RPG Crowdfunding News 036a – The Sound of Music Special Edition: Numenera Audio Collection, Deep Mad

There are dozens of roleplaying game crowdfunding campaigns vying for your backing at any given time. In our weekly column we highlight some of these but there are many more that we sadly don’t have space to include. Well, not unless we want a *very* long column for you all to scroll through! Sometimes we see a number of campaigns appear offering a similar theme or item. With this in mind welcome to the Sound of Music Special Edition, where we look at three RPG audio campaigns currently available on Kickstarter.

It's another theme week, this time focusing on quality third-party sourcebooks for popular games and game systems.

New Releases In Stores This Week : 30th January 2017

Slightly later in the week than usual (courtesy of me being away at a convention most of last week, knocking my schedule off - sorry!) but here's a rundown of the New Releases that should have hit games stores over the last week!

RPG Crowdfunding News 036: Dusk City Outlaws, Cold Shadows, Fear’s Sharp Little Needles, Wearing the

Welcome back to our weekly look at tabletop roleplaying game, and accessories, crowdfunding roundup! Each week we’ll be looking at a few campaigns currently running that have caught our eye as well as occasionally speaking to some of the creators about their campaigns, or looking at some of the ‘behind the scenes’ business aspects of putting together, launching, operating and then delivering a crowdfunded project. If you have anything you’d like us to cover, or questions about anything we talk about, please don’t hesitate to leave a comment or contact me directly.
Hello everyone, Darryl here with this week’s gaming news! Starfinder announcements plus an update to Paizo’s organized play, The Lost Citadel coming to gaming, Modiphius’s Conan RPG released, Adventures in Middle Earth Loremaster’s Guide comes out, PETA butts heads with Games Workshop, and more!

Looking Back At Chaosium's Stormbringer Role-Playing Game

After some online conversations on social media, I decided that I should talk about a few older games and supplements in my column here. I ran a Twitter poll with some options, some of which I may visit in future pieces, and Stormbringer came out as a pretty dominating choice. The game took the lead, and kept it throughout the duration of the poll. So, I hauled a couple of Stormbringer pieces out of my library: the second printing of the first edition Stormbringer boxed set put out by Chaosium, and the "third edition" book put out by Games Workshop in the UK.
After appearing three years running in the 10 Most Anticipated RPGs of the Year list, it seems that Conan's streak has come to and end - because Conan: Adventures in an Age Undreamed Of has been released! You can get it right now from Modiphius' web store, and will be able to get it elsewhere from tomorrow. PDF only, for the moment. You can also grab a book of six adventures, Jewelled Thrones of the Earth. Conan: Adventures in an Age Undreamed of is based on Modiphius' own 2d20 system (which also powers their upcoming Star Trek Adventures game). The book is now available for review in the reviews area.
The (PDF version of) the Adventures in Middle Earth Loremaster's Guide is about to drop - it releases tomorrow, and will be available at the usual places. Cubicle 7 has sent along a preview of the contents page from the book. The Loremaster's Guide is the "DMG" to the Player's Guide's "PHB". "The quest that began with the Player’s Guide continues in this lavishly illustrated, hardcover. The Loremaster’s Guide presents inspiration, guidance and additional new rules to help you create and run encounters, adventures and campaigns in the world of The Hobbit ™ and The Lord of the Rings ™, using the 5th Edition OGL ruleset. Packed with information, this volume is an invaluable resource for your games."
Making it's grand debut in EN5ider, the ZEITGEIST adventure path Campaign Guide is now available to all patrons. Steam and soot darken the skies above the city of Flint, and winds sweeping across its majestic harbor blow the choking products of industrial forges into the fey rainforests that dot its knife-toothed mountains. Since the earliest ages when the people of Risur founded this city, they feared the capricious beings that hid in those fog-shrouded peaks, but now as the march of progress and the demands of national defense turn Flint into a garden for artifice and technology, the old faiths and rituals that kept the lurkers of the woods at bay are being abandoned.
