The Road Reapers ______________________________________________________________________ Warning! Horror, Violence, Zombies & the Supernatural The fictional world of Dead Reign® contains subject matter that deals with the supernatural, death cults, zombies, conspiracy theories, the paranormal, magic, war and extreme violence. The setting is our modern world taken over by the walking dead – zombies. Hideous animated corpses that feed upon the living. The heroes are ordinary people who battle for their own survival and to reclaim the world from the dead. Human civilization has collapsed, our cities and towns are infested with zombies, madmen and cultists. Some parents may find the subject matter, violence, magic and supernatural elements of the game inap- propriate for young readers/players. Furthermore, the realistic manner in which the fictional horror mate- rial is presented may be disturbing for some young readers. WE STRONGLY SUGGEST PARENTAL DISCRETION. Please note that none of us at Palladium Books® condone or encourage the occult, the practice of magic, the use of drugs, vigilantism or violence. ______________________________________________________________________ Sample file Fear the Reaper™ is a sourcebook for the Dead Reign® zombie role-playing game. 1 Dedication from the Author For everyone who feels the need to make their own path in life, from the trailblazers of old to modern day pioneers. There are always new frontiers out there for those who are willing to explore and take risks. – Matthew Clements, November 2013 Dedication To Matthew Clements, the author of this book. You’ve earned it. I love your imagination, the fact that you are up for any challenge and can write anything, and I admire your courage to follow your dreams. May those dreams come true. It is a joy working with you, Matt. – Kevin Siembieda, November 2013 The cover, by E.M. Gist, depicts a zombie Crawler bellowing in the middle of the road. In my imagination, this is a zombie that was just run over and cut in half. Originally submitted by E.M. Gist as a cover to The Rifter® #45, it inspired my idea for a Road Reaper Sourcebook. Thus, it seemed only fitting to also use it as the cover to this very book.

Erick’s legacy not only continues in the games and sourcebooks that bear his name, but in everyone he had touched over the years. And that is a great many people around the world. I would say I miss him, and I do, except ... I feel him (and Kay) with me every single day. Still prodding me to push my ideas further and sending me hope and inspiration when I need them most.

Compatible with the entire Palladium Books® Megaverse® 1 Dedication This book is dedicated to the late, great Elizabeth Mackay, a warrior woman as strong as any Shemarrian. Friend, “second mother,” and the greatest cheerleader an aspiring writer could ever ask for, she will continue to be missed. May her memory shine brighter than the light of the sun, stars and moon. – Josh Sinsapaugh, 2009 Special Thanks I have to acknowledge the contribution that John Pemberton unknowingly made to this manuscript when he invented my beverage of choice all those years ago. Am I being silly? Probably. But without that caffeine this book wouldn’t exist. Silliness aside, an even bigger thanks goes out to Kevin Siembieda, the folks at Palladium Books, and all of the freelance artists for their work on this book, and just for being a group of awesome guys and gals. And of course, thanks to my friends and family.
