Dead Reign zombies take center stage as we read through Thinkers, Mock Zombies, and Pattern Zombies from Palladium Books, Inc., and examine what makes these undead more than shambling cannon fodder.

On this RPG Die Gest livestream, we dig into how these variants use intelligence, identity, behavior, and repetition to create survival horror that can challenge your assumptions about zombie RPGs and monster design.

Then we turn to Savage Swords by The Red Room, a brutal sword-and-sorcery RPG built around dangerous character creation, harsh choices, scarce magic, ancient ruins, and “The Cruel World,” where dark fantasy does not soften the blow.

If you want more from Dead Reign zombies, sword-and-sorcery roleplaying, and deep-cut tabletop RPG systems beyond the usual suspects, watch the livestream and bring your notes.
