Call of Cthulhu is probably the best-known horror roleplaying game, and with good reason. When it comes to true cosmic horror, you can’t go wrong with the original. It’s one of the few horror-based RPGs that puts a great deal of power in the hands of players, even if they aren’t supernaturally gifted. Even with this said, the game provided very detailed mechanics for dealing with the horrors available in the Buffy universe. The game was relatively short-lived, encompassing only six books and ending with the loss of the license in 2005. Published in 2002 by Eden Games, the Buffy the Vampire Slayer Roleplaying Game allowed players to live out their own experiences in the Buffy universe.
In retrospect, it seems natural that one of the landmark horror series of the past twenty years should have its own roleplaying game. Buffy the Vampire Slayer Roleplaying Game It was a fantastic system for those who really wanted to get into the walking dead. The game provided just enough to guide players while letting most of the work be done by player imagination. With the help of supplements, players could create cyberpunk zombies, space zombies, Old West zombies, and many more. The core of the game concerned Deadworlds, which all had their unique takes on zombies and on how player characters would deal with them. It was one of the earliest, best ways to really get into the zombie apocalypse.Īll Flesh Must Be Eaten is also notable for providing a huge number of supplements to help players take zombies in new directions. The game’s campaigns were often a matter of survival, eschewing the grand goals of most tabletop games for something a bit more mundane. All Flesh Must Be Eaten threw players into a world where the living dead were the main adversary, but where humans could be just as deadly.
It might not have been the first to introduce the ideas of zombies to horror gaming, but it was the first to put them front and center. This game is, in many ways, the father all of zombie roleplaying games.
