This week’s list of RPG crowdfunding projects and quickstarters end between January 28th and February 17th. Across Kickstarter as well as GameFound, there are a number of MÖRK BORG offerings, an OSR, lots of original systems, and one for Mage: The Ascension 20th Anniversary Edition.
In 1993, The Book of Nod appeared on gaming store shelves around the world. It came just as Vampire: The Masquerade’s hardcover Second Edition was truly exploding into popularity. It shed light on the World of Darkness in an unusual way; as an in-game document. The book sold in stores was the same one that could be discovered by vampire characters in the game. There had been flirtations with...
When Vampire: The Masquerade Fifth Edition made sweeping changes to the setting on its release, the sect of the Sabbat were swept right off the table. The political focus reshifted to a struggle between the Camarilla and Anarchs in every domain. Vague rumors of Sabbat cities being abandoned and many of their members being called to fight in battles against awakening elder vampires were enough...
Hopefully you are gearing up for a horror game this festive season. Here’s how I do it.
As we’re coming up to horror game season, it’s worth discussing safety tools.
While there are many games with interesting and clever rules, there are few that introduce new concepts and ways to play. Ars Magica stands out as offering not one but three RPG innovations that were new to me when I first picked up the game in around 1992 in its second edition.
This week, I look at RPG crowdfunding projects ending between October 1st and 21st. Among the many options available, I look at two Alan Bahr related projects, one that Free League is elevating, a group of artifacts for the gaming table, a few holiday adventures, and more.
I met Randy Price of 2 Kings Games through a charity and did a review of his all-ages 5e adventure, Little Feet: The Legend of Gimcrack Jack. When he announced that he was kickstarting a tabletop gaming convention showcasing some of the hottest names in gaming, I was intrigued. Since I’m thinking of going, I had questions which led to this interview. If you’re curious about an Ohio convention...
This week I look at a sampling of the RPGs and gaming related projects on Kickstarter and GameFound. These projects end between September 14th to October 4th and include a game that is at seven-figures in funding and four games that are in the six-figure range.
Marcin Kuczyński (Martin) and Katarzyna Kuczyńska (Kate) of Game Machinery are bringing their RPG to print via Kickstarter. Because the artwork and world speak to me, I asked Martin if he’d discuss the game. In our interview, Martin talks about how the World of Darkness influenced Defiant, how Kickstarter has opened up for creators in Poland, and how this RPG works at the gaming table.
As a long time fan and contributor to Vampire: The Masquerade, I must admit that the launch of fifth edition has been mixed. It’s been cool to see folks return to the game thanks to the success of things like L.A. By Night and enjoy many of the changes to the rules but I also was upset by cringeworthy parts of the early books and some of the directions taken by the new edition’s storylines. I...
Monsters and pawns for D&D. Reprints of adventures for 80s Man, Myth and Magic and 70s D&D, a holiday adventure book for Call of Cthulhu, vampire myths and faith, and more dice. Rounded out with containers to hide behind when being hunted by Xenos or Aslan.
This week, I look at crowdfunding projects through Kickstarter and IndieGoGo that end by April 1st. We’re post-Zine Quest 3 and the number of newly offered crowdfunding projects has come down, but that has not impacted the quality or the funding amounts. While there are fewer RPG crowdfunding projects to cover, I cannot cover them all; instead, here’s a selection of what’s currently on offer.
This week’s article features RPG crowdfunding projects that end by November 5th. There are so many that end in this timeframe, I could not link them all. That said, check out the links in the “RPG Quick Hits” section for some great content. When I ran the Esper's Emporium of Esoterica Kickstarter two weeks ago, I left out an EN Publishing-centric piece of trivia, Esper, the individual behind...
This week’s RPG crowdfunding projects through Kickstarter and IndieGoGo end by October 1st. These project include new rules, settings, and expansions to Scion, D&D, Monster of the Week, Delve, OpenQuest, and more. Beyond the normal types of projects, there’s a card-based RPG and a campaign to fund a gaming convention online; all of these are worth a quick look. Thinking of running a RPG...
