After some hiccups over the past few months another Kickstarter should be with me soon. That seems to have been the story for a few I backed over a year ago. As Dad used to be fond of saying “shit happens”.

Anyway the Kickstarter that is coming (the posting of it starts today apparently) is Zombie World.

I was online using their webstore and the discount codes I was given ordering the stuff that I had backed. Due to the high demand on their server (because every other backer was doing the same) the experience was less than enjoyable. Countless server timeouts, having to enter the same discount code multiple times before it registered, really long processing times. But I endured and managed to get my order in, with the appropriate level of shipping costs that I was prepared to pay. It was an unusual way compared to other Kickstarters to get what I had backed and pay for shipping. And if the experience had been better, one I’d have been none fussed about. In fact it may have been one I’d rave about. I like the option of choosing my shipping method.

“Zombie World is a card-based tabletop roleplaying game of survivors fighting against the living and the dead for their own place in the world. The game is designed for easy, quick, and intense play.”

Zombie World is “powered by the Apocalypse system” or a version of it. This one uses cards instead of dice.

Naturally once it arrives there will be a post about the unboxing of what arrived.

So yet another RPG in my collection. But one I think that will be easier to get to the table. And that is the plan.

I’m hoping that once it arrives to run one shot adventures using the base game and the two expansions.

The system (at least the way described) allows for this sort of play. In fact if I remember correctly it’s listed as a strength of the game system. Carry the box around and play when ever.

So based on that it should be possible at a Fenland Gamers club night to have an impromptu RPG session using this. Assuming those that attend are happy to explore a zombie apocalypse.

It’s also said that this system could be run as a campaign also. Which if it didn’t would be a major drawback. And at some point it would be interesting to see how that went. But we are also then getting in to The End of the World: Zombie Apocalypse from FFG territory.

Anyway I’m excited to finally be getting this. And definitely looking forward to getting it to the table.
