Also watched Wyrmwood: Road of the Dead.


Also watched Wyrmwood: Road of the Dead. Entertaining, but not sure if it wants to be dramatic horror, or comedic horror. Better at just being comedic. And despite having a truck that runs on zombie breath, there are no real car chases. Some nice zombie twists though, with telepathic control of zombies, an explanation why they might be fast or slow, and of course, their use as a fuel source.

    it was interesting but i think it's budget constraints lead to some oddities. felt like there were scenes set up that never really materialized such as begging the question of a real car chase. they also shunted some stuff off to the hinted at sequel. i think they were just stuck editing together the scenes they could afford to shoot.

    That sounds right. Hopefully they get that sequel and a bigger budget.

    The zombie apocalypse is defeated by capitalism.

    I didn't consider it necessarily comedy, just... Australian.

    I feel like there was a quirky zombie horror comedy called UNDEAD a few years back. If there's a tonal trend in the sub-genre there, I might have to check this out too.

    James Brigham you remember right, 2003.

    http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0339840/

    it's written and directed by the spierig brothers, who also did the near future vampire movie daybreakers which was also fun. i haven't seen their 2014 time travel movie predestination yet but it's on my list.

This is my gaming circle minus my ACKS players. I am such an asshole. Since they're in the big city now, the players really wanted to know if there were any magic weapons for sale. ACKS ain't 3e or 4e though. There is exactly one magic weapon for sale. I rolled randomly to see what it was and... ...it's a cursed -2 sword. So I told the players there's a weapons dealer/fence who's looking to get rid of a magic sword he's gotten ahold of...cheap. Only 6,000gp when usually a +1 item would be 10,000gp. So far they are not suspicious. They're going to be so pissed at me. I can barely contain my excitement.
