If you’re looking for a night of serious roleplaying then you done <em>ducked</em> up because this ain’t it. That’s to say, this adventure is a call to endless, memorable laughs that is worth diving into Uncle Scrooge’s Money Bin, grabbing some coins, and getting a copy.</li> </ul> <p style="text-align: center"><a href="https://www.kicktraq.com/projects/gemroomgames/dukk-borg/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.kicktraq.com/projects/gemroomgames/dukk-borg/minichart.png" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a></p> <p style="text-align: center"></p> <p style="text-align: center"><strong> [ATTACH=full]295266[/ATTACH]</strong></p><p></p><p><a href="https://www.backerkit.com/c/crossed-paths-press-c0a11566-fae0-451e-ae01-8503795873e2/brambletrek" target="_blank"><strong>Brambletrek - A GM-Less RPG Adventure Gamebook</strong></a><strong> from Crossed Paths Press</strong></p><ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"><strong>END DATE</strong>: Sep 28, 2023 at 7:30pm EDT.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"><strong>CROWDFUNDING ON: </strong><a href="https://www.backerkit.com/c/crossed-paths-press-c0a11566-fae0-451e-ae01-8503795873e2/brambletrek" target="_blank"><strong>Backerkit</strong></a></li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"><strong>SYSTEM(S)</strong>: An original system</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"><strong>PROJECT TYPE</strong>: Core rulebook</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"><strong>MOST POPULAR PLEDGE</strong>: £15 + S/H for the PDF and print versions of the book and a soundtrack</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"><strong>WHY SPOTLIGHT THIS CAMPAIGN?</strong> This is a solo RPGing experience where you play as an anthropomorphic mouse. Yep, we went from ducks to mice, and this list is just a sampling of what’s available so be on the lookout for other anthropomorphic tabletop offerings. Offering a movie style motivation, you’re a quiet mouse from a quiet life but the world of adventure calls out to you. To join in on these solo adventures, you’ll read the details, make decisions, drawn from a deck of cards, and journal the results. While this is a solo, GM-less RPG, there is a multiplayer option.

Well, <a href="https://koboldpress.com/kpstore/product/campaign-builder-cities-towns-map-folio/" target="_blank"><strong><em>Campaign Builder: Cities & Towns Map Folio</em></strong></a>, the precursor to this book, was nominated for an <a href="https://ennie-awards.com/2023-nominees/" target="_blank"><strong>Ennie Award</strong></a><a href="https://ennie-awards.com/2023-nominees/" target="_blank"> for Best Cartography in 2023</a>.

Each campaign is short, the products are items that Phil is eager to put out into the world, and the results are more than most multi-freelancer publishers are able to achieve. <strong><em>50 Faces in the Crowd</em></strong> builds on his <strong><em>50 Patrons of the Market</em></strong> and <strong><em>50 Guests of the Inn</em></strong>, adding randos any GM can throw into a fantasy crowd. Here’s where this is useful: Red herrings. As a GM, you need a face, name, and hook for a meaningless NPC. Since this deck of cards is situational, it could be a great random encounter generator for the streets, especially when the PCs ask if there were any witnesses to X event. If all of those NPCs interest you, $12 will get you the PDFs of all three decks or $20 for the PDFs and POD discount coupons.

In the [URL='https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/gemroomgames/dukk-borg'][B]DUKK BÖRG[/B][/URL] module, you’re fantasy ducks with fantasy swords in a fantasy world in pursuit of, I hope, fantasy duck-bloons. [B][I]DuckTales[/I][/B] with pseudo-medieval anthropomorphic ducks in a character grinder, expect tales of derring-do, bad and good luck tales. Woo-hoo! Heck, between this and [URL='https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/418106/Dragonbane-Core-Set?affiliate_id=814082'][B][I]Dragonbane’s[/I][/B][/URL] mallards, I bought the latest issue of [B]Dynamite’s[/B] [B][I]Darkwing Duck [/I][/B]at my [URL='https://www.facebook.com/realKapowComics/']local comic and game store[/URL] because I’m feeling [I]duck-stalgic[/I]. If you’re looking for a night of serious roleplaying then you done [I]ducked[/I] up because this ain’t it. That’s to say, this adventure is a call to endless, memorable laughs that is worth diving into Uncle Scrooge’s Money Bin, grabbing some coins, and getting a copy.

Yep, we went from ducks to mice, and this list is just a sampling of what’s available so be on the lookout for other anthropomorphic tabletop offerings. Offering a movie style motivation, you’re a quiet mouse from a quiet life but the world of adventure calls out to you. To join in on these solo adventures, you’ll read the details, make decisions, drawn from a deck of cards, and journal the results. While this is a solo, GM-less RPG, there is a multiplayer option.

[*][B]SYSTEM(S)[/B]: System neutral [*][B]PROJECT TYPE[/B]: TTRPG accessory [*][B]MOST POPULAR PLEDGE[/B]: $4 for the PDF of the deck [*][B]WHY SPOTLIGHT THIS CAMPAIGN?[/B] I believe this is Philip Reed’s 18th crowdfunding project so far in 2023. 18, and yet I’d say his method is the definition of what speed and quality look like. Each campaign is short, the products are items that Phil is eager to put out into the world, and the results are more than most multi-freelancer publishers are able to achieve. [B][I]50 Faces in the Crowd[/I][/B] builds on his [B][I]50 Patrons of the Market[/I][/B] and [B][I]50 Guests of the Inn[/I][/B], adding randos any GM can throw into a fantasy crowd. Here’s where this is useful: Red herrings. As a GM, you need a face, name, and hook for a meaningless NPC. Since this deck of cards is situational, it could be a great random encounter generator for the streets, especially when the PCs ask if there were any witnesses to X event. If all of those NPCs interest you, $12 will get you the PDFs of all three decks or $20 for the PDFs and POD discount coupons. There’s utility and value in these offerings.

As Cold War mercenaries, you deal with international powers that delve into the occult and other strange powers. As a member of FIST, you fight those powers to save the world. It’s deadly and no one knows about it due to your opposite, CYCLOPS, an international organization which hides these dark truths. Using a version of the [B][I]Powered by the Apocalypse[/I][/B] system, you’ll deal with the dark powers of other worlds and the greedy powers of humanity to keep the world safe. The creators cite John Harper's [B][I]World of Dungeons[/I][/B], Ben Milton's [B][I]Maze Rats[/I][/B], and Chris P. Wolf and Olivia Gulin’s [B][I]Offworlders[/I][/B] as inspirations for their system.
