For those who backed the game... the surveys are out...

They said you can even perform adjusts in your pledge (only adding stuff i imagine...)

actually i bumped over this game and then starting checking for other zombie games since i could not wait until august, thats how i found LNOE, now i am waiting to receive LNOE and i guess it will take long time until we play LNOE and its expansions(another one coming out soon) and try zombicide,
Still it looks incredibly cool, although i am a little afraid of the non-player zombies and how good challenge this will offer

[j0hnnn]

Well so far what we got... from zombicide

All heroes have only 2 wounds...
The stronger you get... more zombies appear.
Each time you first open a building you generate noise (Un)wanted attention for you, and draw spawn cards for each room of it.
Lastly if you ran out of zeds to spawn. All zeds get extra actions

May not sound very menacing because is a sort of A.I. and there is a player controlling however the frailty of the characters aligned with the amount of zeds that can come into play makes the cut i suppose.

For those of you that didn't kept checking like hourly their websites....

The character templates, Rulebook and Blank item cards are available for download now.

just read through the rules (i am the rule-eater of my game party so....) I like a lot of things in this game, the solo opportunity, the cooperation, the difficulty(as it seems), the big zombie horde, the graphics

the rules seem nice, there were 2 things i did not liked though (allthough only when tested we can say if it is ok or not)
1st the addition of zombies when splitting, new zombies are just placed there, ok it can be explained thematically but i just dont lke it
and 2nd that the 1st hits on a zone go always to your partners, that seems stupid, ok there should be a chance of hitting your friends with guns but not allways when they are present, it seems too stupid to me

thats my opinion, i am having really big trouble with this game because i want it and it wont be easy to keep up playing 2 zombie games. I think i will pass for a while only because i want to play LNoE more!

About your comments argailwall

First one... i see no trouble at all... for it's fine

As for the second one... DUMB RULE... already thinking on a houserule like the following:

When trying to perform a gunshot roll with a bonus of +1 zed in the space and -1 for each survivor on the roll of 5+, YOU have line of sight and may ignore ALL SURVIVORS in that zone for this turn.

Following the priority as follows

Walkers < Fattys or Abomination < Runners

Which would thematically fits a lot better than... ALWAYS SHOOT YOUR FRIENDS FIRST!!!

[argailwall]

or what i thought is, no modifiers, but each 1 (and maybe 2 in some weapons or in dual wield) hits the survivor

[j0hnnn]

Tough on that too later on... was about to post it on the kickstarter foruns...

But i would stick with only 1's... 2's bring back the feeling that people hits too much each other in a zombie apocalypse.

[argailwall]

or maybe reroll all miss dice and 1's on these rolls are friendly hits
