A couple of questions about unlimited ammo:
 Does it apply to grenades and medical supplies?
 Do I get my molotov back now?

I am at H9 I bash the one in front of me with my club, then stab the nearest zombie with my combat knife.

I will also feel somewhat sad about the fact that I no longer have a molotov with which to bring unfathomable carnage to the otherwise unstoppable horde...*

Oh, this is my glorious fortress, we will build it!

[Cheeetar]

I'mma shoot zombies. Which one am I?

[Cheddarius]

Ram gets $20 for being helpful

Cheeetar, you are Hasuin, the dude with a red cross and number 1 and a pistol.

EDIT: RAM, only ammunition, not grenades and such. I just don't want to have to add up all this bandoleer and clip stuff; but saying "I have 7 grenades" is a lot easier.

DA RULES

Spoiler: Character Creation (click to show/hide)

Name: Your character's name
Description: A description from which I can create a sprite
Money: $100
Equipment:
You start out with a free .22 pistol.
You can equip one item in either hand at any time. Even if zombies continually gnaw at your hand and it's ripped to shreds, you'll still be able to use it with no penalties. The rest of your things you carry; you can carry an infinite amount of stuff.

Spoiler: Actions (click to show/hide)

You have a base of 10 AP to use per turn. Moving is 1 AP; shooting your pistol is 4. You can find out more in the General Store.
Also, reloading is not necessary in this game. The only cost of shooting a weapon is AP; there are no bullets or clips that you must buy.

Spoiler: Items (click to show/hide)

Guns and their ilk have a few statistics:
AP cost: This is how much it costs to fire a bullet.
Damage: This is how much damage a bullet will do. It is a hidden statistic, mostly because it doesn't exist. I say "meh, 9mm does decent damage" and take a guess. But yeah, your $750 M1 Garand is probably going to deal a lot of damage.
Effective range: This is how far you can attack with a gun before it starts losing accuracy.
Also, dual-wielding pistols lets you shoot faster. Dual-wielding hunting rifles... all right. Yeah, I'll bend reality to let you dual-wield hunting rifles and shoot faster with no loss of accuracy.

Melee weapons are different. They can usually only hit one square away (cardinally), but they're more effective and more quick to use (it doesn't make sense, I know, but I have to balance the game). They should only be drawn in desperate circumstances.
Dual-wielding melee weapons is awesome and an excellent idea and everyone should do it.

There are some other items, such as scopes, traps, and bombs.

Things can be bought between rounds, in rounds if you have a Laptop.

Spoiler: Combat (click to show/hide)

Each round, zombies will come from the bottom and assault your fortress. Most zombies are simple: they will simply head for the closest defender and bite/claw schlim. About three good hits will take a defender out.

You can also use buildings to your advantage. You can purchase buildings between rounds: walls, fortifications, etc. You can shoot through fortifications, too. However, zombies will eventually rip your entrenched death-fortress down if you don't supplement it with combat.

At the end of the round, all the cash from zombies is totaled (there is a very wealthy zombie fetishist who enjoys seeing zombies killed or something, maybe they're making this into a TV show, I dunno) and pooled between players. "Extra" cash - scavenger or whatnot - is not pooled.

The status post is below; the shop is here.
