Play for FUN!!!
New game starting as soon as we have enough players. Please sign up in the replies section below.

If you are just seeing this for the first time and would like to play, it would probably help to look at the way the previous games went in order to get a feel for how things work.

This is sort of a board game and in its current rendition can take up to 12 players at a time. It will require daily participation. The first 12 players to sign up get to participate. If there are less than 12 players signed up after 24 hours of this post going up, it will either begin with those players or be postponed if less than 3 sign up.

Rules

Each player will have 1 action per turn. An action is a move of 1 space or an offensive action (fighting). On the first day ONLY they get 3 actions to allow them to spread out.
After all players have completed their action(s), the zombies will take their turn. Zombies will attack when in a player's square.

Zombies get 1 action per turn (except for Runners who can move 2 spaces per turn) and will begin to move after killing the players in its space. All zombies will inflict 1 damage to players if they make a successful hit and can only fight if they are in the same square as a player. The movements of non-player zombies will be towards noises made by live players, towards live players they can see, and by dice rolls where there are multiple options.

• If a player is in the same square as a zombie, they MUST engage in combat and cannot run away.
• Players sharing a space (after the initial peace-time) MUST engage in melee unless there is a zombie present, in which case they may both attack the zombie.
• Runners and walkers can be killed with a single damage point.
• The hulk requires 2 damage points to kill it.

Players take 3 damage before they die. After being killed, they will re-spawn (as many times as they are killed) at the player starting square as a Walker and their player number will be red to indicate they are a zombie. As a zombie, they take on all characteristics of a Walker (inflict 1 damage and are killed with 1 damage) and can begin moving as soon as they re-spawn at the start point (the following day). Zombie players can no longer claim the prize, however they can move through dark areas freely!

Please pay attention to the moves that have transpired before you, so that your choices are based upon facts as they are and not as they were before (the people that played before you, just altered the situation).

Weapons

• baseball bats do 1 damage and all players will be issued one.
• Axe does 2 damage and can be found inside treasure chests. Smash open (optional) a chest to get the axe with a roll of 4 to 6. If you find a chest guarded by a skeleton then you must kill the skeleton but smashing open the chest is optional. The skeleton requires just 1 hit point to kill.
• As dungeon master, I (or @rollthedice) will roll dice to see if attacks are successful or not. A roll of 1 to 3 is a miss. A roll of 4 to 6 is a hit.

Spawning
Each time a player moves into an un-charted space (blacked out), new zombies spawn based on dice rolls.
6 spawns a Hulk, 5 spawns a runner, 4 spawns a walker and 3, 2 or 1 spawns nothing.

Player actions
Each player will announce their intended actions in the replies to each daily post.
Tell me your player number and what you intend to do. You may either MOVE (N,S,E or W), STAY or ATTACK.

For example: Player 3; Move North. (If entering an uncharted area, @rollthedice to see what is in there.)
Alternatively: Player 3; Attack player 2. (@rollthedice to see if the attack was successful or not.)
In both cases, player 3 made 1 action and their turn is over.

Players MAY NOT attack another player for the first 2 days of play (3+1=4 actions)!

I will update the board with new player positions and zombie positions for the next day's play.

The object of the game is to be the FIRST to reach the objective (labelled with an X) and claim victory and bragging rights.
