GURPS Zombies
.
To keep things as simple as possible for those completely confused by rules they refuse to read I'm attempting an exercise in futility by forcing the players to make their own GURPS character.
.
First pick one of the six templates or roll 1d6.
The first three are ex-military
1 Monster, 2 Hunter, 3 Doomed
the last three are civilians of various sorts
4 Redneck, 5 Lawman, 6 Chef
If it's a 100 point game pick your Disadvantages and Quirks and you're done.
If it's 150 pick a Lens. If it's 200 pick two Lenses. If it's 250 points you get all three Lenses.
.
Monster (100 point template)
You were a predator before you went into the military, now you are a fucking monster. Your prey are those you deem a threat to society, anyone who reminds you of childhood trauma, or just whomever catches your eye.
