Default Zombies

I'm starting a zombie game soon and looking for content I can add.

I have:
Horror
Zombies
Zombies day one
War of the Dead(a Savage Worlds setting/campaign which will be the core campaign

Anything else significant? Were there any dedicated zombie pyramids? There were some horror ones, I think.

Pyramid issue:

The Dead reign series by Palladium has good ideas too.

Looks cool. Not for this game but I have some new ideas when I get back to Nordlund.

Palladium, though. Haven't been a fan of anything they have done since TMNT. Is it any good?

I would also recommend any of the books of the All Flesh Must Be Eaten RPG by Eden Studios. It covers all possible genres of the Zombie RPG phenomenon, some of which I honestly had never heard of before. It's quite impressive how versatile the genre can be.

Well, the system is the one you already know (with clases and levels and so) and the book organization is not the best.

That said there are very good ideas and specially book Seven: In the face of death and books 2, 3 and 6 un the series are good reads with lots of content you could use. PDF are on sale on drivethrurpg.com now and then.

Possibly GURPS After the End or GURPS 3e Undead? Or GURPS 3e Voodoo? There is the necromancy-focused setting for Yrth.

GURPS Magic does have a Zombie spell amongst the expanded Necromancy college.

ATE, definitely; forgot to mention that one. I got most of my templates from there, cut down to 100 pts. plus Clergy and a journalist. I want it to be relatively realistic, walking dead level. It will start pre-plague.

Not planning any magic at all; if I do it will be subtle. Secret Magic, possibly subtle divine stuff if someone plays a priest.

No adventures, right?

How much content is there for a modern non-supernatural game that isn't in GURPS Zombies and ATE?
