Games
Here are the links for the games that I found on the web and used to create this game. I urge you all to go out and get these games and add them to your own collections!
Six-Shooters & Wagons
This is the game that I mainly took inspiration from when creating the game. Its a rules light, Wild West themed hack of the Fantasy game Swords & Wizardy Light, which is a rules lite version of Swords & Wizardry.
Zombie Squad
Zombie Squad is a hack of Dungeon Squad, a rules light Dungeons and Dragons type game. I would have just played this game but, it still didn't offer me the freedom and type of emerssive gaming experience I was looking for.
Zombie World
This is a hack of the game Apocalypse World. It is a pretty emmersive game but still didn't offer what I was looking for but still it might be worth your time to try out.
Basic Fantasy
Last but certainly not least. The Basic Fantasy Role-Playing Game is a rules-light game system modeled on the classic RPG rules of the early 1980's. It was written by Chris Gonnerman and has a huge community behind it on their forum page on their website as well as in their Facebook group. I was originally just going to make a hack of this game but opted for a different approach. But is still a huge inspiration and source of information for me in creating this game.
My Little Zombie Apocalypse Tabletop RPG
This was the other game that I stumbled across. The thing that caught my eye was the success/failure chart. It is so simple of a system to use for almost every action I couldn't wait to try and incorporate it into my game. Want to jump from one roof top to another? Roll a D20. Want to jump up to a fire escape ladder above a garbage bin to get away from a horde of zombies? Roll a d20. Want to jump down off a 1 story building and land on the ground unscathed? Roll a D20. Perfect and simple!
Fallout 2d20 Beta 5.0
I also used some of the weapons, armor and weight and carry rules from this playtest game for the Fallout 2d20 system.
