Zombies in space!

[BatThumb]

Consider this my 'new player' gift to the board. I've noticed some of you seem to enjoy Zombie mania. Ok, so here is my idea for a game that because I am a nubie at this game someone else must GM. All I ask is that I get invited to play.


Story. A deep space colony ship is launched from earth to parts unknown. A crew is in charge of getting the ship and its 1,000 sleeping passengers to the colony world safely.

Unfortunately the crew have trouble when only a week away from reaching planet-fall the passengers instead of continuing to be in suspended animation end up in 'reanimation' as an unexpected chemical reaction kills them all off and then revives them as undead zombies within their stasis chambers. The crew must now fight for their lives as well as land a ship that is suffering system wide failures do to the roaming zombies.

The crew: Depending on how many players we can have some average 'professional' character types;

Captain: suggested NPC
Pilot
Medical doctor
Engineer

Other characters could be
mechanic/repairman
nurse
co-pilot
science officer
security
Plus any number of passengers that escape the stasis chambers.

What do you all think?

This can of course lead to the Sequel 'Zombie Planet'

This sounds like a deep space version of Paranoia. Sounds like fun though. Let me know if it ever "gets off the ground." ;D

Well I posted it 'cause I noticed an interest in Zombie games. Not really my cup of tea but I don't mind sharing.
