Loved the writeup (in Pirate English — pinglish? — AND common tongue. Nice touch), BTW.

But surely, between twenty or so escapees from New Haven, we’ve got some idea of where West, North, East or South might lead and why we might be motivated to go in any one direction (or several)?

I know you’re a sandbox man — which is good for once we’re well ensconced in this scenario. But right now, we’re sort of like time-traveling amnesiacs with no knowledge of the outside world. Need the data, yo!

It was almost like you had times the Pirates of the Caribbean soundtrack to your descriptions of the chaos at the prison island. I never could have pulled off that performance. My pirate hat’s off to you, sir. (Hat’s off to all the other players, as well. You all performed admirably in the face of danger from every direction.)

I hope to see a writeup from you on the session. That was action-packed.

It was published as a magazine subscription, so the module is broken down into weeks of the outbreak. You actually start as characters on a cruise ship. But the real zombie goodness of this publication is the setting rules. Check it out!

I’m sort of on the fence about letting people join an adventure on the fifth (and final) session. Sometimes it works (like when we brought you into the last two sessions of our long-running Zombie Run campaign).

But sometimes it feels a bit incongruous, with Players acting in ways that don’t really mesh with what happened before. It may just be easier to have a veteran player just roleplay two characters, though that isn’t ideal, either.

In the end, it depends on the ability of the Player to hit the ground running and play their heart out without too much prompting.
