Zombies! A Pen and paper RPG!

Well, text and... text.

So, here's the deal. I've been looking for a realistic (as in, no M4s lying about and no second chances after a bite) zombie game. I was badly depressed when I found that there WERE NONE!

So, here's the deal. I'm going to test-run a series of rules and equations for stats, hunger, bite chance, etc. on you guys with this PPRPG. You require no pen, no paper, just a willingness and the ability to check in with this forum every day or two.

Now, the details:

You gain skills by doing things related to them.

-STR: Gained by doing physical activity. Gives more stamina, more carry-weight, reduces recoil, and causes you to deal more damage with melee weapons and unarmed combat

-DEX: Gained by climbing, dancing, and doing other such activities that require coordination and dexterity. Gives more precision when using firearms, faster run-speed, better climbing ability, and better efficiency in most skills such as carpentry and gunsmithing (along with PER)

-PER: Gained by (What should I put here): Gives better accuracy with firearms, farther sighting of objects and people/zombies, and better situational awareness (you hear a crack behind you)

-END: Endurance is gained by doing physical activity, and generally bearing the stress of living in a zombie's world. Gives more stamina, and better mental endurance (insanity!)

The zombies:

The zombies of "Zombies!" are of the Solanum variety. That means they're slow, and nearly indestructible (headshots only. Decapitations mean the head is still a threat).

===

The setting:

Still working on this. I'm gonna MS paint a quick map in a bit. Just know that the world is generally in shambles, with the zombies in North America ALONE numbering in the hundreds of millions.

Characters and Rules:

Wow this is disorganized, isn't it?

Anyhoo:

Alright, rather than design my own custom city, I'll grab a map from google earth. So, everyone submit a city that we should be in for this game. I'll pick the best, and open a poll for them.

EDIT:

My submission.



Montevallo, Alabama (USA)

EDIT 2:
Should there be an infected character mechanic (like, you get to play as a zombie), or should I just stop working on that?

im sorry butt i have to say this-Washington Dc/ and Berlin for the zombie Nazi

Gah, keep it small. I don't wanna have to do more than 2-3 screencaps in google earth to make a comprehensive map.

Tacoma, Washington

dc- from white house to pentagon, Berlin pick a spot.

Edited OP to include Poll.
