This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

You are in a mall when zombies attack. You have:

1. One weapon
2. One song blasting on the speakers
3. One famous person to fight along side you.

What / who are they?

If you like Zombies, check out my brother's book:
American Soil : Terror is on the March!

Quote"American Soil" is a horror/comedy set in the United States and is based on the "War on Terror", but in the context of a "zombie" invasion. The plot revolves around a small, diverse group of survivors, who must overcome their differences and band together to confront the mindless monsters, who threaten to destroy their society and their way of life. The story is a reflection of the climate of fear and the political partisanship that I see occurring in the United States. It is also a commentary on the harmful effects propaganda can have; on individuals and on a society as a whole.

There's an 8-page preview at the link above.  All the artwork is rotoscoped from photos (like Ralph Bashki did with the animated LotR).

Last Knight

1. A hand and a half sword, preferably a slashing weapon like a katana or a long-hilted saber. Something like Paul Chen's "Dark Sentinel".

"Kept my cool under lock and key
And I never shed a tear, another sign of my condition
Fear of love or bitter vanity
That kept me on the run, the main events at my confession
I kept a chain upon my door
That would shake the shame of Caine into a blind submission..."

1. One weapon:
If plenty of ammo, probably a shotgun or M16A4.  If not, a one-handed sledgehammer (picks and axes tend to get stuck)

2. One song blasting on the speakers:
Sympathy for the Devil - Stones

3. One famous person to fight along side you:

The ideal hand weapon is going to depend on what it takes to kill one of these hypothetical zombies and whether they are the fast kind or the slow kind.

I'm assuming they're Romero-type zombies.  Otherwise, I doubt we'd last long w/hand weapons.

Good call on the lightsaber Bradford.  Not sure if it would be that much more effective than a good sword, but you'd get bonus points for coolness.  :)
