This week, Fiona and guest cohost Nandi go through 'The Walking Dead Universe RPG' published by Free League Publishing, a zombie horror TTRPG inspired by the graphic novel and TV series of the same name!.
The Walking Dead has always been about characters facing impossible choices in an unforgiving world. With this game, you enter into the world of the dead and must face these choices head on. You can do this at any point in the timeline – encountering familiar faces and locations, or new ones – but the hardest choice will always be the same: Who are you going to be?
InThe Walking Dead Universe RPG, you will play as people struggling to survive in a hostile world. Exceptional challenges can appear from anywhere – from the lack of essential supplies, from conflicts brewing within the group, from hidden construction flaws in your safe haven, or from approaching walkers hungering for your flesh.
Expect the stress and stakes to be high. The rules are based on the acclaimed Year Zero Engine, used in Free League´s award-winning games such as the ALIEN RPG, Blade Runner RPG, Tales From the Loop RPG, Mutant: Year Zero and Forbidden Lands, but uniquely tailored for The Walking Dead Universe.
Check out Nandi on the 'Right Quick' podcast and 'The Young: A Walking Dead TTRPG Actual Play' Show!

This week, Fiona concludes her little end of 2025/beginning of 2026 challenge to do some of her own worldbuilding using The Ultimate RPG Worldbuilding Deck by James D'Amato, author of the Ultimate RPG series.
From The Ultimate RPG Worldbuilding Deck bio:
'Make worldbuilding as quick as the flip of a card with this fun and easy-to-use game resource deck that includes 75 cards to help you populate your game world with people, factions, destinations, and secrets.
Worldbuilding for your RPG adventures can be a challenge, but this deck makes it easy with 75 interactive cards with prompts and ideas to help game masters create the people, places, and histories that populate their game world. Featuring all new prompts inspired by The Ultimate RPG World Building Book, this deck can be an engaging planning tool for a GM to use solo or to build out a session pre-game-night. It can also be used in-game on the fly for collaborative worldbuilding right at the table.'
