Looking for Heroes Unlimited 2nd Revised or Dead Reign games.

I have been my groups default GM, for Rifts, for 3 decades.  I am burnt out on Rifts.  I am running all the games I currently want to run... plus one.  I am seeking Heroes Unlimited 2nd edition Revised or Dead Reign games.  If the Dead Reign game is more like the Walking Dead, that would be awesome, since dealing with zombies in Dead Reign is more than difficult.  I currently have a game on Fridays 6-10 pm est, Thursdays probably 7-11 pm est, Wednesday 7-11 pm est if enough players speak up, and every other Sunday 6-11 est pm.  Any other time, long as it's not before 3 pm est and doesn't run past 3 or 4 am est, I would be good for.
Is Dead Reign the one where the undead can see people's life auras?
They can see ppe, better at nite, and sense ppe (like if your a floor or two above a zombie, depending on floor thickness, it could sense you and then will start moaning).  That combined with the overly strict combat rules for trying to shoot a zombie in the head, is why some Dead Reign games are 'Walking Dead' style.  Meaning the zombies can't do either of the two previous abilities, pretty much.
Ah yeah. I remember reading that book at some point - Never ran it, but I remember trying to figure out how you could avoid a zombie like that! I also remember reading how they just lay dormant until someone comes along.  Ever play "Beyond the Supernatural"? I ran that several times as my Palladium horror game.
A good scary game is rare.  Never got to play in a BtS.  I was in a Hero game that was also going to be BtS but the GM bailed when, his real friends he wanted in the game didn't want to play that type of game.  That was had a real unique feel to it.  Having heroes and "darkness" in a game is a very balancing effect.  The heroes automatically know they aren't "the schznit" and have to kind of tread lightly while still trying to help people.
I distinctively remember running a "Leprachaun in the Hood" game using Beyond the Supernatural, lol.
Was also in a game, that didn't start sadly, where the players were going to be agents for that secret government organization from Hellboy.
The funny part about my love for GMing Heroes Unlimited is I have very limited knowledge of actual comic book characters. I've seen the Hellboy movies though, so I get that reference.
Roll20 needs a friendslist feature.
