Creating Quests

GM: These are additional options for Franz to use to widen the possible quests it creates.

1. The local Vets Office is rumoured to still have antibiotics.

Problem:

• The zombies inside are silent — unnervingly so.

• The living infected have set up noise traps outside to lure scavengers.

• The “serial killer” infected are using the pharmacy as bait.

2. The settlement’s water tower is contaminated.

Players must:

• Climb the tower

• Clear out the infected

• Replace the filtration system

3. People in a settlement keep disappearing.

Clues point to:

• No forced entry

• No signs of struggle

• Victims last seen talking to a friendly stranger
  The killer is a psychogenic infected who mimics empathy perfectly.

4. The Wrong Kind of Footprints

Tracks around a farm suggest a zombie herd.
But the gait is wrong.
Players discover:

• A group of living infected moving like zombies to avoid detection

• They’re planning something

5. Babysitting Duty

A child shows early signs of psychogenic infection.

The parents beg the players to:

• Find a treatment

• Hide the symptoms

• Or smuggle the child out

6. Players must guard a settlement gate for one night.

Events escalate:

• A zombie herd

• A panicked survivor

• A killer pretending to be a refugee

7. A radio tower is still transmitting emergency alerts from before the collapse.

Players must:

• Fight through zombies

• Deal with a psychogenic DJ who believes the apocalypse is a “ratings opportunity”

• Decide whether to shut down or repurpose the broadcast.

8. A group of psychogenic infected has formed a support circle.
They’re trying to “manage their urges.”

They want the players to:

• Mediate

• Provide supplies

• Help them avoid “relapses”
  It goes badly.

9. A deranged survivor has chained up zombies and charges admission.

He wants the players to:

• Capture more

• Protect his “business”

• Or rescue his customers
  The whole thing is a disaster waiting to happen.
