Shock! Horror! Yes, two games in four days! Tonight I made it down to the Whitley Bay 3D Gamers Christmas gathering where Karl and Andy put on an excellent little Zombie game. Good turn out with (I think) 16 players taking part and two umpires. Despite the numbers the game flowed pretty smoothly as the survivors tried to get two barrels, a scientist and fuel to a water filtration plant while fending off hordes of Zeds and the occasional werewolf and vampire. I had a female character armed with shotgun and chainsaw. The latter was very effective at close range but not with my dice! I came close to death several times! Not sure on the rules used but they were nice and simple, card driven for activating Zeds and Survivors, and didn’t get in the way! Lots of ‘special’ zombies turned up, and we never really felt like we were totally overwhelmed. A good balance…
I took a few pics but the light seemed to was the colour from the photos. I tried GIMP’ing a few but it didn’t really work. The terrain was nice, especially the weathered tanker. Thanks again to the guys for organising the game and Merry Christmas chaps! Hope to get down more in 2016!
Start of the game before things got messy….
One of the more interesting survivors….
A fast moving zombie thankfully not heading for me!
The arrival of the first werewolf. There ended up being over a dozen of these but thankfully we dealt with them…
The excellently weathered tanker.
Things were getting quite busy on the far side of the table.
A helpful Valkyrie who healed a few characters but wouldn’t be healing mine as I shot at her!
My chainsaw armed character (now out of fuel) battling three zombies!
Endgame as the objective was finally achieved.
Great game that ran very well,16 players and two refs!!!
Zeds always lead to good fun games!
Was it 16? It was a lot anyway. Duly amended.
And I forgot about all the mince pies and munchies people brought in.
Fortunately no vodka at this one!

Brilliant game, I really enjoyed it even though we were three deep around the table! Kudos to Karl and Andy for putting it on.
Funniest moment for me was when Darryl tried the door of the blue car and a family of five Zeds popped out!
