Dead Man On Campus: Lovecraftian Engle Matrix Game released

[MatrixGamer]

If you like Call of Cthulhu you'll love this game.

Dead Man on Campus is the fourth folio EMG released this year by Hamster Press. This time the games centers on Lovecraftian Zombies on the campus of Miskatonic Univeristy in 1923. The game consists of a 16x21 color laminated map, separate rules sheet and character sheet, and wooden counters with character pictures on them (You can put figures on the wood squares instead - that's what I do for my private games).

As in all EMGs players take turns making up arguments about what happens next in the game. This keeps the game simple and highly replayable. I've been playing this scenario for eight years.

Physical Version costs $12.95 USD from Hamster Press http://www.io.com/~hamster

Chris' matrix games are excellent. For those of us who love words and 'making things up' over numbers and looking up the rules, they are a joy to play -- H

I tip my hat back. Howrad has run some of the best games I've ever played in. I will always remember being the reporter in my first Science versus Pluck game where I wrote  the article and turned it in before the first move - proudly proclaiming British victory and 10,000 dead. Sure it was wrong... but who cares?
