EXPANSIONS:

Z-KOM VICTIMARY: 

The Z-KOM VICTIMARY is a collection of tools, victims and mechanics for the Z-KOM NEMESIS.

In this expansion you will find: 

 - 8 different Z-KOM VICTIMS

- "Combat Analysis" Z-KOMs unique faction ability.

- New mechanics for exploration and world interaction.

- Experimental Equipment to shake every battle.

- Squad mechanics so that the soldiers survive a little longer.

Everything packed in a printable pamphlet format, with amazing art by Raúl el Ghoul.


HENS & CHICKS

HENS & CHICKS is the first official module of XENO, which takes a group of newly spawned XENOS through the genetic research lab "MONOD," with the sole objective of rescuing MOTHER from the clutches of Z-KOM.

In this 38-page ZINE, you will find:

  • A story filled with reverse horror, drama, and extreme violence.
  • Rules for Combat Against Multiple VICTIMS and for ALLIES vs VICTIMS.
  • A glimpse into the world of XENO and its lore.
  • Random tables for VICTIM names and dangers in the ventilation DUCTS.
  • Brutal artwork by Raúl el Ghoul.



Xeno is based on role-playing games such as Mork Borg, Pathfinder 2e, and The Witch is Dead, and inspired by works like Alien, The Thing, Carrion, and X-Com.
