Saturday, August 4th, was a celebration of 5 years of our gaming group getting together to play role-playing games. I dubbed this event PlemCon III. Several friends came over to participate in a gaming event that started at 11:00 a.m. and lasted until a little after 7:00 p.m.
The first game used the Dungeons & Dragons 3.5 Edition rules with a Masters of the Universe setting. We had a good time having the Heroic Warriors such as Ram-Man, Teela, Man-at-Arms and Fisto brawl it out with Evil Warriors like Stinkor, Skeletor, Clawful, Evil Lyn, Tri-Klops, Trapjaw and Two-Bad! The setup was a variation of capture the flag, which turned out in the end to be a little less exciting than was hoped. I think a good time was still had, but the game went downhill toward the end.
Things picked up with the second game session, though! We played an adventure called Road Trip of the Damned using the Unisystem rules from All Flesh Must Be Eaten. The players fought a horde of zombies (including zombie cows) in the sleepy town of Wherewith, Alabama. The group did a good job finding weapons, including baseball bats, tire irons, flashlights, shotguns and even a rifle. Several zombies met a second death at their hands, and one of the characters turned into a zombie. Most of the group seemed to escape on a motorboat across Lake Martin only to be executed by the military later on. The handful of characters who had not been bitten were able to get away and live to party another day.
