Character Sheets and Cheat Sheets for Head Shot: the Zombie Apocalypse Cortex Hack

If you haven’t checked out my zombie apocalypse action-horror hack Head Shot! for the Cortex roleplaying game system, you haven’t truly experienced my love for zombie action-survival cinema. The intent is for it to mix The Walking Dead with Evil Dead: hopeless, but with an irreverent silliness.

Anyway, here’s a bunch of resources for the game.

HEAD SHOT! Character Sheet, Form-Fillable version – PDF via Google Docs

HEAD SHOT! Cheat Sheets/GM Screen – PDF via Google Docs (includes both portrait and landscape layouts)

Cortex Prime SRD Update! If you already purchased Head Shot, this 8-page update to Cortex Prime and a sheet with the entire (Prime-updated) text of all Talents is available in your Library at DriveThruRPG! These tools should make playtesting Cortex Prime very easy, as well as make character creation much easier since you don’t have to cross-reference the Talents with any other source.

Dungeon World Fronts Template

Fronts are an amazing organizational tool codified in the Dungeon World roleplaying game that are incredibly useful for any roleplaying game when managing antagonistic organizations, cults, and factions. They act as a way to organize your thoughts on what opposes the player characters, developing clear goals (and the steps used to achieve them), establishing what resources an enemy group has, and listing important figures. From there, you can foreshadow, develop full adventures, and maintain the changing landscape of the opposition’s forces throughout the campaign.

Here’s a useful template for organizing your campaign’s Fronts.
