(Philadelphia, PA) โ€“ At PAX Unplugged, Evil Genius Games announces a groundbreaking licensing partnership with Living Dead Media to develop a tabletop roleplaying game (TTRPG) based on one of the most iconic zombie franchises of all time: Return of the Living Dead.

“I’m thrilled to partner with Evil Genius Games and bring Return of the Living Dead into the tabletop gaming space!โ€ said Steve Wolsh, Founder and CEO of Living Dead Media. โ€œTarman has never been more popular, and the 40th anniversary is the perfect time to reintroduce this cult classic to a new generation of fans.”

Scheduled for release in 2025, Evil Genius Games will debut a Cinematic Adventure inspired by the franchiseโ€™s uniquely chaotic and comedic zombie world. This addition builds on the success of the companyโ€™s popular Everyday Heroesโ„ข RPG platform, which has launched eight cinematic adventures based on hit movie franchises such as Highlander, The Crow, Pacific Rim, and Kong: Skull Island.

The Return of the Living Dead Cinematic Adventure will feature new rules and mechanics tailored to the franchise’s dark humor, punk-rock aesthetic, and undead mayhem. It will also include four thrilling short adventures that immerse players in the franchise’s macabre and zany universe.

Evil Genius Games has enlisted veteran game designer Nick Lowe to spearhead the writing of this Cinematic Adventure. A respected freelance TTRPG writer from England, Lowe has an impressive portfolio, having worked on titles such as Earthdawn (FASA Games), Fate of the Norns: Ragnarรถk (Pendelhaven), and Cohors Cthulhu (Modiphius). A lifelong zombie film enthusiast, Lowe considers Return of the Living Dead a personal favorite and brings his expertise in horror, mythology, and 1980s pop culture to this project.

โ€œWe created Everyday Heroesโ„ข to be the ultimate modern-day TTRPG platform,โ€ said D. Todd Scott, CEO and Founder of Evil Genius Games. โ€œNo modern platform would be complete without a zombie setting. With the enduring popularity of the Return of the Living Dead franchise, we couldnโ€™t ask for a better partner.โ€

The collaboration comes as Living Dead Media gears up to reintroduce the Return of the Living Dead franchise to a new generation. In 2025, the company will launch an original feature film to mark the 40th anniversary of the cult classic, bringing the undead back to the big screen. Additionally, fans can look forward to a fully immersive VR experience, further solidifying the franchiseโ€™s legacy as a trailblazer in zombie entertainment.

For fans of horror, roleplaying games, and the undead, this partnership promises an unforgettable adventure into the punk-rock world of Return of the Living Dead.

Evil Genius Games Hosts โ€œThe Dark Gatheringโ€ – A Multi-Table RPG Event with the “Highlander Cinematic Adventure”

Indianapolis, IN, Sunday, 6, 2023 โ€“ Evil Genius Games is working to push the boundaries of immersive modern role-playing experiences by hosting a multi-table RPG event, centered around their popular Highlander Cinematic Adventure โ€“ a pivotal piece of the renowned Everyday Heroes System.

Answering an irresistible call, 60 enthusiastic players were drawn to Chicago, enticed by the tantalizing mystery: Is this the true Gathering of Immortals or a sinister ritual culminating in a climactic battle? As the story unfolded, participants grappled with the pivotal question, “Can you be the ONE to survive and claim the Prize?” By the end of the gripping event, only one Immortal remained, proudly wielding a coveted replica sword from Highlander as their prize. This honor went to Tommy Gatton. We also gave a replica sword to one of our outstanding Game Masters, JoshTanski. We want to thank everyone who joined us for this monumental event.

Tommy Gatton

This exclusive Highlander adventure was meticulously written by the talented Michael Bramnik and underwent rigorous development at the hands of experts Sigfried Trent and Ivis Flanagan. The event’s rapid sell-out stands as a testament to the dedication and excitement of the Evil Genius gaming community and the growing popularity of the Everyday Heroes system.

Today at GenCon

San Mateo, CA โ€“ Evil Genius Productions, the maker of the Everyday Heroesโ„ข tabletop roleplaying game, has announced at GenCon that it is launching a 3rd party licensing program allowing game publishers to create their own roleplaying adventures utilizing the Everyday Heroes’โ„ข rules system.

The program allows licensees to take advantage of the company’s Product Identity, published and in-development rules mechanics, and gives publishers the right to label their products as compatible with the Everyday Heroesโ„ข system. There is a one-time application fee of $50.

โ€‹

This program aims to recreate the expansive publishing ecosystem that was based on d20 Modern. Over the years, d20 Modern spawned hundreds of amazing games such as Adamant’s Thrilling Tales (2005-2007) and Mars (2006-2007) line, Green Ronin‘s varied d20 Modern rules and settings, which culminated in Damnation Decade (2006), and Mongoose‘s new editions of the classic Macho Women with Guns (2003, 2005).”

โ€‹

“I’m hoping that anyone with an idea for a modern roleplaying game will come to us to help them realize their vision, said D. Todd Scott, Owner of Evil Genius Productions. “I, for one, can’t wait to see what people come up with.”

โ€‹

Gaxx Worxโ„ข, a new games publisher launched by Luke Gygax, has signed up to use Evil Genius’ 3rd party license to launch Strange & Grim. According to game designer, Matt Everhart, “Strange & Grim will be a campaign setting that combines the adventure and wartime elements of Hellboy/Indiana Jones plus the horror elements like the Void, Event Horizon.โ€ The Kickstarter will launch in October 2022.

โ€‹

As part of this program, publishers can also opt into a co-marketing agreement. If elected, Evil Genius will promote its partner’s adventures to the Everyday Heroesโ„ข customer base and sell the products on the e-commerce platform. Similar to other online marketplaces, Evil Genius will keep 30% of the sales price and offer the rest to the publisher. The application for the program can be found here

โ€‹

Today, Evil Genius Productions also announced today it’s hiring of Owen KC Stephens as Editor-In-Chief. Mr. Stephens is a well-known developer who has worked at Wizards of the Coast, Paizo Publishing, and Green Ronin Publishing and worked extensively on the d20 Star Wars, d20 Modern, Everquest d20, Pathfinder, Starfinder, Freeport, and Fantasy AGE game lines. In addition to being Editor in Cheif, Owen KC Stephens will also be the lead writer for Kong: Skull Island.

โ€œIโ€™m thrilled to be joining the team creating Everyday Heroesโ„ข and its officially licensed action-movie Cinematic Adventuresโ„ข,โ€ said Stephens. โ€œEveryday Heroes is inspired by the d20 Modern RPG from the early 2000s, and I worked on a number of books for that line. Iโ€™ve always had a love of modern roleplaying systems, and Iโ€™m super-excited by what I have seen of Evil Geniusโ€™s updated take on the genre using 5e-compatible rules.โ€

SAN MATEO, Calif., Feb. 10, 2022 โ€”Evil Genius Productions LLC, a black-owned game publisher, today announced that it will launch a modern-day roleplaying game called โ€œEveryday Heroesโ„ขโ€ inspired by d20 Modern from 20 years past.

The โ€œd20 Modernโ€ tabletop roleplaying game was released 20 years ago. โ€œd20 Modern” was one of the first and most popular roleplaying games set in the current day. Over a four-year lifespan, the system released 11 expansions. The game also created an explosion of 3rd party products that complemented the original game. 

The game was designed by Bill Slavisek, Jeff Grubb, Rich Redman, and Charles Ryan. Grubb has also joined Evil Genius Productionโ€™s design team to create the new โ€œEveryday Heroesโ€ game. 

โ€œItโ€™s exciting to revisit the modern-era RPG as I did 20 years ago,โ€ said Grubb. โ€œHow we think about game design has evolved significantly so this is a great opportunity to bring new concepts into the modern era for todayโ€™s players.โ€

Similar to its spiritual successor, โ€œEveryday Heroesโ€ starts with the basic classes that we call archetypes โ€” the strong hero, the fast hero, the tough hero, the smart hero, the dedicated hero, and the charismatic hero โ€” but builds on this convention by introducing several unique classes, a new wealth system, and a fully revamped chase mechanic. Grubb continued, โ€œOur goal is to use โ€˜d20 Modernโ€™ as inspiration, not duplication.โ€

Grubb is joined by fellow โ€œd20 Modernโ€ producer Stan! Brown and veteran game designer Steve Miller. These veterans have worked on some of the most iconic role-playing settings ever released, including โ€œForgotten Realms,โ€ โ€œDragonlance,โ€ โ€œRavenloft,โ€ โ€œMarvel Superheroes Roleplaying Game,โ€ and the โ€œStar Wars: The Roleplaying Gameโ€ by West End Games. The three veterans are joined by two upcoming game designers, Chris Ramsay and Sigfried Trent. 

โ€œItโ€™s an amazing experience to work alongside Jeff Grubb and other developers on the  โ€˜Everyday Heroesโ€™ game.โ€ Says Sigfried Trent. โ€œJeff is a real hero of mine and an expert in game design.โ€ 

โ€œEveryday Heroesโ€ is currently in development and will be released on Kickstarter later this year. To learn more about this release, visit www.evilgeniusgaming.com.
