IoM Actual Play: …And a Little Child Shall Eat Them (FtC5)

Fear The Con – Day One (Paul’s Version)

Me before my very first RPG experience...photo by Andrew Webb.

Day 1 of Fear the Con started with our little group heading to Denny’s for some pre-con grub, the entire time me hiding my secret worry about my first gaming session.  Getting to the con early, we hung out while waiting for fellow Funnybooks host Aron Head to set my first game of the day….

Ship-Wrecked on Monster Island (spoiler warning)

Based on the Day After Ragnarok setting for the Savage Worlds system, Aron’s game involved a crew of Marines (and a Navy guy) who are ship-wrecked on a mysterious Japanese island during WWII.  My character, Giaccomo “Spaghetti” Lighetti was, essentially, the medic of the group.  As we walk ashore of the strange island, we find ourselves immediately under fire from Japanese soldiers, flanking a bunker as Professor Higgins (played by buddy James) runs for the tree cover.

Your Morning Head: Fear the Con 2 – 1st Day Recap, pt 3

"Okay... we could get eaten here... or here... or here... or... oh wait! Here!"

In Friday’s third and final slot, I ran the sequel to the game I ran last year: “…And a Little Child Shall Eat Them.” It’s a zombie setting in which the zombie apocalypse breaks out first amongst the worlds children rendering them fierce predators with supernatural strength.  Imagine, a toddler with the strength to tear a car door from its hinges.  Worse, that toddler is hungry… and strained peas ain’t gonna do the trick.  We call this type of zombie a Growler.

Their bite is poisonous.  Surviving an encounter with a Growler, but bearing a bite renders the survivor a shambling horror all its own.  These are the more traditional, shuffling zombies that we all know and love.  We call them Moaners.

Friday night’s game took place one year after the events of last year’s game.  The survivors have been holed up in a bunker some 30 miles away from the sleepy town of Calhoun, where all this began for them.  Resources are tight.  In fact, food, water, medical supplies, ammunition, etc. – all are scarce commodities.  In their “safe hide-a-way” the players learn they are matter of weeks from exhausting the last of their food.

Civilzation has crumbled.  No one’s coming to the rescue. Read the rest of this entry »
