The Walking Dead RPG

The Walking Dead has always been about characters facing impossible choices in an unforgiving world. In The Walking Dead Universe Roleplaying Game, you enter into the world of the dead and must face these choices head on. You can do this at any point in the timeline – encountering familiar faces and locations, or new ones – but the hardest choice will always be the same: Who are you going to be?"

How to Get Into the Action
If you have a friend that already places, they have have everything you need to get into the game! If you're looking to GM a session, or just want to explore the lore of the Alien universe, read on!
Below are some affiliate links for things I myself have purchased and tried out. Roll well!
Start Here
The Starter Box is usually a good way to explore a new game, and for this one, it's no exception. It comes with a basic rulebook, and some pre-generated characters for a short campaign to get your party used to the gameplay. But if you're wanting the full-blown rules (and the lore), grab the Core Rulebook. The DM screen is a nice resource if you'll be running the campaign for your group.
Extras
You don't need to purchase extra dice. The starter box comes with enough to play the game. But, you'll need to pass these around / share them among other players, so having an extra set of each will help speed the game up. Also, for storage, I simply keep the components in the Starter box.
Storage / Transport
Currently finding that the start box acts as a great way to store the dice, character sheets, maps, etc that are included in the game!
Painting
No minis come with this game to paint up, but you could always incorporate some, and terrain to help bring your setting to life!
Army Building
No army building here; party creation handled by character sheets and your DM!
