Fanfiction

The Lost Papers of Abel Township is an undeniably cool project. It’s a unique take on fanfiction, crafted around “found” documents from Runner Five, including diary entries. I can’t wait see what else they come up with!

Prom by erbinnerdgirl5 is an adorable fanfic where – you guessed it! – Abel holds its first ever prom. This is a lot of fun to read amidst the darkness of Season 6!

But to return us to that same dark, Digna Factis Recipimus by bbelladonna is a fantastic exploration of the kind of nightmares Five might have after all they’ve seen. Be warned – the current chapter has spoilers up to Season 3, and bbelladonna plans to continue through all the seasons in this style.

Boardgame Card Designs Preview

Matt here – Lead Designer of the Zombies, Run! Board Game!:

We’ve had an exciting couple of weeks here, as we’ve started receiving the first sets of materials from our manufacturing partner, and we’re getting ready to run demos of the game at the UK Games Expo in early June.

I could write a lot about the new card designs, the dummy box, the story artefacts, and everything, but a) it’s early b) I haven’t had my coffee yet and c) Adrian filmed me talking about it all for like 20 minutes yesterday so you should probably just watch the video instead. 

Check it out to see new card designs, a sneak peek at secret puzzles, and my hair, which has discovered how to escape the earth’s gravitational pull. Then pre-order the game, if you haven’t already – it’s only $36, which is frankly criminally low-priced!

S6 M5 & M6 Released

A new Wednesday means two new missions! This week, get moving with Your Woman and Bridge Over Troubled Water.

You can download these missions right now from the ‘Missions’ tab in app. If you’re a Pro Member, you can download and play both missions immediately. Otherwise, you can use your free weekly unlock to play either one.

As always, please let us know what you think!
