It’s here. It’s grimy. It’s loaded.
After countless test rolls, sleepless rewrites, and just enough duct tape to hold this wasteland together, DEAD SIMPLE has officially hit Release v1.0. This update isn't just polish—it's a full-on expansion. Let’s break it down:
The apocalypse just got wheels.
Stats for 13 vehicle types including:
Squad Car
RV
Ambulance
Big Rig
Humvee
Each comes with detailed stats: fuel use, durability, carry capacity, and more.
Not all shamblers are created equal.
Added a new variant to keep your players on their toes (and hopefully off the menu):
Bloaters: Leaking black ichor and mean as hell.
Three major factions now haunt the wastes:
The Union of Mercy – Healers with a dark secret
The ARC (Anomaly Resolution Center) – Authoritarian survivalists with a God complex
F.U.C. – Chaotic scavengers with sharp tongues and sharper weapons
Each faction includes ideology, leadership, rumors, and gameplay hooks.
Cassie’s survival blog gets more entries (yes, she’s still alive and still pissed).
New Traits added, including Adrenaline Junkie, Try Hard, and Die Hard.
PDF now includes bookmarks because we’re not monsters.
Crafting, combat, and stress systems finalized for core play.
This is still a wasteland. There will be bugs. Report ‘em. Break the system. Tell wild stories. This world is yours now—just don’t forget to breathe.
