Combat can be awesome, or it can simply be one grind after another. But how do you keep each combat from blurring into the next? Even more so, how do you make it so that your players don’t just attack every obstacle and kill everyone...
I have been inspired by all the game design going on recently on Infected!, and with talking to a lot of backers of our Kickstarter (thanks everyone!), and thought I would write an article on exactly how I think a campaign of Infected! can be run to best effect....
A couple of days ago I got the opportunity to play a one-shot game of Infected! with Nick-Nack, a YouTube Vlogger, and two backers of the project on Kickstarter (Richard and Tom). It was a lot of fun! Quite hilarious at times, and also dramatic, terrifying and intense. But I...
For inspiration on Infected RPG, I turned to Stuart Holbrook, one of my best mates and a key contributor to the Immersion RPG game design! Not only that, but he's an incredible writer, with a debut novel on its way. This short story is a...
It's official people, Infected! Zombie RPG is now live on Kickstarter. Wow, what a ride it's been so far. I planned on doing "a few minor touches" last night, and then realised that there were some major touches still needing doing...
First RPG from Immersion Studios launching on Kickstarter on August 16. Bestselling author Oliver R. Shead makes his Tabletop RPG debut with a new take on the classic zombie apocalypse theme. The outbreak is over. The Infected are all-but exterminated. Now, finally, humanity has the chance...
I have become a hermit. Until my Kickstarter launches, it seems I am to have no social life, or virtually anything that resembles anything other than RPGs and crowdfunding. It’s for the best. I know plenty of talented people who have told me that they’re going...
When you’re developing a Game or Fictional setting, there are some points to make sure you’ve got right – and one of those is water. I never realized quite how much water people actually need and use. But a burst pipe at home soon brought...
Our Sampler for Infected Zombie RPG Sampler is now up on Drive Thru RPG! Actually, it's been there for some time, and is now in its third iteration. I have doubled its size and added more and more content into it until it's now 63...
Okay, so I've gone and really done it this time. With a bit of feedback from some valued playtesters and readers (thanks guys!) I decided to add some more content to the Infected Zombie RPG Sampler book. It was a fair bit of effort, let me...
It's been a while since I've updated anything here about the progress of Infected RPG, though no doubt if you're on our Social Media pages you'll have seen a ton of updates! In short, things are going very well with the game, and we have...
The final stage in the Infection is what's known colloquially as the Shambler. The virus has at this point almost completely destroyed its host's body. The boils cover its body from head to toe, gases and stinking liquids fill its flesh. The thing moves slowly....
Check out this guy! A revolting Infected, one who has been infected for quite a while. The virus is slowly but steadily killing him, consuming his body, and covering it in highly-contagious boils. In particular, Bursters are often filled with gases that horrifically distort and twist their...
This nasty individual is...
Another of our wallpapers for Infected Zombie RPG! This rather unpleasant creature is an "Alpha," an Infected who is altogether too smart for his own good. You see, whilst the infection destroyed the minds of most of the Infected, there were a very few who maintained...
It's been a while since my last post, and it's time to remedy that with interest! We've been absolutely flat out working on our first title release, Infected RPG, a brutally realistic vision of an Infected apocalypse. Harsh, unrelenting and absolutely terrifying. This is not so much a...
