Toxicity is a golden age RPG that mixes cutting edge rules with old-school dungeon crawling beneath the meat-streets of 70's NYC.

STORY SEEDS WRITTEN!

ITS A LEVEL THREE OUTBREAK!
Hey folks, we've been having some fun the last few days. As we continue to reach new Stretch goal me and the team are actually writing them as we go along. So they will be READY (like the main text is) for layout the day the Kickstarter ends. So you can get your PDF's and they can go to the printer soon after.
Since we already reached the STORY SEED stretch goal, we just finished writing the first four. And since Kicktraq says we are likely to clear 27k (lets hope!) we're nearly done with the next four as well.
To give you a little taste here is our first STORY SEED, just keep in mind this is not the actual layout, its just how I wrote it up in google docs. Gets across the idea still, I hope. A story nugget with lots of hooks, a handout to give to players, something they can study and examine in detail as the adventure progresses.
See if you can spot the FEAR & LOATHING references!
AND A STARTING POST ON THIS YEAR’S
MINT 500: TUNNEL & SAND DERBY!

Toxic ladies and gents,
Thank you for helping I Am Zombie: Toxicity pass $10,000 in pledges! Brilliant job!
Thanks to all your support, we have just added a bunch more ID cards, bringing the total number of cards funded by this project up to 108! But... we are not yet finished fleshing out your Toxicity packages:
At $12,000 in pledges comes those Skagalicious dice we mentioned in the last update! What’s even groovier than that? YOU all get to decide the final color combination of the new Toxicity dice! All your friends will be envious of these Scourge-infected d6s...
BREAKING NEWS: We interrupt your regularly scheduled update for this Toxicity Category 6 Emergency broadcast from Make Believe Games:
Infection Escalation!

We have reached a category five infection! Woo-hoo! This means four slammin’ Story Seeds have been added to every I Am Zombie: Toxicity package going out to our backers. Great work, everyone!
These dynamite adventure hooks feature exciting plots, colorful villains, and other Toxploitation goodness, all framed in glorious full-color art. Story Seeds are the perfect starting point for any Toxicity game, be it a regular gaming group or a quick pick-up session. You catching our drift, daddy-o?
We are now edging close to that 10K mark, and you all know what that means: An extra 24 ID cards (bringing the total to 108)! If we reach that milestone, this project will fund a whole smorgasbord of tasty new options for your zombie characters!
For those who haven’t seen, we went ahead and added a horde of new stretch goals to the list, including funky Toxicity dice, additional Story Seeds, the Skagalicious storage tin, Professor DJ’s grindhouse mix tape (from our partners at Purgatory Press), and the super IAZ adventure, “Skag City.” Thanks for your support, and let’s keep spreading that infection!

You guys are the best!
With your help I Am Zombie: Toxicity has just reached a category four level infection! What does this mean? Well, not only have we unlocked the Toxploitation Sticker Pack but also a bunch more ID cards and the sleek sexy Narrator Screen. 24 more ID cards (bringing the total to 84) means more choices and options for your I Am Zombie characters.
The Narrator's Screen is enough to make even the wealthiest profane jealous. It’s loaded with useful information and tips to make your games run smoothly. The glorious landscape art will comfort players as they face the terrors of your next hellhole.
We have been listening to your feedback and receiving your suggestions. We really appreciate that. At the moment, we are investigating some new options to enhance the campaign and give you more of what you want.
Now, we need your help to dial things up and spread the infection to category five. Our next milestone is the addition of 4 MORE STORY SEEDS to Book 3. These amazing little gems give you a solid framework for some exciting adventures. Each comes locked and loaded with stunning full-color Toxploitation art.
Now, while the CDC would have something to say about things… we say screw the man and pump up the volume! Spread the infection as far you can!
Together we can make this the most Far Out I Am Zombie Kickstarter yet
HAIL AMIRANI! LORD OF DEATH!

Toxicity is a Go!

Toxic ladies and gentlemen,
We did it! I Am Zombie: Toxicity is fully funded, thanks to all of you! On the first day of our campaign, we blew past not only our starting funding goal, but also the 100 individual backer mark, with nearly four weeks to spare.
Thankfully, the toxploitation fun is just beginning.
We've already unlocked the first stretch goal, the Toxploitation Sticker Pack, and are now working on unlocking more ID cards for IAZ fans to enjoy when we hit the $7,000 mark.
As you can see, there's much more grindhouse-y goodness on the way, so help us keep the momentum rolling!
