Advanced Death Saves: More Games, More Rules, More Deaths is the follow up to the original Death Saves: Fallen Heroes of the Kitchen Table from 2015. Created, and edited, by Josh Trujillo, a lifelong gamer and also a writer on comics such as Adventure Time and Rick and Morty, this comic anthology has an international mix of dozens of contributors. The new book contains over 30 all-new stories that celebrate tabletop gaming and the beloved characters who get killed off during play. The book will be a full color, 200 pages, perfect bound hardcover printed in digest format.
New Adventures!
Each story explores the time-honored tradition of killing player characters in a unique -- and often unexpected -- way. While the original volume focused on classic medieval fantasy games, ADVANCED DEATH SAVES opens up the theme of character death to all kinds of tabletop games. This means Horror, Space Opera, Western, War Games, Mech Combat, even Superhero!
Just as every gaming table is different, so are the tales in ADVANCED DEATH SAVES. Some are funny, others are tragic, and yet others are something else entirely! The one constant is that the real relationships between the players at the table can impact a character’s fate as much as the dice.
Exclusive Call of Cthulhu Map!
Advance Death Saves features an original, official Call of Cthulhu map by celebrated cartoonists and game designer Jason Thompson, creator of Mangaka: the Fast and Furious Game of Drawing Comics.
Originally created in 1981 by Sandy Peterson for Chaosium, CALL OF CTHULHU stands out as the most popular and iconic horror game on Earth. Thompson, a contributor to the first Death Saves, drew and created this map exclusively for the project.
Advanced Death Saves is running on Kickstarter until Thursday 9th November 2017.
