Rotted Capes (Kickstarter in bio)

#LoreThursday

Most survivors don’t die on the road because of the dead.

They die because they trusted the wrong living people at the wrong stop.

The zombies just make the cleanup easier.

#WIPWednesday

One big design shift in Rotted Capes: Skillsets over granular skills.

Skill Sets describes what your hero does. It's up to you to choose how you use it.

Fewer checklists. Stronger fiction.

Tonight or heroes have a choice to make

They survived the Iron Tomb... and have a boat filled of supplies

But a storm brews over the horizon

Same waters. Fewer choices

#RottedTropicz, #ActualPlay #TTRPG #ZombieApocalypse

#MonsterMonday

Not all deadheads shamble.

In #RottedCapes, the common zombies can be slow and relentless…
or fast, twitchy, and terrifyingly direct.

Speed changes everything, changing confidence to panic.

#SundayThoughts

Rotted Capes isn’t about saving the world.
It’s about deciding what survives when the world already failed.

If that’s the kind of story you want at your table,
2nd Edition is built for it.

#LoreThursday

Before Z-Day, heroes were myths in bright costumes.
After Z-Day, their ruins became landmarks.

HQs & Bunkers no one remembers how to open.
The world didn’t forget its heroes, it built scars around them.

#WIPWednesday

#RottedCapes, combat doesn’t get harder by inflating numbers.
It gets harder when the rules change.

Combat Modes stack situational pressure
Hordes, Unleashed villains, Danger Zones

Same encounter. New problems.

#LoreThursday

Nobody knows what caused Z-Day.
Alien tech. Bad magic. Government hubris.
Pick a theory; someone believes it.

The truth? Your heroes probably won’t live long enough to prove it.

Lol....they are quick i tell you

WIPWednesday ~ Monsters as Problems, Not Punching Bags Okay, so here’s the thing: when I started reworking how threats work in Rotted Capes: Second Bite, I wasn’t trying to make scarier or flashier monsters. Honestly? I just wanted…

#WIPWednesday - Monsters as Problems, Not Punching Bags

In #RottedCapes, fewer moving parts means threats that actually matter, mechanically clean, philosophically sharp, and built to create pressure instead of paperwork.

Bad news, survivors: I’ve been taken out by a non-zombie plague.

Out of an abundance of caution (and tissues), we’re canceling this week’s Rotted Tropicz session.

We’ll be back next week

Rethinking Armor Durability: Making Gear Matter Without Slowing Play – My blog This idea started the way most dangerous rules ideas do: mid-session, half a cup of cold coffee in, watching players do something clever that the rules technically allow… but fictionally feels off.

Armor that never breaks feels fake; durability rules feel like homework.

Digging into how to make armor degrade without slowing play or tracking nonsense.
