Brains: The Hunger

Pictors Studio offers Brains: The Hunger, a simple set of rules to:

RIght off the bat, I have to say that these rules are not really historical. Everyone knows that the infamous Zombie infestation of 1978 started in a Pittsburgh Mall, not in some field with teenagers. Geesh. What are they thinking? Haven’t they done their research. Next thing you know, they’ll be trying to sell us zombie figures without the wide lapel shirts.

Bump In The Night is a free RPG that I think could easily be modified for use as a role playing oriented miniatures game. At the very least, it has some good ideas.
