Zombie RPG Coming In A ‘Savage Worlds’ Licensed Product

I’m always looking for new Savage Worlds products on the horizon, and here’s one with zombies….how can you go wrong with zombies? There’s no artwork to look at yet, but if it’s a Savage Worlds setting (with zombies), then it’s sure to please.

Day 108: Its quiet now. I hate the quiet, makes it too easy to think about what I’ve lost. The last of our food supplies were used up last night. We have no choice but to attempt another scavenger mission. We lost 4 people the last time we did that. I keep thinking back to the beginning, back to when things were normal and life was good. None of us had a clue. The reports began sporadically, here and there on the net. We thought they were a joke or some kind of cheap advertisement for something. We were wrong. Zombies are real.

War of the Dead is Daring Entertainment’s game of zombie horror that sends the world into an apocalypse. The virus begins slowly in isolated areas but spreads quickly. Panic takes over, people go mad and nations fall. The Dead have risen and the world is in shambles. The threat of the Dead and the risk of infection are horrible, but often pale in comparison to the acts of your fellow man. Outside of the survivor “Kingdoms”, anarchy and degeneracy rule, and sometimes the “Kingdoms” are worse. Ruins are everywhere, infested with the walking dead and the dead are evolving. Then there are the rumors rumors of creatures worse than the zombies. You have to ask yourself: what will you do to survive?

War of the Dead focuses not only on surviving against zombie hordes, but surviving and thriving among your fellow man in a world gone mad. The game will reach new levels of interactivity using both PDF and online resources to immerse players in the world unlike anything before.

The War is coming in late 2009.
