[PBEM News] All Flesh Must be Eaten:: Detour From: nexus@qx-dot-net.no-spam.invalid (nexus) Date: Thu, 24 May 2007 18:34:18 +0000 For the last six hours you�ve been sitting in a cracked and uncomfortable Naugahyde seat with a spring sticking out of it. If you shift just exactly right it doesn�t poke you in the ass, but if you do that then you end up leaning on the funny-looking guy whose breath smells like garlic and rotten teeth and whose hair smells like a gas station restroom. Someone across the aisle keeps farting. Three seats ahead of you some kid is playing rap music REALLY LOUD and two seats behind you is a 15 year old girl with a baby who hasn�t stopped crying for the last 83 miles, probably because the stench of diesel is overpowering and most of the windows are stuck shut. It�s a warm evening, which makes the fact that you�re sharing your space with a bunch of sweating, stinking, complaining strangers all that more of a bitch. And to top it off, there had been some kind of accident on the freeway about thirty miles back and you were diverted onto some county two-lane with more pothole than road, which wouldn�t have been so bad except for the fact that the bus had shocks that were original equipment in 1954 and you�re feeling the jolt of every damned pebble shooting right up your spine, slamming vertebra into vertebra and making agonizing pains shoot down your right leg. You�d complain to the driver, but the jailhouse tattoo on his right arm and the mean glint in his eyes makes you think that might not be the world�s best idea. Yes, this truly is the bus ride from Hell. And right about now, things are going to get REALLY bad. The name of the game is �Detour,� and it�s a survival horror game featuring lots and lots of zombies. We�ll be using All Flesh Must Be Eaten � Revised Edition rules. All characters will be Norms (no Survivors) who are, for whatever reason, taking a ride on a cut-rate bus that gets detoured through the wilds of eastern Kentucky right before all Hell breaks loose. The game is about dealing with and surviving a zombie outbreak. Since you�ll be playing average people, you can�t expect to have much success standing and fighting � this isn�t that kind of survival game. Instead, you�ll need to use your wits just to stay alive � oh yeah, and it wouldn�t hurt to be fleeter of foot than the slowest person on the bus either. Characters should be submitted to Kimble Foster at nexus-k@comcast.net. I�m looking for up to 8 characters, and submissions will be accepted through June 9th. Be there or be zombie chow. -- posted from PBEM News - PBEM listings and announcements Reply to this post at http://www.pbemnews.org Up
