#AFMBE
frankly, good. I tried to get the czech legally distinct version going and it never went anywhere.

2 Ars Magica
3 pf2e

Looking back on it it seems odd that Cyberpunk 2020 didn't have a mechanic for losing Humanity through violent actions if your Empathy was above a certain point.

AFMBE had something about Essence damage but that was more tied to long-term trauma.

All Flesh Must Be Eaten,survival horror,Eden Studios, Unisystem system. Love the variety of Deadworlds and rules-lite play.

GM John'd be a dirty damned liar if he said he didn't constantly have ideas for a Nightbane game (short-form, campaign is a LOT of effort). You'll see it probably within a year or two naturally, we've got so much shit already recorded it's not funny. We love CJ's stuff including AFMBE/Witchcraft

If we do AFMBE we are absolutely doing "make yourself as a PC and we're going to just roleplay an outbreak like it's us and since I'm the GM I'm the first to die" it's my favorite way to play the game
I'm thinking about

Call of Cthulhu
Delta Green
Mork Borg
Ravenloft
Dread (we actually used Dread for the beach episode of our Avatar game but everyone liked it)

I’d buy Eden Studios off of George so he can concentrate on his shop. Then I’d bring back all of their lines (AFMBE, WitchCraft, Conspiracy X, etc.) with funky new editions.
Of course, that’s not considering the IP licensing potential of a lottery win.
Also, I’d invest in We_Evolve!
December 4, 2024 at 6:10 PM
Conspiracy X, Buffy/Angel, AFMBE, Tales from the Loop, James Bond, TSR Indiana Jones…
I would say C7 Doctor Who but still missing the newest stuff.

Funnily enough I once tried to run AFMBE for a ResiEvil campaign.

Mechanics are fairly solid, I do think it suffers a bit from skill bloat, as common with games from it's era.

I found it interesting it included rules for using cards or no randomizers for skill checks as well.

I got into RPGs around 4th edition when D&D was a little bit less popular because people hated 4th edition. The amount of games you could find at a Forbidden Planet was pretty staggering compared to now. I got into Chaosium games in large part because of this as well as AFMBE.
"Hasnt dnd always been---"

D&D has always been a popular game in the ttrpg sphere but the ttrpg sphere was FAR more *popularly* diverse. You could find tons of other games as popular, and you could find whole ass gamers that didnt know anything about D&D. ->

I think this was the first rpg I ever got, AFMBE. The system is fine, and there's a decent array of options for building unique zombies.
Some of the settings feel conservative, like all the worst prepper fears, but that goes with the territory perhaps.
Not sure I like the xp rewards for role play.

In the revised edition of AFMBE, they tried to resolve the pronoun question by alternating he and she each chapter. This was in the 2010s. Honestly, I found the explanations and disclaimers are more clunky than the alternating pronouns.

Pero en AFMBE no tienes desventaja por ser negro. Lo que hace es que en uno de sus escenarios te plantea la típica película cutre de serie B usaína xD

Pero yokse, que vale. Tú verás.

No has jugado una partida de Pathfinder en niveles bajos, entonces. Pero como veas, tú sabrás.

Y si, todo eso del AFMBE es puro sarcasmo, no es apología de lo rancio. El matiz es importante y se ve a kilómetros.

Tu pon un grupo de PJs de nivel 1 en una ciudad placada de zombies y veremos si son más para matar y no supervivencia (aunque no acabo de entender qué quieres decirme).

El AFMBE no se qué le verás de rancio más allá de algún escenario que plantea la típica película de zombies de serie B usaina.

Además de que ya existe el magnífico AFMBE.

I re-compiled rules from various #AFMBE books, ARM/WC books, and #ConX 2nd edition core book.

There are 70+ Skills, plus all the Skill Types. There are only 18 in #ArmyofDarkness.

Which do you prefer? A big list of skills, some medium level (30-40?) or less than 20?

#greatgamingweekend2026 #AFMBE Saturday night session went great. 3 new to All Flesh Must Be Eaten players and 3 vets. No PC deaths but plenty of laughs and screaming. They didn’t stop the rise, but they survived the first encounters with the earth mother.
August 2, 2026 at 4:15 AM
New #TTRPG experiment:

#AFMBE scenario as the rise happens. The situation is contained.

#DeltaGreen agents then investigate what happened during the AFMBE scenario. What happened? Was it contained? What now?

Second #AFMBE scenario wherein someone else tries again.

Details in August?

TTRPG STATUS CHECK!
QRT with your current TTRPG projects!

Pushing myself to finish various projects. I swear I’ll finish one of them.
Eventually.

Rules for HQs and hunting down enemies or being hunting by enemies #NightShift

3 #AFMBE expanded #Deadworlds
TTRPG STATUS CHECK!
QRT with your current TTRPG projects!

Currently working on cleaning up many of my old WIPs especially some old classes.

Really having fun with these.
TTRPG STATUS CHECK!
QRT with your current TTRPG projects!

Just finished proofreading Tribes in the Dark. We have a couple of meetings around what's come out that, and then hopefully we'll be moving forward.

And I cant go to a local con and not run a local favorite to close down the con. Only one died, but they released a zombie army in the process of (also) failing their mission!

#RPGaDay2023 day thirteen: most memorable character demise. The most recent AFMBE game ended on an epic fail when a PC shot up a fuel tank. Big badda boom as Leelo would say.
August 15, 2023 at 11:55 PM
Oh good. Another person who did that. I hate zombies, but I bought all the sourcebooks of AFMBE I could so I would have Unisystem rules for the various genres.
Aside from using the AFMBE splatbook universe with zombies scrubbed out as a universal rpg system in itself.
March 9, 2025 at 8:45 AM
This conversation has made me realise that I've done that thing, I've loaded AFMBE at some point and never got it back. Now hoping it wasn't loaded to the player who left our group acrimoniously several years ago. 🤔

I have a lot of fond memories running a short AFMBE campaign based in the UK. There's one session that I turned into a one-shot for one of my time running a game at Furnace. DEAD ON ARRIVAL involved the PCs as a British army unit sent to rescue a person of importance from a hospital...
