Hi Necromancer,

welcome to the board. There's not a lot of traffic here as the board was created more as an announcement area for new campaigns than as a social meeting place.

I have played a couple of different games online (D&D and AFMBE) using OpenRPG which worked out really well. I've never played games over message boards before.

I checked out the site you linked to. It looks pretty cool.

HI, I'm starting an online game using the Zombies!!! mini RPG. I'm running it with a program called Vassal which is designed with board games in mind. I hightly suggest you use Vassal as well.

Wicked! That is very cool. I had a look at the vassal web site (http://www.vassalengine.org) and it looks like it could be heaps of fun. I hope the game works out for you.

It's working out so far but one guy's decimating hordes of undead with well placed Molitov cocktail tosses. I was wondering how I'm supposed to deal out the damage from blast radius weapons over a group of people.

with blast radius weapons... do they do same damage to all targets? or do they do different damages? do you roll once add that value to everyone? roll damage indavidualy for each target, roll once for every target? or roll once for damage and split it up evenly... or kill one guy and add remainder to the next, or add each die roll to a different guy, overflowing extra damage onto other characters in the blast?

I have one more question. When using two pistols at once, do you make one attack roll? or two?

For the sake of speed I roll the damage once and apply it to all NPCs. If damage was 8 then each NPC would receive 8 points damage (ie not split up). I roll individually for PCs though.

Two attack rolls.

Hi There,
I have just bought Zombies!!! and have had a few games and loved it.
Then I came across this website and being a fan of RPG and Zombies, I was very excited. I have read the players manual and the campaign settings that are on offer and I plan to run the SOS scenario in a week or two but I just had a question.
When adding Zombies is says zombies are added to the board at the entrances on the tiles at H4, I2 and I3 at a rate of 1D4 (1-3 PCs) or 1D6 (4-6 PCs).
Does this mean?

I make a roll for each tile
I roll once and place that many on each of the Tiles (so if I rolled a 2 they all get 2 zombies )
I role once and divide that number up onto each of the tiles ( I role 5 the two tiles get 2 and one tile gets 1, or something like that)

Any guidance will be much appreciated, also if anyone has played any other campaign using this rule set, Id love to hear about them as I am looking for a few Ideas.

Cheers
