Hi, thanks for your questions!
TL;DR: These are more like guidelines than strict rules. 🙂
Character creation is optional, so you don’t have to play as yourself, but you can if you’d like. It’s always interesting to see who chooses to play as themselves! In our test sessions, most players went with this option. During the character creation phase, the rules allow you to more or less mirror your real-life abilities. Your actual skills can be translated into potential skills in the game, and the rule set is designed to be as flexible and adaptable as possible for any Game Master (GM).
The setting is usually chosen by the GM in agreement with the players, based on locations that everyone knows well, such as cities or neighborhoods. Whether playing online or offline, these locations can be agreed upon in advance, so they don’t affect the balance of the game. Of course, this is just a suggestion— as we figured players would like to chase zombies in neighborhoods they are familiar with! However Google Maps or real maps can also be used to help set the scene for the adventure, making it easy for the GM to prepare and for the players to follow along regardless if they are on home turf or not.
