If your looking for a cheezie and cliché zombie style game to play this has the rules and setting for you. The layout is wonderful and easy to flow as is the writing of the entries. In reading it seems that the writers are a little miffed about their place in their high school but other then that the game seems to work together blending the cliché with d20 game play.

This was an entertaining look in to the world of Zombies, with plenty of useful bits. Good for collectors of Zombie junk like myself, and also useful for a modern weird campaign with zombie apocalypto mixed in.

Blood and Brains

<br><br><b>QUALITY</b>: Very Good<br><br><b>VALUE</b>: Very Satisfied<br>

If you are a zombie fan and play d20 modern, go ahead and get it. It's good, and the price is right.<br><br> <b>LIKED</b>: I liked pretty much everything about it, and the story was pretty good as well.<br><br><b>DISLIKED</b>: Nothing worth mentioning...it was well worth the price. <br><br><b>QUALITY</b>: Very Good<br><br><b>VALUE</b>: Very Satisfied<br>

Hmmm. Zombie's are something I'm trying to do something clever with in my games at the moment. The shambling zombies of Romero fame are all well and good but I was looking for something with a bit more zing!

This product has certainly gone some of the way towards giving me that and also giving my players other areas to expand themselves into via the new feats.<br><br><b>LIKED</b>: It helped me to deliver more creative zombies, which was my goal.<br><br><b>DISLIKED</b>: Nothing much, it just didn't blow me away.<br><br><b>QUALITY</b>: Very Good<br><br><b>VALUE</b>: Satisfied<br>

A nice buy for zombie fans who also like the d20 system<br><br><b>LIKED</b>: Interesting new classes and lots of possibilities for what would otherwise be standard zombie-bashing fare<br><br><b>DISLIKED</b>: The fiction - would have been better served sticking in an adventure/scenario<br><br><b>QUALITY</b>: Acceptable<br><br><b>VALUE</b>: Satisfied<br>

A huge source of things for a zombie apocalypse campaign (and boy aren't those popular nowadays?!), or just a campaign that deals with zombies on a regular basis.

Good stuff here for players and GMs alike.

Lots of new occupations, and prestige classes for the players.

Loads of new monsters and ideas for GMs.

You have to appreciate the level of detail paid to this material, yet somehow it doesn't take itself too seriously (unlike another zombie product out there). <br><br><b>LIKED</b>: The new feats are straight out of "Army Of Darkness", as well as a few of the occupations (Y-Mart Employee).

Some really unique critters (TV Zombies?!), and some dastardly NPC classes (Bokor, Necromancer). Good stuff.

Critical hits for zombies? YAY! My players are gonna love inflicting those! Finally undead they can actually get a sense of hurting!<br><br><b>DISLIKED</b>: The artwork really turned me off. It's so cartoony and silly-looking (which may have been the intent as the product is firmly-tongue in cheek) that it detracts and distracts.

But that's really the only complaint I could muster! <br><br><b>QUALITY</b>: Excellent<br><br><b>VALUE</b>: Very Satisfied<br>

I wasn't expecting as much as I got from this book, truth be told. Oh, sure, it's got new classes, feats, etc. and it's all very good quality, as is quite common for RPG Objects. The REAL fun, however, is that MASSIVE zombie generation table in the back. You can probably create MILLIONS of different types of zombie with that sucker.<br><br><b>QUALITY</b>: Excellent<br><br><b>VALUE</b>: Very Satisfied<br>

Covers all the zombie movie basics, including some I'd all but forgotten. Zombie and horror movie fans will recognize the sources. and includes a far-fetched short story as well. Far-fetched even for the genre, really. Plus there's a nice critical hit chart for blowing off limbs, etc.<br><br><b>LIKED</b>: The occupations: Boy Scout, Jock, Mental Patient, etc., are a nice bonus, as are the huge list of zombie types.<br><br><b>DISLIKED</b>: The short story is well-written, but even for zombie movies it's far-fetched.<br><br><b>QUALITY</b>: Excellent<br><br><b>VALUE</b>: Very Satisfied<br>

This is probably one of the best Blood and __ supplements out there, and that's high praise indeed.

With great and genre-appropriate rules for shotguns, limb removal, with dozens of different sorts of zombies and good advice for how to run zombie games, this supplement is an instant classic in my book. It is well-organized and easy to read both on screen and on paper.

I have not playtested it yet but it looks extremely fun. AFMBE doesn't need a D20 version when there's Blood and Brains out there!<br><br><b>LIKED</b>: Good genre rules, good GM advice, well-organized.<br><br><b>DISLIKED</b>: Some more attention to handling PC death and the increased setup time of D20 Modern (as compared to more rules-light games) would help this terrific product.<br><br><b>QUALITY</b>: Very Good<br><br><b>VALUE</b>: Very Satisfied<br>

Totally awesome E-book. I hope this baby goes to print.

If you Like the Zombie Genre, you won't be dissapointed with this gem.

Great work!

Excellent product and a very enjoyable read. Michael Tresca really knows his zombie movies and his undead lore.

Far superior in style and game mechanics to Eden Studio's All Flesh Must Be Eaten, even with their d20 Modern appendix, which wasn't supported in their subsequent AFMBE products.

And we finally get a d20 Modern "Stoner" occupation!

Sometimes a game setting is just fun. It's like popcorn at a movie where you don't care about the plot because the main man is cool and the heroine is hell on wheels and cute in heals.

This is Blood and Brains. 66 pages of everything known about zombies told in playable comic style. This is quality content that is put together well with pleasing art and numerous bookmarks. There are new occupations, classes, weapons and (of course) zombies... lots of zombies. The book also includes a long zombie tale to get the creative juices working on the next zombie campaign.

If you don't have a library of zombie material already, this is a great one stop shop. If you do own a large collection of d20 Modern zombie guides, then you already know everything you need to hunt zombies. Even so, this guide is a nice all one package of zombie info and done with high quality layout, writing and art.

This PDF has everything I look for in a good product. All PDF products should attempt to hit this mark for quality.

Never let it be said that it's a bad idea to put out free stuff. I downloaded Mike Tresca's free zombie supplement from his own website a long time ago and much of the material has been recycled and refined into this fine product. I was pleased to see 'Tresca's' wry wit and knack for imaginative gaming meet up with the good folks at RPGobjects.

This PDF is a HUGE improvment on Tresca's older work and worth every penny, lest you be tempted to track down the freebie. The layout is a bit thick in places and I found the screen version hard to read under certain conditions. The green over the short story included made for hard reading. I recommend getting the print version. The story deserves it.

As far as mechanics go, there seem to be some problems with CRs and custom zombies. As I haven't playtested it, I won't make any solid statement, just a fair warning. The zombie critical chart (yes, zombies can take criticals in this ruleset. You'll need them) is quite good and especially sadistic GMs may apply it to PCs as well.

Some of the equipment has oddball stats and is redone from the MSRD. Keen observers will note that the Remington 700 from the d20 Modern Handbook is not a shotgun, but a bolt action rifle. This is the most glaring error in the PDF, where it is referred to as a shotgun. Oh well, I guess zombies don't care that much.....

The new rules for shotguns are nice and workable for genre purposes.

The interior art is excellent as John Longenbaugh delivers his trademark stuff that fans of Darwin's World know already.

The work as a whole is true to its subject matter. It's gory, gross, funny and a little cheesy in spots. Of course, a supplement based on B horror movies should be all of those things.

If nothing else, Tresca takes one of gaming's tiredest monsters, the zombie, and breathes some desperately needed fresh unlife into its stinky corpse.

Despite some minor flaws, this is an excellent work.
