"DEAD SCARE is a tabletop roleplaying game by women, about women and children killing zombies in McCarthy-era America. It's based on Apocalypse World by Vincent Baker, and combines subverted 1950s American idealism with a blood-spattered zombie apocalypse.  It began when President Truman was the first public target of a Russian bio-weapon the Russkies designed to turn people into flesh-eating zombies. Everyone watched it on TV that night, and nothing in the good ol' US of A will be the same ever again." Remember that zombie game I wrote for two years ago? It's finally up on DriveThruRPG!

DEAD SCARE: What I Learned

DEAD SCARE: What I Learned

On February 16th, 2015, I launched a Kickstarter for DEAD SCARE, a 1950s, feminist, fascist-punching, zed-bashing tabletop RPG by Elsa S. Henry. Today, almost two years later, DEAD SCARE is out to the public. It’s been a long journey, I added a business partner in Brian Patterson, and I’ve learned a lot during the process.

Tabletop Gaming meets Girl Power with Monarch and Dead Scare!

Tabletop Gaming meets Girl Power with Monarch and Dead Scare! @explodingrogue @criticalplay

I’ve written recently about my foray into tabletop gaming, mostly courtesy of my 11 year-old son. A great place to discover new games, I’m learning more and more, is Kickstarter. It’s where I discovered Eagle-Gryphon games, for instance. With Kickstarter, you’re not only getting a glimpse at games in the making, but you help make them happen. What can be cooler than that?

I recently came across…

There’s still ten days to go on this project, and if they get to at least a thousand backers or $15000, I get to write a post card for the stretch goals!

DEAD SCARE - An RPG of blood-splattered white picket fences

A tabletop RPG where you play the women and children fending for themselves against zombies and the McCarthy regime in 1950s America.

Check out this Kickstarter project involving one of our members! Here's a little more information from the KS page:

DEAD SCARE is a tabletop roleplaying game that explores an alternate United States in the early 1950s. It's Powered by the Apocalypse and combines subverted 1950s American idealism with a blood-spattered zombie apocalypse. It began when President Truman was the first public target of a Russian bio-weapon the Russkies designed to turn people into flesh-eating zombies. Everyone watched it on TV that night, and nothing in the good ol' US of A will be the same ever again.

...

Playsets in DEAD SCARE focus on the women and children who survived this event, and it follows them as they make their choices to build a future for themselves. The skills and backgrounds in the playsets reflect a variety of lifestyles, socioeconomic statuses, and gender roles. However, much of the expected traditional bedrock of society has been repurposed and overhauled to counter against the hunger of the zombie menace.

There's also a free preview PDF you can check out to get an idea of what to expect from the project!
