After hundreds of expeditions into the free digital version, the gorgeous boxed physical edition of tabletop RPG The Zone is finally funding on Kickstarter as of today, September 27.
What is The Zone? The Zone is a tabletop RPG for 1-6 players about lost souls on a surreal play-to-lose journey to the center of an alien place that manifests their phobias and obsessions until everyone mutates and only one survives.
The game is inspired by Annihilation, Stalker, Roadside Picnic, and the SCP Foundation.
The team previews, “It’s a doomed journey for 1-6 players into a psychedelic place procedurally generated from character’s inner psyches, with unique play-to-lose mechanics that create an experience halfway between Annihilation and a tarot reading that only one player can survive. It’s incredibly accessible to beginners and designed to be played… in the dark.”
“This is a game about mutating deeply flawed characters to bring them face-to-face with their deepest phobias and obsessions. Characters are defined in just a few minutes from the thing they want most and their greatest fear, and every part of the game is designed to push a wedge into their psyche to confront them with who they really are….”
The CORE SET includes 50+ Scene cards, 30+ Not So Easy cards, 14 Fate cards, plus Holographic Foil Tarot sized cards for 40+ Locations, 40+ Motivations, and 7 Character Archetypes, as well as the Operation Manual and Facilitator cards.

After teasing fans about beetles, Crytek has finally given up the goods as to just what exactly Hunt: Showdown players can expect from the new Stalker Beetles. The new flying “character” is part of the upcoming 1.10 patch that’s currently being tested in Hunt: Showdown‘s test server.
As described by the post, the Stalker Beetle consumable is controlled by a Player in first person view, and as suspected, functions as a reconnaissance item. The Stalker Beetle is unlocked at Bloodline Rank 15 and costs $45 of your in-game money to use. It can also be found in the new Cocoon lootable. The Beetle is activated by tossing it as you would a stick of dynamite, and (in a coincidence) can be detonated to cause damage to opposing players.
During the time the player has the Stalker Beetle activated, they cannot move or perform any other actions, and are obviously vulnerable to attack. Instead of blowing it up, the Beetle can be deactivated by returning it to the ground, where it can be picked up by the player. However, other players can also pick up the Beetle for their own use.
In addition to spying on other Hunters, players can use the Stalker Beetles to locate monsters, but keep in mind that the Beetle can interact with the environment (make noise on props that they touch, startle crows and horses, and trigger traps), as well as emit a distinct noise, so it’s not exactly a silent camera.
The Hunt: Showdown 1.10 patch isn’t just devoted the Stalker Beetle, as it also includes the usual tweaks and bug fixes, including changes to weapon pricing, and trait point costs, and changes to map spawn points and landmarks.
Currently, there’s no release date as of yet for the 1.10 patch.
