What reasons can you come up with for blaming the PCs for the Undead Apocalypse?
1.Demogorgon's Mechanical Flea


2. Forgot to lock the cemetary gates on the way out.


3. They broke a vial of blue fluid in a helix-tube on their way out of the bio-weapons research lab, accidentally or purposefully makes no difference.

4. A badly-worded wish.

5. They animated one zombie too many on desecrated ground.

6. Their last name is West. Any PC will do, all it takes is one. Bonus points if the PC is an alchemist.

7. They loosed infectious zombie armies in desperation during a war.

8. The players made one off the cuff comment too many last session.

9. They named a zombie.

10. They are free-willed zombies lonely for company.

11. One of them is Aberzombie.

12. They helped Taco Bell win the restaurant wars.

13. The cleric had a crisis of faith.

14. They did not search the morgue thoroughly enough. Or not at all.

15. They invented a cure for cancer, pushed it through the FDA via skullduggery and "had no problems during testing" (I.e., didn't test it out of respect for certain groups). Seems that there are side effects after all.

16. They made the wrong dragon mad.

17. Hastur! Hastur! Has...

18. Wrong ingredients in lichdom elixir.

19. They desecrated one burial ground/temple/religious structure too many.

20. "It's only a book. What harm ever came from reading a book?"


Pathfinder Adventure Path Subscriber

21. "Come on, I'm tired of being railroaded. With that many guards and quarantine signs up the GM must have hidden some great treasure in there!"


22. Didn't double-tap

Scarab Sages

23. Gotta pry loose that gem!


24. Drank the spoiled milk in the fridge.

25. Couldn't afford a Raise Dead spell, so buried their dead party member in the Pet Cemetary.


26. Buried the torchbearer in a shallow grave.

27. Broke open the cursed chest / other container.

28. Worked retail in the character's backstory.

29. In any modern game, agreed to start the campaign having lunch in a shopping mall food court.

30. Asked "what are you going to do now?" speak with dead or worse, contact other plane...

31. Purchased "zombie killing" ammunition as a lark.


32. "Sure we can take a break for a few weeks to craft magic items. "


33. "Whats the deity of undeath done recently anyway, lets just take it."


34. Botched plan intended to drive up the sales of holy water.


35. Klaatu... verata... n... Necktie. Nectar. Nickel. Noodle? Klaatu... verata... n(cough). Ok, that's it then! Wait a minute, everything's cool. I said the words! I did!


36. Poorly worded wish spell.

Liberty's Edge

36. Everything else is their fault, why change things now?
