The Zombie Survival Guide: Recorded Attacks

Hudson Steele — Tue, 20 Oct 2009 13:13:07 +0000

They have attacked Roman armies. The French Foreign Legion. Even prehistoric man. The undead have been a threat to humankind for millennia, and the living must always fight to survive.
They’re coming. And they’re hungry.

Max Brooks, the man who wrote the book on Zombie survival, is at it again with some help from illustrator Ibraim Roberson. This time he’s giving us a Zombie history lesson in “gruesomely illustrated graphic novel form”.
A must have for all ZSurvivalist and fans of the genre alike, The Zombie Survival Guide: Recorded Attacks is perfect reading for those who don’t like the idea of history repeating itself.

Death Troopers

It’s hard enough surviving the Zombie Apocalypse, being a geek on top of that really makes fitting in with the small pockets of civilization more difficult. It’s nice to know that when zeds run amok, even one of our favorite worlds, the Star Wars universe (well except Hudson…he’s a hater), is not immune to the undead plague.

“When the Imperial prison barge Purge–temporary home to five hundred of the galaxy’s most ruthless killers, rebels, scoundrels, and thieves–breaks down in a distant, uninhabited part of space, its only hope appears to lie with a Star Destroyer found drifting, derelict, and seemingly abandoned. But when a boarding party from the Purge is sent to scavenge for parts, only half of them come back–bringing with them a horrific disease so lethal that within hours nearly all aboard the Purge die in ways too hideous to imagine.

“And death is only the beginning. “

When All Hell Breaks Loose by Cody Lundin

The Zombie Survival Guide is a wonderful book about surviving against the Zombie outbreak, but it really doesn’t go into detail about surviving the other aspects of life that inevitably comes with it. Penned by the founder and director of the internationally recognized Aboriginal Living Skills School, this book contains several helpful tips and tidbits on how to deal with an urban disaster.
“From the basics such as shelter, water, food, survival kits, and first-aid, to survival exotics such as building a makeshift toilet, catching rodents for food, and safely disposing of a corpse, When All Hell Breaks Loose is the first book to concisely and humorously outline a simple survival system using everyday household items to survive catastrophes from Los Angeles to Paris and everywhere in between.”

Dead Reign – Zombie Apocalypse RPG

Palladium Books released a new product in their RPG line covering one of the most important genres for Zprepared readers…The Zombie Apocalypse. Sure Dead Reign is packaged as a role playing game so you and your friends can gather around and have fun pretending to kill zombies during the apocalypse, but this is probably one of the most valuable ways to test various tactics and train new survivors in your crew. A skilled “Game Master” can easily help people create “characters” that accurately portray each member’s various attributes and skills, so he can run them through a plethora training scenarios teaching them the value of teamwork and solid tactics.

Of course Dead Reign is also a valuable tool to review missions to see what went wrong, and how to rectify the weaknesses in your team tactics. This game uses the Palladium® game system, allowing you to test your tactics in the other game lines in Palladium’s Megaverse®.
