Gaming At The Kids Table With Amazing Tales
Here at EN World, I'm looking at all-ages tabletop role-playing games, board games, and card games. Do they engage the players at the kids' gaming table? Would they cut it at the adults' table? Are they genuinely fun for every age? Amazing Tales is "a game for children who love adventures". Martin Lloyd's RPG is designed for a GM and one or two young players, and includes the rules, GM tips for young gamers, four settings with adventure hooks, and more.
(KS) Off the Beaten Path, Desert Excursions
Off the Beaten Path, Desert Excursions is a collection of one to two page standalone adventures and side-quests usable for any fantasy RPG. “There are over twenty-six pages of encounters found within dry deserts and desolate locales. As your player's characters travel through the arid wasteland, they will come across burial chambers, deserted villages, sunken towers, troublesome oases, and more! These adventures are a great way to add additional encounters during travel, or to handle an unexpected change in direction!”
Whatever Happened to D&D's Underdog?
Dungeons & Dragons is well-known for its class advancement system, which over time has iterated from focusing on collecting treasure to defeating foes. And yet there was a time in the First Edition of Advanced Dungeons & Dragons where players were encouraged to play their characters as novices below 1st level, before they became heroes. These were 0-level player characters, and their story illuminates how D&D models a particular kind of fantasy fiction.
(KS) Kung Fu Animals (Save the World)
Jason Blair (Little Fears; Cartoon Action Hour) returns with Kung Fu Animals (Save the World), a tabletop RPG that will appeal to fans of comics and shows such as Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, ThunderCats, Kung Fu Panda and Captain Planet. Using the Savage Worlds system, Kung Fu Animals (Save the World) allows the players to create their “own universes where semi-human characters become the world’s greatest heroes.”
(KS) Fate Dice and Fate Points
Evil Hat return to Kickstarter to bring us a new range of Fate Dice colors as well as the long requested Fate Point Tokens.
(KS) The Keyring RPG
The Keyring RPG is a really interesting idea, combined with ultimate portability. “The Keyring RPG is a combination of the idea of creating a procedural role-playing game and the discovery of a really cute notepad. Mashing those ideas together gave rise to the Keyring RPG.”

Where Do They Get Their Resurrections?
Today we continue with our apocalyptic theme. I've covered war and pestilence, and this column will be about Death, the great leveller. Everybody dies, except for adventurers, who die but get to come back via the auspices of a friendly or bribable cleric.
(KS) Dwarven Ginger Ale!
This kickstarter is to raise funds for Dwarven Ginger Ale, the soda that bites back. Usually while yelling something and brandishing axes. The concept of a craft soda made from quality ingredients made by a gamer, for gamers to enjoy.
(KS) Fantasy Metal Gaming Coins by D20 Collective
These coins have been passed along through pickpockets, swindlers, assassins and in some cases; even royalty. The only way to acknowledge their authenticity…and their worth…is by the scars and tattered appearance of each coin – showing the holder that they have exchanged more hands, experienced more treachery and survived more altercations, than any of the thieves who owned them.
