All Flesh Must Be Eaten Horror; Survival; Rules Lite; Classless; Low Prep

At‑a‑glance: Unisystem • d10 + stat + skill tests • 2–5 + GM • Low prep • Rules‑lite • 2–3h sessions

Theme and Setting

Modern survival horror across countless Deadworlds, from classic Romero outbreaks to unusual twists. Each Deadworld provides its own origins, threats, and tone, letting groups dial from bleak realism to pulpy action.

Core Mechanics and Rules

Unisystem tests use a d10 plus Attributes and Skills against set difficulties. Combat is quick and dangerous; zombies are resilient, and injuries matter. Character options are straightforward, emphasizing playstyle over build depth. GM tools support quick prep and improvisation.

What Makes It Unique

The Deadworlds framework presents ready‑to‑run outbreak scenarios with variant zombie types and campaign tones. It’s easy to teach, lethal enough to stay tense, and flexible enough to support episodic play or short arcs without heavy bookkeeping.

Target Audience and Player Experience

Great for fans of grounded, gritty survival with minimal crunch. New players can learn quickly; veterans get modular frameworks to remix. Expect scarcity, hard calls, and sessions that reward teamwork over optimization.
