Believe it or not, I’m still alive.
I’ve been busy over the past year writing a RPG for Troll Lord Games
(Victorious) along with five supplement books. I haven’t given up on zombies
though, and I do intend on returning with Connor and Chance to continue the
blog game in a month or so.
I’ve been recently reading some zombie books and fic to get
back “in the mood” as it were. During this recharge of mindset, something
unusual occurred to me.
How often in zombie stories do the main characters have to
deal with simple supply problems? All too often its like the original Dawn of
the Dead movie after the mall was secured. There’s some chaos with the
outbreak, but all too quickly both survivors and zombies are gone and its “one
stop shopping” as Roger’s comment put it. Food, water, arms, even reading
material is sitting in locked stores, unmoved and available to anyone willing
to break in. Does this sound plausible?
So, if anyone is still out there checking this blog…. ;)
How realistic is this to you? In my opinion, most of the
‘obvious’ places such as grocery stores, Wal-Marts, gun shops, etc. should be
hit at the first. Oh, you can go house to house and that’s very plausible IMO,
but unless you’re extremely lucky it seems to me that it’s not going to be a
free shopping trip. Those houses will have zombies in them, or rarely even
paranoid survivors who might shoot before asking little things like “Why are
you breaking into my house? “
Opinions?
