Here's a few quick tips that can make a good zombie or other post apocalypse game a great one, and keep the group coming back (from the dead?) for more. |

Pet & Peer NPCs By: Silveressa
Sometimes playing a major NPC that’s part of the party can be tough. After all, it’s hard not to have the NPC come up with a winning strategy, spot a piece of evidence or find a trap the PCs overlooked. However, if one does this too much, the NPC becomes the crutch the group leans on as soon a problem presents itself. When done too little, the NPC is usually treated as a useless addition outside of menial labor and an extra weapon in combat. Here are a few techniques to keep them fun and useful , and become a party member the GM and players will like having around. |

The Ten-Second Story By: PoisonAlchemist
Giving NPCs memories can go a long way to making a more realistic and enjoyable game world. This is not a submission about creating NPCs, this is about presenting them. Not everyone walks around with a different accent, strange tic, or catchphrase, our memories are what make us different. |

Campaign Level Thinking By: Mourngrymn
The question was asked about how you run a high level campaign. While this is a simple question it is not very simple to answer. Anyone who is an experienced DM will tell you that, especially for a beginner. In order to answer this I began thinking backwards. |
