Shelter in Place
Shelter in Place is a live action game of zombie horror!
Have you ever wondered what you would do if you were in a zombie movie? Shelter in Place is your way to find out. This is a game of zombie horror with a twist. It blends all the fun of a good old-fashioned game of tag, with the camp and action of a zombie horror film.
Players take on the role of Zombies or Humans as they play out the events of a zombie apocalypse. Fans of live-action role-playing games will love the built-in tension system, but Shelter in Place is excellent for a summer camp game, as a team-building exercise for a hip workplace, or even a lighthearted wedding reception. What’s the twist? Well, that’s the part that you decide.
Have a party.
Get refreshments.
Turn up the music.

For fiction from the zombie apocalypse, check out Gimme Shelter, the official Shelter in Place anthology.
Zombies walk the earth as a father finds food for his daughter in the wasteland. A gun travels from hand to hand. Teenagers make out in a barn while zombies rise outside, and a woman deals with the most important third-date question. Stories of suspense, horror, adventure, and romance meet in this anthology of short fiction.

Hi bought the Shelter in Place book as thought it looked like it would be good to play as an aditional game at my Zombie themed survival weekends (www.zombiesw.co.uk) either as an additional game the morning after or to be incorperated into the existing game for more in depth gameplay… it says in the book that there is printable character sheets etc. on this website but I can’t find them?
Thanks Dom Spens
