I couldn't help but notice the Zombie Survival Guide by Max Brooks is on Sohmer's reading list. I love that book and I also recommend World War Z by Max Brooks as well. Good stand alone book, but is better if you've read the ZSG first. Any other fans of ZSG out there? Also, Paramount has purchased the rights to make a WWZ movie. Sounds like fun!

This belongs more in the General Discussion Forum, me thinks. Though I did like the ZSG.

very good book. I will now make this a game.
how would you kill a zombie?
in your house?
using only what is really IN your house?
but first, you must foil the previous player.

I would push the fridge over onto the zombie

I would prop the fridge up and alow the zombie to eat you. I would then grab a knife from the drawer and stab him in the face.

but it is a butter knife and is next to useless!
I push it back, and break it's face in with a wooden broom

The zombie isn't even phased by the attack. I run upstairs, grab my shotgun and some ammo, run back downstairs and blow it's head off.

gun backfires.

run into our garage, grad our axe, and hack it to bits.

You didn't check the handle before it was too late, the head flew off leaving you beating the zombie with a wooden stick.

I take a metal skewer and go at the zombie's eyes.

I use a Neodymium Supermagnet to pull it out of your hands.


I maneuver the zombie in front of an iron wall, then let go of the magnet.

(In case any of you are wondering, a small child once picked up a Neodymium supermagnet from a wooden table, and the other one flew up and mushed his hand to paste. They still put very large danger labels on them and tell you to plot a course away from any metal or electronics in advance when moving them.)

It turns out no one actually has an iron wall in their house. That one was just gray.
I dual weild firewood pokers and beat his face in.

Well your agility is too low too dual weild and int. roll fails so the zombie eats you while you stare at your useless second weapon. I use my trusty maul (that I use to split wood) and bash the cretins out of it.

Ohhh but your Maul has been so overused the Handle snaps leaving you with nothing but a miniscule wooden stick in your hand.

I take my trusty Civillian C7, check it over and ensure its working fine. Load up a 15 round Clip, take aim and Fire at the zombies head!

The gun is working fine, but the clip was empty.

I take a meat cleaver, ensure that it is in good condition, but just in case, grab the duct tape off of the counter and re-inforce every single breaking point on it, and sharpen the blade just as well. I lop its head off.

By some freak coincidence involving a cult offering of a virgin goat you trade places with the zombie and lob your own head off from a interdimensional world.


I jump on the zombies back and try to wrestle it into submission so it becomes my pet

The Zombie reverses your submission into an inverted figure-four leg lock.

I grab me cutlass and proceed to lop off it's head.

Unfotunatly for you this zombie is well versed in Krav Magna and disarms then lobs of your head.


I used a little known move called the lobster roll. I pull a small hunting rifle scream like a little girl and pull the trigger as many times as it takes to kill the zombie.

you fire blanks

I grab my 20LB sledge-hammer and smash it's cranium

Whats the word for Flying Karate KICK. This zombies a friggin ninja. I attack it with an almost as cool approach. Enter the navy seal.

That seal might help if he whernt to distracted by the chefs muffins

meanwhile I take out my cutlass seeing as its a ninja I should be able to kill it with a pirate's blade

I would like to take this chance to lead the conversation somewhere else,
...

thank you

I would also like to point out that the item has to actually be in your RL house, I'm looking at you two

It dodges your attack then noms your brains out, turning you into a zombie.

I harness the immense unholy energy around me to make two balls of shadow, I fire one at each zombie, hoping that the amount of energy in each shadow ball is enough to unanimate them, then I reanimate them as my slaves.

Your standing in an antimagic circle and the power fizzles as it leaves your body.
I snag my longsword and thrust it through the beasties eye.

you lodge your swor din its eye but cannot retrieve it and seeing how zombies dont actually need eyes....



I sna kick its head off while its busy muching on his corpse.

Turns out the corpse turned, so it bites your leg while your kicking.

I sever(is that spelled right?) its head with a thrown cleaver while it eats you.

My ghost comes back to haunt the cleaver, making it float in the air, while the zombie eats you as you stare gazingly at the suspended cleaver.

Since I am a reanimated cleaver, I think I automatically win

unfortunately our zombie is also a magician as well as a kickboxer and a master in judo. It disenchants your soul from the cleaver and reanimates your body.




I paralyze this amazing zombie with a tazer. Whoever breaks this needs to come up with some rediculous shenanigans.

Tazer didnt have batteries, and zombie eats you for immitating an idea from Resident Evil: Remake

I push it into the giant meat grinder to make z-dogs.

Btw that wasnt nearly rediculous enough because ina ctuallity my tazer was reacting in opposite polarity to the nearest magnetic force shocking me in near comatose state. I then am ignored because our zombie does not like his humans too well done.


I use strategically placed trebuchets to bombard this amazing zombie.

Your trebuchets were aimed by Bush, crushing the neighbors.

I take Bush and beat the zombie with him

Bush is bitten by the zombie, turning him into Cheney. Now you have two soulless bastards out to eat your heart.

I grab a Ion Cannon controller (that was placed conveniently in my kitchen drawer) and fire it upon the zombie.

Your ion cannon takes 6 hours to charge and you forgot to plug it in.

I grab a cross and a bottle of holy water and yell "The power of christ compels you!" while i throw holy water on the zombie.

The zombie is an atheist and laughs at you before eating your throwing hand.

I summon a Type VI demon (Balor) and it uses its sword to kill the zombie. (Yay v2 monster manual)

You pronounce a word for the summoning ritual incorrectly, summoning a horde of ghouls, who can't manipulate the living dead.

Screw drivers in through the zombie's eye sockets.

You forget how lousy a DIYer you are and take his ears off instead, angering him into biting yours off.

I grab the presured air hose from the garage and blast his rotting flesh away with highpowered air.

shit plugged airline



fire hose more reliable

You forgot it. Again.

I summon... CTHULHU!

It forgets how to spell its name and goes on a quest to find the right spelling.

I use the trusty fish food to make it suffer an alergic reaction!

In a cruel twist of fate, it turns out that the fish was a dolphin in real life, causing PETA to maul you. (Fish =/= Dolphin = Mammal)


I use a riot shield to knock it onto its ass.

You've been using the riot shield too long and it snaps, the Zombie devours you.

I use my 9mm glock to shoot it in the face, I checked the gun. it have a full ammo clip and works perfectly. then break it's neck.

zombies only die from blows to the head so it eats you

I whack it with one of my 20lb books then fart in its face

The zombie simply eats you out of spite for your immaturity.

I pull on my viking gear and go Odin on its ass.

To battle your viking gear summons hordes of vikings to your side but also summons an army of zombie samuri.


Let the war begin.


I am the elf pansy who sits in the back sniping.

To battle your viking gear summons hordes of vikings to your side but also summons an army of zombie samuri.


Let the war begin.


I am the elf pansy who sits in the back sniping.

Since we all fight for the same causes, example: feeding our village, fighting for Odin, All the vikings join me, and rush you with our shields up, preventing any wanton deaths.

The Warriors freak out when the creatures fail to stay dead after fatal/crippling wounds, and run away.

I use a TOW missle that my buddy has a key for.

What you fail to comprehend is that your "buddy" is the zombie and now he has a tow missle.



I take out my trusty invisdile armour and energy sword and charge him all stealthily like

Your armor may be invisible, but thats because you got tricked like the king and his *invisible* robe that only those of high status can see, so you charged it naked and it eats your face.

I burn down the house and run away!

Shame that your caught inside the blaze.

I do the worst possible thing ever. I nuke the zombie.

Nuclear zombies aww crap.


Well i think its time. Everyone ready. THUMBS UP! LETS DO THIS! LEEEEEEEROOOOY JEEENNNNKINNNS!!!
