The Last Man’s Guide to the Deadlands: A Survival Toolkit for Solo Players and GMs

The Last Man’s Guide to the Deadlands Search. Scavenge. Survive the Dead. It’s not the end of the world, but you can see it from here. Step into the Deadlands, a world of rusted hospitals, looted malls, and creaking suburban houses, each holding one more desperate story waiting to unfold. The Last Man’s Guide to the Deadlands is a survival-driven supplement for any zombie RPG system, designed to capture the heart-pounding tension of scavenging runs and dangerous urban exploration. Inside you’ll find: Detailed scavenging tables for hospitals, malls, liquor stores, libraries, fire stations, and houses. Custom encounters and events that turn every search into a story. Optional traits and rules for survivors hardened by booze, loss, and desperation. Foes of the Deadlands such as fodder zombies, scavengers, and the deeply unsettling Crazy Alice (The Nurse). A built-in Yes/No oracle for quick solo decision-making. No special rules system is required. All you need are three D6 and the zombie RPG of your choice. It works beautifully with games like Tiny Living Dead, The Walking Dead RPG, Savage Worlds, or All Flesh Must Be Eaten. While tuned for the solo player, this guide also shines as a GM assistant, providing a toolbox for on-the-fly inspiration, gritty encounters, and unforgettable tension. If you enjoy scavenging through ruins, rolling to see what’s behind that door, and building your own stories from the bones of the old world, then this book is for you. Written by Peter Norton (Hollowponds Solo Sagas), creator of Cyberpunk RED: Single Player Mode and one of the leading voices in solo RPG design.
