I am basically asking for any ideas that you guys would conceive as fun in this type of setting. I plan on hosting it and have the system worked out as well as the "Infected" and the PC "Survivors." I will probably put it up on homebrew so it can be torn apart viciously.. but non the less feedback is always good.
In light of this. I am a new DM, and when I say new I mean we just got done w. Rokugan campaign and now I'm running one of my own for the first time..so I wanted it to be as close to Real life as possible and I like Zombie apocolypse type genres (as does our group).
The group will be heading from Central FL to Upstate NY (Essentially traveling along the whole East coast. I have set up a tier system (State by State) for big encounters and scenarios. But I am lacking as to my problem solving puzzle type stuff. IE: The bridge is out now you got to...<Insert clever answer>
My questions:
1) Name some possible real life scenarios that could happen in such an environment, that you would perceive as fun or challenging.
2) What would you consider the CR of the average human? (Assuming lv3 average). Also any Skill checks that are made for the average Joe, or a link to a scale or system for such things.
3) Do any of you have any advice as to how to emerge a player into a scary environment? Any music suggestion? Specific details or settings? (I already have a pretty good one were they have to go to a hospital were the Children ward is infected..Think Quarantine)
And any other general advice will help.
As far as player options go, like I said I already made them a pretty decent player class (Survivor). As far as feats go Im thinking PH and PH2? They seem to be the most tame. And as far as setting goes its Zombie Horror Survival (Flight as opposed to fight) and its been 3 months since the "outbreak"
*Apologize for the Wall of text, thanks in advance for any advice it is greatly appreciated.
