WHAT IS THIS?

From the creators of SURVIVE THIS!! Dark Places & Demogorgons, Bloody Appalachia, Camp Blood, and SURVIVE THIS!! Zombies! comes SURVIVE THIS!! Zombies - Ultimate Edition.  STZUE is a d20-based OSR RPG with modern sensibilities, utilizing the time-tested rules of the old-school and fusing them seamlessly with modern mechanics and game design principles to give you a fast, fun, and dangerous, thrill-ride-like gaming experience. 

“They’re coming to get you Barbara . . .”

That’s the line that started it all. Sure, there were other zombies in movies and literature prior to the delivery of that iconic quote, but George A. Romero’s Night of The Living Dead kicked off the modern zombie craze. From Day of the Dead to Return of the Living Dead to Dawn of the Dead to Shaun of the Dead to The Walking Dead, people can’t get enough of The Dead! Zombies can be found in abundance in film, TV, comic books, literature, video games, board games, card games, dice games, and yes, of course, roleplaying games. That is where we come in.
