Welcome to Zombietown. This isn't a game [yet], it's just an example/ruleset.
Basic Stats-
Action Points [ap]: Determines the amount of stuff you can do.
Toughitude [TT]: How manly you are and subsequently how tough you can be.
Badassery [BA]: How cool you look as you flip swords around and single-headshot zombies in the skullpan. Naturally, this is how good you are at attacks.
Street Smarts [SS]: How clever you are at knowing skills necessary to survive the downtown streets of Detroit- sorry, I meant post-apoc zombie land.
Survivor [ap] 3 [TT] 2 [BA] 2 [SS] 2
Rancher [ap] 3 [TT] 2 [BA] 1 [SS] 3
Responder [ap] 4 [TT] 2 [BA] 2 [SS] 1

In a Turn- A player can take as many actions a turn as he has [AP].
Move: [1AP] 1d10 chance of Zs-1/2[SS] Low:9,10 Med:7,8,9,10 High:5,6,7,8,9,10
Scavenge:[1AP] 1d10 chance of Item+1/2[SS] Small:9,10 Large:8,9,10 Suburbs:7,8,9,10
Rest: Restores [1AP] per # of turns rested. Can instead remove 1CS for [allAP]
Camp [Survivor Skill]: [2AP] +1 TT in square per camp action used. 1 camp action per person per square.
Hunt [Rancher Skill]: [2AP] 1d10 chance of Food+1/2[BA] Open:9,10 Forest: 8,9,10 Water: 7,8,9,10
Map [Responder Skill]: [1AP] +1 move in City Squares
Fight [Soldier Skill]: [1AP] Eliminate Z's in an adjacent square
Supplies-
Players can consume found supplies [water and food] to regain AP as a free action.
Combat-
When a successful Z check is made, Zs spawn. [Low:1d6 Med:1d10 High:1d20]
Zombies have no stats. They attack.
If the defenders have ammo for their ranged weapons, or have melee, roll damage+[BA] and subtract number from Z's attacking.
If any Zs remain, compare number to survivors [TT], Melee users first, then lowest [SS] to highest [SS]. If the number of remaining Zs is more than the defender's TT, he slays a number of remaining Zs equal to his [BA] and receives a Close Scrape [CS].
If Ranged weapons were used, make Z checks for the surrounding squares. This does not apply to the Fight skill.
Infection-
If a player has more CS's than [TT], he is Infected. Infected players have a number of turns equal to [TT]+[SS] until they succumb to the Infection. Do with that time what you will. CS's can be removed by resting or by being treated by the Medic skill. If a player chooses to hide an Infection, only those with a higher [SS] can detect that he is Infected. Infections are nearly impossible to be removed...

Brikwars Mode-
That's it for now. Comments? Anyone actually read all that? Anyone interested in playing a game of it? I suppose this is more of a "Zombie Simulation" than an actual game with a point.
