Splatter Punk 70's & 80's Post Apocalyptic Horror Campaign Sundown Edition



Splatter Punk 70's & 80's Post Apocalyptic Horror Campaign
Sundown Campaign VHS Collector's Issue! 

Introduction 
So this weekend I've got a balls to the walls campaign to run. A take off on the horror,post apocalytic movies of the 70's and 80's. This is going to a fantasy adventure campaign inspired by my days behind the counter at the video store in Boston during the 90's. I'm a part of a very exclusive club of players called the "VHS Rewinders".
 In 1973 the world experienced a "Supernaturalpyse Event!" , the Veil between the worlds of the paranormal and the world as we know it were shattered!  The world was shattered into a thousand tiny micro city states. Chaos reigns all these years later during the blood soaked 80's! 


Zombies,Ghosts, psychotic cults, mass killings rage across the world as the Earth tries to recover! Barbarians  Thieves,Adventurers, and worse wander the wasteland trying put things right! 



 Please Press Play To Begin! 


The covers of each and every horror,science fiction, fantasy,VHS tape  always promised so much on the artwork but seldom delivered.  That changes now! The players will be choosing a wide array of PC classes based on the usual OD&D engine type with a difference!
I'll be using Crypts and Things as the engine! That's right I've used this game to run a wide variety of campaign types before! 


Cults of serpent men inhabit the cities, deranged psycho undead killers stalk the country side, and worse wander between the planes of existence! 
The Earth endured a supernatural holocaust. The "Others" have returned with a vengeance. Vampires & other supernaturals rule the night. Mankind is pushed the brink of extinction. Barbarians, thieves, & adventurers are taking back the night one piece at a time! 
The Rules horror movies apply! Anyone can die at any time!

  3. I'm glad you like the concept of the "Supernaturalypse" Tim! I'm doing a ton of prep work right now for this game on Sunday!

    Digital Orc, there are quite a few folks who don't get the awesome that is Crypts and Things. The game has spoken to me since it first came out! I'm all about the awesome 70's and 80's Sword And Sorcery, Sci fi, and Fantasy movies. For me with a bit of help this game emulates them perfectly!
