Atomic Zombie Apocalypse, Part I

This post and a couple others will be a notes for setting up an alternate Mutant Future campaign as mentioned last post in Different Mutant Futures. The collapse of civilization just happened (or really is still happening) sometime in the late 1950's or early 1960's. Technology will be limited to the era and the ruins are fresh and smoldering.

Intro
Civilization didn't really end in atomic fireballs and the clouds of radioactive dust that choked the world. The end of civilization came shambling and gnawing out of the charnel pits and burning ruins. Something strange in the first wave of bombs caused the dead to return to life as horrible burnt shambling zombies. Any attempts of the faltering civil defense network to maintain some semblance of order were overwhelmed by hundreds, thousands and even millions of atomic zombies.

Character Creation
PCs in this setting have survived the initial rain of atomic bombs sometime in the late 50's to early 60's just weeks ago and are struggling to find a safe place where radiation and the seemingly endless hordes of Atomic Zombies can be held off.

PC's will start out aware there was an atomic war and if they haven't seen Atomic Zombies themselves they are aware other people claim they exist. It is common knowledge civil defense has failed, fallout is dangerous and some places might be safer.

Player Characters should start off as Normal Humans following the rules of Pure Humans except they are not resistant to mutation as spelled out in the Mutant Future rules. Such characters will also have a +20% bonus to their Technology Rolls and will not need to roll to figure out mundane items.

Determining starting equipment for PCs in the Atomic Zombie Apocalypse should be haphazard as PCs are harried and bedraggled survivors of a world in ruin. Players will be allowed 1d6+4 equipment rolls from among the tables as they wish. All PCs will start barefoot in pajamas unless they roll-up other clothing; WW3 was a surprise.
