That is a very cool concept. Please keep us updated!

Able to understand humanity and the mutation, these smart undead were instrumental in humanity’s extinction. When the bombings began, they knew to find safety below ground. When remnants of humanity hunkered into shelters, it was these zombies that were able to sabotage the defenses. These undead were identified by their signature bright yellow eyes. For that reason, they were given the classification: Bright Eyes.

This week I'm working on the Quickstart guide for my #ttrpg Undead Paradise, a game about zombies who have regained their sentience and are now navigating a mutated world long after humanity has fallen.

Below is the Undead Class: Bright-Eyes. An undead that retained its intelligence.
