Zimple Zombie RPG
Created By: Ari Covert - Art By: Cynthia Covert & Ari Covert
This is a simple 1-page role-playing game
about playing a Zombie. Whether created
by powerful magics or weird sciences,
zombies have been a staple of fiction,
usually as fodder. This game lets the pcs
play the Zombies. This game presumes that
players are familiar with RPGs.
Zombies have 5 base stats (and examples),
they are:
Head - Looking, Listening, Smelling, Biting,
Moaning
Body - Crawling/Rolling without arms/legs
Left Arm - Clawing, grabbing,
Right Arm - Clawing, grabbing,
Left Leg - Walking, Kicking
Right Leg - Walking, Kicking
Character Creation consists of rolling 1d10
for each stat, the higher the better. The
higher numbers mean that more of that part
of the body is intact.
PC Mechanics: Everytime the Zombie wants
to do something, they must roll 1d10 and
get below that stat, to use it. Zombies are
dead if they can’t roll below any of their
stats.
Complex Actions: In order to do complex
actions like walking (which requires both
legs, as opposed to hopping which only
requires one), PCs (at the GMs discretion)
can roll once under the lower stat, to
simplify the game. Some actions may be
simply too complex for zombies (like using a
computer).
Combat: All things that zombies attack are
creatures or obstacles.
If a zombie is close enough to hit, if they
succeed a stat check, they do 1d6 damage

to the stat of the body part hit, plus causing
bleeding of 1 damage every round until
treated.
Obstacles are everything else. Since
zombies do not tire, experience fear, require
food, or breaks. Obstacles are a matter of
time not damage done.
Weak Obstacles (Ex: Glass/Light
Woods/Cloth): Take 1d10 rounds
Medium Obstacles (Ex: Heavy Woods, Light
metals, heavy plastics): Take 1d10 hours
Strong Obstacles (EX: Concrete, Steel):
Cannot be broken.
GM Running Humans: Humans have the
same 10s in all stats and roll the same as
zombies. Humans require food, sleep, and
experience to do things. Suggested
Penalties:
Hunger - 2
Lack of Sleep - 2
Lack of Experience - 4
Damage from Human Weapons:
Fists - No Damage
Knife/Baseball Bat/Club - 1d4 Damage
Bow & Arrow/Pistol - 1d6 damage from
distance
Rifle - 1d10 Damage from distance
Shotgun - 1d20 from distance
Optional Rules -
Zounds of Zombies - If you die you just roll
up a new zombie and become another in
the hoard.
Brainz are Delicious - Zombies can heal
stats by eating flesh or brainz. 1d6 points
per person eaten.
Contagious Zombies - If a person is bitten
and doesn’t die, they will become a zombie
in 1d20 hours.
