Well for those of you who don't know what d20 is it's the gaming system used by DnD (dungeons and dragons).
The idea is basically to survive in a zombie ridden city, fend of various zombie attacks, I'm currently mapping out the CBD of Adelaide and marking points of interest.
I'm basically starting from scratch, except a few resources and references from the d20 Modern system and Urban Dead, so I'm going to build the human classes from the ground up, create feats and skills for both infected and humans.
I'm going to incorporate the boss zombies from L4D, to add some mix to the game play instead of just facing off against hordes of relentless zombies.
What I'm hoping on creating is a campaign module set in a city, I'm currently working with my hometown of Adelaide.
{MORE DETAILS LATER}

It's all very messy right now, so I've come searching for other DnD/d20 enthusiasts who share a L4D and zombie passion. I could do with some help with this so if you're keen on lending a hand PM me or post something in here.
that's all for now.

D20... why D20?

I think that D20 will ruin the fun... just like in other D20 game (D&D is the only one that can be fun with it... and well... for how long?)

I've played a zombie game with the Vermine rule (vermine is a french game taking place in 2037 where insecte, rats and thing like this has mutated and vegetation has taken over civilization).

The system is realistique so you die quickly.

At least the white wolf system could be great

Also, whitewolf and vermine don't use the class system (you choose your skill and thats all)... Wich is better for a game where you play a normal human and not a hero like in D&D or lord of the ring.

That what I think, but I'll wish you good luck in your project even with the D20 system ;)

In truth I'm not sure, depending on how in-depth I go with it. I think for starters just set out the basics then delve deeper and add more detail and what not.

But as soon as it's ready for testing I'll put all the things needed up here in PDF's

lol, read/research before you talk :P I'm using UD as a bit of a ref like the survival idea, etc.
d20? DnD (Dungeons and Dragons)?

No click involved, only dice

I like to concept design, but I hate the nitty gritty.

I've a bit of experience with D&D.

I'd be happy to throw out some ideas.

Excellent! I'll keep in touch, or vice versa.

I like to concept design, but I hate the nitty gritty.
Don't worry I LOVE the nitty gritty, especially doing the background research of layouts etc. Give me a buzz on Xfire if possible {account name = crownsoffury} or you could email at one of these ADDRESSES (http://mixedmedia.110mb.com/contact.html).

Sorry :P alot of people have shown interest, but not many people have asked about helping. This is seriously not a one man project.

Zombie D20 is easy to do with D20 Modern and the D20 Apocalypse book. There is even a campaign setting and rules for a Zombie Apocalypse. Pretty much anything you want to do in a "modern day" setting you can do with D20 Modern quite successfully. I have had a Resident Evil Campaign going on for some time, the 3 surviving players are all members of the same U.B.C.S. team.

Oh, I have both but haven't read through them in great detail.... I'll check that out then see how it looks, I'll make some alterations if need be. Mainly increase the zombie movement and attack speeds if they're slow and add the "boss infected" from L4D.
Do you mean the D20 Modern Core Rulebook?
