ZOMG-bies in RPGs (etc.)

A wide variety of RPGs represent zombies in one way or another. Upon request I could supply some information about how zombies are or could be represented in various generic and/or rules-lite systems. The following are a few of the better known representations:

D&D Zombies - from d20 v. 3.5.

All Flesh Must Be Eaten - Wikipedia entry and reviews.

World of Darkness Zombies
  • Zombie: the Coil - IIRC Old World of Darkness fan supplement.
  • Promethean: The Created - New World of Darkness gameline. Prometheans aren't exactly zombies or golems, but sort of Frankenstein-ish monsters. Wikipedia entry here, review here.

Lovecraftian zombies:

Penny Arcade - The Emporer's Littering Agenda
