A bit of an in-joke between me and my brothers. Last Night on Earth (Zombie Apocalypse board game), personal rule: "I shall never bear arms that require reloading when faced against numerous zombies. The odds any gun I pick up will NOT have any ammunition whatsoever are way too common, EVEN INSIDE A GORRAM GUN SHOP!!!"
Yes, it did really happen. Pinned in a gun shop against at least 4 zombies, with 2 more closing in after me, with one of my characters, which is a sheriff's son, so he's good with guns (good strategy, right? Also considering I get a rescue throw by keeping the weapon after firing, or something odd like that). Anyway, I'm at the door using it as a barricade, 1 zombie down, with a an automatic free throw, I attempt a second shot, :gun runs out of ammo:. Zombies close in, my turn comes up, I spend a turn getting a new gun; my roll: another pistol. I fire :roll: out of ammo. repeat, repeat, "BRAINS!!!" "AUGH!" backs up against wall. I luck out with one more gun that has a bullet in it. A, 1, bullet. And the ZM being the shmuck they were just completely surrounded me just to see me pathetically rearm myself after the 7th empty gun is pulled. Final move: *click*... Just kill me already, okay? At least let me die with some dignity.
Yeah, it didn't help that they allowed me a free round to see if I could actually make it out of there. Nope. Probably the funniest game of LNOE my brother has ever played.
Comment about the gun shop: The ONE time the gun shop owner is actually competent enough to stick to the law in this rotten town... I think horror movie campaigns were genre savvy enough about my genre savviness.
