The Zombie Job

The Zombie Job is a scenario designed by Rodney Thompson for the Dusk City Outlaws tabletop roleplaying game. This Job is meant to be played over the course of 3-4 hours and involves stealing sorcerous tome from a funeral parlor full of zombies before it can be cleansed of its heretical magic by the Church and falls into the custody of the City Watch.

Some of the challenges facing the crew include:

  • Swarms of reanimated dead, who are trapped inside the funeral parlor

  • A quarantine perimeter set up by the City Watch

  • The priests from the Church of the Silver Judge, performing their Cleansing rituals

  • Rival thieves out to retrieve the magic tome for their employers

  • The City Watch's explosive contingency plans to stop the reanimated dead from escaping into the city
