Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Humans vs. Zombies, also called HvZ, or "Zomb" in some circles, is a modified game of tag that is played primarily on college campuses. It was developed in 2005 at Goucher College in Maryland, and has since spread to hundreds of schools across the United States and the world. While various schools have added their own twists and modifications to the game, the original rules are simple: one player starts out as the "zombie," and he or she must infect others and turn them into zombies by tagging them. Humans are allowed to defend themselves with Nerf guns, socks, and marshmallows, which stun zombies for fifteen minutes. The game is over when all the humans have been infected, or after all of the zombies have starved to death (if a zombie goes 48 hours without infecting someone or being fed by an ally, it dies). Three guesses as to who wins most games, and the first two don't count.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Stephen Colbert has declared the game to be the number one threat to America. The originators of the game have also made a documentary about it. | |

Axes at School | |
Humans vs. Zombies (Roleplay) / int_10cb9a31 | comment |
Axes at School: Naturally, considering where HvZ is mostly played, though it's downplayed by most games banning realistic-looking blasters. Melee-friendly versions take this literally, with Nerf swords and Axes being used, but this is banned at Goucher and several other schools for being too advantageous for the humans. | |

Abnormal Ammo: While socks and foam darts are standard across most campuses, places in which toy blasters are banned sometimes add other types of ammunition, such as marshmallows, puppy chow, bacon, etc. | |

BFS | |
Humans vs. Zombies (Roleplay) / int_834420aa | comment |
BFS: Standard-issue for melee-focused humans. Most melee-oriented humans will use the Nerf Marauder (which is just shy of four and a half feet long), but some truly exceptional humans will build custom swords up to seven or eight feet long. Of course, bigger swords, despite being made of foam, can weigh quite a bit; your average human at a melee-permitted school will either run with a rifle and three-foot-long one-hander, or a five-foot-long two-hander like the Marauder and a pistol. Or, in extreme cases, just one really freaking massive sword that's taller than they are. It happens. As mentioned above, though, swords are banned at many schools for overpowered-ness, and others ban swords in conjunction with guns; everyone seems to have their own opinion. It's inadvisable to mention this on the HvZ forums. | |
