New RPG Roundup: ‘GM Emulator’, ‘Micro Zombies’, and More

Quirked Lands – 5E

The Quirked Lands are a set of mostly flora and weather that have been magically influenced. They can be used to add texture to a world, creating interesting encounters during overland travel without relying on monster encounters. The provided mechanics are 5E-compatible.

This anthology includes 12 types of Weather. Each of the three full versions contains explanations of what causes the effect, quest hooks, obstacles, a unique monster, relevant rewards, how to transplant the effect, how it fades or why societies clear it away, and more. The 9 minis include a cause, obstacle, and reward.

Micro Zombies – Micro Player

It all began when the portal opened to hell, a mistake made by scientists trying to create inter-dimensional teleportation technology. What came through was a germ, a germ that raises the dead from their graves . . . and they have a ravenous hunger for human flesh!!! Can you survive as the dead begin to rise? 

This super basic RPG has a complete playable rules set that fits on ONE side of a printed piece of paper and will get you and your RPG group playing in minutes! The abstract nature of the rules means they are very open-ended for storytelling and choosing how YOU want to play the game. Because of the bare-bones basic style of this game format, when there is a question about how a rule works in any given roleplaying situation, it is up to the Play Master to decide how it will work for YOUR GROUP. Remember to make it fun for everyone!

From the relentless hordes of Shambling Revenants to the cursed carriers of the Rotten Plaguebearers, this sinister compendium reveals the horrors that emerge when life’s final curtain falls and an insatiable hunger for flesh takes hold.
