Known for its magic system and troupe play style, <strong><em>Ars Magica</em></strong> allows your gaming table to play a commune of mages, companions, and their staff in stories that are larger than one character’s adventures. This game tells tales of the wider group enduring through epic adventures and crises told over decades. With an expanded core rulebook that comes in at double the previous page count, this project promises spells, action, intrigue, and the rules to support them all. The campaign includes the core rulebook, a reference guide, GM screen, map, slipcase, and dice. In addition, this crowdfunding launches a <a href="https://atlas-games.com/arsmagica/openars" target="_blank"><strong>Ars Magica Open License</strong></a>, which I’ve shared a bit about <a href="https://www.enworld.org/threads/ars-magica™-rpg-becomes-open-license-via-crowdfunding.706940/" target="_blank">here</a> and <a href="https://www.enworld.org/threads/ars-magica-rpg-open-license-funded-on-backerkit.707347/" target="_blank">here</a>. The <strong>Open License</strong> allows fans and publishers to make their own content using the <strong><em>Ars Magica Definitive Edition</em></strong> ruleset, a boon for creators that want to make use of the system. Looking at the <strong>Backerkit</strong> page, I want to praise <strong>Atlas Games</strong> for promoting the artists that participated in bringing <strong><em>Ars Magica</em></strong> to life. Not only do they list their names, but they provide links to the artwork found in <strong><em>Ars Magica</em></strong>, and <strong>Atlas Games</strong> goes the extra mile and suggests that you <a href="https://www.backerkit.com/c/projects/atlas-games/ars-magica-5th-edition-definitive#:~:text=Own%20your%20own%20piece%20of%20Ars%20Magica%20history" target="_blank">check out each artist’s webpage</a> and purchase some artwork from those artists. That move – Spotlighting their creative partners – is a huge gesture and I wish more publishers took the time to boost their freelance contributors.

Kenneth Hite and Gareth Ryder-Hanrahan bring back their award-winning 1930s setting and engine so your gaming table can learn alien secrets, cast spells, and get in gunfights with cultists. The secret sauce in <strong><em>Trail of Cthulhu</em></strong> is the engine, the <strong><em>GUMSHOE</em></strong> system changes how investigation RPGs work. No longer is it about finding the clues; instead, you find them with ease. This game focuses on putting the clues together. The second edition improves character creation, revises the “insanity” to be more mythic and cosmic, makes the magic system easier to run, adds new gods, and so much more. Best of all, it’s backwards compatible with your first edition material.

This version of <strong><em>ElfQuest</em></strong> is the original concepts and writing but edited to correct typos incorporate errata, and generally revise the books to make them the best versions of the 1980s game you knew and loved. What’s different about the 2024 version? The extras. This boxed set is 2” deep, not 1” like the original version, and that extra space adds new characters, monsters, and scenarios that didn’t exist when the original was crafted.

After 40 years, [B]Chaosium[/B] is reprinting the original game with some improvements. Don’t think of this as a new edition of the classic game, it is not. This version of [B][I]ElfQuest[/I][/B] is the original concepts and writing but edited to correct typos incorporate errata, and generally revise the books to make them the best versions of the 1980s game you knew and loved. What’s different about the 2024 version? The extras. This boxed set is 2” deep, not 1” like the original version, and that extra space adds new characters, monsters, and scenarios that didn’t exist when the original was crafted. The box comes with a rules book, setting book, maps, character sheets, an adventure, dice, and more. Through this [B]Kickstarter[/B], you’re getting a chance to collect and play a piece of history and while enjoying [B][I]ElfQuest[/I][/B].

In [B][I]Royal Blood[/I][/B], you build a sorcerer-king or witch-queen using Tarot cards and an original ruleset. Designed for a single play session, this game allows you to create your character and steal from the older powers that infect our world through corrupting capitalism. Story-wise, this feels like a nice mash-up of [B][I]Mage: The Ascension[/I][/B] and [B][I]Werewolf: The Apocalypse[/I][/B] with original heist ideas sprinkled in. Mechanically and mythology-wise, it is not those games, but what the bad guys are doing and why you fight has notes of those [B][I]World of Darkness[/I][/B] classics. If the idea of single-session games of mage heists speaks to you, check out the campaign page for more details.

In the 1980s, the kaiju came, bombs were dropped, and civilization fell. In the aftermath, you are part of a faction with a salvaged mech that you use to fight the monsters. Maybe, one day, you’ll take back the planet. For now, you’re just trying to survive and defend the last bits of humanity. In this world, there are three factions that you can play as ranging from heroes to the villains that unleashed this apocalypse. This system uses d6 dice pools reminiscent of [B]West End Games[/B] [B][I]d6 System[/I][/B]. If you want to pilot mechs in the wasteland as you fight giant monsters, this game may be for you.
