THE CREEPING ROT: DRIFTERS AND GRIFTERS is an expansion for THE CREEPING ROT that aims to make the apocalypse a little less lonely. groups of players (especially larger ones, which tend draw a bit more curious attention) will attract strange characters who can make day-to-day survival far more interesting.

your settlement could be a temporary home for morale-sucking nihilists, thrill-seeking daredevils, or meat-grinding zombie hunters. your home could be robbed in the night or your people held for ransom by a quick-talking mobster. your people could be tasked with the dicey proposition of caring for a lost child or a suicidal bride. maybe some crazy bastard in a pickup truck will just try to shoot you.

this expansion can be played as additional game rules from the start, or introduced later on when your settlement is more stable. you and your friends may carve out your settlement after judgement day with ease, but remember: hell is other people.
