Being a huge Zombie Movie/Games fan, im going to start my own Zombie RTD. Most zombie RTD's you play as the Survivors, but that gets a bit boring after the X amount of those kind of Rtd's. So in this one you play as the zombie, shambling in hordes, hunting down humans, and most importantly eating
BRAINS! Also bear with me since this is my first RTD.
I will accept 6 players to start.
Background
The Year is 2014, a years after the events that led up to the end of the world where humans constantly live in fear...
It all started when a mysterious corporation called Ahnkecorp moved its headquarters into Borewood in 2010. No one knew much about them, or even heard of them but they provided good paying jobs to the large amount of unemployed in the area. Most people began to trust them, that was until a year later.
Around the start of 2011 the corporation claimed that Eco-Terrorists breached the security and destroyed a large amount of research equipment and valuable test data. Most people believed them, that was until people around the area starting getting sick, coughing, vomiting, and an extremely high fever.
It took about a week for the first death from the disease to be reported, Ahnkecorp denied any involvement. As the death toll rose the military surrounded the area and quarantined it. Shortly after a rumor was spread around that the dead were rising from their graves attacking the living. Most people dismissed this until hordes of the undead started roaming the streets craving for human flesh...
