You know that I'm giving you feedback on your ideas because I hope that you'll get benefit from it and also because I know that you'll respond to my input with clarity so I can enjoy the development of the concept, don't you?

I know, it sounds creepy, but I hope you like it.

Definitely don't think that I'm opposing you on your concept.  If you live near Dayton, Ohio, I'd be glad to come play in the Halloween Beta launch of Zombielayers.

You've got a great concept on your hands.  As I said (I think I did)  :ds: should codify your rules because zombies are popular.

I do have concerns about the game past lvl 10, but I only express them because I'm hoping that t does become a full-fledged game that spreads wildly.

I also think that ZS could be crunched down into a 4-5 page PDF supplement that would be consistent with :ds: and, since popular trends seem to say that zombies are sexy (yuck), it's a good idea.

Don't worry infini, I know that. Like I said, I like getting feedback; after all, I even asked for it. I'm sorry if I'M giving you the impression I don't appreciate your feedback, that was not my intention.

Thanks for the invite, sadly, I reside in the province of Qu?bec in Canada.

I'd eventually like to make ZombieSlayers into an "official"  :ds: supplement eventually (if I can bring myself to finish it :P ). Though in the state it is in, it might end up more as a 10 or 12 pages pdf... I guess I have rules that are still a bit too overcomplicated for the  :ds: norm and could stand to be simplified some more, especially if I'Mm aiming for a 4 pages pdf.

Empty? Can you guys see what I write in my posts or is there some sort of forum bug that makes my posts blank?

If I understand you correctly, Kalajel, it sounds like you'd have trouble keeping ZS down to an appropriate level.  I totally understand, because most :ds: PDFs are 4 pages or less. 

I think that you can squeeze it down, no problem.  I know you're smart enough.  Keep in mind that there's already a firearms supplement to build on. 

I just hope that you can get your ZS supplement certified.  To do so would be something like becoming a "made man" in the mafia (for lack of better examples).  :ds: might not want to enter into a contract with you.  I know that you aren't overtly trying to get a place in the group with a focus on getting a share in the business, but :ds: might have their good reasons to keep it all in the house.

Still, I think you've got a great concept.  I think it's a merchantable concept.  It would be very wise for :ds: to either bring you in or at least give you credit for your creation and write an agreement that allows them to take advantage of your work.

Heck, there was a facebook app called Zombieslayers.  :ds: should jump on the media trend, if they've got a smart guy like you who is willing to contribute.

He might have tried to edit it, but hit "quote" instead?

Well, I wanted to wait until DS4 before releasing Zombieslayers, but since it seems DS4 might stay in publishing limbo for a little while longer, I think I'll release it now...

Enjoy guys!
