If you’ve been following me for any period of time you know that I started out my career in games writing with Paranormal and Slasher, both of which were published by Exalted Funeral.
Last year I spent some time doing a short revision on both of those games, to give them a little new life, but couldn’t print new books due to contract obligations. However, since then I’ve still wanted to revise, rewrite, and expand both games—and now I plan to!
SLASHER: The Final Cut, is coming to Kickstarter on September 20th!
This version of Slasher features expanded rules, clarifications, Victim/Slasher background creations, setting concepts and more! And even better—it leaves room for supplemental content! We hope if the campaign garners enough interest to print several pamphlets in the future that layout a fully scoped out setting, including a well-developed killer, and a series of characters for players to choose from!
But for now—let’s stick with the basics.
SLASHER is a tabletop story game pitting a violent and demented killer against a group of unwitting youths. Take your tales to unknown places with complete improvisation using the tools inside. Future pamphlets full of backstories, settings, and pre-made characters to come!
Slasher uses a unique block tower mechanic to simulate the stress, and finality of being chased and ultimately murdered by a brutal and sadistic killer.
Players take turns making moves, taking or placing blocks in the tower, and describing their activities. The game ends when the players escape using the Escape Clock, or the Slasher drains the table of every last drop of blood.
Play out your favorite films, create your own unique stories, or create ridiculous combination of both!

LET’S FUCKING KILL THIS
