THE SCORE
Ki... ki... ki... ma... ma... ma...
So, heres the deal. Camp Clearwaters been abandoned since some grisly, unsolved murders 20 years ago. Or whatever. The new owner probably made that up as some creepy story to tell the campers and scare up business. What I know is that weve got a couple weeks to get this place set up before any campers arrive, and most of the hard work is already done. Weve got enough booze, pot, and distance from authority to make this the greatest summer ever. What could go wrong?

MOVIE NIGHT
Friday the 13th Parts I and II, Sleepaway Camp, The Burning, Madman, Just Before Dawn. Just about any slasher ick from the 70s or 80s is good inspiration. Wikipedia has a good list at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slasher_lm.

READ THIS! Seriously. Read it.


Slasher lms are notorious for late-movie revelations and plot twists, and Camp Death is no exception. The Who Is The Killer? section at the end of this Playset includes a few options for determining the identity of the killer. Before starting the game, take a look at the options and decide which you want to use. One nal note: take care when choosing Relationships in this Playset. Many of the elements, such as those under Local, assume that only one character will be a camp counselor, and this may result in difcult or impossible combinations.

Special rules
Stunt dice
Before starting, remove two white dice and two black dice from the dice pool, and replace them with four red stunt dice. Then roll them all to kick off the game as normal. Whenever a stunt die is picked to resolve a scene, someone dies. Usually this will be an NPC, but dont be afraid to kill a PC this way. Just dont kill kill the character; do the deed off-camera to leave a bit of uncertainty. You never know when someone might make an unexpected reappearance. Whichever player picks the stunt die to resolve the scene gets to decide whether that die is white or black for that scene. During the Aftermath, dont roll any of the stunt dice. They wont affect your nal outcome. However, they might help determine just who is killing people at Camp Clearwater.

Who is the killer?


Slasher lms are notorious for late-movie revelations and plot twists, and Camp Death is no exception. Before starting the game, choose one of the following three ways to identify the killer: 1. I always knew there was something wrong with that one. Just play the game as usual. The stunt dice will assure that people are dying, but let the ction organically determine the identity of the killer. The identity of the killer will probably become obvious as the game winds down. 2. Everyone is a suspect. During play, any player who receives a stunt die may no longer appear on-camera in any scene with the killer. During the Aftermath, each player with stunt dice should roll them separately. Whoever has the highest total is the killer. If anyone ties, then they were both killers and were working together. But, you say, what if a PC was in a scene with the killer before he or she received a stunt die? Then apparently this slasher movie had a low budget and the mistake wasnt caught until after the lm was cut. It wouldnt be the rst B-rate horror ick with plot holes.

3. Oh my God, its Old Man Withers! Immediately before rolling the Aftermath, roll all the stunt dice. Use these dice to create two new relationships, connecting two of the characters to a newly revealed NPC. This NPC is the killer. Everyone should pitch in ideas for the relationships and identity, but players who ended up with stunt dice get nal say on assigning their dice to the relationship details. As in the Setup, the nal stunt die is wild and can be any number. If any players did not end up with stunt dice, they get the nal say on which PCs those relationships connect with. Once the identity of the killer has been dened, roll the Aftermath.
