Today's small Thing is just links to
some complete zombie-themed products. Yea, Free! Most items you
once had to pay for, but are now free.
The first is Monster Island by David Wellington. It's the first novel of a three-part zombie series. All three books are there, complete. You can order them from Amazon or read them free. The stuff I've read is pretty good and it's not just internet wankery like most free writing. He's also posted some other books there as well.
And now, a bunch of free zombie games. Follow the links on the Game Board Geek site pages to download maps, rules, etc.
Zombie Plague---haven't read the rules to this one, but it looks like an expandable miniatures game.
Dawn of the Dead---Based on the 1978 movie. I actually owned this game back in the early eighties and played the heck out of it. The free version will require a lot of cutting and set-up, but it's all there.
Dead of Night---I downloaded this game a few months ago. The rules sound fun, it's like a more expansive version of Zombies where the tension is ratcheted up as the game goes on. However, just visiting the site, I notice it's no longer free because the game has been picked up by a publisher. That's good news 'cause now I can buy it at the game store eventually with cool bits.
Check out the many Zombie lists on Board Game Geek for head munching fun.

Cheap Promotion

Today ain't no big Thang. In trying to
promote this blog, I went to this list of social networking sites. I signed up for over 30
of the 55 services, so lots more spam. I haven't seen much traffic
from the sign up...I did this a week ago and was squirreling away
this for a later Thing. Why are all of these sites almost identical
and very sparsely populated? Testimonials lie. Does anyone know of
a good blog promotion site to target readers who may be interested
in Things?
