I'm pulling for Chad Coleman from "The Wire" as Tyreese, but I'm fully expecting the show to be cast with 95% unknown actors. Not necessarily "never acted before" types, but "yet to make their mark" types. I think that's probably a good thing. @MORTIS

In our first session, a huge zone of silence fell over part of Manhattan. To figure out where the center of it was, we used one of those sites that uses Google Maps to impose a nuclear bomb blast radius on a map. It turned out, totally unplanned, that the center of the region was very close to the apartment building a friend of ours lives in.

It's kind of creepy to look at some of the early locations, like the zombie bicyclist and think that Kirkman really might have scoped out the location. This is fantastic.

“This is a Google map that tracks all the events from issue 1 to 64″

That sounds like a spoiler warning to me.

We all work together and took over a conference room one Friday night. The buildup was that we were gaming at work one Friday night and when we done, we found we couldn't leave because an area around our building was cordoned off due to a zombie outbreak. We had to either get out of the interdicted zone or survive in place for six months. The coolest thing about it was how the GM used Google Maps to manage our escape. He used the overhead satelite views mostly, but whenever we needed to know details (Are there any zombies on this street corner?), he would switch to Street View. If there were any pedestrians, then they were automatically zombies. At one point, we were running from a horde of fast zombies and couldn't find a vehicle, so we decided to make a stand: "We've got to make a stand somewhere" "Let's use that building there." "What kind of building is it?" GM: Let's see. <Click on Streetview> Turns out it was a Budget rent-a-car! We found keys and a gun and got the hell out of Dodge!
