Welcome back to our weekly look at tabletop roleplaying game crowdfunding! This week we have dinosaurs, dragons, mimics, the brand new edition of Savage Worlds and the first full-length sourcebook for Spire, plus a look at the campaigns finishing in the next few days!
Savage Worlds Adventure Edition by Shane Hensley
(Campaign Ends : Thursday 15th November 2018; 03:00 UTC)
Pinnacle Entertainment’s Savage Worlds has been one of the most popular systems over the last 15 years, spawning not only a host of official settings, rulebooks and adventures, but a countless number of licensed third-party books covering pretty much every conceivable genre.
Now it’s time for a big update, with the brand new (and already one of this years biggest tabeltop RPG Kickstarters) Savage Worlds Adventure Edition. Available as both a standard and collector's edition!
“We've taken everything we've learned over the last 15 years...all the feedback you've given us via our forums, social media, store, convention, and personal play...to make it faster, more furious, and more fun!
We're especially proud that this version combines the tactical nature of the original system with the best elements of narrative play.
Every aspect of the game has been reviewed and playtested, from all new Chase rules to Setting Rules, Edges & Hindrances, character creation, powers, creatures, and more.
This is also the most beautiful version of the game we've ever done, with full-color chapter headers and interior pages by incredibly talented artists from all over the world.
For the first time ever we've also got a deluxe box of all the essential accessories players and Game Masters ask for...a brand new Oversize Action Deck, official Savage Worlds Bennies, dice, GM screen, Power and Status Cards, and more!
Savage Worlds hasn't changed much since it was first released in 2003, but there have been a few significant changes.
It was also time to update our graphic design, art, and size to match our current graphic novel format and showcase the incredible artists who have come on board since we began.”
Strata: a Spire RPG Sourcebook by Grant Howitt
(Campaign Ends : Thursday 15th November 2018; 14:06 UTC)
This is Spire: a mile high city, crumbling from within and without. A metropolis that splits the sky where a thousand gods vie for dominance, where red-mawed sacred hyenas stalk the streets and eat the dead, where a great cursed train network punctures the flesh of the city and bleeds unreality into the stonework, where cruel and beautiful high elves rule from glittering palaces and dark elves, subjugated, worship an illegal goddess and plot revenge and rebellion.
Spire is a roleplaying game, and Strata is the first full-length physical sourcebook for Spire.
Strata is the ice-rimed carpeted streets of Amaranth where high elf dilettantes fund revolutionary cells for sport. Strata is being blessed by the Spire Herself and watching, helpless, as ash-grey roses burst from your skin. Strata is a pulp author with a gun who knows the occult power of purple prose. Strata is a drow so deep in service to the goddess they have burned their identity on a funeral pyre as tribute to her.
Strata is rescuing thirty drugged and mutilated drow from a wicked sculptor-surgeon. It is fighting for what little you’ve got when the police try to take it away from you. It is stumbling blind through the backstreets of Pilgrim’s Walk, hoping your handler doesn’t sell you out to your enemies as a bargaining chip.
Strata is higher highs and lower lows. Strata is the next evolution of Spire, digging deeper into the secrets of the city, and offering more ways to fight for what you believe in.
Dinosaur Princesses: a story game for all ages by Hamish Cameron
(Campaign Ends : Wednesday 14th November 2018; 22:00 UTC)
Dinosaur Princesses is a rules-lite play-heavy collaborative tabletop role-playing game about friends who are dinosaurs who are princesses solving problems together! The game is best played with 3-5 players and 1 facilitator,very approachable for new players, and usually lasts for around 2 hours.
When trouble strikes the kingdom, how will you and your friends save the day? Through teamwork, that’s for sure!
Decide what type of Dinosaur you are (a t-rex, ankylosaurs, or platypus perhaps!) and what type of Princess you are (maybe an aquanaut, zookeeper, or chef!). Remember that, just like your type of dinosaur isn’t limited by strict definitions of “dinosaur”, your princess isn’t limited to being a girl—everyone can be a Dinosaur Princess! After you decide what your Dinosaur Princess is like, you then start the very important step of drawing and colouring your Dinosaur Princess. Now gather your friends, build up group dice pool, and overcome all the obstacles and problems that the Palaeontologist throws your way!
Dinosaur Princesses is a story game of collaboration and cooperation for all ages. Great for new TTRPG players and experienced players alike.
Did we mention the rulebook is also a colouring book?
Dragonflight – An Essential Guide to 5th Edition Dragons by 2CGaming
(Campaign Ends : Monday 12th November 2018; 05:00 UTC)
2CGaming’s Dragonflight provides rules to bring dragon characters to your 5th Edition games. This complete rulebook is divided into two sections; one for players and one for DMs.
The player section includes the Dragon Builder, which gives you all the rules for creating a dragon character with full progression from level 1 to 20, and three dragon classes. Information and tips on roleplaying as a dragon, adventuring, downtime, draconic feats and other customization options, and more.
The DM section supplies information on how to plan adventures for dragon characters, encounter building, handling hordes of treasure, NPCs, villains and a load of information of world-building in a section entitled Building a Draconian World.
Marek’s Haunted House an RPG Adventure Module for Pathfinder by Zan’s Adventures
(Campaign Ends : Sunday 11th November 2018; 22:19 UTC)
A haunted house. An ancient evil released. Restless tormented spirits. A malevolent cult. Mystery, horror, adventure, fighting, secrets. Marek's Haunted House is a Halloween / Horror inspired mix of all of these things. Will your players discover the ancient evil? Will they banish it from this world, or will they befriend it?
Marek’s Haunted House has been designed for a group of characters from levels 3 to 5 as a quick and easy pick up one-shot or side-quest.
Mimic Table-top Storage Chests by Twin Pop Shop
(Campaign Ends : Wednesday 14th November 2018; 17:15 UTC)
Many of us will have encountered Mimics during our years of adventuring, those pesky monsters that can transform into countless objects to lure in oblivious adventurers. No longer content in luring in our PCs, they are now trying to trick us, the players and gamemasters, by taking on one of their most common forms, the treasure chest, and appearing on our tabletops and gaming shelves as appealing storage boxes.
These mimic storage chests don't just have great form, they also have fantastic functionality. The inner dimensions of the chest are about 8 inch x 5 inch x 2 3/4 inch without even filling up the top of the lid. These approximate dimensions go up to the hinge where the box opens. You could still fill the box more, but when you fill it past the hinge your stored items may fall out upon opening. That is unless your acrobatics are super high!
The following campaigns are finishing in the next week
