The Rotting Dead Walk Among Us!

...you pound the last nail into the board to secure the door even as the moaning and scratching becomes more frenzied outside. Honking in the driveway interrupts the sounds of undead hunger; peering through a window you see through the naked trees of fall that your husband, Ray, and the kids made it back.

"There must be a dozen rotters out there!" you observe in terror, as Ray leaps from the car, beating the dead walkers back with a tire iron to distract them from your two small children. The kids make it to the porch, just as one of the walking dead grasps Ray's arm and rips a sickeningly large chunk of meat out with its teeth.

They said on the radio that their bite will always spread the infection. You open the door and the kids scamper inside, but you slam it shut just as Ray stumbles up.

"Wait!" his voice breaks.

But you know he's already dead.

"That's how we'll survive." you think, looking down at your two sobbing boys.

"It's us or them."

ROTWORLD is a role-playing game complete in one volume. These rules contain:

Like Zombies in Movies or TV Shows? Then this is a must have in my opinion. Rotworld gives you all the information you need to start a 'Zombie Apocalypse' campaign. Causes of the outbreak, the breakdown of society, pre & post hierarchy, even some [...]

This is a solid game. I am so glad that Gobliniod Games used the Pacesetter rules system. The system is easy to learn and very smooth. No tons of back story stuff. A Corpse Master (GM) can do what ever He/She likes for a setting. [...]

Quite a good old school feel about it. I can see the similarities between Chill & Rotworld (obviously using the same engine). Strangely, I understood the basic mechanics reading Chill (first time round), but it took a few readings before getting th [...]

Rot World is 65 pages of information dense zombie RPG. The book contains almost no background, flavor text, setting or "fluff". It is almost solid rules, mechanics and examples of play. The heart of the game is the Action Table, [...]

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
