This is a wiki for Carrier Group, an Atomic Highway play by post campaign about a road trip across zombie USA and Canada.
A bunch of ordinary, if exceptional, survivors by happenstance end up with either the salvation of humanity or its final doom landing on their laps. A counter virus capable of killing the zombie virus, dangerous in its current strain but coming with information about a still populated facility in Canada where it could be turned into a safe form and mass produced. But safely carrying the counter virus to the destination would take a trip from the Mexican border all the way to the wilds of Northern Canada.
The initial Z-virus outbreak happened only four years ago. The modern day landscape and features are still there, although changed and overrun by zombies.

Zombie fights[edit]
There is no need to say that the characters are going for headshots when fighting zombies. That is the assumption. And a headshot on a slow moving shambler takes just the usual single success.
Headshots on fast zombies though – two successes needed.
And in combat, multiple successes over the needed amount are a good thing. Weapon damage is multiplied by the number of successes. So two or three successes will one-shot most opponents.
Works in reverse too, but dropping to zero health is not an instant death for player characters, although it is definitely serious. A character at zero health has Tenacity + Toughness rounds to live. A successful use of Heal skill will stabilize a dying character.
