd say supernatural, not magical.

However, in saying so, there is magic, mutations (good and bad) and psionics in my game.

Epically

Just remember; you're the GM! Rules are mere guidelines. If you don't think something is right, just change it. In one of my old games I had a house rule where bullets did DMG direct to HP. So, using your example, it may not have done more DMG, but direct to HP will hurt someone a lot more in the lo...

Hey guys, long time no post. I'm starting yet another campaign this weekend and I needed some help with some ideas. So the setting is going to be a funky, random, "hollywood" nothing seems ridiculous setting. What I mean by that is it's not hard to blow something up, things do more/less da...

Epically

Hey guys. I'm a little flat on an idea at the moment. Mini-story so far: My solo player (based in the DC Universe) encountered a trickster who swapped everyone hero/criminal in the world's alignment except for his own. Basically because of this, every criminal was let free and heroes started getting...

Most interesting in mine ay. Well, one of my players is a porn star/stripper (male) with the name of Tyson "Thad Thunder" Knight. Had a dude with the worst luck who fell off 4 rooves in a space on 30 minutes. Best though was the shortest lived charactor of all our campaigns. 10 minutes. In...

There's actually a power called indestructible bones, which covers what you're looking for. It's a minor power in PU1 or PU3.

Watch a movie called, "Fido" with Carrie Fisher and Billy Connerly. It should explain everything for this thread.

That's what they've pretty much been doing? Sewer lines and building jumping.

Hey mate. Welcome to the Reign! In regards to maps, you don't have to be exact either. If there's a piece of story you want to incorporate, just add it into the map. For instance, in one of my games I had a nuclear power plant. Australia doesn't even have them. Well, as far as I'm aware anyway. Just...

I ended up going with Manhatten Island. I've been there before, and I know the area. I figured I didn't need that big of an area, when NYC has a population of 8 million, not to mention visiters, homeless and other, raising it to 12 million thereabouts. Virtually impossible to go just a couple of blo...

Hey fellas. I'm starting up a new campaign for a new player. It's going to be based in the center of an American city, at the start of the outbreak, with the main goal of escaping the city. The catch; millions of zombies! Anyway, my question is what is the largest city in America? By largest, not in...

Any update to when it's going to be released?

I don't remember anything about picking powers with eugenics? I thought it was all it's own little section with things like, see *power* in book *x*. I don't remember picking minors.

Yes, there is a power that does that, but it doesn't work against eugenics.

I'll have to have a look at the books when I get home from work. I don't remember seeing you can only have one or the other. Where does it say that?

He has supernatural strength, all visions, telemechanics, telekinesis, mind block, living anatomy, natural armour rating of 12, super regeneration, and a combination of other things I can't remember which basically allows him to run at about mach 2.

I don't have the sheet with me, he carries it. He's quite a cunning player, as well as his character being super smart.

No no, I take constructive criticism well. I appreciate and thank everyone for their ideas. I was just explaining how some of the ideas have been covered, so it wouldn't work.
