Are there any systems for a Resident Evil-styled game? I find the problem with zombie games is that, well, the main opposition is zombies. It's like the Alien RPG, it's going to be a fucking Alien.Throwing weird monsters into the mix makes things more interesting.
>>98649505GURPS ZombiesThere's a fan-created book that straight up adapts the games too.If gurps is too crunchy for you, there's genesys, which also has a fan book about Resident Evil with some cool ideas.
>>98649505Someone made a super in-depth hack for All Flesh Must Be Eaten called Resident Evil: ReGenesis. Unfortunately it seems to be very difficult to source nowadays, but it's got practically everything up through at least RE4 or 5, maybe later.
>>98649505I'm afraid Resident Evil ttrpg would go poorly, besides killing zombies there's puzzles and inventory management, most players hate those things.
>>98649643Anyone willing to play a survival horror game is willing to do inventory management, knowing that you have limited ammo is a cornerstone of the genre.
>>98649505What does it matter if no one is willing to play these obscure homebrews
>>98649643What if you gave players a little grid and some paper cutouts to play around with?
>>98649638I found it, and getting this file is some real black magic stuff. This should not work, but here it be. Fix the slashes, put dots where the spaces are, and add a .pdf to the end. I downloaded this file from this link in 2023.https:\\i 4pcdn org\tg\1519439577509
>>98649738Okay, so it doesn't work. That's good, it shouldn't. But for some fucked up reason, I can still access it through the leddit link from a deleted account on solo_roleplaying.
>>98649751No wait, I'm just dumb. It absolutely does still work. The PDFs that were uploaded before they shut off the ability to do so are all still there. If you can find a direct link to them, they're available.
>>98649505Palladium put out Dead Reign for zombie apocalypse gameplay with a variety of zombie and human threats. As pretty much all Palladium games use the same system, porting in bio-weapons and cyborg monstrosities from the other games is relatively easy.
>>98649643Stop living in fear.
>>98649505I would hack Mausritter.
>>98649505>It's like the Alien RPG, it's going to be a fucking Alien.I've made an Alien campaign for my friends consisting of:- Alien- Predator- Beyond Horizon- The Thing- Virus (1999)- Screamers (1995)- Ubik- The Three Stigmata of Palmer EldritchAnd those fuckers preffered me to start Brindlewood Bay campaign for them. Sometimes I just can't.I've never played Outgunned but maybe try it out the same way, throwing into the mix different action movies with overarching plot about zombies and evil corporation.
>>98651225That does sound like you have not idea what you're doing and just keep mashing together things seen on the telly without rhyme or reason.If I got pitched amalgamation of 8 movies, I'd also prefer to play something else, even if all of those movies were good on their own.
>>98649505>>98649526If you want to play the latter games you can use GURPS: Monster Hunters and replace the supernatural parts with sci-fi. Leon is a perfect fit for the Commando template.
Deviant: The Renegades basically lets you play as a Resident Evil boss like Birkin or Nemesis, for what it's worth.
>>98651770Lol, it is not an amalgamation pitched to someone. It is references for different quests/sessions, obviously. I do it all the time. You are a weird guy.
>>98649738AFMBE Facebook group will have Ben's most recent edition, or I'll check back tomorrow and upload my copy to catbox if you can't find the newest.
>>98654548The facebook group looks to be private and I haven't logged into facebook for about a decade anyway.
>>98654698Yeah, I deleted mine a while back, but that's the place to go for Unisystem stuff.
>>98649505I've recently been thinking about running a small RE5 inspired campaign in SWADE. I was thinking about making it when an enemy is shaken the players can do a followup(or whatever they're called) that lets them auto hit melee attacks. Maybe get a raise too? Haven't worked out the balance yet, but I want the players to feel like chris/sheva running around shooting/punching zombies. I'm going with SWADE because it does pulpy adventures quite well, which should fit the tone of RE5
>>98649505https://farirpgs.itch.io/breathless-srdYou could try Breathless, the 'everything is Usage Dice' RPG.
