Places of Note

The main plot of the campaign revolved around the encounters taking place on Argo Cruise Lines The Azure Queen, Houston, TX, the area on the coast of northern California, and northern Mexico. Although other cities, states, and countries might be mentioned, there were beyond the scope of the campaign, and considered non-essential to moving the plot along. A map was created to give the players a visual aspect of where their characters are traveling to and from. Individual towns and cities were not mapped out, and general information was given to flesh out the campaign. Most populations centers have been ravaged by the sudden advent of the human bodies re-animating after being deceased over a short period of time. Altercations would happen in cities and towns, as well as out in the rural of northern California. All of the party members were new to the area and would seek out those NPCs in each locale that best suited their character’s goal of survival. Human civilization has collapsed, and cities and towns are infested with zombies, madmen and cultists. The dead reign over most cities and towns of any size.
