It's a classic zombie set up - place is stable until the protags arrive, something happens, zombies wipe it out, protags move on. Rinse and repeat.
I loved it. Nice single night of entertainment

As for diminishing bespoke decks, I present the Bite Deck in Zombie World. 12 card deck. 1 of them is the insta-kill Bite card. You only reshuffle when someone is bitten. It's brilliant.

Let's start with the obvious. Cards? Yes, absolutely. In the right mechanic they are great and have loads of variations to a single flop: value, number/face, suit, colour and then the addition of a Joker too. You can even add in poker hands, blackjack totals etc.

I was in NYC in the mid 2000s, and we went to McDs opp near MSG. It was morning and the sign behind the till said that if the staff (who had obviously worked all night) weren't smiling, you got your meal for free. I had to bodily drag my companion out as he smelled freebie and I saw IMMINENT death

The masterful use of Carpentry profession as a means to escaping a prison hulk has a warm place in my gaming heart.

You really don't. I've succumbed to the pressure and knuckled down to doing it. I think if I drifted off now, I'd be waking up next to Sean Bean's severed head!

I'm happy to report it was a chunky boy. I'm not quite THAT decrepit! (Not quite...)

It's not daft and the discussion has been interesting. I've just tired over the years of the predictable 'truism' of it all.
You keep posting Simon. If more people posted stuff that provokes some discussion, the better the place is. I should do it more!

With no slight on anyone, as I realise this is a personal ick, if I could remove 1 thing from gaming it's the pseudo-psychological BS perpetuated about the apparent effects of GM screens. With their full chest peeps shout about barriers and aversion and other shite based on vibes and nowt else!

I know, deep down, I could run a great Imperium Maledictum game too.
And that's before I really start thinking about it. I've got Argo-0, Cold City/Hot War and The Between on the KSr block too.

I'm pretty much pledged to running Star Wars Tachyon Squadron and B5-NBA at North Star, and Fight with Spirit at Revelation
I'm increasingly ready to run a full bore Dickensian London Urban Shadows 2e game.
I have a load of TOR2e stuff that deserves a full bells and whistles run out.

I need to run a serious play test of D&H2e. I've done a couple over the years but it needs another.
I want to have a bash at a full campaign of Spectaculars
I'm getting the yearning to re-explore the Silt Verses Carved from Brindle wood game because it's brilliant...

When I run Duty & Honour, it usually runs like this:
Neil - stares at players hoping and praying there isn't a Nap-nerd who will pick me up constantly on tiny bits of historical inaccuracy
Players - Who's Sharpe?
