Outbreak is a zombie survival LARP run out of a hall and the surrounding bushland. Session 0 occurred with unique characters. Session 1 began with the characters who would continue through the rest of the campaign. Those that survived, that is.
Session 0
The players were split into two groups. A group of amateur searchers combed the woods led by an experienced hiker in search of a group of hikers who had gone missing. The professional characters began the game at the site of a dead body of one of the hikers. Soon after the two groups met, the dead body got to its feet and attacked!
The merged group than fled to a hidden building that turned out to be the top floor of a secret laboratory for Helio Corp where the zombie virus had been researched. In the end, the group managed to make it inside — only to be held at gunpoint by Helio Corp’s soldiers. Fade to black on those characters.
Session 1
The players began at a Helio Corp conference where a new medication was unveiled that could stop, or at least slow, the aging clock. The CEO came forth to give a prideful speech, moments before explosions and screams outside drew him outside with his bodyguards.
They returned shortly thereafter, only for one bodyguard to be found bitten. The CEO ordered his death, and one bodyguard shot the other, before he and his bodyguard fled for the helicopter.
The conference visitors then had to figure out what was happening and how to survive it. They met the Chief of Police who advised them to go to the police station where other survivors were meeting in the hopes of being picked up by rescue helicopters.
