Latest Updates from Our Project:

JUST LAUNCHED - Gods of Metal: Ragnarock
about 3 years ago – Mon, Jan 25, 2021 at 09:11:52 PM

From the publisher of Outbreak: Undead.. comes an irreverent and glorious spectacle completely unlike Outbreak: Undead.. known as Gods of Metal: Ragnarock, a highly energetic, over-the-(table)top RPG filled with glory, teamwork, and adventure.

In this D4-based tabletop roleplaying game, you'll be ripped from the boring world of Mundania and thrust into the plane of Ragnarock where you'll:

  •  Pledge your allegiance to a Patron Metal God to create your Outfit, Weapon, and Accessory for your sweet-ass Avatar who is sure to kick ass (or die magnificently, attempting to ascend to Godhood).
     
  • Form bands of adventurers, made up of player Positions (aka player classes) like Brutalizers, Bludgards, Howlers, Shredders, Chordmasters, and Amplords.
     
  • Fight back the enemies of Ragnarock, such as The Electric Lichs of the Howling Wastes, Pit Demons of Borgourl, The Warlords of Aux, The Proaugr, those effing Bose Imps, and Ragnasaurs Rexes! Not to mention all the other Avatars who may get in your way as you seek Glory of wild proportions in this heavy metal album inspired world!

Back Gods of Metal: Ragnarock on Kickstarter to heed the call!


Sincerely,

Hunters Entertainment

Strain Series: ZOMBV Has Arrived!
almost 4 years ago – Thu, Apr 23, 2020 at 05:23:54 PM

Greetings Survivors,

While we have been a bit delayed in getting this out within our originally intended time frame, we are very pleased to announce that Strain Series: ZOMBV is being made available to our backers right now through DriveThruRPG!  We are getting this our to our backers first and foremost as a thank you for helping us bring this supplement to life during the campaign.  After we have given all of you a little bit of time to pick up your copy we'll make the PDF available to the public.

All of the DTRPG fulfillment has been sent to the email address we have on file in our Pledge Manager.  As always, be sure to check your Spam folder and allow for a little time to ensure all items have had a chance to process through the DTRPG systems.  If you do not see your link by tomorrow at this time you can feel free to reach out to us so we can get you sorted.

More Where That Came From!

As a quick little bit of background, we wanted to take a moment to explain that the delays we had in getting this out was primarily due to our decision to acquire local writers for certain sections of the book (namely where we discuss the global impact for Gamemasters).  We had some complications come up during this process, but we think it was well worth the effort in the end.  That said, we recognized that this process had caused enough delay that we made the decision to get this out to you before we were able to lock in regional writers for all parts of the world.  In particular we had to skip Africa and Asia.

While this was a difficult decision to make, we felt making you hold out when it was only two bits of content missing we didn't want to hold the process up any longer.  What we intend to do is lock down writers to accommodate these sections at the quality standard we have set, and once we have this ready to go we'll update the existing PDF for free with the added details.  We are not quite ready to announce a specific date for this right now, but it is a little something you can look forward to.  After we have gotten this in place we will explore the possibility of making a print version of the book available as well.

What Comes Next?

It has been one heck of a journey, and at this point we are very much in the home stretch.  We have just one more bit of content coming down the pipeline for our backers - Strain Series: Chimera!  On the plus side of things, this one is very far along in the process, with much of it locked in layout already.  We are aiming to have this one out still in this quarter, so you can expect to get your hands on that sooner rather than later.  Then we'll be moving into content that wasn't part of the Kickstarter specifically, but needless to say we have a boat load of cool stuff coming for you to test your zombie survival plans with.

As always, thanks so much to all of you for your continued support, and keep on surviving!

Update: Small Delay and Sneak Peek
about 4 years ago – Tue, Feb 04, 2020 at 03:32:15 PM

Hello Survivors,

We wanted to take a moment to drop by, with the launch of our Altered Carbon Campaign we didn't want you to think that we had forgotten about you fine folks!  So, with that in mind we'll take a moment to let you know where we are at on those final Stretch Goals for you.

ZOMBV Delayed: More Content Being Added

So, the first thing we want to address is that the release of Strain Series: ZOMBV has been delayed.  The reason behind this delay is we made an internal decision to add some additional content to both ZOMBV and Chimera.  With Chimera coming behind ZOMBV already, we do not actually expect this additional content to delay that book any.  It does, however, come into conflict with getting out ZOMBV as we had intended.  We are expecting to get the PDF out to you all this month now, but we didn't want to leave you just guessing of course.

In the end, we are confident that this is the right decision for the supplement line overall, as they will add some extra flavor to the settings that we release for Outbreak.  As you are well aware, we're very committed to delivering you the best possible products on the market, and our supplements are no exception to that.

Sneak Peek: ZOMBV Cover Art

Since we're having to give you what we would technically consider bad news, being that it is a delay in our communicated delivery to you (regardless of it being for additional content being included), so we wanted to take a moment to make that up to you.  So, here is a first look at the cover art for ZOMBV:

The Pandemic Goes Global in 2020!

And there you have it, your first look at the style we'll be using for the Strain Series of books!  We think this does a nice job of staying in theme with the core books design while still making the supplements have a unique look all to themselves, but let us know what you think down in the comment!

Take Care, Prepare

That just about covers it for today, and we'll be back with you just a little later on with some more content for your collections.  In the meantime, keep on surviving!

All That Remains!

Now that we have the Soundscape released there is very little left remaining on this campaign, but you do still have some more content coming shortly.  As a reminder, the following content is still coming down the pipeline:

1. Strain Series - ZOMBV

2. Strain Series - Chimera

As backers of the campaign you will be getting PDF versions of these books once they are finalized.  At this time the first in the line, Strain Series - ZOMBV, is going through the final polish in layout with some final art assets being completed.  We are striving to still roll this out before the year closes, but as the holidays approach we know that this might also be delayed until early January at the latest.

The final bit of content for this campaign, Strain Series - Chimera, is also already into the layout process and has been coming along rather well.  We do still have a bit more work to do in this one comparatively, and there are some more art assets still in production, but we anticipate that the digital release will be ready in Q1 of 2020 still.

Keep on Surviving!

As always, we thank you very much for your continued support and look forward to continuing to grow the 2nd Edition of Outbreak: Undead.. with you all as the years roll on.  Until our next update, take care and prepare!

Percentile Die Make Good
over 4 years ago – Wed, Nov 20, 2019 at 07:38:35 PM

Survivors,

As many of you have noticed, the official Hunters Outbreak Undead dice package contained one die with a flaw. The die in question (a percentile die) contained multiple instances of the number 60. We have partnered with our die manufacturer and are currently in the process of fulfilling a make good!

In the coming days, anyone that pledged for the Hunters dice will receive a replacement die to the same address as their original shipment.
