Between February 22^nd and the 28^th, there are more than 11 RPG Kickstarters ending. Add to that, there are 15 RPG-related zines from Kickstarter’s Zine Quest ending by the 28^th as well. Some of these are RPG powerhouses have already pulled in 5- and 6-figure sums while others are making their 3-figure goals. I’m going to cover as many as possible so let’s dive in. ...READ MORE

RPG Kickstarter Zine Quest News: The Next Fifteen Zines

By my count, there are 45 zines available as of this writing (46 if you count Sentinel Comics offer). Last week, I reviewed the first 7 RPG zines that were running through Kickstarter’s Zine Quest. This week, I look at 15 of them as I sift through the zines that will end by February 28^th. ...READ MORE

RPG Crowdfunding News – Carbon 2185, Cats & Cats, The Tome of Magical Mystery, Haunting of Hastur, and Awaken: The Liborian Saga

Looking just at this list of 5 RPGs, it’d appear that RPGs on Kickstarter are back to a manageable number unlike last week’s list of 17. The reason it’s *only* 5 RPG Kickstarters ending between February 15^th and the 21^st is because the 7 RPG zines from KS’s Zine Quest are in a separate mini-article. That noted, let’s dive into these RPGs. ...READ MORE

RPG Kickstarter Zine Quest News – The Initial Seven Zines

Kickstarter’s February initiative is called, Zine Quest, and it features RPG zines. Built on a nostalgia for the early days of tabletop when zines – single color, hand-folded mini-magazines – were an integral part of the scene, this initiative appears to be reigniting that interest. Over 20 zines have dropped since February 1^st and more are lined up. In this article, I look at Zine Quest Kickstarters ending between February 10^th and the 21^st. ...READ MORE

Strongholds & Followers: A Review

After raising $2,121,465, Strongholds & Followers might be the most anticipated Kickstarter RPG (at least until the next record is broken). Of course, the bulk of the money raised went to the “Streaming” part of the Kickstarter so creator Matt Colville could get a proper studio for his very popular YouTube channel. The book definitely fills a need within the 5^th Edition Dungeons & Dragons landscape. ...READ MORE

This week I’m looking at Kickstarters that close between February 8^th and 14^th. By my count, that’s 17 projects, too much to cover in full here. As such, I’ll touch on the larger RPGs and end with a few mini-reviews to cover as much ground as possible. Let’s get into it! ...READ MORE

Kickstarter, RPG Zine Quest, and Luke "Burning Wheel" Crane

Kickstarter’s February initiative, Zine Quest, promises to feature a variety of RPG zines to crowdfund. Since its announcement, we’ve been gathering requirements, talking to publishers about the projects they’ve planned for February, and written the first in a series of articles to raise awareness. To that end, we spoke with the project’s originator, Luke Crane, Head of Games @Kickstarter and owner of the Burning Wheel, a tabletop gaming publisher responsible for the Mouse Guard RPG, Dungeon World, and, of course, Burning Wheel. We asked Luke a variety of questions about the initiative and what he hopes to accomplish with the project. ...READ MORE

RPG Crowdfunding News #130 – Secretum Mundi, 100 Maps of Fantasy Islands, BattleMats, and more

We’re into January but the number of crowdfundings is at a low ebb from the holiday break. Because there’s not that many campaigns ending between January 25^th and 31^st to review, I’m taking the opportunity to look at a few RPG Kickstarters that are ending sooner, and delve deeper into the process behind Off the Beaten Path, Mountain Excursionsby ThrowiGames. ThrowiGames’ collection of adventures presents an interesting case of being developed through a membership platform (Patreon) before jumping to a crowdfunding site (Kickstarter) to upgrade into a larger realized product. There’s more about that and other crowdfunding campaigns below. ...READ MORE

RPG Crowdfunding News – Era: Lyres, Treacherous Traps, They Came from Beneath the Sea!, The Fantasy Trip Adventures, and more

Quickstarting: On Your Mark, Get Set, Fund!

The conventional wisdom is RPG crowdfunding campaigns are a month or two long. However, some publishers, like Steve Jackson Games and Frog God Games, have experimented with shorter campaigns dubbed “quickstarters” or “tiny print runs”. Running around two weeks or less, these campaigns manage to be quick hits. But do these shorter runs impact their success? ...READ MORE

RPG Crowdfunding News – Streets of Avalon, Dragon Scales, Monsters & Magic, Gauntlets & Gaslight, and Chronicle Cards

The ebb and flow of crowdfunding is cyclic. I’m writing this article in the last days of December for RPG Kickstarters that end between January 11^th and the 17^th. Despite occupying the post-vacation portion of January it totals only two RPG Kickstarters. Interestingly, I doubt it’s the end date that deterred launching more projects, instead it was the attention magnet that is the holiday season. Yet, this lull presented me an opportunity to cover a few still active RPG Kickstarters (that end before January 11^th), those that slipped through the cracks. ...READ MORE

Match Made in Heaven: A Review of Angel Project

Tabletop RPGs, by design, tend to be somewhat lopsided affairs. With only one of the typical four to five players taking on the role of Game Master. As a result, many of the games published focus on the larger group of players, offering lots of options to create characters and rules by which characters can interact with the game in unique and exciting ways. Angel Project offers the Game Masters in the group the attention, options, and guidance necessary to run the game and ensure they are empowered to do so as intended from the start.
