#deadpanic

So last night during board game night here at the store I took up the role of Julie in the table top game Dead Panic by Fireside Games.  Myself and four others had to defend our cabin in the woods against the hordes of zombies shambling our way.  Julie was only out there delivering a pizza to Father Michael the Priest, Barbara the Convict, Ray the Paramedic and  Al the Construction Worker. What they were doing in that cabin together before I arrived I guess I'll never know.  Things were rough, we didn't have a lot of supplies on hand at first but after searching the cabin we all found some gear and weapons to defend ourselves from the impending doom.  A moan bellowed through the night and we knew the zombies had found us. I took aim at a sh ambler and took it out with my rifle but one of the fast moving ones managed to get right to the wall and damage it enough.  Al using some rope he found, managed to pull a survivor Texas style through an open window and into the cabin and out of harms way. Bob the survivor was grateful and gave us a part to his broken radio for saving him. Father Michael patched up the damaged wall then started rummaging through more cupboard in the cabin looking for useful items to fight back the horde.  Barbara, watched in horror as another survivor was taken down and turned right before her eyes. This must have angered her because she darted out the front door into the night with the fire axe I gave her and tried to avenge her. Meanwhile Ray managed to drop another one of the shambling zombies with his crossbow much like Daryl in the Walking Dead.  This is when things went from bad to worse as more moans broke out in the night and many more zombies came out of the woods.  Barbara managed to fight off the zombies and searched the survivors body to find another broken radio just in time to watch another survivor break out of the woods and get taken down by two more zombies. In the death blow of the survivor we noticed the last part to fix the radio tumble out of the hands of the victim and Barbara was only a few feet from it.  Myself and Father Michael protected the weakening cabin walls while Al and Ray managed to take down some of the zombies and protect Barbara so she could get back inside and fix the radio.  Al managed to take out a hulking zombie with his elephant gun just in time to watch one of the cabin walls break into splinters as the horde broke through.  Father Michael chain saw roared to life and took down the zombie who broke in and I watched Ray frantically search for something else to use in the cabin.  Ray panicked as a zombie hidden in the stove broke free and attacked him, but he quickly gathered himself and beat it down with his wrench. The zombies kept on coming but we managed to radio for help and soon Barbara friend with the SUV showed up to get us out of there, only problem is we had to get to the truck.  Everyone made a mad dash to the SUV and I covered them from behind.  I emptied my pistol into a few zombies in time to get bitten but I pulled out my flare gun and set one on fire. Everyone made it into the SUV as the horde started crawling all over it. I had to beat them off with my tire iron and got bit again but I finally made it into the vehicle and got away.  Now I only hope we can find a cure in time before I turn.

Alright, this is going to be a hodge-podge of topics, so I'll try and keep each one brief.

First of all, an update on my Ouya woes:  I did (finally) hear back from Ouya support in response to my support ticket.  They had me fill out a form and take a picture of my controller's serial number.  Progress I guess, although there's still no word on when my second controller will ship, and I'm guessing the return of my original controller is not going to be quick.

For Malifaux, I know it's been a couple weeks already since my last video.  It's actually been a bit hectic for me, since we just did a BoardGasm event and I've been getting quite a few hours at work.  Don't worry though, I have the weekend off and I intend to get the video filmed and posted by Monday.

Now that I've covered all of the old business, I wanted to mention a board game that I just learned about:  Dead Panic.  This game is from the makers of Castle Panic, and is technically a re-theme of that game into the zombie apocalypse genre (with a few extra bits).  The gist of it is that players are survivors of the apocalypse, hiding in a deserted cabin in the woods while waves of zombies attack.

Most of the game is the same as Castle Panic, but here are the things that set Dead Panic apart:

Instead of defending towers, each player has a character that they have to try and keep alive.  Characters have special abilities, and can actually move around the board.

Instead of having to look up zombie special abilities a la Castle Panic, zombie abilities are shown on the tokens via iconography.  This will allow for a much larger selection of zombies, with less reference required.

In addition to zombies, other survivors will also make their way to the cabin, and will need to be protected.  Each survivor will carry components required to build a radio, and once constructed said radio will call a rescue van which characters will need to get to to win the game.

If a character dies, he/she comes back as a super-tough zombie with special powers under the player's control.

As you can see, this is similar to Castle Panic, but with a lot of neat extra features.  Definitely a game to watch for!
