Last week we had our first playtest of "No More Room in Hell", the new zombie rule set that I'm writing for Iron Ivan Games. The rules are based on Doctor Merkury's "Where Heroes Dare!" pulp rules. Players create Survivors that will have to make their way through the zombie apocalypse. The game will include extensive campaign options that will show the wear and tear that a Survival Party suffers from repeated encountes with the living dead and with unfriendly survivors. 
Al searches a building and "finds an explosion in the distance". HA!
Doctor Merkury gets stuck in a tight spot between multiple Zombie Hordes. 
"Do you have any rocket pops?"
I don't want to give too much away at this point, the game went pretty well, and we had a lot of fun. The playtest definitely showed some of the things that still need tweaking and gave me some new ideas as well.

I'm a LOOOONG time zombie fanatic and I've really been working hard to try and make this game encompass all the things that I've wanted to see in a zombie game and I'm hoping that zombie fans will REeeeALLY dig this book, it's going to have a lot of flavor and zombie fans will hopefully have a smile on their face when they read this one. I'll keep you updated on the progress. Happy Hunting!

Very cool. I will post my OWN photos accompanied by biased report for my side of the evenings event!
ReplyDeleteStill need a 15mm Chipper/Shredder for your table.

Didn't know this was in development, sounds *very* tasty indeed. I'm glad you're touching on all those aspects that *should* be in a Zombpocalypse game too, especially party attrition.
ReplyDeleteAwesome looking table too! You know, if you guys want some more playtesting once things get a bit more finalized, my group's good to go. We've done it before, just let me know, we'd love to do it...
