‘The Walking Dead Universe’ RPG Kickstarter Will End Before The TV Series
Hey Carl! The Walking Dead Universe RPG on Kickstarter is in its last days—a zombie apocalypse apocalypse, Carl!
The Walking Dead TV series shambles on. It has outlasted government officials, the NFT craze, and more. And despite this, it’s still perhaps best known for the memes that, like their inspiration, refuse to die. It’s reignited a love affair with zombie apocalypses. Which is great, because the Kickstarter for the new RPG is going amazingly.
Though, unlike the series, the Walking Dead’s Kickstarter is actually coming to an end. At press time, the Walking Dead Universe RPG had raised more than $500k of their $24k goal. So, astoundingly successful already. The campaign is full of Kickstarter exclusives and stretch goals that have unlocked for backers. If you’re hoping to snag some of these, now’s your chance.
The game itself is being made in partnership with AMC Networks, Free League Publishing, and Genuine Entertainment. And you can check it for yourself right here!
The Walking Dead RPG Comes to Kickstarter in March
Free League has officially launched the Walking Dead Universe RPG. Free League, who have also made Tales from the Loop, Mutant Year Zero, and the Alien RPG, have partnered closely with AMC and the creative production team. Including Chief Content Officer of The Walking Dead Universe, Scott M. Gimple and Head of AMC Networks Publishing Mike Zagari, who worked with the design team to bring inspiration from the unrelenting TV show and upcoming spin-offs. But The Walking Dead Universe RPG promises to introduce “new story elements” as well.
In The Walking Dead Universe Roleplaying Game, players are challenged to enter the unforgiving, post-apocalyptic sandbox and learn how to survive and thrive in this new world order. Pushing the boundaries of the survival genre, each group can tailor their RPG experience to suit their own interests and play style.
Expect the stress and stakes to be high. Boasting a new spin on Free League Publishing’s award-winning Year Zero engine, players must not only hone their physical skills, but deeply explore what makes them tick – confronting how the hardships of this world naturally impact what they’re capable of, in the best and worst of times.
So get ready for zombies Walkers and perhaps, if you’re lucky, a few Texas Rangers as well.
Carl!
