Well, if you light the gas directly and run away right after, you should be safe.

Now lighting the actual pump on the other hand....

Suggestions to Deon:

Add priest robes, sacramental wine, holy water and bible or holy scriptures to the churches. Also a trait called "Piety" that gives large increase in moral by consuming the sacramental wine and holy water, and reading the bible.

I really want to create a character called "Father Anderson" and go kill zombies with machetes. Then read the Bible to let their damned souls to rest.

As much as that stuff is, I think it'd be better if they were left nondenominational.  Maybe even just call them "temples" instead of churches, although given the setting, that could easily be confused for cult temples.

Or, y'know, a variety of religious buildings, to cover most of your bases.  Killing zombies in a priest robe would be pretty awesome.

Father Anderson, I see, I see. :3c

EDIT: AAAAAAAAAAAMEN

EDIT: Request to whoever likes: How about a police shield? You know one of those transparent shields policemen use when containing masses and so on. They might be found just in police stations, and provide defense for arms and torso at the expense of large volume.

Yeah, you should use it to bless your weapons and ammo. Having a blessed digestive tract will not help in a monster apocalypse. EDIT: Unless Whales or Deon decide to add Taco Bell.

Suggestion: negative trait: irritable bowels. Must visit a toilet when the trait is incurred or suffer a morale penalty. (I like Zombie Land :P )

I read some people use holy water and mix in some petals that never wilts and drink it as tea/medicine.

So what do the shallow pits actually do? Do they trap zombies or just hold them there for awhile?

Anything can fall into them, really. Most animals (squirrels, deer, rabbits) die immediately when they fall into a pit. I believe zombies can possibly die the first time they fall into a pit, and after that they will probably die. You can get out of pits, not sure if zombies can, but probably. Either way, pits are a great defense. If you find a shovel, count yourself lucky. I usually, if possible, make a 3-thick moat of pits around my house. Most nothing can get through.

Ohh, I see. Thanks, I just figured it was something like obstacles that slow down the zombies when fall into them, didn't know they actually killed them. That would have been good to know in my last game, my safehouse was continuously being barraged by Necromancers >.<

Holy water that affects enemies would just take off the realism of the game i think...
