Upper Left Corner/UDnD

UDnD is the latest crazy idea from the people who brought you Upper Left Corner.

Are you tired of the same old Urban Dead games? You have your 50 AP, you waste it all doing things, but in the long run, if you didn't log in for that one day, would it really have mattered? Wouldn't you rather be doing enormous feats in the game that you cannot normally do within the confines of your AP? Well now you can!

UDnD could stand for a lot of things, Urban Dead and Dragons, Urban Dungeons and Dragons, Urban Dead and Dungeons. The creators never really came up with a definitely thing that it stands for. The important idea is that it is a mixture of Urban Dead and Dungeons and Dragons. The proper way to play this game, of course, is within Urban Dead itself.

Yes, you heard that right. You would be playing Urban Dead, in a Dungeons and Dragons game, from within Urban Dead.

Character Creation

Well one of the first steps in any DnD style game is to create your characters. This can be a very complicated procedure in some games. Not in ours! Since this is all in the Urban Dead universe, there is no such thing as "stats." Characters in Urban Dead merely have their XP, Levels, and Skills. We would be un-true to our Urban Dead heritage if we were to have more than these.

There are two steps in the UDnD character creation process. You can do them in whichever order you prefer. Personally, I think picking your skills should come before picking your inventory (wouldn't want to get 10 shotguns only to not have a high enough level to use them well), but that's all personal preference.

Picking Skills

Find yourself a 6 sided die. Roll it three times. Add them together to get your total. This is your level. As in the game, for each level, you get a skill. You have the standard Urban Dead skillset to choose from (both human and zombie) with one exception. If you are playing as a human character and your level is above 10, you automatically get a modified headshot skill. Rather than taking away enemy AP, this gives all of your attacks a 20% chance for a one hit kill (if they connect).

Picking Inventory

Without gold or any other sort of money, there is no real currency to "buy" items with in Urban Dead. That's why you have to resort to looting in game in order to get items. Wouldn't that make your AP a basic sort of currency? That's the idea behind your initial inventory in game. Your DM (Dead Master?) picks some amount of AP for all characters to use to get items before the official start of the game. Rather than making you roll for a find percentage for every AP, each item has a certain amount of AP necessary to find it.

So take your initial AP and use it to "buy" items from the following listing:

Standard Urban Dead Items:

Pistol - 10AP

Shotgun - 15AP

Pistol Clip - 5AP

Shotgun Shell - 5AP

Flare Gun - 10AP

Axe - 10AP

Crowbar - 10AP

Knife - 5AP

First Aid Kit - 5AP

Necrotech Syringe - 20AP

Flak Jacket - 20AP

Generator - 20AP

Fuel - 10AP

Spray Can - 10AP

Cell Phone - 10AP

Book - 1AP

Newspaper - 1AP

GPS Unit - 1AP

DNA Extractor - 10AP

New UDnD Exclusive Items:

Grenade - 10AP: 50% chance to knock down each zombie in the area, 10% chance to kill each zombie. Roll the die twice for each zombie, once for the knockdown, once for the kill. Yes, they can be killed but not knocked down!

Spoon - 5AP: Same stats as knife, knife skill applies to spoon too. Just cause The Tick would think it's cool.

Guns come half filled with ammo unless your DM is nice.

Playing the Game

You have your DM, you have your players, they have their inventories and skills. Now you're all set to go out into the wonderful world of UDnD!

Remember to keep your gameplay accurate to the Urban Dead world. Players have their own in-game AP they need to watch out for. Everything takes turns, shooting, reloading, walking! There's no real rules to play the game by. Since most percentages in the game are a multiple of 5%, that makes D20s the perfect die to use! If you have a 65% change to hit, you want to roll anything from 1 - 13. Each point is 5% and you want to roll less than or equal to your percentage!

Our Horrible Bias

Yes, you might have noticed that generally this game is skewed towards survivors. We here at UDnD would like to apologize for this. Feel free to make the game more zombie friendly if you would like. It would be a tough task to pull off, especially if you're all zombie characters when you try to play. But be my guest, give it a try. If it's successful, well, this is a wiki after all!
