[...] And from Dungeon Mastering, we have an awesome summary of all things “zombie”… You must know your enemy to combat it! And it definitely helps to follow rule #4 – “Find the Necromancer.” Zombie-pocalypse [...]

@scott
In my games mummies were always deadly and retained some spellcasting ability. After all, why go through the hassle of enbalming a corpse if it is just going to become a shambling minion? Liches, on the other hand, are smart, cruel, and potent spellcasters. A lich is when a powerfull necromances joins the ranks of the undead himself. Depending on the ritual used and the age of the lich, they will be more or less corpreal. However, they all have beating, physical hearts, even if the rest of them is translucent. Liches for the win!

@Sean Holland

I agree with you that hollywood over uses Zombies and Vampires, even Werewolves to a point, but some of my best DnD memories involve hordes of Zombies. Nothing builds suspense like a couple of thousand mindless zombies rampaging through the land, but thats just me

Quick question, in your opinion how do mummies differ from Liches and zombies? this is a question that i’ve pondered for awhile on and off.

I am rather burned out on using zombies, media frenzies do that to me. Vampires too.

What about the ‘forgotten’ undead? The mummies, the ghosts and specters, and all the rest, do not they deserve some attention too?

When I play grunt zombies, they do not have hp. I use a “dismemberment” system where the higher the roll+damage of an attack the more dismemberagation occurs.

Personally i think there is always some underlying zombie craziness. I look back a couple of years ago to the Resident Evil Movies, Resident Evil 4, Dawn of the Dead, Shaun of the Dead, Land of the Dead. I think it happens every couple of years or so, like hollywoods ‘rule of 2′ (Armageddon + Deep Impact)

On a side note, you must have yawned a bit cause Falad said his name like twenty times in that article, ha.

Is it me or is everyone going crazy with zombies these days? Not like it’s bad thing (of course not!), but it’s still pretty weird with Zombieland, Halloween and Left 4 Dead 2 soon coming out, all at the same time. Oh well, sweet article, Expy’s takeover brings a nice change, even though I keep yawning everytime I hear anything about ”the Lich King” since last year. No comments.
