So the Famous Monsters Convention was a blast. We talked to a lot of people, sold some stuff, and raised quite a bit of money via our auction… But unfortunately, the crowds on Saturday and Sunday weren’t as large as we’d hoped, and a few items didn’t get sold. Not to worry though; we’re putting [...]

As we count down the days to the highly anticipated Lurch for the Cure Silent Auction, the ZRC will be highlighting the individual items as they come in, so as to thank those who generously gave to this worthy cause, and to show off how much cool swag that you can purchase at the Famous [...]

So productive and conducive to [...]

They serve the death goddess, who, in 4th Edition terms, is neither good nor evil (like, one would suppose, death itself). Really, they’re less of a ‘race’ than a class, a sort of profession that a character [...]

I’m going to go through the source books we own in more detail soon, but just from the start of this 4th edition campaign the Technical Director and I are engaged in, it definitely seems so. Many character classes start off with, or can eventually obtain, powerful anti-undead spells and abilities. And these are the [...]

A couple of weeks ago now, the ZRC received a comment on our blog from game creator Wayne West of Spare Brains Games, who kindly offered to send us a review copy of their Zombie Cafe card game. Of course the ZRC was very pleased to take up this noble responsibility, and so last [...]
