The topic is nuanced enough that you could tell a new zombie story each day. The catch is that gamers expect a campaign to last a \u003cem\u003ebit\u003c\/em\u003e longer than that. Which is where \u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eGURPS Zombies: Day One\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e comes in.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eDay One\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e sketches out eight zombie scenarios in broad strokes, looking at genre, backdrop, theme, scope, and power level – and of course zombie type. In each case, it recommends what parts of \u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eGURPS Zombies\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e are worth keeping and what's best discarded for a coherent story.

It certainly \u003cem\u003efeels\u003c\/em\u003e like an apocalypse, but the heroes must battle the hordes using swords and spells, not chainsaws and shotguns.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eFields of Fear\u003c\/em\u003e conceals dark doings in a town in the Antebellum South.
