Last Night on Earth - the movie

[LabRat]

Similar to the Invasion From Outer Space "scenario" that I posted, I'm envisioning the Last Night on Earth "movie scenario" as a series of existing scenarios played out with continuity in between to represent 3 acts in a movie. Any events that happen in the first "act" would have repercussions in the succeeding acts (e.g. character deaths). Since I only have the base set (yes, finally!), I'm only using the included scenarios in my recommended story.

Act 1 - Defend the Manor House

The zombies have risen and have started attacking the town. The Woodinvale survivors make their way to the Manor House in the middle of town and try their best to survive the night.

- Scenario is played as is.
- Any killed Heroes cannot be used in Acts 2 and 3.
- Heroes Replenish is Optional.
- If the Heroes win, they get to keep 1 Weapon that they found during the act.
- If the Heroes lose, the Zombies get to roll 3D6 for the starting zombies for Act 2 and remove the lowest die for the result.


Act 2 - Burn 'Em Out!

The survivors try to fight back the next day and must destroy where the zombies are coming from before sundown.

- Scenario is played as is.
- Any killed Heroes cannot be used in Act 3.
- Optional: Human players must use survivors from Act 1.
- Optional: Heroes Replenish
- If the Heroes win, they get to keep 2 items (1 weapon, 1 non-weapon item) that they found during the act.
- If the Heroes lose, the Zombies get to roll 3D6 for the starting zombies for Act 2 and remove the lowest die for the result.


Act 3 - Escape in the Truck

The survivors realize that the zombie apocalypse is inevitable and their only option is to escape from Woodinvale.

- Scenario is played as is.
- Optional: Human players must use survivors from Act 2.
- Recommended: No Heroes Replenish.


What do you guys think? Does it flesh out an entire story?

Personally, I'm excited to try this out. It gives a sort of role-playing feel in that how successful you are in previous acts improve your chances of winning in the next round. With expansions, I think the Upgrades serve as better rewards than just keeping any items found. I haven't playtested this yet but I'll post any results once I get the chance to.
