2019-12-02 01:44:38 +0000 UTC View PostCristian Lopez kept to side streets on his way across Nightfall. The sounds of the city had changed in the past twenty-four hours. The welcome noises of suburbia had been replaced by truck engines, helicopter rotors, automatic gunfire, growls, and screams. He just wanted to get out of town. He wa...
2019-11-29 17:47:41 +0000 UTC View PostHello patrons and zombie lovers. It’s almost Thanksgiving here in the US which officially kicks off the holiday season. As a fan of all things horror, I reject the idea that Halloween is the start of the holiday season. I like to keep my spooky decorations up even a few weeks after All Hallows ...

2019-11-17 14:01:00 +0000 UTC View PostIn a landslide vote, an airport won as the new location for a scenario. Though I wanted to make it a small airport, a few developments have led to me making it a much larger airport. One of my supporters has also chosen to use his reward to name the airport, The G. R. & R. International Airpo...

2019-11-01 19:45:12 +0000 UTC View PostHello friends, choice gamers, and horror readers. This month has been a big month for me. I had my surgery and all went well. I’ve been recovering for the past few weeks. For the first week of my recuperation, I didn’t work much. The pain and discomfort were large sources of distraction, thou...
2019-10-27 19:15:40 +0000 UTC View PostMy surgery went well last week and I am finally starting to feel back to my old self. Yesterday, I wrote 2000 words for the next Safe Haven beta. My wife was a bit upset at how hard I pushed but I was on a roll. (No pun intended, seeing as though I use a wheelchair.) Despite having surgery, all o...
2019-10-18 12:10:42 +0000 UTC View PostIn our third poll to help create a new scenario for chapter 11, we will name and provide traits for a solo survivor you will meet while scavenging the location chosen.
Claude - drunken, moral paramedic who seems insane. He wants to hoard all items he finds.
This is a follow-up to the scenario poll from 3 days ago in which we pick a new location to visit. For this poll, we can start of by choosing the top characters to join the mission.
Some characters are popular for these polls, but we should add opportunities for other characters. The most p...

Tom looked up from his clipboard, gazing down the path outside the Cathedral. Towards him walked Carl, his friend for years, co-owner of this strange endeavor. The man climbing the path looked different than most days: his hair tussled, beard too long with hair creeping over his lips, and eyes ha...

2019-10-01 13:01:02 +0000 UTC View PostThe last hour of Sifer’s life flashed before her eyes like a slideshow flipping too fast. She removed her face mask with a gasp and took measured breaths to calm herself.

As her father pulled the BMW into the gas station named Marty's, Sifer finally spoke up. "Are you going to admit that you’re lost?"

He could drink two cups of dark roast and sleep like a baby before the liquid had cooled in his stomach. Being on the road, drinking coffee...
