Escape from Camp Tum Tum: A Cannibal Fat Camp Adventure
Escape from Camp Tum Tum, the first title from October Nights Games, is a survival horror comedy adventure based on the novel "Cannibal Fat Camp" by Mark C. Scioneaux & David C. Hayes, and was inspired by many cult-classic fixtures such as Heavyweights, The Lord of the Flies, And Then There Were None, The Goonies, The Garbage Pail Kids, Ernest Goes to Camp, UHF, Cannibal Holocaust.
This short adventure is designed for Old School Essentials with players level 1-3 using the custom "Camper" class over three to five sessions. Campers are shipped off to the fictional island of St. Nimis to endure a grueling summer-long weight loss program at Camp Tum Tum, but a tragic accident kills all the camp staff on the first night. Player Campers must figure out how to survive and stay well fed while seeking a way off the island, but the Spoiled Rotten Campers have other ideas. There are hidden secrets on the island that may aid the Campers, and a few threats lurking that they never would have expected.
Innovative game design features group character ability scores generation as part of the "First Day Fitness Test" as players attempt to impress the Camp Counselors. Your players will laugh as they determine their strength with pull ups and other campy exercises.
While Escape from Camp Tum Tum is heavily inspired by Cannibal Fat Camp, the referee and players do not need to read the novel to enjoy themselves.
