Basic rules for a zed scenario. Wanted to run them by you guys before I actually planned out a full-scale game.

--Zombie Rules
Approximately half the players will be zombies.
The zombies may run, jump, hide, whatever. They can even talk, as long as they do not in front of human players and stay in character.
Headshot rule. But since actual headshots are a bitch, each zed wears a tin plate on their front and back. Two hits for death, anywhere else doesn't count.

Upon being killed, the zombie falls "dead" for a half minute. They then walk approximately one hundred feet away from the humans and are "alive".

To infect a human, the rule is two hand touch. Both zed and human will be rooted on the spot for 5 seconds. A fellow human can mock "pull off" or shoot the zombie during this time. If not, the zombie kills the human and "feeds" for one minute. The new zombie goes to the nearest referee for a set of plates. They can also use this time to get a drink of water, store guns, etc.

--Human Rules
Humans will be divided into several categories depending on the scenario.
Typically, it will be civilian, military, and wildcard faction. Police may supplement or replace one depending on the situation.

-Civilian
These people are the majority. They are allowed pistols, shotguns, and other non-automatic weaponry. They get 60 rounds.
Persons using multi-shot shotguns get ten bursts and thirty additional BBs.

-Military
These players are very few in number, typically ten or less, but start in the same general area and pack more firepower. They are allowed any kind of weapon. They start with 150 rounds and a single grenade of their choice, hand thrown or launcher fired. Police are similar, but are not allowed to use grenades.

-Wildcard
These guys can be anything from crazy civilians to PMC factions.

I recently had the pleasure of playing at Lanterman Auditorium.
There is a second story projector room on one side, and the room is angled down to a stage.
The room has rows of movie-theatre style chairs with fold down seats. The stage area is raised roughly 3 feet off the ground and one can access a system of 17 back rooms behind it. Opposite, there is a three story structure, bottom having audio control, second a projector room with spotlight, and third is attic and roof access. The structure could be accessed from the lobby via staircases on the left and right.

Normally, we'd have a full skirmish with automatic weapons, but the vacuums we use to clean up weren't available.
As a result, the only weapon used was a spring powered L96 (shot 470 w/.2). We devised a scenario on the spot:

The sniper and spotlight operator would sit in the tower, while everybody else sat in the the rooms behind the stage. The lights were all killed. Our objective was to make it up to their tower, or at least the base of the stairs. The 150 or so feet between the stage was at an upwards slant and covered with aforementioned chairs. Initially, one could also use the stage exits at each side, but they were later disallowed as they lead straight into blind spots. People had to go straight off of the stage.

The spotlight had an adjustable aperture. It had to be set to the smallest initially. When a person was caught in it, they were allowed to enlargen it by one size. Smallest was about the size of a basketball, biggest would be roughly 15 feet in diameter.
They could only turn it on for ten seconds at a time, with two second intervals in between. The light could only swivel so far, and the edges of the auditorium were blind spots.
It was so dark, that you could not sight anything with the L96 unless spotted by the light.

Doesn't sound too hard, right?
