2. #2Infection Rules

   Always on · Selective (AND ANY) · Before character · Order 2 · 100%

   Entry settings

   The infection spreads through bites, scratches, bodily fluids (blood, saliva, etc.), and airborne exposure. Waterborne transmission is not a concern unless decayed corpses have contaminated a water source for decades. Every living human already carries the infection dormant within their system — death by any cause will result in reanimation regardless of whether the person was bitten or not. Over 70% of the global population is dead or infected.

   Once the infection becomes active (through direct transmission or death), the incubation period is terrifyingly fast — victims turn within minutes to a few hours. There is no known cure and no natural immunity. The infection is strictly human-only; animals are unaffected and remain a rare source of companionship and food for survivors.

   The only known countermeasure is "Narcosis," a specialized syringe-based treatment that suppresses the infection's spread in an infected individual. If administered a total of 5 times, it has the potential to fully cure the victim. However, Narcosis is extraordinarily rare, and its production requires a genius-level doctor with access to advanced medical equipment and pharmaceutical resources. Most survivors will never encounter a single dose in their lifetime.

3. #3Zombie Behavior & Mechanics

   Always on · Selective (AND ANY) · Before character · Order 3 · 100%

   Entry settings

   Zombies are completely mindless creatures with no residual intelligence, memory, or ability to use tools. They are attracted by noise, light (such as flashlights), and smell. When no stimulus is present, they wander aimlessly. Zombies are drawn to each other by scent and will naturally follow one another, forming loose groups even without an external trigger.

   Zombies can be killed by destroying the brain, burning them with fire, exposing them to extreme cold, or through starvation. They do not feel pain and will not react to non-lethal damage. However, they can bleed out or starve to death over time. Severed limbs continue to move but are slow and weak.

   Zombies decompose at the same rate as normal human corpses. Older zombies are weaker and slower as their bodies deteriorate. Weather and climate affect decomposition — heat accelerates rot, while cold preserves tissue. Given enough time, zombies will eventually fall apart on their own.

   Hordes form when zombies converge on loud noises, drawing in more zombies who follow each other by scent. Horde sizes vary wildly and unpredictably — they can number in the dozens, hundreds, or even thousands. Hordes can be dispersed with proper tactics and are not an unstoppable force. There are no leaders or special zombies directing horde movement; it is purely instinctual swarm behavior.

4. #4Normal Zombie

   Always on · Selective (AND ANY) · Before character · Order 4 · 100%

   Entry settings

   Normal Zombies are the most common infected type encountered in the apocalypse. They are slow, shambling walkers with minimal physical strength due to decomposition. They behave exactly as described in standard zombie mechanics — attracted by noise, light, and smell, completely mindless, and wandering aimlessly when no stimulus is present. They pose little threat individually but become deadly in numbers. Their decomposition rate matches that of a normal human corpse, meaning older zombies are weaker and slower. They can be killed by brain destruction, fire, extreme cold, or starvation.

5. #5Runner

   Always on · Selective (AND ANY) · Before character · Order 5 · 100%

   Entry settings

   Runners are fast-moving zombies that sprint toward living prey. They are recently turned infected with fresh bodies, granting them significantly greater mobility and speed than normal zombies. Unlike shamblers, Runners can close distances rapidly, making them far more dangerous in open areas. However, they tire out after sustained running and will eventually slow to a shamble if chased long enough. Runners are a common encounter — their numbers should be determined by a dice roll when encountered.

6. #6Stalker

   Keys: stalker, stalkers

   Enabled · Selective (AND ANY) · After character · Order 6 · 100%

   Entry settings

   Stalkers are a dangerous zombie variant that stalk prey quietly and stealthily. They are faster than normal zombies and possess enhanced senses — superior smell, hearing, and detection — making them exceptional trackers. Unlike mindless shamblers, Stalkers are capable of ambushing survivors and actively tracking them over distances. Their critical weakness is sunlight and UV light. Their enhanced senses make even small exposure to UV rays painful, causing them to immediately retreat from any light source. Stalkers are primarily active in dark environments — basements, tunnels, abandoned buildings, sewers, and during nighttime.

7. #7Screamer

   Keys: screamer, screamers

   Enabled · Selective (AND ANY) · After character · Order 7 · 100%

   Entry settings

   Screamers are a support-type zombie variant that pose no direct physical threat — they cannot attack. They are blind but possess enhanced senses that allow them to detect survivors nearby. Upon detecting survivors, a Screamer will emit a piercing scream that alerts and attracts nearby zombies and hordes to the survivors' location. Screamers have a cooldown period between screams, giving survivors a brief window to silence or flee from them. Their critical weakness is the throat — any damage to the throat area will instantly kill a Screamer. Silencing a Screamer before it screams is critical to avoiding horde encounters.

8. #8Tank

   Keys: tank, tanks

   Enabled · Selective (AND ANY) · After character · Order 8 · 100%

   Entry settings

   Tanks are a rare and terrifying zombie variant. They are large, muscular infected with extremely high durability, capable of taking significantly more damage than any other zombie type before going down. Despite their imposing size, Tanks have low strength and are slow-moving, making them easier to avoid than to engage. However, their sheer resilience makes them dangerous in prolonged encounters — they absorb bullets, melee strikes, and environmental hazards that would destroy normal zombies. Tanks are very rarely encountered, but when they appear, they should be treated as a major threat. Fire and extreme cold remain effective against them, though brain destruction requires sustained or concentrated effort due to their mass.

9. #9Resource Scarcity

   Keys: loot, looting, scavenge, scavenging, search, searching, raid, raiding, supplies, supply, food, water, medicine, ammo, ammunition, fuel, weapon, weapons, craft, crafting, trade, trading, resource, resources, inventory, backpack, bag

   Enabled · Selective (AND ANY) · After character · Order 9 · 100%

   Entry settings

   Resources are universally scarce in the apocalypse, though some areas remain relatively untouched by scavengers. The time since the outbreak varies depending on the setting.

   Food: Canned food availability varies wildly — some locations have been picked clean while others still hold supplies. Use dice rolls to determine what is found and how much. Fresh food is essentially nonexistent. Clean water is hard to find and must be boiled or filtered before consumption.

   Medicine: Basic medical supplies such as bandages, antibiotics, and painkillers are rare. Pharmacies and hospitals vary — some are stripped bare while others still hold valuable stock. Use dice rolls to determine what remains.

   Weapons & Ammo: Firearms are rare and highly sought after. Melee weapons are the standard for most survivors. Ammunition availability varies — use dice rolls to determine quantity found. Military-grade weapons are nearly impossible to find.

   Fuel & Vehicles: Fuel availability varies by location — use dice rolls to determine if fuel is found and how much. Vehicles are a mix of functional and wrecked depending on the area. Use dice rolls to determine vehicle condition.

   Crafting: Survivors can craft makeshift weapons and tools. Basic materials such as scrap metal, cloth, duct tape, rope, and wood are relatively easy to find in most environments.

   Luxuries & Trade: Items like alcohol, cigarettes, books, batteries, and entertainment are considered valuable trade goods and can be used as currency among survivors.

   Dice Mechanics: When scavenging or looting, use DnD dice rolls to determine the availability, quantity, and condition of resources found. This applies to food, medicine, ammo, fuel, vehicles, and any other scavenged goods.

10. #10Combat Risk

    Keys: fight, fighting, combat, attack, attacking, kill, killing, shoot, shooting, gun, melee, stealth, takedown, bite, bites, scratch, scratches, wound, wounds, blood, ammo, bullet, bullets, suppress, suppressed, silencer, silenced

    Enabled · Selective (AND ANY) · After character · Order 10 · 100%

    Entry settings

    Combat in the zombie apocalypse is inherently dangerous and carries multiple risks beyond the immediate threat of the infected.

    Noise & Aggro: All combat noise attracts zombies. Gunfire, explosions, and loud melee strikes cause zombies to converge on the source. Melee combat produces significantly less noise than gunfire. Suppressed or silenced weapons reduce attraction but do not eliminate it entirely. Fighting a single zombie risks alerting others in the surrounding area.

    Stealth Takedowns: Survivors must perform stealth takedowns to kill infected silently. Any loud kill — a gunshot, a screaming struggle, a heavy impact — risks drawing nearby zombies and potentially forming a horde.

    Infection Risk: Close-quarters combat dramatically increases infection risk through blood splatter, scratches, and bites. Survivors must avoid getting zombie blood in their eyes, mouth, or open wounds at all costs. Use DnD dice rolls to determine infection risk during close combat encounters — the more prolonged and chaotic the fight, the higher the risk.

    Weapon Degradation: Weapons can break or degrade during fights. Improvised and melee weapons are especially prone to damage after repeated use. Survivors also risk injury from their own weapons or environmental hazards during combat — slips, misfires, shrapnel, and structural collapses are all real dangers.

    Ammunition Economy: Every bullet is precious. Survivors should count their shots and treat ammunition as a finite, irreplaceable resource. Melee combat is strongly preferred whenever possible to conserve ammo. Firearms should be reserved for situations where no alternative exists.

11. #11Human Threats

    Keys: raider, raiders, bandit, bandits, cannibal, cannibals, cult, cults, warlord, warlords, hostile, survivor, survivors, stranger, strangers, ambush, trap, betrayal, betray, trust, deceive, deception, human, humans, threat, threats, military, police, government

    Entry settings

    In the zombie apocalypse, the living are often as dangerous as the dead. Human threats come in many forms — cults, cannibals, raiders, and warlords — ranging from small gangs to organized groups. Their motivations vary widely: resources, territory, sadism, survival at any cost, and ideology. Some people betray others out of sheer desperation rather than pure malice, blurring the line between villain and victim.

    Trust between strangers is fragile. While not completely nonexistent, genuine trust is rare and hard-earned. Deception is widespread — fake friendliness, traps, and ambushes are common tactics used by hostile survivors. Genuinely good survivors still exist but are uncommon in this world.

    Human threats can be more dangerous than zombies in many situations. Unlike the infected, humans can think, plan, and adapt. Hostile humans have been known to weaponize zombies — herding hordes toward targets, using infected as traps, and baiting survivors into infected zones. Use DnD dice rolls to determine human encounters, their disposition, group size, and behavior.

    Society has largely collapsed in terms of morality — killing, theft, and worse are commonplace. However, some lawful and ethical groups still persist. Military remnants, police survivors, and fragments of government attempt to maintain order and protect the innocent, though their reach and resources are limited.

    Keys: weather, storm, storms, rain, snow, winter, summer, cold, heat, hypothermia, heatstroke, disease, sick, illness, contamination, contaminated, chemical, radiation, collapse, collapsing, debris, power line, gas leak, flooding, road, terrain, wilderness, urban, rural, fire, burn, hazard, hazards, environment, corpse, corpses, tetanus, dysentery

    Enabled · Selective (AND ANY) · After character · Order 12 · 100%

    Entry settings

    The apocalypse has made the environment itself a constant threat to survival.

    Weather & Seasons: Seasons significantly affect survival. Winter cold, summer heat, storms, rain, and snow all pose real challenges. Exposure to extreme weather can kill survivors through hypothermia, heatstroke, and prolonged exposure — though death is gradual, not instant. Proper shelter, clothing, and fire are essential to survive harsh conditions.

    Disease & Contamination: Rotting corpses create disease hazards. Airborne pathogens and contaminated soil are real dangers near mass grave sites, battlefields, and heavily infested areas. Survivors can contract illnesses from environmental exposure — dysentery from bad water, infections from untreated wounds, tetanus from rusted metal, and other diseases are constant risks. Some areas are contaminated by chemical spills, radiation, or biological hazards resulting from collapsed infrastructure and should be avoided entirely.

    Infrastructure Collapse: Buildings are structurally compromised. Collapse risks, unstable floors, and falling debris are common hazards when exploring abandoned structures. Downed power lines, gas leaks, burst pipes, and flooding from broken water mains are present throughout urban areas. Survivors must be cautious when entering any structure.

    Terrain Hazards: Roads are frequently blocked by abandoned vehicles, debris, and collapsed structures, making travel difficult and dangerous. Wilderness areas pose their own dangers — wild animals, rough terrain, and lack of shelter make survival difficult outside of urban centers. Both urban and rural areas are equally dangerous, each in different ways.

    Fire Hazards: Fire is a useful tool but also a massive risk. It can spread to buildings and attract unwanted attention from both zombies and hostile humans. Fire can get out of control quickly and become a serious threat to survivors, potentially trapping them or destroying their shelter and supplies.

13. #13Night vs Day

    Keys: night, nighttime, day, daytime, dark, darkness, sleep, sleeping, shelter, watch, flashlight, visibility, morning, evening, dusk, dawn, midnight, sun, sunlight, UV, nightfall, awake

    Enabled · Selective (AND ANY) · After character · Order 13 · 100%

    Entry settings

    Time of day shapes the risks survivors face, though neither night nor day is inherently safer — each carries different dangers.

    Zombie Activity: Zombies are equally active during both night and day. There is no enhanced aggression or behavioral change based on time. However, Stalkers become a significantly greater threat at night, as they retreat from UV light and sunlight during the day. After dark, Stalkers roam freely and are far more dangerous.

    Visibility: Visibility is significantly reduced at night, making it harder to spot zombies, terrain hazards, and human threats. Using flashlights at night attracts zombies, creating a deadly catch-22 — use light to see and risk drawing the infected, or stay hidden in darkness and risk being ambushed.

    Sleep & Shelter: Survivors must find secure shelter before nightfall. Sleeping outdoors at night is essentially a death sentence. When sheltering, survivors take turns keeping watch while others rest. A single lapse in watch duty can result in being overrun by zombies or ambushed by Stalkers.

    Human Threats: Raiders and hostile humans are primarily active during the day. Traveling at night is considered a death wish by most survivors due to Stalkers being everywhere in the dark. Ambushes by human threats are more common during daytime hours when visibility and movement are easier for the living.

14. #14Psychological Toll

    Keys: trauma, traumatic, PTSD, anxiety, depression, paranoid, paranoia, stress, stress, breakdown, breakdowns, mental, psychology, psychological, emotion, emotional, moral, morality, guilt, grief, loss, losing, despair, hopeless, hopelessness, sanity, insane, insanity, numb, desensitized, breakdown, cope, coping, breakdown

    Enabled · Selective (AND ANY) · After character · Order 14 · 100%

    Entry settings

    The psychological toll of the apocalypse is a constant, pervasive threat to survivors, though its effects vary from person to person.

    Mental Health: Survivors may experience PTSD, anxiety, depression, and paranoia as a result of their experiences. The severity and presence of these conditions depend on the individual character and what they have endured. Not every survivor breaks the same way — some endure, some crumble, and some find strength they never knew they had.

    Moral Compromises: Survivors regularly face impossible moral choices — leaving someone behind, killing to survive, sacrificing others for the greater good. These decisions weigh heavily on the human conscience. Desensitization to violence and death occurs in some survivors over time, while others remain deeply affected by every life taken or lost.

    Breaking Points: Mental breakdowns can occur under extreme stress, but whether and how they manifest depends entirely on the character. Some survivors shut down, others lash out, and others push forward through sheer willpower. Use DnD dice rolls to determine psychological reactions to traumatic events — a failed roll may result in a breakdown, panic attack, or moment of weakness at a critical moment.

    Individual Variation: Many psychological responses — isolation-induced reality loss, grief handling, emotional numbness, reckless behavior, guilt, chronic paranoia, and coping mechanisms — are defined by the individual character and their background rather than universal rules.

15. #15Animals

    Keys: animal, animals, pet, pets, dog, dogs, cat, cats, horse, horses, wildlife, wild, predator, predators, wolf, wolves, bear, bears, hunt, hunting, livestock, farm, farms, beast, beasts, creature, creatures, nature

    Enabled · Selective (AND ANY) · After character · Order 15 · 100%

    Entry settings

    Animals are unaffected by the infection and remain a vital part of the post-apocalyptic world, serving as food sources, companions, and practical assets — though they can also be dangerous predators.

    Roles: Animals serve multiple purposes for survivors. They are a source of food, companionship in an isolating world, and practical tools — guard dogs alert survivors to threats, hunting companions help track prey, and animals like horses can be used for transport when fuel is scarce.

    Wildlife: Since the outbreak, wild animals have taken over urban areas. With reduced human activity, animal populations have increased significantly. Wild predators such as wolves, bears, and big cats are a real threat to survivors, especially in wilderness areas and increasingly in abandoned cities.

    Zombie Interaction: Zombies completely ignore animals — they only target humans. This makes animals uniquely safe from the infected. Additionally, animals can sense zombies before humans do. Dogs will bark, growl, or act agitated when infected are near, serving as an invaluable early warning system for survivors.

    Hunting: Survivors commonly hunt animals for food as a reliable alternative to scavenging canned goods. Fresh meat from uninfected animals is one of the safest food sources available in the apocalypse.

16. #16Transportation

    Keys: vehicle, vehicles, car, cars, truck, trucks, fuel, gas, gasoline, diesel, siphon, road, roads, highway, highways, drive, driving, travel, traveling, bike, bicycle, motorcycle, boat, boats, transport, transportation, engine, repair, mechanic, spare parts, off-road, wheel, wheels, tire, tires

    Entry settings

    Transportation is a valuable but risky asset in the apocalypse. Vehicles can mean the difference between life and death, but they come with significant drawbacks.

    Vehicle Availability: Functional vehicles are neither universally common nor universally rare — availability depends entirely on location and circumstances. Vehicles are a mix of wrecked, abandoned, and out-of-fuel husks littering the roads. Use DnD dice rolls to determine vehicle condition when one is found — a poor roll may mean a dead battery, flat tires, missing parts, or a completely destroyed engine.

    Fuel: Fuel availability varies by location. Survivors can siphon fuel from abandoned vehicles to keep their own running. Alternative fuels such as biofuel can be crafted, but this is impossible without proper chemical or mechanical knowledge.

    Road Conditions: Most roads are blocked by abandoned vehicles, debris, and collapsed structures. Highways are generally more passable than city streets, which are often choked with wreckage. Whether survivors prefer off-road travel depends on the situation and terrain.

    Travel Risks: Vehicle noise attracts zombies and hordes, making driving a loud and dangerous proposition. Vehicles can break down in hostile territory, leaving survivors stranded and vulnerable. Vehicles can be used as weapons against zombies, but modified vehicles — reinforced bumpers, plows, armor plating — can be more dangerous to operate due to added weight, reduced maneuverability, and mechanical strain.

    Maintenance: Vehicles require regular maintenance and repairs to remain functional. Survivors with basic mechanical knowledge can fix common issues. Spare parts availability is determined by DnD dice rolls when searching for specific components.

    Other Transport: Boats are viable for travel near waterways and offer the advantage of avoiding land-based threats, though they come with their own risks such as contaminated water, weather exposure, and limited fuel.

17. #17Sexual Content

    Always on · Selective (AND ANY) · Before character · Order 17 · 100%

    Entry settings

    Sexual content is a natural part of life in the apocalypse, occurring as stress relief, intimacy, and bonding between survivors. Survival prostitution also exists — trading sex for resources, protection, or shelter — though this depends heavily on the circumstances and the individuals involved. Romantic relationships can develop between survivors, but casual encounters are far more common than committed relationships due to the harsh and uncertain nature of survival.

    Risks & Mechanics: Noise from sexual activity does not attract zombies. However, vulnerability during intimate moments depends entirely on the situation and location — survivors caught in the open or in unsecured shelters are at risk. Use DnD dice rolls to determine if sexual encounters are interrupted by threats, such as zombies breaching the location or hostile humans ambushing the survivors.

    Pregnancy: Contraception is extremely rare in the apocalypse. Pregnancy risk should be determined by DnD dice rolls following sexual encounters. Bringing a child into the apocalypse is a dangerous and life-altering prospect.

    Necrophilia & Infection: Some depraved or maniacal survivors capture female zombies and engage sexually with them. Penetrating a zombie's lower orifices does NOT transmit the infection. However, any oral contact with a zombie's mouth — including forced oral sex — WILL transmit the infection.

    Tone: All sexual content should be written maturely and realistically, focusing on the psychological and physical realities of the NPCs rather than being purely gratuitous.
