[QUOTE="Morrus, post: 7654286, member: 1"] d20 Entertainment, a small company headed up by Ken Whitman, has been launching Kickstarters for television pilots for a whole bunch of different RPG-related properties. Now, we're talking pilots here, not full TV series -- presumably these pilots then get pitched at TV networks in the hopes that one of them will get commissioned. So far, Kickstarters have funded a [URL="https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/d20e/kodt-live-action-series"]Knights of the Dinner Table[/URL] pilot, and [URL="https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/d20e/spinward-traveller-tv-pilot"]Spinward Traveller[/URL] (based on the[I] Traveller[/I] sci-fi RPG). There are other things mentioned on the official website, such as the [I]Brothers Barbarian[/I] web series, although there's very little other information (and the [I]Traveller[/I] information page hasn't been updated since before its Kickstarter). The latest project is based on the [I]Castles & Crusades[/I] RPG, [URL="https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/d20e/castles-and-crusades-blacktooth-ridge-tv-pilot"]and it's called Blacktooth Ridge[/URL], an area featured in a C&C series of adventure modules. You can click on the image below to see the Kickstarter, and watch a short intro scene. According to the Kickstarter, [HQ]"this fantasy TV pilot focuses on a retired knight who solves crimes for kings and noblemen."[/HQ] Interestingly, this one is only asking for $5,000 -- the previous TV pilot Kickstarters from d20 Entertainment asked (and got) for ten times that amount. The $5K is for an 11-minute "sizzle reel" rather than a full pilot, with the actual pilot being a higher stretch goal. I've not seen any of these pilots or shows myself, so I've no idea whether they're any good or not. But I find the idea of it intriguing.
