In this post I mentioned some changes I was making to the rules involving Infection, Crazy-Go-Psycho rules, and a few other things.

Yesterday afternoon I met with Jake, Nathan, and Tyler at Empire Games, down on SE Foster.

After a good deal of in-house testing and rules clarifications, I have the external Playtest Rules draft uploaded and ready to go. If anyone has a group that is open for a session or two of some quick pick-up zombie-survival gaming, please download this, give it a read, and let me know what you think. Included in the document is a sheet with a list of a handful of specific questions I have regarding the game play, and I’d greatly appreciate it if any playtesters would return to me with their answers after playing.
