I know that there are many Zombie Survival RPGs out there. What makes this thread different from others is that you will have time to prepare for the apocalypse!
This game takes place exactly one week before the zombie apocalypse. You should use this time to prepare (e.g. barricade, gather supplies, etc.).
Here is the character sheet that you will use:

I'll post more stuff later if I think of anything else.

"Great!" The clerk replies. "I just hate people who don't believe in us! Did you know that this building is invisible to people who believe in zombies?" That sounds impossible. "So, what do you need help with?"
"Well, I had this weird dream..." You describe the dream to her.
"That sounds like a message!" She exclaims. "Good thing you received that. Here's how we can help you prepare." You are given a zombie survival manual.
"And, if you come back tomorrow, we'll give you some weaponry to defend yourself!" The clerk says.
"Sure!" You say. Then you go home.
It is now late at night. What do you do now?
a) Read the manual
b) Sleep

WEAPONS
Although knowledge of zombies is useful, alone it is useless when surviving a zombie apocalypse. You also need tools to defend yourself.
Guns
We live in a society where guns are used a lot. This means that guns are, in theory, relatively easy to get. But what kind of gun should you use? That depends on what you need the gun for. A shotgun, for example, is good for close combat, while a sniper is good for a single long-range kill. It is up to you to decide what weapons you want.
-Machine Guns: Good when there are a lot of zombies that you want to incapacitate, not necessarily kill. Not very useful for other situations, however. -Submachine Guns: A somewhat useful weapon. Just make sure you don't waste ammo by going full auto. -Rifles: A very useful weapon. Consider this to be a multi-purpose gun. -Shotguns: Very useful at close range, but due to bullet dispersement, not as good at long range. -Pistols: A very good close-combat lifesaver. Consider this weapon a very good secondary weapon.
Melee Weapons
One should also carry around a melee weapon, in case they run out of ammo. There are two main kinds of melee weapons: Bludgeons and Blade Weapons.
Bludgeons
-Sledgehammer: A good bludgeon, but also is heavy and needs skill to wield. -Crowbar: A very useful bludgeon. Not only can it crack open a skull, but it can be used for many other purposes as well.
Blade Weapons
-Hatchet: Useful for close combat. -Sword: Also needs skill to wield, but can decapitate more easily than a hatchet. -Machete: A useful multi-purpose blade weapon.

There used to be three, but now there's two.
You put the book down and go to sleep.
The man appears again in your dream.
"Good." He says. "You have been to the I.Z.A. They will be able to help you." He hands you a pistol and leaves.
The zombies come again, but you kill them with your pistol.

ZOMBIES
Zombies are undead human corpses that feed on human flesh. The humans turn into zombies by means of the virus Solanum. When Solanum enters the bloodstream, it enters the brain and alters it, killing the human in the process. The human then turns into a mindless human-eating machine commonly referred to as a zombie.
Zombies appear to have enhanced sensory organs, such as improved sight, hearing, and smell. They are able to use all of their senses equally. They also feel no pain or emotion of any sort. The only way to dispatch of one is to destroy the brain.

Welcome to the Impending Zombie Apocalypse RPG!
You wake up one morning from a very weird dream. Here is basically what happened:
In the dream, a man came up to you, and told you that you had one week to prepare for the impending zombie apocalypse.
"Zombies!?" You exclaimed. "They don't exist! How can there be an apocalypse?"
"See for yourself." The stranger pointed to several zombies lumbering towards you. "Prepare." Then the stranger vanished.
You turned towards the zombies. You looked around, but there was no weapon of any sort. You tried to run, but you were stuck to the ground. You could only watch in horror as they got to you.
Then you woke up.
"I wonder what it means." You say to yourself as you get ready for work.
As you are walking down the road, you come across an ornate building with "I.Z.A. Co." written on the front. You look around, and see that no one else is paying attention. You wonder why. Then you remember that you have to go to work.
When you are finished with work, you remember that strange building you saw. You wonder if you should look around. On the other hand, however, you are pretty tired. What do you do?
