Top Down or Portrait?

Will be post-apoc setting with undead and goodies like that...think Resident Evil or Dawn of the Dead and you are in the ballpark.

No rush though, I am extremely busy for the next 3 months and probably wont kick off until Oct or so.

Though as a previous polling survey guy... it's often a very desireable thing to force people into uncomfortable choices to get some more useful results!

As far as modern campaigns, I'm about to start an RP lite Modern Post-apocalypse alien invasion / plague world. Been looking around for some of the great art... I'm having a lot of fun drawing this up. I may play it with a projector (if I can afford it) projecting downward on the table... but maybe not. I'm enjoying what I'm finding so far... will be eager to make some requests in the future!

Hmmm, that sounds interesting, perhaps we should talk some more. I have not settled on why the world is why it is, but alien invasion or a plague is not out of the picture just yet.

Here are some examples of top-down figure tokens:

Would love to... hit me up on AIM or I'll message you later tonight. If you'd prefer PM or another thread or whatever just let me know!

I've only seen one of the RE movies, Apocalypse. So I guess more zombies is what you're looking for, more gore and guts.

As Steel Rat mentioned earlier, I use portrait for PCs and mostly top-down for NPCs and monsters.

So I use both.

Which do you prefer to use?
