So, I've been looking through the zombie appoc threads and monster defence thread, and I wanted to  do a bit of cross-over and new things. My proposed idea, therefore, is a Lego zombie apocolypse. I'd make several different landform layouts, each with specified vehicles and such, and the goal would be to colonize and survive there-in, with a continuity between scenarios (I.E. conquer and farm the grassland - other maps you now have more initial food and gain more food due to the knowledge and techniques you gained). There would be a DF-like skill and building system.

Now that I have you drooling, cons time. I'm not going to be too stable a GM sometimes if school gets hectic. Due to the meatspace nature, it's going to be harder to update for me due to having to build and photograph everything. The community is going to have to help me fine-tune alot of the rules. Nothing is going to be the color it should because it isn't Lego if it isn't a vomit/rainbow monstrosity upon the eyes.

So, Interest, or No?

Not using Lego Digital Designer I take it?

I mean with LDD, you would have infinite and more pieces to work with, and you won't have to worry about losing pieces either, or accidentally breaking it apart or something.

Plus, it can break physics where possible.

And lastly, it's a cheaper alternative. Then again, you can keep a RL one to use for reference.

I just don't like how LDD snaps you to a grid no matter what. You can't just dangle a piece off of something, it has to be connected. Plus, I already have infinite legos.

Blockland's alpha? (Basically the TGE with BRICKS)

I haven't played it in years, but it might be what you are looking for, though you can't manipulate the players themselves...


Regardless, looks interesting.

If you're using real Legos, just beware of the "Spend an hour searching for a piece you need, and when you finally find it realize you lost the piece it went to" thing.  It's the number one cause of suicide in children under 10.

[sonerohi]

Haha, I prevented that. I've got five, big as hell tubs of Legos, and they are all completely filled up and weigh some 10lbs. each. I went through all of them over the summer and sorted the normal blocks by size, then color. So all my brown 2x2's are separated from the brown 2x4's and the gray 2x2's. Hundreds of ziploc baggies were used in this task, but it was well worth it.

[Strife26]

I applaud your effort.

1. you're either: A. Mad, B. Vampire, C. Autistic, D. Someone with way too much time.
2. Brown lego does not exist.
3. It's called Lego, not Legos.

[Helmaroc]

2. Brown lego does not exist.

1.  You're being pedantic.
2.  Stop that.
3.  For real.

[sonerohi]

Legos is most assuredly the plural. You don't say "I dropped all the Lego". For real, as Cthulu said.

[Kashyyk]

I say Lego like I say Sheep.

But anyway, I like the idea.

[Archangel]

I also like the idea.

[RAM]

I heartily agree with the notion of having a game with zombies, let the zombies rain, let them rain!
