It’s $45, which is about right these days. The cover art depicts a woman in two states, uninfected and zombie, with a polaroid showing her as a zombie with a note on it: “She is still pretty to me.” It’s printed on heavy, high-quality paper, and it looks and feels nice. It’s a monster hardcover, 452 pages, with a full-color cover and a B&W interior. So how is it? Here’s the short version: It’s got some flaws, but if you like zombies and want to try a different kind of RPG, you’ll love Outbreak: Undead. So I wrote to the publisher and asked for a print review copy, which I tucked into right away. It’s also an “avatar game,” an RPG in which you play a character based on yourself (though you can, of course, also play any kind of character you like), which presents some unique challenges and opportunities from a GMing perspective. I love zombies, horror, survival horror, and all the intersections thereof, and Outbreak: Undead (OU) is a zombie survival horror RPG - right up my alley. After seeing a preview of Outbreak: Undead ( warning: has sound) online, and then again at GenCon, I knew I wanted to review this game for the Stew.
