Shelter In Place, by J.R. Blackwell, is a survival game of Zombie Horror with a twist.
The game is designed to capture the frenetic and cinematic character of zombie movies. Players can take on the roles of Humans or Zombies in a desperate conflict to survive. The Humans goal is to try to survive in an area plagued by Zombies. The Zombies only have one goal, to eat some brains. The Humans must use their wits to survive, making sacrifices in order to live through the night. The Zombies must use their brute, unrelenting strength and teamwork to overpower the humans and eat some delicious brains.

- Daniel Soilis discusses designing the cover: “I decided to use real photos to make it clear that this isn’t a tabletop RPG, which would normally use illustrations or computer-generated art on the cover. The first thing you see is a pair of eyes staring right back at you. I imagine these eyes would pop even if the book is on the back rack in the indie RPG shelves.”
- David Moore on Shelter In Place: I’ve played in LARPs before. I’ve played in LARPs with zombies before. Never have I actually scared about the zombies in a LARP. Shelter In Place changed that.
