This [URL='https://www.backerkit.com/c/projects/goodman-games/grimtooth-s-old-school-traps-for-5e-and-dcc'][B]Backerkit[/B][/URL] takes the classic Grimtooth traps and updates them in a beautiful tome for use with either [B][I]Dungeons & Dragons Fifth Edition[/I][/B] or [B][I]Dungeon Crawl Classics[/I][/B]. No more playing with traps your characters might survive! With these books you’ll be able to roll new parties encounter-after-encounter. Your players will welcome a Tarrasque encounter after falling through the fifteenth meatgrinder pit trap hidden below a doorway. Each trap has a skull rating suggesting its deadliness, which is silly because Grimtooth only does deadly. <[I]Wink[/I]> If you need traps for [B]5e[/B] or [B]DCC[/B], I highly recommend these as they’re classic, funny, and a pleasure for the GM to spring on the table.

Your target, the mark, has all the right qualities: Rich, greedy, and villainous. Your characters will create a false narrative of make believe as you prepare to lift their money. The stakes are high, but the payoff is worth the risk. If you want to pull a confidence job, this is the TTRPG for you.

Take everything an American child in the 1950s thought was cool, put it together, and you have [B][I]The Gun Belt[/I][/B]. Using a simple system open to all-ages of play, young and adult, this game takes a fantastical approach to the subject of other worlds and what we’ll find there. On the corporateplanet Hell, you’re living to enrich the LeviCorp, unless you can make your own way. While this project is influenced by the tales of the Wild West, it is a sci-fi project and the campaign mentions that it is not meant to represent that time period or the difficult historic moments that occurred then. If the idea of sixshooters, triceratops, and Area 51 interests you, check out the campaign page for a quickstart version of the game. But hurry, this one ends soon.
