Looking for a system...

[Kralin Thornberry]

Saw Zombieland last night, and was thinking about doing some "light hearted" Zombie-pocalypse type one shots (especially on Halloween!).

Can someone suggest a good system to use?

Thought WoD, but wasn't sure that would have the mood...maybe Demon Hunters? All Flesh Must Be Eaten? It Came From the Late, Late Show?

Help!?!

Paranoia. Just scrub out the setting material, but keep much of the mechanics and flavor.

 

[Wombat]

Umbran may well have the right of this one

Barring that, yeah, I'd go with It Came From The Late, Late, Late Show.

Demon Hunters would be ideal. Supernatural would also work, and it has zombies in it! I ran a Supernatural event yesterday at Madison Games Day II with the GhostFacers as the hunters. I think GhostFacers vs. Zombies would be tons of fun.

Cheers,
Cam

That was going to be my suggestion. Although I like the Paranoia idea, especially if you're trying to encourage some PVP action.

Risus could also work well if you want to go rules-lite. And it's free.
