So for those who are thinking of picking up this game, let me give a few disclaimers. • The main Books (Survivor/GM Guide) are simply NOT formatted well. It will be difficult to piece together how everything works. My advice: get your hands on the “Intro Manual Booklet” and/or “Starter Rulebook”. These present the basic rules in a FAR more user friendly format. • If you can find it, the “2nd Annual Volume Booklet” has a pretty detailed breakdown of a game session that is extremely helpful as an example of play. • There is not much online aid for this game tbh. It’s not a dead game, they still are releasing new game aids such as cards and tokens, but it’s very much a no one’s holding your hands kind of game. • The mechanics can get a little clunky if played straight by the book. I’d modify the game pacing to fit your table. For example, the game says GM should roll opponent checks. This is WAY too much dice rolling imo. I only have the players roll, and I use opponents to resolve success or failure narratively. Simplification of the rules is highly recommended in this game, even by the creators. This game has A LOT to offer a table, but it requires at least one person to really dig into the rules and cobble together the system, and I blame this squarely on the disjointed nature of the main books. This game is the most detailed Zombie Survival TTRPG out there I believe, but the books let it down. Good luck.
