Beta Maxx Death Unhallowed Edition
Nah man¸ it's just an urban legend. Like there's some World War I soldier with his stomach missing¸ a gas mask¸ and a bayonet that is going around killing people? Sure man¸ you really believe that crap? Whatever¸ I dare you to stay overnight in the apartment tower there tonight. What's wrong? Are you scared? Chicken? I'd stay there overnight. Go on Chicken¸ stay overnight here with me. Beta Maxx Death is a Slasher-Horror Movie genre game built off the Beta Maxx engine set in a non-specific modern setting. It openly riffs off classic Halloween movie tropes: lunatics with big sharp weapons haunted buildings that will kill a large number people ghosts that will possess the weak-willed surreal landscapes of the mind It is a light rules engine intended to give a combination of support structure but plenty of scope to solve the problems before the players in a variety of ways. It includes a new mechanic called "Panic" which¸ as it builds up¸ can temporarily hijack your character causing them to react unpredictably¸ but following the tropes of Slaher Horror movies. There is also an extensive section on building your Slasher¸ since in most cases¸ such a game hinges on the group of Victims¸ the Slasher¸ and the various people who reveal tidbits about the Slasher before the last handful survive.
