    I’m suddenly imagining a campaign loosely based on The Last of Us, where a fungal plague sweeps across the land and turns everyone into fungal zombies. For some reason, a small percentage of the infected are able to retain their individual identities, and they band together to try and rebuild and to find some way to help their monstrous brothers and sisters, while simultaneously dealing with the hatred and fear of those who survived the plague and weren’t turned.
