Blood in the North

**Blood in the North** (abv. *BitN*) is the Third Game created by Game Master Jonny Christie and is set in Toronto, Canada. It follows a group of individuals surviving after the events of a Zombie Apocalypse.

The game uses the *All Flesh Must Be Eaten* Ruleset and currently stars Antoine SinClaire, Anthony Hotchkiss, Kyle Muller, Monti, Joanna Battersby, & Vin Craig.

Former Cast members include Richie Maynard, Frankie Ramos, Corey Sexton, Matt Christie, Darryl Walaszek, and Dani Morrison.

It is currently in its fourth season.

## Development

BitN was conceptualized all the way back in mid 2017 by Game Master Jonny Christie when he decided to create a follow-up series to The Numen Swell which was just starting up. He had always loved the idea of a Zombie Apocalypse and wanted to build a universe using that premise.

The biggest difference between this campaign and previous ones is that it is a rotating cast. Instead of creating a new character after dying, the player is removed from the cast and replaced a brand new player. This was intended to keep the game feeling fresh and also keep any new players from metagaming information from previous sessions.

The ruleset chosen was *All Flesh Must Be Eaten* for one simple reason, character creation was much more advanced than some of the other publishers' "play as yourself" motif.

Finally, casting began in early 2019 for the first set of survivors. Using mostly returning players, Christie knew that if he had a mix of new and old performers, it would be easier to find replacements once characters began to fall off.

The first session was played on October 20th, 2019 with players Antoine SinClaire, Matt Christie, and Richie Maynard.

## Setting

BitN is set in Toronto, Canada around the year 2010. It is purposefully left ambiguous to avoid being stuck in a forced timeframe.

## Plot

The first season starts 70 days into the apocalypse and centers around a group of unlikely characters from all sorts of life prior to Armageddon.

The second season follows the Zoo Crew dealing with their first Human threat.

The third season takes numerous conjoined stories in an anthology form and brings in the threat of government involvement.

The fourth season puts the party back on the road and adds machines to the ever growing threats to humanity.
