H.P. Lovecraft--one of Ravenloft's guiding lights--was born on August 20, 1890.
In observation of that day, I have written "Herbert West vs. the Zombies" for ROLF!: The Rollplaying Game of Big Dumb Fighters.
Following the same format as "The Death of Osama bin Laden" and "The Fireman vs. the Firewitch," this two-page supplment can be downloaded for free until Monday August 22. Click here to get your copy... and feel free to offer feedback!

Thank you Mr. Miller! Real thanks.
I checked it, seems good and solid to me. I would just think that zombies should not be castratable as a trait at least.
As for the scenario, it seems a bit tough to win that, but it's OK. I doupt many will play with just one char.

Oh yeah! And my friend, a DM who does only 2nd Edition, dmed a MoTRD game for a few of us and the ending has the birth of Monsieur Lovecraft! That was a way cool way to end his game

Alhoon: You're welcome! And you're right about the scenario being very, very difficult--if not impossible--to win. That's a trait of a lot of the ROLF! "adventures," although I may have gone a bit overboard with this one.... when the editor's away, the designer goes nuts! [And the Sexy Zombie having castrate is something I threw in there, partly because of my twisted sense of humour, and partly because I suspect that when my collaborator does her revision when this thing gets incorporated into our larger October project, she'd add it anyway....]

Nah, 2-3 chars can do it. About Castrate, I meant that a zombie should be "uncastratable" or castrate should have less of an effect on a zombie.
(Castrate is a good move usually and very demoralizing for the other player. We shouted a lot of "OUCH!" with that.)

Ah, I misread your castrate comment... I thought you were reacting to the fact that the Sexy Zombie HAD the maneuver, rather than saying they should be IMMUNE to it. I think you're right; I'll remember to add that when we do the October horror-themed release.alhoon wrote:Nah, 2-3 chars can do it.

I sincerely hope I'll have my credit card by then... and that it'll be acceptable in paypal (Greece's credit rating is bad at the time).

Well, so long as it's a credit card, I'd have a hard time imagining it wouldn't be.alhoon wrote:I sincerely hope I'll have my credit card by then... and that it'll be acceptable in paypal (Greece's credit rating is bad at the time).
And if it doesn't, let me know. i can try to work something out. Not with the global money crunch, but with getting NUELOW Games products you want in your hands.

I think it'll be OK. Looking forward for the October ROLF! treat.
