More Zombies – timing is everything…
Earlier this week, I finally finished World War Z, the masterpiece psuedo-history book by Max Brooks which recounts the ‘history’ of a worldwide outbreak of ‘Zombie Plague’ and it’s effects on mankind.
It’s an excellent book – highly recommended (although if you wish, you can always wait and see the upcoming movie, with a screenplay written by J.Michael Straczynski – he of Babylon 5 fame).
So, it was excellent timing for Two Hour Wargames to bring out their all new updated version of 
AllThings Zombie – Better Dead Than Zed – a must buy PDF.
Now, I know that there are many out there that don’t like Zombie games, but I must admit to being a huge fan.
With this purchase, plus the recent purchases of Ambush Z and Apocalypse Z, I feel another Zombie special show coming on…especially since my last zombie special podcast episode is one of my most popular downloads!
World War Z is a great book,but check out the audiobook; it’s slightly abridged, but read by a full cast featuring Mark Hamill, Alan Alda, Henry Rollins, Carl Reiner, Rob Reiner, and Max Brooks himself. A great listen, and I highly recommend it.
Thanks Glen – I’ll have a look for it
I’ll second Glen’s recommendation – the Audible version is top-notch. As you probably know, you can listen to a short sample on the Audible page (link: ) – Larry
Hey Neil,
Great to chat with you at Salute. World War Z is awesome, have you read Max Brook’s Zombie Survival Guide? Some top tips for preparing for Z-Day. You have also been referenced in my latest blog entry (not that anyone reads it!)

Great to meet you – what’s this? You’ve actually painted the minis you bought at Salute? That’s a very poor show. They should spend at least 12 months laid down in a box somewhere to ‘mature’ before painting! 🙂
Neil.
Hey,
Could you include some information about Better Dead than Zed in your next podcast? I am having a difficult time finding any information on it, and since I know nothing about it, that is a problem.
I am about halfway through WWZ, just need to find the time to finish it.
I’ll try and give it a quick once-over, but I’m hoping to fully-feature it in a future episode.
Too many rulesets and games to review! 🙂
