You’re not an professional monster hunter. You haven’t been taught the ancient rites by a secret society of protectors. Your arrival wasn’t foretold in the prophecies. That person just showed up, and now they’re dead.
In The Slayer is Dead , you play as a perfectly ordinary person, caught in exactly the wrong place when a supernatural threat breaks loose. To make things worse, the only hero here just became monster food.
The Slayer is Dead is a tabletop role playing game for 1+ players with Mundane characters and a game master (GM). Your only aim is to survive the monster attack. Killing it? That’s extra credit. This game aims for a tone of spooky hijinks, subscribes to the Rule of Cool philosophy, and urges the use of safety tools like the X-Card.
