For those that Were curious about one of our more popular LARPs Empire: Rise of the Gladiators The web site is www.empire-rising.com. Always looking for new forum members and new territories.

I have recently learned that there is another Aftermath so I am going to put a text version of it up so people will get an idea of what it is . We have been up since 2007. We still havent got our site up currently due to downtime, but it is www.aftermath_larp.com. It is a Zombie Survival Horror. Here is a small portion of the rulebook. Enjoy!

Black Ops. Internal Military Document 95601-RV

CLASSIFIED EYES ONLY

 

In the past, terrorists have used all forms of weapons, doing damage from minor to

severe. Now they have started using a more sinister means- a weapon that not only

works on its intended target, but also on anyone in the area, including medical and

rescue workers. It is a weapon that is unseen, but does more damage than a single

bomb. It is almost unstoppable. That of which I am referring to is a biological weapon.

We have received word that an unknown terrorist cell has acquired an unknown amount

of an experimental recombinant DNA virus that if used properly could let a person with

paralyzed or damaged tissue regenerate and heal the ailment. As of right now, in the

wrong hands, this virus could be re-engineered to do the opposite and leave itʼs victims

debilitated and cause damage to the neural tissue.

We have intelligence that a portion of the stockpile is located in this town at a location

we will call Sector Alpha. We must retrieve or destroy this sample immediately before it

gets to where itʼs going. This is a matter of the highest national security and should not

be taken lightly. There is no guarantee that the terrorists have not already altered the RVirus

and may have tested it. This R-Virus and itʼs infectees should be treated as Class

A Biohazards. The only way for the virus to be transmitted and infect its target is

through skin or blood contact. Although it is not capable of becoming airborne, it may

be dispersed in a vaporous form and may cause infection through the respiratory

system.

We also have intelligence that there are other parties interested in this virus and have

received the same information that we have and may already be en route to intercept

the virus. Your orders are to terminate any hostiles that stand in the way of your

objectives and to get back to the rendezvous point after completing your mission. We

will seal off the perimeter so as no one can get in or out.

In the event of a biological outbreak, we will quarantine the area until all viral infection

has dissipated. If you are in the area while the quarantine is in effect, you are on your

own. Do not expect a rescue.

End Report.

Each scenario will be graded according to what category you fall into. You must finish

the scenario to receive your grade and ranking. Multiple game scenarios can be ran at

one time.

Survivor

 

 

You are one person versus the world, trying to make it from one safe point to the next

without dying. For the most part, it is a Lone Wolf type game play. You might be lucky

enough to find other survivors; its up to you whether or not you stick together. You never

know who you can trust.

Extraction

 

 

Teams off three must meet mission objectives and get to the extraction point before the

time runs out. Once time runs out you are stranded and considered left for dead.

Mission objectives can range from rescue, recovery, demolition, or search and destroy

type missions.

Apocalypse

 

 

Death, destruction, and mayhem surround you. Survival is the only option as the world

around you is being eaten alive. Free for all game play with Zombies, Survivors, and

Teams.

Outbreak

 

 

You have been captured and placed in a centralized location. You or one of the people

around you are infected and must figure out who before it becomes a viral outbreak and

starts to spread. Weapons are scarce to what you find.

Search and Destroy

 

 

Find your target and destroy it before it destroys you. Doing so will help earn you items

that may help in future missions.

Reanimation

 

 

You are now a Zombie, you have only one thing on your mind, and that is to eat.

Friends, foes, everyone becomes a target. Your purpose is to infect more people, and

grow the ranks of the undead.

2

 

 

You are a Zombie, one of the walking dead; a shell of your former self, you know

nothing but hunger, and have the need to feed on fresh meat. Your only goal is to feed

your hunger.

• You are scored by how many people you infect and turn into zombies.
• If you are shot three times in an appendage, such as an arm or leg, you lose that

appendage, if you are shot once in the head you are dead.

• If you are shot 5 times in the chest or stomach areas you are dead.
• If you lose either or both of your legs you must crawl.
• If you lose the ability to attack you are dead.
• Once you die, you will re-spawn in 120 seconds. If you are becoming a zombie for the

first time, mark where you died and go grab your zombie weapon (two small L.A.R.P.

daggers). If a character dies while wearing armor, then that armor is still treated as

what it had left while the player was alive.

• Zombies can play dead, but must react if shot while down. Zombies cannot pass a

fresh body unless there is a threat (someone shooting them while feeding.

• Zombies can recover one point of health by feeding on a victim for one minute.
• Any character that dies will be a zombie for the rest of the day.
• You must make contact with your "claws" at least three times on any part of the

players body to infect them or enough times for a kill. The infected player must then

use an antivirus capsule to either cure or prolong their infection. It will take

approximately 3 minutes for an infected person to die and another 120 seconds to

become a Zombie.

• Any player that dies will awaken a zombie after 120 seconds, no matter how they died.
• If you are a zombie, and you live for more than 5 minutes and have fed at least once

you be come a Necromorph,you will be scored in the Reanimation Scenario.

Necromorphs

 

 

You have died, risen and fed on the living, you have started to regain primary function

like how to open doors and use weapons.

• After the first five minutes Necromorphs may use melee weapons and after 10

minutes, use a gun, you are faster, and stronger than you other undead counterparts,

but share the same weaknesses.

• If you die as a necromorph, you start life over as a Zombie once again.

3

 

 

You have had enough smarts, or luck, to live without becoming one of the undead.

Survivors are made up of various different professions. You only have what you can

find to defend yourself with, be it a gun or a lead pipe. Even if you find other survivors,

you are ultimately alone. Death, betrayal, survival: they all start becoming part of your

everyday life as your conscience takes a back seat and your instincts kick in and

survival at any cost becomes your only priority.

• If you are part of a Black Ops, Mercenary, or Company Extraction Team and you do

not make it to the extraction point in time you become one of the survivors.

• Don't forget to eat or use medical supplies to regain health. You may recover your

health before you are injured five times.

• After three hits from a zombie you become infected, but infection may be slowed or

cured if you find the right supplies.

• Food restores one point of damage, Gauze restores two points of damage, and first

aid spray will heal you fully.

• If you sustain 5 points of damage you are dead.
• If you are shot or stabbed in the head by another survivor, you are dead.
• If hit or shot twice in the same limb you will lose use of it until you recover your health.
• If you become infected in any way and do not find a cure, you will die and become a

Zombie.

• Protection such as Kevlar Helmets, Bullet-Proof Vests, S.W.A.T. Armor, Riot Shields,

etc. can help you sustain more injury than normal.

• There will be certain areas marked as safe points where Zombies will not be able to

access. Take advantage of these while they last. You may store items in the safe area

for future use if you have a container. If you survive these items may be used in the

future unless otherwise noted.

• If you survive you will be ranked according to the Survivor Scenario.

You are part of an elite special unit that is sent in with specific orders; your primary

objective is to complete these orders no matter what the cost and to get out as quickly

and sometimes quietly as possible. Under special circumstances additional objectives

may come into play. These will rank from optional to mandatory. You will go in armed

with whatever you bring with you; this includes your fire arms and medical supplies. You

will encounter missions that range from, but are not limited to Search and Destroy,

Bodyguard, Detonation, Deactivate, Information Retrieval, or Target Extraction. There

may even be times where the mission will be a combination of these parameters.

• Follow your Orders and Survive and you will be ranked accordingly, miss your

extraction time or fail to complete your objective, and you will be left for dead as a

survivor.

• Don't forget to eat or use medical supplies to regain health.
• You may recover your health before you are injured five times.
• After three hits from a zombie you become infected, but infection may be slowed or

cured if you find the right supplies. At times you will be issued one Red or Yellow

Antivirus capsule. The Yellow Antivirus is a retardant that prolongs the effects of

becoming a Zombie, giving you double the normal time before you become a

Necromorph while the Red Antivirus will remove the virus completely.

• Food restores one point of damage, Gauze restores two points of damage, and first

aid spray will heal you fully.

• If you sustain 5 points of damage you are dead.
• If you are shot or stabbed in the head by another survivor, you are dead.
• If hit or shot twice in the same limb you will lose use of it until you recover your health.
• If you become infected in any way and do not find a cure, you will die and become a

Zombie.

• If you reach your extraction point and a member of your team is infected you will not

be extracted as long as that person is still infected.

• If the extraction is overrun with Survivors or Zombies it must be cleared before

extraction can occur.

• If your teammate dies then he/she will awaken as a Zombie after 120 seconds. You

may replace fallen team members if you are lucky enough to run into a survivor, as

long as you don't try to kill each other first.

In game certain items will restore your health and heal your injuries, the following is a

list of Items and the correct usage to restore your health.

Food

 

 

Food is normally found in the form of a candy bar, beef jerky, hot dog, etc. and must be

consumed to restore health. It must be completely consumed for it to count. It will

restore your health by 1 point.

Gauze

 

 

Gauze is very handy when you lose the function of a limb, it will restore the limb back to

normal. If used for general purpose it will restore your health by 2 points. It must be

applied correctly for it to be effective.

First Aid Spray

 

 

First aid spray will heal you completely, but will not get rid of a viral infection and does

not restore immobilized limbs. It must be applied for five seconds to the wounded areas

and is reusable until it runs out. They are few and far in between. So use them

sparingly.

Antivirus (Yellow)

 

 

This yellow capsule will make the effects of the viral infection slow down but not stop.

You will have double the normal time you have to become a Zombie. It cannot be

double dosed. It does not restore any health.

Antivirus (Red)

 

 

This red capsule will kill the viral infection and stop you from becoming a Zombie. It

does not restore any health. They are issued to teams by their employers to go into the

infected zones.

Antivirus (Blue)

 

 

This blue capsule will not only kill the viral infection but also restore your health

completely. If you are lucky enough to find one of these, make sure you use it wisely.

 Cannibalism

Zombies can restore HP by feeding off the appendages of a dead or fallen individual for

one minute. The only reason a zombie or necromorph would bypass a dead body to

feed on is if something was hostile. Up to five Zombies may feed on one body.
