Turn 1

Spoiler: sector map (click to show/hide)

Richtofen goes off towards the door at the southern street with furniture and opens it.

You get there with ease due to your speed, but some dork decided to draw this car pretty much flush with the door.
Doors and windows cannot be moved through unless unobstructed. The positioning of furniture directly across counts as obstruction, even if the diagonal is free.

Frustrated, you notice movement in the corner of your vision, when you look down the street you notice a zombie around the corner behind another car, luckily it seems to be unaware of your presence. You better hope it stays oblivious...

Explore the top right building.

You move on towards it, Jason beats you to the window however.

Peer through the NE window(east side) and see if there are any zombies in there. If not, enter through the door next to it, otherwise wait at the window

Inside you see a rather small lobby or foyer. Not much in there besides a chair.

Rotate that car to the north clockwise so its blocking the windows, or at least the doors.

You move the car into position, looks alot less like a car from the side doesn't it?

I'll enter the northeast building with the others.

You would, if you were faster. You get closer anyway.

Gunther, Jason, and McGraw see that the street curves down further, and there appears to be an alleyway.

Not too incredibly productive of a turn, alot of people were simply too far away from any indoors areas. And the good Doctor got trounced by a car. Next turn I expect more interesting things to happen.

[Phantom]

"One of my creations are here, ja? Well, I CAN SMELL MY OWN BLOOD! FEAR ME!"

Richtofen flails through the door on the other side of the street.

[Rolan7]

Oh whoops.  Sorry about the car.
"I've seized things, you people wouldn't believe."

Head southwest till I can see through the window into the northwest building, look for loot.

Spoiler: Yet a few more clarifications... (click to show/hide)

I assume zombies can stack on eachother, ie occupy the same tile? Or else how could they break extremely strong barricades? Or does "clump" mean something else?
 Actually, zombies cannot stack on a tile, a 'clump' is a mass of zombies in a tight group adjacent to each other, if they are together with no noticeable gaps, they can count together at damaging barricades.

Is there any way to earn more traits?
 No.

For Arsonist, what is the dice role for damage for fire?
 Arsonist fire does a simple 1d6*10 damage, it does not cause combustion(although I might use visual effects)
How many tiles can we light on fire at once?
 How many tiles will go up in flames is up to my discretion, I'll try to be fair.
How far away?
 After spreading the fuel around, you can ignite the puddle from the edge, one tile away. Don't worry, I'll make sure you don't burn.
How long do they stay lit?
 How long is again at my discretion, though I'd say roughly 5 turns unless something new is introduced to the fire. Very likely to be inconsistent though.
What will cause you to set random furniture on fire? Is it completely random, or do you have to be a certain distance away?
 Adjacency will trigger a roll, 1/2 chance like most things.
How long does it take for furniture to burn down?
 The fire will damage the furniture a strength level per turn, it will stay on fire for a while later as well.

Whats the point of "swinging" melee weapons through furniture if the zombies will be 2 tiles away? I mean unless you have the  long armed trait, is it really that useful unless you have a gun?
 That clarification was mostly for boarded up areas, but I now realize that even then the player will always be two tiles away. This blundered rule however will still be useful for the private maptool games I plan to run.

How far is our LOS?
 Not really defined, I'm mostly adding new sections to the map as I go, but while inside rooms it will be the entire room at once(unless I decide to make a huge ass room like a hangar or something).

Does a schizophrenic only fire when we are outside his view, then enter it?
 Yes.

Can limbs be specifically targetted?
 No, limbs may be hit at random... I probably should have specified that. I'll add that any source of damage has a 1/6 chance of also damaging a limb.

Is there any accuracy system?
 Not in particular really, a couple firearms have modifiers that makes things harder from far away, maybe a melee weapon too. It's mostly a chance of missing.

Is there a range to ranged weapons, such as a shotgun being 3 tile range perhaps?
 Yes. You'll have to get the weapons first to see that precise characteristics though.

Do zombies generally move slower than you, or faster? Or do we have to figure that out?
 I'm going to have them at 1 tile per turn, yes, they are of the shambler variety. If that turns out not hard enough I'll either add more zombies, or make them move two spaces. Not certain.

Feel free not to answer all of these questions, just seems like better to ask now than later.

Almost missed it, answers are in bold.

[USEC_OFFICER]

Enter through the door in the top-right corner.

[Orb]

Would we have to scavenge to find any items in the "explored" room? Or do you randomly get item(s) upon entrance?

Peer through window directly south

You would have seen an item if the roll was successful. Unfortunately it wasn't.
 When you do find an item(s), you'll know where it is, but not what it is until you pick it up due to limitations.

[mission0]

Continue towards door I was heading to before and enter it. Then search for weapons if there are no zombies inside.

Turn 2

Spoiler: sector map (click to show/hide)

Richtofen flails through the door on the other side of the street.

And so he does. Inside he finds a couch, a pair of tables and... OOH ITEM.

Head southwest till I can see through the window into the northwest building, look for loot.

You look through the window and see what appears to be a nice sized, and proper, lobby. Complete with large desk, waiting seats, and even a pair of plants. You also spot an item laying roughly in the center of the room.
 At the end of the street you also notice a couple of alleyways and a fence.

Enter through the door in the top-right corner.

Continue towards door I was heading to before and enter it. Then search for weapons if there are no zombies inside.

Nothing new inside. And nothing new is discovered by McGraw after he squeezes past Gunther.

Peer through window directly south

You look through the window and discover a mannequin staring you back. The room is particularly small, probably a display area.

[USEC_OFFICER]

Slap McGraw, saying that this is my building. Head through door at top.

[Phantom]

"Did the voices tell them to leave this here?"
Richtofen takes the item, and bursts through the window down a room.

[mission0]

I'll enter the unexplored room to my south then and look for something useful.

"How dare you good sir, I think you are a Zombie... just wait till I find a nail gun."

[Hugehead]

Reserving a spot on the wait list, not making a character yet since you might need certain types of guys when some die.

[Rolan7]

An item?  I love items!  I MUST POSSESS IT
"Haha, suckers crowding in that other building.  More loot for me!"

Acquire the item!
