Evil Dead 2 RPG Supplement Unveiled

Cult Classic ‘Evil Dead’ Transforms Into Terrifying Tabletop RPG

The cult horror sensation, Evil Dead, is stepping off the screen and onto the tabletop. Fans can now back an exciting Kickstarter campaign to get in on the action early. Since its inception in 1981, Evil Dead has expanded into a franchise with numerous sequels and spinoffs. Known for its comedic horror flair, the series keeps attracting new audiences with its unique mix of practical effects, outrageous gore, and humor.

Tabletop Reimagining by Lynnvander Studios

Players can soon write their own gruesome tales thanks to Lynnvander Studios’ Evil Dead 2 RPG Supplement. This fresh addition to the tabletop world is based on the 5e Dungeons & Dragons system. Celebrated for their board games based on cult classics, the Lynnvander team includes creators behind titles like Reanimator and Army of Darkness. With names like designer Devin Wilson, who also serves as Dungeon Master on the series Legacy of Worlds, the RPG promises thrills.

The Evil Dead 2 RPG Supplement seamlessly fits into any DnD game or serves as a standalone campaign. It has already exceeded its funding goals, yet still welcomes contributions. ScreenRant recently previewed the supplement, showcasing its creative mechanics and new character classes. One standout is the twist on the classic cleric archetype, inspired by the franchise’s essence.

Innovative Mechanics Bring Horror to Life

Central to the Evil Dead 2 RPG Supplement are twelve new character subclasses. Each subclass reinvents a traditional DnD role with a macabre twist. The Sycophant Domain cleric, for example, worships any god willing to listen, offering versatility and unpredictability. Spells are drawn from various lists, and special abilities like Call the Fickle Whims bring randomness to the fore.

A notable feature is Limb Loss, which mirrors the series’ penchant for limb-severing chaos. It gives certain attacks the chance to remove extremities. The supplement introduces familiar items from the films, such as the Kandarian Dagger, which inflicts ongoing damage that prevents resurrection.

Evil Dead fans will need formidable foes to battle, and Henrietta Knowby fits that bill. Transformed into a terrifying Deadite, she challenges players with deception and a suite of deadly abilities. Her powerful shapeshifting and self-healing make her a formidable adversary.

A Harmonious Blend of Evil Dead and DnD

Evil Dead and DnD seem destined to intertwine, and the Evil Dead 2 RPG Supplement captures this dynamic beautifully. The attention to detail and blend of horror and comedy promise a thrilling experience. The Lynnvander team, with their history in cult classic adaptations, ensures this effort is meticulously crafted.

Upcoming Miniatures for Army of Darkness

Following the RPG supplement, Lynnvander Studios is not slowing down. Slated for pre-order in January is Army of Darkness: The Board Game, yet another Kickstarter success. Players will confront waves of Deadites in a race to secure the Necronomicon. Alongside this release, a set of miniatures will upgrade the game’s components, offering fans a richer experience. Stay updated as the Evil Dead RPG project evolves, as Lynnvander continues to create fervent excitement.
