Yeeeaaah, good luck with picking traits that don't exist.

The party is approached by an insane LARPer!
Run or shoot?

[mission0]

Shoot! Shoot!

*bang, bang, bang*

"Woo, that was a close ones partners?"

Turn 0


Welcome to the unimaginatively designed town center! Your sightlines are limited at the moment, and I didn't take a picture of the whole ASCIIdraw screen, so there's more.
Players are in green, doors are that boring tan/light brown color, windows are cyan/light blue, finally, those brown things are cars, yes they count as furniture.

No zombies yet, wouldn't want to sic them on you before you can adequately fight them off, but better get cracking, I'll be flooding them in soon enough.

Not much here of course. I'll figure things out if the party splits for whatever reason, but for now you guys are a handy dandy Urist McJeweler. New areas as you guys leave screens.

Finally, I discovered that ASCIIdraw does not provide a good shade of orange, so barricades at fair strength will now be yellow, strong(for non-furniture) will go brown as well.

"Ah, so this where the teleporter sent me. My cohorts, I do not know where they are.

Don't be afraid, be afraid, of the DOCTOR!"

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

Few clarifications if I may ask...

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

How does attacking work? Do we attack once per turn, or does it count as a full turn and you can't move? Or can we move and attack, ect?

Should I assume typical zombies have 10 HP? Also, will we know when we encounter a special zombie how much HP they have? Perhaps MP(movement points) also?

What makes a window different from a door, besides aesthetics?

To go with attacking, how does pushing furniture work into turns?

Through the windows, my friends! Surprise will be our element!(Go through window to the NE(Eastern one))

[USEC_OFFICER]

Explore the top right building.

How does attacking work? Do we attack once per turn, or does it count as a full turn and you can't move? Or can we move and attack, ect?

Ah, I failed to elaborate on that, I'll write into the rules...

Movement/action:
 Each turn a player can move their number of spaces and then attack/pick something up/other action, or perform an action first then move.

Should I assume typical zombies have 10 HP? Also, will we know when we encounter a special zombie how much HP they have? Perhaps MP(movement points) also?

You could say basics have 10 HP, for all intents and purposes that works. Special zombies though vary alot, and you will never know what they can do beyond observation of their actions, and how many bullets it takes to finally put them down. They are meant to be unpredictable.

What makes a window different from a door, besides aesthetics?

There pretty much is no difference. However I'd imagine crashing through a unbroken window would be rather loud...

To go with attacking, how does pushing furniture work into turns?

Moving furniture counts as an action.

[Orb]

Hm, alright.

Tell me if this is allowed.

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

If not....

Go through NE doorway(east side)

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?

Is there any way to earn more traits?

For Arsonist, what is the dice role for damage for fire? How many tiles can we light on fire at once? How far away? How long do they stay lit? What will cause you to set random furniture on fire? Is it completely random, or do you have to be a certain distance away? How long does it take for furniture to burn down...ect ect ect.

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?

How far is our LOS? Does a schizophrenic only fire when we are outside his view, then enter it?

Can limbs be specifically targetted?

Is there any accuracy system?

Is there a range to ranged weapons, such as a shotgun being 3 tile range perhaps?

Do zombies generally move slower than you, or faster? Or do we have to figure that out?

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

[SHAD0Wdump]

Allowed. If it wasn't it would be kinda strange. It is a window after all.

The only cases where you couldn't see through it is if it was barricaded to very or extremely strong.

[Rolan7]

Rotate that car to the north clockwise so its blocking the windows, or at least the doors.
If I can't move the car, search the southeast building.  It looks defensible.

[SHAD0Wdump]

Will not be getting a turn up until at least several hours, more likely not until tomorrow.

[mission0]

I'll enter the northeast building with the others.
