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
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.
