Return Of The Living Dead Kickstarter Now Lives – Popgeeks

Tonight is the night! The zombies will soon rise to feast again…on your gaming table. Evil Genius Games presents the official Return of the Living Dead TTRPG, which launched its Kickstarter not too long ago and blew through its initial funding goal in just three hours.

Return of the Living Dead: The Official TTRPG runs on the Everyday Heroes engine, which was developed by Evil Genius for the RPG of that same name. The system was itself based on d20 Modern and updated for the 5th edition. The game’s premise is based on George Romero’s horror classic Return of the Living Dead, which if you can believe it or not was based “on true events” according to the game’s backstory. “Return of the Living Dead brings you endless morbid zombie mayhem,” says Evil Genius. “Tear them apart. Blow them up. Burn them to a crisp. They just keep coming!”
