That’s right, folks: Against the Dead is ready for your consumption! Rejoice!
You can get your copy of Against the Dead at RPGnow.com.
Against the Dead is a tabletop d20 RPG for people who want to play the part of survivors in a zombie apocalypse. You begin the game as an average member of modern society, suddenly faced with the horror of the living dead – you either become a survivor, or join the swelling ranks of flesh-eating zombies. You then progress through the eventual crumble and fall of civilization, until you are one of the few remaining vestiges of the human race. …but to the victor go the spoils, and with the population dwindled to next to nothing, the zombies will eventually starve and die out. And whoever is left standing at the end of the infection stands to inherit the earth! …what’s left of it, anyway.
We’ve created a game that condenses a lot of the d20 modern rules into a very easy-to-digest formula, allowing even newcomers to tabletop gaming to pick them up and get up and running quickly. The book includes everything you need to run your own game of Against the Dead except the dice. It’s got nearly 100 illustrations, including many full-color images throughout. Along with a wide selection of all kinds of zombies (viral, radioactive, mystical, divine, and many other variations), we’ve included a comprehensive system for creating new types of customized zombies to mow down, and a great chapter on how to put together and run your own Against the Dead campaigns!
Right now, only the digital version of the book is available. We will be releasing a hard copy in the near future, but need some time to reformat it for print. But if you’d like to start slaughtering zombies right away, you can get yourself a copy of Against the Dead right now at RPGnow.com!
My fellow survivors: gas up your chainsaws, load your shotguns, and put on your ass-kicking boots. It’s zombie season!
33.33333% Off Sale at the Meat Market
by Martin Whitmore on April 28, 2009 at 10:57 amIn case you missed the banners here on the site, we’re having a big fucking sale at the Meat Market this week. 33.3333% off everything, including shirts (like the Tasty Flesh shirt that belongs in *every* zombie-killing badass’s wardrobe!), prints, canvas prints (like the 18×24″ canvases of your favorite Tasty Flesh gals), and even commissioned artwork! That way, you save money when you hire me to do that special picture of Stacy you’ve always wanted. Yeah, you know the one.
Why are we having a sale? Let me lay it out for you:
1. I love my fans! You guys make it possible for me to do what I love, and I want to show you I appreciate it! If you weren’t here, I’d just be drawing strippers and zombies for myself. …and that’s kinda creepy.
2. We’ve got some amazing new merchandise coming up in the next couple weeks, and we want to clear out the stuff sitting on the shelves first. Wait ’til you guys see this stuff – some part of you will *explode* with happiness. I make no guarantee as to which part.
3. Cashflow! You know how expensive it is to fully equip a zombie stronghold? We had to divert a hot spring 17 miles so we’d have a working hot tub in the bunker. Also, the rent on that zombie stronghold is a bitch.
The sale only runs through Thursday (less than 54 hours till the 33.3333% off coupon code – DISCOUNTMEAT – stops working!), so if you want some really great stuff for a really obscene price, you’d better get a move on. You’ll have to be like one of those 28 Days Later zombies, not so much the Shaun of the Dead types. The fast zombie catches the screaming sorority girl!
Here you go, everyone: the long-awaited February pinup! This month’s girl is Stacy again (she IS the star of the show, right?), but don’t worry: the rest of the girls will get their time in the spotlight, too. We’ve still got 7 months to go! Also, some of you may recognize the linework from this month’s pinup from the upcoming Tasty Flesh t-shirt. What can I say? I couldn’t help myself. I thought the drawing really did a great job of capturing the spirit of the comic (hot chicks, zombies, and buckets of blood), so it went on the shirt! Feast your eyes, folks: this one’s a beauty!
Step right up, folks, and get yourself one of these gorgeous new Tasty Flesh shirts!
This shirt tells all your friends you read the greatest Strippers vs. Zombies comic on the internet! …it also tells them that you’re not afraid to swing around some lawn & garden equipment if the going gets zombie. Show your support for the comic, and be a good minion, and head over to the Meat Market to preorder yours today!
Happy Valentines Day, Zombie Fans!
by Martin Whitmore on February 14, 2009 at 5:34 pmHope you’re all having a great Valentine’s Day! For those of you who may have missed it, here are my Valentines for you! But, since it’s a day for love, I wanted to show you all a little extra and post this drawing I made last week. Since we’re all Zed-Heads around here, I figured you might like it. …and those of you familiar with that wonderful piece of children’s television will appreciate it all the more! Note the little girl with the chainsaw. You can call her: “Prairie Dawn of the Dead!”
