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:
Name:
Gender:
Age:
Bio:
Status: Healthy
Primary Weapon: None yet
Secondary Weapon: None yet
Melee Weapon: None yet
Now divide 20 points between these three skills:
Strength:
Endurance:
Dexterity:
I'll post more stuff later if I think of anything else.
Have fun!

"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

You enter the building cautiously, wondering what the inside will look like.
The interior is just as ornate as the exterior. You wonder why such a serious-sounding company has such a fancy building.
You make your way to the front desk.
"Can I help you, sir?" The lady at the counter asks.
"I was just wondering what this building is." You reply.
"Well, this company is called the Impending Zombie Apocalypse company, shortened to I.Z.A., as shown on our sign. This company is dedicated to the prevention of that. We're willing to help anyone who believes in us. Are you interested?"
This reminds you of your dream.
Do you believe them?
a) Yes
b) No

I like that you're so into the game!
That makes me feel good.
Hmm...from watching this I realize what should I do if one of my teammates get bitten. I'll need to make a small compartment of glass walls at the back of my bus, but I don't have time to build it now so I'll just take some tall slabs of glass from my workshop and put it in my bus. But at the last minute, I paint "The Road to Survival" on the sides of my bus in black.
OK.
I tell my friends to come with me on a road trip, I take a prayer book for, well I think you'll know why (to pray for survival), and we head out west to my sister's house. I tell my friends the truth after ten miles. I had dreams about an Impending Zombie Apocalypse and about IZA Co. and how their building can only be seen by zombie believers. How I got these guns *hands them guns* from them and how I had to use my friends to help me survive while helping them survive at the same time. I tell them this road trip is actually going to my sister's place and then my parents to help them and then keep running 'till we're capable of fighting back. And if they leave on the highway, they won't survive. I gotta station 2 submachine gunners in the back with 4 rifle gunners, and 1 submachine gunner at each side with 2 rifle gunner. Everyone in the back gets a machete, two people at the sides get a machete, the one at front gets machete, and the remaining get a crowbar. Everybody gets a rifle and the packs if grenades go in the back. I will drive with a submachine gunner. I don't want you guys to misunderstand, I am trying to protect you.
This sounds like a good plan, except for the fact that your friends might think you're crazy. People won't believe what they can't see.
My Defensive Layout
Here's what you do:
1. Type the layout.
2. Take a screenshot of the layout.
3. Upload the screenshot (try Photobucket or ImageShack).
4. Post the picture here.
That's what I usually do.
MrStuff, what does "Dexterity" do?
Dexterity helps determine who goes first in a battle. It can also help in other circumstances, such as trying to run away from zombies.
And while I'm at it, I'll tell you what the other stats do as well.
Strength helps you deal and resist damage. It can also help in other circumstances, such as trying to break down a door.
Endurance determines how many turns you can go in a battle before becoming exhausted. Once you are exhausted, you will not be able to do much.
And you should mention the food and fuel consumption.
I'll tell you at the end of the trip. That just makes it easier for me.

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?
a) Enter the building
b) Go home to rest

Here is a summary of chapter 1:
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.
Here is a summary of chapter 2:
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.

This sounds like a good plan, except for the fact that your friends might think you're crazy. People won't believe what they can't see.
I tell 'em, "C'mon guys, you think I can 'imagine' all of this and you know I'm not crazy, have a temper, but you know I'd never act this serious. This even fits in with the incident on the news! The IZA Co gave me this! *shows them the Zombie Apocalypse Survival Guide* How can you explain this!? And I told you I got these weapons from them. Guys, when we see our first zombie in our journey, then you'll truly believe me. If it will make you feel better, if we go, we're gonna miss the Electricity Test that none of us studied for so the teacher will give us a make-up test for being absent. For now, just stay at your stations."

I keep going to my sister's house. If we see a zombie, I'll give them proof and take the body, completely destroy the brain the gush and take it to show my sister's family. She shouldn't get too grossed out, she likes seeing this in other bloody games. Eventually I will get to my sister's house, explain her family everything and show her my 3 proofs. I ask her to look at me in the eye and to believe me, she's grown up with me so she knows me. I tell her if she comes with me then 'inshalla' we will survive.
P.S. So Dexterity is basically speed?
