Enter the World of the Dead — 15 Stretch Goals Unlocked So Far
The highly anticipated The Walking Dead Universe Roleplaying Game has raised more than $500k and unlocked 15 stretch goals with two days remaining in its crowdfunding campaign. Explore an unforgiving, post-apocalyptic world, where you must learn to survive. Together.
[The Kickstarter campaign will wrap up on Wednesday, April 5th at 3:59 PM CEST.]
In the game, the player characters must not only hone their physical skills, but deeply explore who they truly are – what drives them to go on, what they consider worth fighting for, and what they’re capable of doing, in the best and worst of times.The crowdfunding campaign has unlocked a long list of stretch goals, including: solo mode, threat meter, Atlanta Area Map, custom dice, bonus archetypes, adventure maps, Foundry and Roll20 Virtual Tabletop Modules and pre-generated characters from The Walking Dead TV series, with more stretch goals on the way.
There are two ways to play the game – Campaign Mode and Survival Mode:
In Campaign Mode, it is your goals and choices, and the result of your group efforts, that create the storyline.
In Survival Mode, you are faced with a dangerous situation that needs to be handled immediately. Survival Mode scenarios often feature locations and characters from the TV series.
The Walking Dead Universe RPG is a co-production between AMC Networks and the award-winning tabletop publisher. The Free League team is working closely with key forces behind the franchise, including Chief Content Officer of The Walking Dead Universe, Scott M. Gimple. The RPG series will introduce new story elements while drawing inspiration from the current series and upcoming spin-offs.
