It's Friday the 13th, so it's time to remind everyone that the latest book for Chill, Undead, is on Kickstarter.
Why is this book cool?
2) The Chill monster books are set up epistolary style, which deliver information but not truth. Even if your players read the entry on a specific type of monster, they won't know its secrets chapter and verse.
3) My entry focuses on the Unknown possessing dead envoys and using them to sow discord within SAVE.
4) The company has a dozen free cases available on its website (mine is here). That's a whole campaign right there, for free, which they add to every time they do a Kickstarter. They've already unlocked two more cases through this campaign and are aiming for three more by the number of backers. That doesn't include the cases in the book or that every monster entry has hooks at the end for using it in your game.
5) CHILL's design hits a sweet spot for me. The percentile system is easy to explain and the light and dark tokens invoke genre while making monster power management a breeze. I like that, when the tokens are all dark, everyone leans forward a bit, waiting for the shoe to drop. It creates a Dread-like tension at the table.
The Kickstarter runs until October 31st, but backing it on a day known for hockey-masked killers and black cats seems like a good call.
