Hello to all you zombie friends,

I've been to the ocean last week, and to remenisce about childhood days I was looking for crabs, and sea stars. I found none. No live ones, that is. Looks like the Northsea is pretty much dead these days.
Anyway, I found the pincer of a crab, and an idea struck me.

There is a minor adventure hook for you to use. Give me some feedback - I know it's just a crumb of an adventure.
As with many b-movies the title screen/poster is evocative of a thrilling story, but the content lacks some.

Take care!

With the right atmosphere, that is delightfully creepy. And funny. Or you go full "Evil Dead 2" mode, and play it purely for laughs: Zombie crabs scuttling about underfoot tripping people, disembodied pincers swinging around and latching onto noses and earlobes, brightly colored goo squirting out of the shells when you squish one...

Definitely a good one to build up - save the giant zombie crabs for the second act, building up to the source of the problem. You could dress this out with Giant Skeletal Crab Warriors - extra tough giant crab skeletons... which look just like the zombie ones, really.

All we need is to squeeze in Giant Water Termite Zombies.

Oh I would personally stick to creepy; set it along the coast, foggy and overcast most evenings and nights, strange noises heard, people disappearing, strange wreckage and tracks along the sand...

Actually, I may indeed pick this up and run with it if you wouldn't mind Lars.

Yeah, run off with my ideas.

I'm going use it as an introduction to the revised and enhanced edition of my Undead Dwarf Massacre module. But since rarely any two executions of the same idea are identical it'll be no problem, anyway.

Share your adventure with us, when it's finished.

Take care!
