Summary
From the Noble Knight Games web site:
HP Lovecraft created the mythical college “Miskatonic University” in his classic horror tales. When the students hear a lecture on the reanimation of the dead, they just can’t help themselves. Zombies on campus… again? The players uncover what is going on and try to save the world!
This game is a tribute to Lovecraft’s story “Herbert West: the Reanimater”. It is a hobby game with no educational message. It’s just for fun!
Comments / Trivia
Dead Man on Campus is one of Hamster Games' Engle Matrix Games (a formula for a style of game, not a specific game.) It is not necessary to have any other game to play this game.
Dead Man on Campus appears to have been published in a boxed format twice, in 2007 and 2009. The 2007 game had a single sheet of character cards, where the 2009 game had separate character cards, and there may have been other changes as well. This game was also combined with Cthulhu on Campus to form Cthulhu on Campus - Dead Man on Campus (2007) in Ziploc format (whatever that is.)
