The Waking Dead

A post-apocalyptic roleplaying game set after the dead rise and overrun the city. Players portray survivors who awaken in a hospital with no clear memory of what happened and follow mysterious dreams in search of other living people, while avoiding ravenous animated corpses and the dangers posed by desperate survivors. The set includes streamlined rules, six ready-to-play character archetypes, and an introductory adventure with a campaign outline. The scenario can be played in one or two sessions or expanded into a longer campaign.
