Zombie World: A Card-Based Tabletop RPG of Zombie Horror

Created by Brendan G. Conway

A card-based roleplaying game about survivors fending off the dead and struggling to live with each other in a zombie-filled world.

Latest Updates from Our Project:

Comms Advantage Card Added
almost 6 years ago – Fri, Jul 20, 2018 at 01:58:28 PM

Another day, another stretch goal, another card added to the Kickstarter Exclusive pack for Zombie World!

All backers at the $50 Full Enclave level will be receiving the Comms advantage card—a brand new benefit that your enclave can start with or earn during play!

The Comms advantage gives your enclave the ability to easily keep in touch with each other, even as they spread out on missions...but perhaps more importantly, it lets you contact other groups of survivors, finding new allies and resources amid the zombie-filled remnants of civilization. Of course, sometimes, you’re going to find people who see you as little more than a target to be plundered…

And as always, the caravan continues onward—Refuge is still a ways out! Our next stop is…

At this broken down old building, the caravan will find out more about one of its members, giving you new Past, Present, and Identity cards you can mix right into your core decks for character creation! Stretch Goal Contents All backers at the Full Enclave ($50) level will get all the cards in the stretch goal pack!

So far we've unlocked: 

  • The Caravan enclave (2 cards) 
  • The Heavy Vehicle advantage (1 card) 
  • Alex Procyon population (1 card) 
  • Celebrity, Instigator, and Radical Identity cards (3 cards) 
  • The Comms advantage (1 card)

And there’s plenty more to come!

Rules Update 

Thanks to attentive community members (thanks Aragone!), we caught a few errors in the rules text available to you through Update #1. We’re making sure those are updated as soon as we can! These rules are not the final version, and likely will look pretty different when they arrive at your house in the box, but they should tide you over for the time being, with the print and play version.

At the moment, you can find a temporary, graphic-less rules document in the same folder, containing the required fixes—specifically, a completed Advantages section, and a whole new section all about what happens when a player’s survivor dies. We hope to get a fully laid out version to you by Monday!

The Zombies March Ever Onward 

Thank you all for your continued incredible support! We’re so happy to keep adding more and more cards to the stretch goal pack, and we’re excited to think about new options to make the Kickstarter even better for all of you. As always, please keep sharing and talking about Zombie World!

Three New Identity Cards Added
almost 6 years ago – Thu, Jul 19, 2018 at 10:35:49 AM

 Yet another stretch goal down, and this one unlocks three more identity cards for your game of Zombie World!

All backers at the $50 Full Enclave level will be receiving the Celebrity, Instigator, and Radical identity cards—a new Past, Present, and Trauma to expand your character creation options!

Each card will introduce brand new moves and options, and slots easily into the existing decks. The Celebrity card has you reveal that you really are that celebrity you’ve looked like this whole time, while the Instigator card sets you up as someone who causes fights in the enclave (whether or not you are involved), and the Radical card has you trying to circumvent all the old rules of the world before Z-Day, from the nature of property to how punishments are doled out.

And our caravan’s next destination is revealed—the WMGP news studio, where our caravan hopes to find some useful equipment!

If we reach this stretch goal, we’ll be adding a whole new Advantage card to the Kickstarter Exclusive pack—another tool that your enclave can find to increase its chances for survival. 

Stretch Goal Contents

The Heavy Vehicle and Alex Procyon Added
almost 6 years ago – Wed, Jul 18, 2018 at 01:37:25 PM

Day two, and another two stretch goals unlocked! You are true survivors!

All backers at the $50 Full Enclave level will be receiving the Heavy Vehicle advantage—perfect for representing a tank, or an armored up bulldozer, or bus laden with side-mounted chainsaws!

When you build your enclave, you’ll have a predetermined list of possible advantage—but any advantage can be acquired by any enclave during play, so they’re all useful for your game of Zombie World!

 We also unlocked Alex Procyon—badass survivor of the ShadeCorp Laboratory!

Alex is a new ally or member of the population you can include in any Zombie World game. Alex might be a great hand to have as a friend—or a terrifying enemy. And always keep in mind the weird shit Alex might bring along...

Finally, we’ve found our caravan’s next stop after ShadeCorp: a mysterious mansion!

At the mysterious mansion, our caravan will find out more about one of its members, giving you new Past, Present, and Identity cards you can mix right into your core decks for character creation!

Stretch Goal Contents 

We’ll be putting a full listing of all the new cards added to the Kickstarter Exclusive stretch goal pack in these updates. All backers at the Full Enclave ($50) level will get all the cards in the stretch goal pack!

So far, we have unlocked: 

  • The Caravan enclave (2 cards) 
  • The Heavy Vehicle advantage (1 card) 
  • Alex Procyon population (1 card)

And there’s plenty more to come!

A Zombie-Heart-Filled Thanks 

Thank you, again, for your outpouring of support. We’re so glad that so many of you are interested in Zombie World, box and cards and playmats and all! Please tell others about the game, and share it out—spread the word! The zombies are here to stay!

The Caravan Enclave Added
almost 6 years ago – Tue, Jul 17, 2018 at 02:45:43 PM

Woohoo! Thanks to the support of amazing backers like you, we unlocked this stretch goal in 7 hours, and we’re still going strong!

First of all, this means that all backers at the $50 Full Enclave level will be getting a whole new, Kickstarter Exclusive enclave—the Caravan, a moving convoy of vehicles, crossing the broken and ruin-strewn roads of the world before them. A bit of Mad Max, a bit of Resident Evil, if you please!

The new enclave will come with both new cards—the two special moves exclusive to the Caravan, and the card with the specified choices and options you’ll need to build your Caravan enclave.

Next up, our convoy is going to cross a bridge strewn with military vehicles—and if we reach that stretch goal, we’ll be adding one as an Advantage to the game!

Furthermore, looking down the line, our convoy will cross the path of a ShadeCorp laboratory, where they might find a whole new Population member to add to the game! Let’s see how quickly we get there!

Thank you all for our interest in Zombie World, and stay tuned—this ride is just getting started!

And as one final note—the rulebook in the dropbox linked in Update #1, where we have all the Print and Play files, has been updated! So go check out Update #1 and take a look!

Zombie World Funded!

Rrr. Rraaerrrragh. RRRRRRnngggngh. GGhhRGGHHRRlllgglr.

Rrg.

Translated, for those of you who don’t speak Modern American Corpse:

We funded! Thank you all, so much, for your incredible outpouring of support! We’re so excited that we’ll get the opportunity to bring this game to your tables!

Zombie World has been 4 years in development, with many different stages and forms, and we’re so proud of the version we’re bringing to you today. We have every confidence in the gameplay and its ability to produce dramatic, cool stories. In the game's final version, with the box and the cards, it is going to be gorgeous and functional. We can’t wait to bring this game fully to you!

But wait! There’s more!

Because we’ve funded, we have our first stretch goal coming up, at $7,500!

In the zombie apocalypse, not everyone hunkers down in a specific location...

All our stretch goals will follow the course of our convoy as it tries to reach Refuge. And if we hit $7500, then our convoy will hit the road!

 So stay tuned, survivors! And, as always, thank you so much for your support!
