In just a week, their rule will be cemented when the princess's cousin is crowned Queen. Clearly, the galaxy is doomed. Except...some say the princess lives. And those believers sent a crew to find her and bring her back in time to stop the coronation. The problem is that finding her? Was the easy part.

Your traditional murder mystery - with a twist. Instead of having a murderer, you have a necromancer that has raised zombie hordes!
Description:
ZMM is a one-shot game in which you have to discover the necromancer before the zombies kill everyone. There will be clues and discussions with the GM to figure this out. Your characters will be pre-generated, as this is a short party game, but you will get to 'bid' on valuable items that can help you figure out and defeat the necromancer at the end...or save yourself if you're the necromancer. Your character can and possibly will die throughout the game, very similar to Werewolf. Trust no one. The rules will be explained at the beginning of the game, and it's very easy to learn.
