Using the intuitive and fluid Immersion RPG game system, the rules for Infected Zombie RPG can be easily adapted for any situation, and any game setting. Though this current incarnation is more slanted towards the modern day, the full rules can be easily used for fantasy, sci-fi, historical, or really any game you want to play.

The Immersion RPG system is halfway between a rules-light game and a rules-heavy game. So, you could say it’s Rules Medium! There is enough detail that your characters will never be the same as each other, no matter what career or path they pursue. There are also subtleties to the characters and rules which are not always available in a rules-light setting, but the system also retaining enough fluidity that the story never slows. It is ideal for quick-witted Narrators who like to improvise and let the characters attempt whatever they wish.

Characters in Infected do not have a particular class. Rather, they are people, with their own histories, skills, strengths and weaknesses. Their occupation may influence their skill selection and particular abilities, but it is not going to dictate which direction your character wants to go.

Real people advance their skills a bit at a time, slowly but steadily advancing their abilities day by day and week by week. As such, the Experience your character gains can be used to increase his traits in whichever way you wish. The higher the ability, the more the Experience cost, and the longer it will take you to learn.

Characters can advance in whichever way you want. You could learn to sweet-talk your way out of a fight, or get right in there and train yourself in the finer art of breaking faces – the choice is yours.

Want to change the game a bit? Want things super realistic and harsh? Or perhaps more heroic, with the player characters cutting through swathes of Infected at every turn? Well now you can. The Immersion RPG system has options to make it adaptable to your style of play.

Most rolls in Immersion RPG use 2D10 to determine actions (some occasionally use more or less). Successes are scale-able, meaning a higher roll is substantially better than a lower roll, rather than merely a win/fail resolution – e.g. if you hit your opponent well, chances are you’ll do more damage.

Your characters change and adapt as time goes on, and they live through their many harsh experiences. Only you can tell how these changes affect them. Will their morality drop out the bottom, or will they rise above it all? Will they do anything to survive, or is there a brink they will not cross?
