Hey everyone,

I'm launching Borrowed Time (v0.1), a new, free, 28mm miniature wargame where 2-8 players dive into cinematic zombie survival. One player controls the relentless undead as The Director, while others fight as desperate Survivors to complete objectives and outlast the horde. Thematic Inspiration includes the Left4Dead video game.

Key features include:

1. Dynamic Actions: Survivors use Action Points for tactical movement, combat, searching for supplies, and more.
2. Escalating Threat: The Director utilizes a "Heat Track" to unleash various zombie types, including Shamblers, Hordes, Screamers, Brutes, Hunters, and Bloaters, based on Survivor actions.
3. Objective-Based Scenarios: Each game is driven by unique scenarios with distinct objectives and board layouts.

!!! I'm seeking playtesters and feedback from the community to help refine this free ruleset. Your input will be invaluable for future revisions!

Thanks for checking it out!

Love the old-school pen-and-ink graphics. Looking forward to trying it out later this year.
