Progress Update & Tariff Talk

Hello everyone,
We’re making steady progress on Evil Dead 2: The RPG and are thrilled with how the book is shaping up. That said, we’re currently in a bit of a holding pattern as we await the release of the new System Reference Document (SRD). Currently, the new SRD is expected to be released "within weeks." According to LaTia (D&D Community Manager) on February 18, the original SRD announcement from May 2024 (found here) remains accurate. Once that SRD drops, we’ll be able to go full tilt on locking in mechanics, finalizing content, and charging down the chainsaw-lined path to completion.
About Those Tariffs
We’ve heard concerns about potential international tariffs, especially with recent changes making waves in the tabletop space. We're actively exploring options to reduce or eliminate extra costs for backers. While we don’t have a final answer yet, we’re committed to doing our best to protect backers from unexpected costs.
Further Updates
We can’t wait to start sharing more previews of the horrors and hilarity within these pages. In the meantime, thank you for sticking with us. Your patience and passion help keep this project alive!
Moving Forward with Backerkit!

Hey, groovy people!
We wanted to give you all a quick update on where things stand with Evil Dead 2 5E.

This will be the central hub for managing pledges, add-ons, and late backers, ensuring everything runs as smoothly as a chainsaw through… well, you get it.
In the meantime, we don’t want to leave you empty-handed! Feast your eyes on some new art straight from the book—guaranteed to get you pumped for the horrors and hilarity that await.
We appreciate your patience and support!

LAST 28 HOURS: Bonus Adventure + Final Stretch Goal!
almost 2 years ago
– Sat, Dec 21, 2024 at 02:39:02 PM
Thanks to you, Deadite Slayers, this Kickstarter has been a Groovy Success!
We can’t thank you enough for your incredible support! This campaign has exceeded all expectations—not only did we fund in the first 30 minutes, but we also smashed through every stretch goal, including the Bonus Adventure penned by a legend of the RPG industry!
But the fight’s not over yet!
With less than 28 hours to go, we’re gearing up for a final push to make this project truly unforgettable. To sweeten the deal, we’re unlocking one last surprise stretch goal:
FINAL STRETCH GOAL: Shemps & Improvised Weapons!
Shemps
Your adventures don’t always need hardened adventurers with magic swords and bags of holding. Sometimes, your players need to step into the shoes of someone...ordinary. Shemps are grab-and-go templates designed for one-shots or short campaigns, offering quick-to-pilot, low-powered, barely-equipped characters perfect for jumping straight into the carnage.
Improvised Weapons
In the chaos of survival horror, anything can become a weapon—whether it’s a shovel, a lamp, or an antique mannequin head. This system introduces a detailed list of mundane items with rules for using them as gear and as improvised weapons when survival depends on creativity.
The Final Countdown!
With the clock ticking down, let’s go out with a bombastic finale! Share the campaign with your friends, your gaming groups, and anyone who loves the blend of classic horror, over-the-top action, and tabletop adventure.
Thank you for being the heart and soul of this killer campaign. Let’s make this last day as unforgettable as Ash’s one-liners.
