You play a character in a slasher movie waiting to be offed. But death doesn’t end your time because you were just a character in the movie, but off-screen you’re the movie’s producer which means you get to influence the movie for the remaining players. That’s right, it’s a slasher movie so love the tropes and when you die, cut the budget. This is rules lite, but it encompasses a lot of good content; you and your players will laugh. This campaign adds new options to the game including more monsters, characters, and options for the producers. Need more information about the core game, I [URL='http://tesseraguild.com/9-questions-with-craig-campbell-nerd-burger-games-about-die-laughing/']interviewed Craig Campbell about [/URL][URL='http://tesseraguild.com/9-questions-with-craig-campbell-nerd-burger-games-about-die-laughing/'][B][I]Die Laughing[/I][/B][/URL] years ago, but it’s still applies as the core mechanics are unchanged[B][I].[/I][/B] [/LIST] [CENTER][ATTACH type="full" alt="The Fury of the Northmen- Digital Edition.jpg"]279164[/ATTACH][/CENTER] [URL='https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/thefuryofthenorthmen/the-fury-of-the-northmen-digital-edition'][B]The Fury of the Northmen: Digital Edition[/B][/URL][B] from Jess Nevins[/B] [LIST] [*][B]END DATE[/B]: Thu, April 6 2023 10:36 AM EDT.
