THE SCORE

Ki... ki... ki... ma... ma... ma...

So, heres the deal. Camp Clearwaters been abandoned since some

grisly, unsolved murders 20 years ago. Or whatever. The new ownerprobably made that up as some creepy story to tell the campers and

scare up business.

What I know is that weve got a couple weeks to get this place set up

before any campers arrive, and most of the hard work is already done.

Weve got enough booze, pot, and distance from authority to make

this the greatest summer ever.

What could go wrong?

MOVIE NIGHT

Friday the 13th Parts I and II, Sleepaway Camp, The Burning,

Madman, Just Before Dawn. Just about any slasher flick from the 70s or

80s is good inspiration. Wikipedia has a good list at

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slasher_film.

READ THIS! Seriously. Read it.

Slasher films are notorious for late-movie revelations and plot twists,

and Camp Death is no exception. The Who Is The Killer?section at the

end of this Playset includes a few options for determining the identity

of the killer. Before starting the game, take a look at the options and

decide which you want to use.

One final note: take care when choosing Relationships in this Playset.

Many of the elements, such as those under Local, assume that only

one character will be a camp counselor, and this may result in

difficult or impossible combinations.

Special rules

Stunt dice

Before starting, remove two white dice and two black dice from the

dice pool, and replace them with four red stunt dice. Then roll themall to kick off the game as normal.

Whenever a stunt die is picked to resolve a scene, someone dies.

Usually this will be an NPC, but dont be afraid to kill a PC this way.

Just dont killkill the character; do the deed off-camera to leave a

bit of uncertainty. You never know when someone might make an

unexpected reappearance.

Whichever player picks the stunt die to resolve the scene gets to de-cide whether that die is white or black for that scene.

During the Aftermath, dont roll any of the stunt dice. They wont

affect your final outcome. However, they might help determine just

who is killing people at Camp Clearwater.

Who is the killer?

Slasher films are notorious for late-movie revelations and plot twists,and Camp Death is no exception. Before starting the game, choose

one of the following three ways to identify the killer:

1. I always knew there was something wrong with that one.

Just play the game as usual. The stunt dice will assure that people

are dying, but let the fiction organically determine the identity of the

killer. The identity of the killer will probably become obvious as the

game winds down.

2. Everyone is a suspect.

During play, any player who receives a stunt die may no longer

appear on-camera in any scene with the killer. During the

Aftermath, each player with stunt dice should roll them separately.

Whoever has the highest total is the killer. If anyone ties, then they

were both killers and were working together.

But, you say, what if a PC was in a scene with the killer beforehe

or she received a stunt die? Then apparently this slasher movie had

a low budget and the mistake wasnt caught until after the film wascut. It wouldnt be the first B-rate horror flick with plot holes.


14/14

3. Oh my God, its Old Man Withers!

Immediately before rolling the Aftermath, roll all the stunt dice. Use

these dice to create two new relationships, connecting two of the

characters to a newly revealed NPC. This NPC is the killer.

Everyone should pitch in ideas for the relationships and identity, but

players who ended up with stunt dice get final say on assigning their

dice to the relationship details. As in the Setup, the final stunt die is

wild and can be any number.

If any players did notend up with stunt dice, they get the final say on

which PCs those relationships connect with.

Once the identity of the killer has been defined, roll the Aftermath.
