What is new and a Project that I love.

I wanted to take some time to discuss where Hope is for the Dead sets itself as different to Forbidden Psalm and other games.
So to emulate the the zombie survival games and movies I so love in Hope is for the Dead you manage a Haven of 25 survivors. You cannot buy items and must scavenge for what you can. You can upgrade your Haven, cure infections with hasty amputations and a lot more.
One of the key differences is the infection mechanic. Each infected creature has an infection score. This represents how likely you are to get an infection from them if they attack you. Hidden bites, possible cures and hordes of zombies all feature in Hope is for the Dead.

A project that I am truly in love with is from artist and designer Tania Herrero, who is working with on Run from the Dark .
Menagerie of Unbearable Things is a system neutral TTRPG compendium of tragedy. An art and story-heavy bestiary of monsters and what love did to them. All entries include adventure hooks with ideas to introduce these creatures and their legends to your games.
Every page is fully illustrated. Tania's art is invocative and has captured my imagination in Run from the Dark and Menagerie of Unbearable Things is no different. I have backed this project myself personally and cannot wait for my copy.
Right that's all for now thank you to everyone that has supported Hope is for the Dead so far. Any questions fire in the comments.
