NEON ZOMBS of the WASTES
A NEON ROAD CHARACTER EXPANSION
RULES HOOK: Not everyone survived the nuclear
fallout at the end of the cold war, and many who
didn’t survive . . . also didn’t die. These are
the zombies of the wasteland, rotting walking
corpses struggling to hang onto whatever humanity
that is left within them.
BECOMING A ZOMBIE: There are two ways you can play
as a zombie in Neon Roads. If you are wanting to
play as a zombie from the beginning, you can
simply create a character as normal while
following the few changes listed here for
“Creating a Zombie From Scratch.” Your character
was most likely too close to a bombing or fallout
radiation during the war and turned into a zombie
early on. The second way to play as a zombie is to
turn into one according to the rules per page 18
of the core rules.
CREATING A ZOMBIE FROM SCRATCH: If you are making a
brand new zombie character from scratch, you’ll
follow the same rules for character creation
EXCEPT when setting for Stats, you only get 6
points to spend instead of 7. Your health begins
at +30 instead of +20. You also automatically must
pick the FALLOUT CHILD as your Origin.
CREATING A ZOMBIE FROM AN EXISTING CHARACTER: If
you’re creating a zombie from a character who had
a Stat drop to 0, then after the character “dies”
rolls D2 per stat, adding that much to each stat
at random. Also add +10 to your max health. This
is the radiation kicking in and bringing you back
to life with extra power and strength.
ZOMBIE TYPES: All zombies have a type.
choose a Zombie Type you become. The type offers a
boost to one stat and special rules.
ZOMBIE TYPES
+1 CRIMSON RAGE ZOMBIE: You might be slow
ST moving, maybe even a shambler, but the
radiation in your brain makes you easily
angry. All of your melee attacks deal +2
damage. All melee rolls of 1 deal +4 damage.
+1 PINK RUNNER ZOMBIE: The radiation seems to
DX pump through your arms and legs, making you
nimble, able to run, able to climb walls.
All incoming H-DMG is halved, rounded down.
Any tests involving climbing or jumping are
-1.
+1 PURPLE BLOAT BRAIN ZOMBIE: The radiation has
WI pumped into your brain, causing it to expand
against your skull. As a result, all
incoming W-DMG is halved, rounded down. You
can make a ranged psychic attack with Wi
that deals 2D6.
+1 YELLOW DANCER ZOMBIE: The radiation is
CH constantly buzzing in you, making it
impossible to stay still. Your macabre
movements mesmerize enemies. -2 on all
Bravery Checks and -1 to all incoming DMGs.
ZOMBIE ROT: Unfortunately, all zombies have
horrible side effects from the over-abundance of
RAD in their system. It makes their bodies rot.
Therefore, after every completed area, you lose 1
health as rot continues to set in. You may make
either a Wi test to medically treat yourself or a
St test to stave it off. If you pass, you hold off
the rot and don’t lose the 1 health.
ZOMBIFIED APPEARANCE: Additionally, the rot eats at
your body . . . your face. Your horrific
appearance means you aren’t welcome in cities. You
must make a Dx check PER AREA in a city. If you
fail, a member of the RAD POLICE (Enforcers of the
Department of Disease Control) appear. You must
then make a Ch test. If you pass, they let you off
with a warning. If you fail, they kick you out of
the city, driving you to any area on the
outskirts. No matter where you are, you must
always make Ch tests to purchase anything or use
services. If you fail, you are thrown out of the
business.

LOSS OF HUMANITY: The rot and the death-like state

you are in also means your brain is wearing away .
. . at least the part that houses your humanity.
ANY time your Willpower hits 0, you must make a Wi
or Ch Test. If you fail, reduce the tested stat by
1 to a minimum of 1. If both Wi and Ch are at 1
and you fail this test, you become a mindless,
flesh eating zombie who only craves to kill and
eat. You can negate the effects of losing a point
from a stat by consuming Radiation Pills right
away.

RAD and BECOMING A MUTANT: Continue to keep track

of your RAD as a zombie character in the same
manner as you would with a normal character. If
you would lose enough Stat Points to become a
Zombie (per page 18 of the core rules), follow the
rules for Loss of Humanity above (you become a
mindless zombie unless you have Radiation Pills).
If your MINIMUM RAD hits 20, you will become a
mutant as per the core rules.
