First time bringing a general back, hope I did ok at least, though I admit couldn't think of a better topic/question (got dinosaur horror on the brain) and I didn't change news/book club topic.

Going to be playing in a DG campaign set in the 1970s. Anything out there that I can reference to get a good idea of what the USA was like in that time period? I keep having classic noir shit pop into my head despite that being the 20's or whatever, and all I can think of is Vietnam, disco, and piles of cocaine.

I wanted to ask you anons, what game would be good for a Resident Evil setting and theme? My game group is a mix of experienced TTRPG players but most play D&D. I suppose playing D&D would be easy but I am trying to find an alternative. I was recommended: All Flesh must be eaten, Genysys with the fanmade RE supplement, Savage Worlds Horror, Delta green or Twilight 2000 with tweaks. Even Dread. Which game would be fairly thematic and also easy to teach a group of people willing to learn? Maybe one that is not too dice heavy but dice would be fun. Most likely for a One shot game session not long term. I have ran games before but only for D&D 3.5 and 5th ed, as well as Pathfinder 1e. So I would have to learn the system myself too. A game that lets them play like a regular person and/or agent against zombies and supermutant abominations like in the game with puzzle mechanics. Resource management too. Thank you.

Also goddamn, having been around Delta Green long enough to see Caleb Stokes and how he does things has actually put me off another TTRPG I've been meaning to look at, Red Markets. Though considering what that's about, I don't think I'm missing much since with his track record of stuff I've seen, it's just going to be him bitching about current politics and shit with all the subtlety of a sledgehammer.

Honestly, with the small talk earlier of AFMBE, what are the better zombie survival horror systems out there? Or hell, what are some good experiences with AFMBE/other systems like it that people here have had?

Well, we've been hunted by an eldritch mosasaur, if that counts.

>brainstorming potential character ideas for upcoming game >get a pretty nice and terrible background/origin idea >tfw can't help but think the overall character would work better as a lady Would it be weird to play a female character in horror games if I'm a dude?
