But is it art?...
No, it is not, it's a meme and it's probably the coolest one I've done.
And you really should be prepared you know, kids.
So get off your bums and make your sheets too!
I actually put a lot of serious thought into this.
Sit for a a spell and I'll explain everything! (oh god, is he serious?)
Last words: You are NOT going to think up of something witty when a pack of zombies swarmed you and are clawing you apart.
Sidekick: Candiipup. Don't be fooled by her cuteness! That girl is a smart cookie, and I'd feel much safer with her than a strong oaf! And I bet she can swing a crowbar like it's nobody's business.
Headgear (optional): I picked a gas mask, in case it's an airborne virus, but having to wear that mask all the time would suck! Especially eating, drinking and suchnot. But it seemed like a practical choice of headgear for a zombie apocalypse.
Clothing (upper): Chain mail. And this is not steel, this is aluminum chain mail, it is light, and fits you pretty snugly, so it doesn't impede your movement, you can't claw it open, you can't bite through it, and it does not rust fast at all.
Clothing (lower): I could have written in aluminum chain mail pants, but thinkgeek doesn't sell those yet, and it would have been redundant anyway. So I put in durable, protective footwear, that also double as a last resort weapon. Steel-toed caps.
Main Weapon: you don't pick the gun that vomits out the most bullets per second. ammunition is limited! This is the apocalypse! You pick the gun that you can aim best from as far as you can, that fires single high calibre rounds, and that uses mainstream ammunition.
Secondary Weapon: I picked a billy club. In case the shit comes down and I'm closed in, because it's light, easy to reach for and take out. (unlike larger steel blunt weapons) It's easy and fast to swing around at a zombie's head. and since it's a properly crafted club, it's balanced and durable, so it'll pack a wallop and stuns them or knock them away, giving me a chance to get away, if not, there's a good chance it can crack their rotten skulls.
Inventory:
AD&D 3.5 player's handbook: Limitless imagination equals endless fun, the apocalypse CAN get boring.
Crossbow: To hunt for food! Such as birds, fishes, or even larger games, I'm not gonna use my precious ammo for this, the arrows are re-usable, and if they break, I can craft new ones in my stronghold.
Extra ammo: self explanatory.
Water Purifier: Can't drink sea water. Could be powered by my bike.
Fleshlight: .......Ok, look... the apocalypse gets lonely. REALLY lonely... I'll just keep it hidden from Candiipup... << ... >>
Battle anthem: Ok, I know I picked a sensible gun instead of just throwing bullets around but... That Duke Nukem theme music really gives me an edge when facing down bag guys. :D
Location: I picked the Easter Island. Because it is remote, really far at sea. Zombie from the mainland could not sniff me from that far away or make it that far across the sea anyway. It is sort of small, so I could manage to wipe out all the zombie on it after a while. But still big enough to have sustained civilization, giving me resources to work with, and to sustain wildlife, giving me food. Also, it's fertile, I could grow stuff.
Stronghold: A welding shop. I'm a welder, so I know my way around one. I could make great barricades with all the raw steel bars and plates. It's just a shame that I can't weld without power.
Vehicle: It's the apocalypse, there is no fuel left. So I picked a human powered vehicle, also, bikes a very manoeuvrable. Plus, this one comes with a pedal powered motor, so I could go pretty fast if I charge it well. Furthermore, I could power small appliances with if if I tweak it a bit.
That is all. I have a rock hard plan prepared for a crisis that shall never happen.

that's right, the big game would be gone pretty quickly, but there are always seagulls and pigeons, and even if people thinks these two are like the rats of the skies, they are great food.
Yes, I'd be eating bird and fish pretty much all the time, but it's not like I have much of a choice now, do I? Can,t be picky.
And the AD&D manual is for the game Dungeons and Dragon, powered by one's own imagination, so it's endless entertainment as long as I can think up of new things.

See, I can't just count on stuff like that, I can't predict what will be available, so I have to make sure I use self sufficient and re-usable items. Hence a crossbow, I can find and re-use the arrows easily. I'd just lose the bb pellets everywhere after shooting them.
And your average collection sword is not sharp and not made out of tempered steel, if you,d try to use it, the blade would chip and dull very quickly.
And stop kidding yourself, you never trained to fight with a sword. =P

Well the best melee in the zombie filled world is a trench "KNIFE"!It was made during WW1 for easily stabbing downward through the helmet,penetrating the skull,destroying the brain.Then it could quickly be pulled out and it also has spiked knuckles attached for knocking back the foe without risking the fingers.
Well thx for the vote of confidence! And that's not all i do. I'm working out, ya know! I go out too. And the only reason most of my time is spent on the computer is because my sister had to join volleyball & cheer. & both organizations seem to like doing alot during the summer! It sux, not being able to go anywhere with the family. Oh & by the way, that's not the only thing i look at here! I look at weapons, dragons, stories, etc.
It's aluminum chainmail, I'll remind you. :) (yes, it exists.)
And I'm sure there's a way to carve a club out of a strong limb of hard wood.
Besides, smaller pieces of whole wood (I.E.: not cut into planks or 2x4) have more structural integrity.
But it's nice to meet someone who's serious about their zombie survival. :D

Gotta put my skills to use! Especially in such a dire situations.
And about the secondary weapon issue, what I'm mostly considering here is maneuverability.
Yes, A crowbar would do more damage and be more durable. But the thing is, it'S heavier, and we have to consider that we are not action heroes, we are not strong, to swing a crowbar as a weapon (efficiently) would be harder than it looks!
Furthermore, it's a last resort thing. I'm not meant to use it frequently, that's why I don't consider durability as such an issue, it only has to last me one fight. After which I could just replace it for safety's sake.
Thinking about it, a katana wouldn't be so bad. they have good reach, and they are relatively light for their size. The only issue would be if it's easy to unsheathe or not. (still considering one would have basic training with it :P )
Just gotta make sure your katana isn't actually a cheap piece of shit! :P high quality tempered steel, rather than low grade made into a sword meant to be decorative.
Because even though a decorative sword could be sharpened, the edge would dull pretty damn fast if it's low-grade steel.
Mind you. I could at least temper low-grade steel, but it's not as good as a properly forged sword from the start ^^
.....god damn I love talking about this! x3

Totally. x3 we think things through instead of just acting though because we didn't get killed by the pandemic :P
What I seem to be noticing in the way you talk, though, (correct me if I'm wrong) is that you seem to think the wooden club is really large. like a two-hander.
It's not, it's a small one, about the same size as, say, a nightstick....
Say... Why not just use a nightstick? it's built especially for that! And findable in any police department.
Wow, way to complicate things by picking something that seems simple :p
I think I might have to update my sheet.

That's what I have a gun for. The billy stick would just be to get out of a tight spot. to stun them and knock them back, so I can get back at range. That was my intended purpose for it all along.
I'd rather avoid the thought of killing zombies in close-quarters completely, it's too risky.

I wasn't betting on pain, more like just the actual shock messing with their head.
But you're exactly right about saving ammunition! That's where the remote island part of my plan comes in.
By carefully choosing this locale, the island will eventually run out of zombies. So there won't be a need for ammunition at all, afterwards. because no new waves will be able to come after the bodies are burnt.
And if we actually run out of ammo before the zombies run out, we can always consider making do with the crossbow. But if it comes to that, then yes, we'll also have to consider equipping ourselves for actual close-quarter combat, because a crossbow is longer to reload.
Then I'd probably consider a steel quarterstaff, it's well balanced. And we could add stuff to the ends to make it more lethal.

Why thank you. ^^
But I hadn't even thought about the living, you raise real good points too.
But if we need to fight them off, wouldn't we be better off killing them? AT this point, it's pretty much survival of the fittest.
Oh, but.... I thought of something today.
I have just found a huge, though not-so-crippling, flaw in my plan....
how the fuck do I weld without power?
Granted, we can still make damn good barricades with all the raw steel bars and plates.
But I really liked the idea of erecting solid metal walls x3

hehe yeah, rationing and conservation would come pretty naturally. But I wonder how they could recharge their generator, they must have had either a wind turbine or solar cells. Because relying on burnable fuel would be a big gamble, even if we try to conserve it.
Being able to find one would be a real boon.
A generator would be enough to power a welding machine. on it's own, They are large, power hungry machines, it has its own transformer to make the proper current and everything, we couldn't even plug it in... (the plug is as big as my fist)
But! With such a thing, we could use power tools, which would enable us to make much better barricades, because we could drill holes to bolt stuff in, and cut down bars to better sizes and use metal more efficiently.
And they're always the alternative of heat-forging metal. But that requires firewood and such.

Yeah, they only use I found for heat forging so far would be to like, heat and flatten both ends of the quarter staff with a hammer against and anvil to make a sharper end that hits harder.
Anyway, we can't really plan on finding generators either, much less solar cells or alternators and what not. We have to put ourselves in a state of mind where most anything useful will be already gone.
So far though. I think we have a lot of bases covered. :D
What do you say, partner?

that's why I bought a second, found it at a Goodwill store for like $4. I was pretty happy.
all the books I've gotten since this picture was taken were all half off, the local comic/game shop closed so they had a sale. I was pissed when I realized I had forgotten to grab the Dragonomicon >.< I looked at it and my brain didn't register that it was one I wanted. I was only looking for the books that looked like those. the "completes". I should take an updated picture of my books

then you should also note that a chainmail has a max dex of +2 and a armor check penalty of -5 plus you really cant sneek around quietly in noisy chain rings... (100 internets if you can guess my fave class)
on a final note I wont argue that 3.5 is just as good as pathfinder.... but I think we can both agree that both are better then that BS they call 4th edition... DX

(Yes I am a sneaky backstabbing owner of all things I simply allow you to carry for me in your pockets... 100 internets for you)
and I will give you that aluminum will be lighter so I will refract my previous statements and mark it as a chain shirt in terms of its inhibitions max dex of 4 and AC penalty of -2 but your still not lightly to be stealth past any undead.... those suckers make noise even under the thickest of grandmas Christmas sweaters...
also besides dice I would consider adding ear plugs to your inventory nothing claws harder at the nerves then the never ending moan of the nonliving clawing at the door of your welding workshop...

(thank you, I'd like to exchange these for a prize.)
True enough, I won't be very sneaky, but seeing how i'm approaching my survival from the "holed up in fortress" angle, that shouldn't be SO much of a bother.
Hey, you're good at this.
But ear plugs are actually something I can count on being able to loot from the welding shop when I first come in. it's a noisy environment to begin with.

(Takes your internets and hands you a book http://www.jasonbradbury.com/wp-con.....10/zombie.jpg) thank you for playing...
I have a simmlier plan but it involves hiding up in a mental institution..... heavily fortified easily to lock down has a courtyard in the middle of the complex surrounded on all sides by 4 story walls (that can be turned into a vary large farm) and its within walking distance of a wall-mart just in case we need to try a supply raid.... also can hold several hundred comfortably in case we find survivors... fully stocked food and medical storage....

true but you really shouldnt have to worry about most long term situations.... seeing as how once the body starts the decomposing process the undead will be little more then immobile fleashy skellingtons in a matter of weeks....but its the first few weeks that are going to be the hardest... that is when all the stupid people are going to be running like hell to get away and only managing to get themselves killed and turned... that is when the undead numbers are going to be the greatest... but if you can out last them you will find that surviving a zombie apocalypse is not as hard or scary as you think it is....
Well, due to the fact that heads are not very large, and the zombies have no brains, a headshot won’t be that effective.
It’s better to aim for the key bones, like the ankles or the spine, because that will cause them to cripple to the ground, unable to walk, and as long as you don’t step on the crippled corpses, then they are pretty much harmless

That’s
That’s a good point.
Thinking about that, the only way they could have lived there with only the statues as evidence, is if they used something less permanent for their homes, while using the stone only for the statues for some bizarre reason.
But if they didn’t live there, then WHO THE HECK MADE THE STATUES?????????
Probably aliens (possibly the same ones that made the virus, assuming the zombie apocalypse is started by an unknown virus, that was confirmed to have NOT been created by the US government)
