Not all roleplaying adventuring parties are fantasy based. We ran a short-live (no pun intended) but incredibly fun Zombpocalypse game using the d20 Modern rules some time ago.Our GM, Rucht, threw some interesting curve-balls in on us and turned what we thought was a run-of-the-mill zombie romp into something a bit more creative.
I believe we all ended up on a boat, marooned at sea, unaware that the zombies were approaching us underwater. Like I said, lots of fun, and any game where the GM has you make a back-up character at the same time as your regular character you know things are going to be rough!
My first character, a thuggish, street-wise hooligan is on the left here. He was eaten by zombies fairly quickly. In the middle we have the local preacher, armed with a buzz saw and revolver, he was a zombie-whacking machine. Speaking of whacking, on the right was a local professional baseball player armed with his bat. He could also throw baseballs with deadly accuracy. A rag-tag bunch of survivors indeed.
Kenny Powers?
ReplyDeleteEastbound and Down.
ReplyDeleteThat baseball player's hair reminds me of the 1993 Phillies and their squad of mullets and facial hair. Nice!
ReplyDeleteMy hombre T-Bone needs to chime in with that ball players PC name (since it was his). You guys hit the nail on the head, he pretty much was Kenny Powers...just a few years before the show came out.
ReplyDeletevery cool, always loved lego
ReplyDeleteTony Nolesco was the ball player. I was trying to get close to Conseco without actually using the name. It turns out, there actually is a Nolesco playing somewhere.
ReplyDeleteI love Lego Thursdays!
ReplyDelete@Brummie: They're waiting for you at your local store, calling out to you, "Brummie, buy us..."
ReplyDelete@Oz: That was it, the way you played him was similar to the show Eastbound and Down they were talking about, youtube some clips of it and you'll see.
@Spacejacker: Good! That makes me happy to hear, there's plenty more to come!
