Zone/Apocalypse of the Dead

January 29, 2010

Remember Zone of the Dead, the Serbian zombie movie starring Ken Foree of original Dawn of the Dead fame, that I mentioned way back in may?

I for one am happy to hear that it’s finally getting its DVD-release outside Serbia, under the title Apocalypse of the Dead. The release date is set at March 1st this year. Pre-ordering can be done at Play.com, for example.

And for those of you not bothering to click on the link above, here’s the trailer again:

A special offer you can’t refuse

January 23, 2010

I’m sure everyone’s aware of the tragic earthquake and its consequences in Haiti. If you’ve not yet helped out – and in all honesty, you should – DriveThruRPG.com is giving you an outstanding opportunity to not only help, but also be rewarded for it with more than a warm feeling inside.

Gamers Help Haiti is a program in which you can buy massive bundles of gaming stuff for a huge discount. All the profit goes direct to Doctors Without Borders. I went for the $20 deal, in which you get downloads – eBooks etc – worth a total of $1481. Yes, you read that right.

Of special interest to me and maybe to Dawn of the Lead’s readers are for example:

  • Shambles, an RPG in which you play a zombie.
  • Streets of Mayhem, the immensely popular urban cityscape cardboard terrain set from WorldWorksGames.
  • Zombacalypse, a source book for the Æther Role-Playing System, which should be useful in other gaming as well.
  • Zombie Apocalypse, a loopable soundscape to be used as inspiring thematic background audio.

And there’s loads more. Basically whatever you’re into, you should find something useful here.

Read the full info @  Gamers Help Haiti, and give some money to a good cause.

2010: To Do

January 1, 2010

I’m not really one for New Year’s resolutions. However, I’m all for planning ahead and getting stressed out. So what’s in store for 2010? Let’s see:

  • More zombies. I’ve got a bunch to paint, unsurprisingly.
  • Adversaries for the zombies. I’ve been thinking of getting military types, such as Eureka’s Bundeswehr and d&p’s modern French and Italian troopers.
  • I need to finish the modern vampires and werewolves that I have unpainted for my Underworld-project.
  • The urban gaming table I’ve been meaning to do for a while. Maybe that might get me gaming a bit more.
  • Some Empire for my WHFB army. We had a world of fun on Boxing Day, and it somewhat restored my faith in WHFB.
  • There are still player characters and NPC’s for our Pathfinder RPG campaign that need painting.
  • I want to sculpt more, so should get some of that done too. I have a few WIP zombies on my desk as I write.
  • Keep updating this blog. It’s become a nice little hobby in itself!

Hope to see you guys – and a whole lot of new ones too – during 2010. Happy new year, and thanks for reading Dawn of the Lead!

With this I’m off to Sharm el Sheikh in Egypt for two weeks of sunbathing and diving, so no new updates until after January 16th.
