- SYSTEM(S): Household RPG
- PROJECT TYPE: Sourcebook
- MOST POPULAR PLEDGE: €175 + S/H for the PDF and print versions of the books, GM screen, maps, decks, bookcase, dice, coin, and pouch
- WHY SPOTLIGHT THIS CAMPAIGN? For those gamers that are unaware of the Household RPG, it’s a fantasy game and setting that dwells inside one house and, with this book, the yard. One house with tiny occupants. Household I is a twice ENNIE-nominated book for both Product of the Year and Best Production Values. This Regency era mansion has been abandoned for a century. Within you’ll find the Littlings, beings so small that their cities fit inside the great rooms of this building. With this new book, you’ll gain access to the great outdoors, which represents a sizable expansion. Imagine a garden as a world of adventure, something so large that you risk becoming lost or, worse, spotted by a beast of prey. This campaign has a number of backers already, the idea of a world that’s small and Fey resonates, and if you’re one of those fans, check out the Backerkit campaign for a free 100-page quickstart ruleset.

- WHY SPOTLIGHT THIS CAMPAIGN? Let’s keep looking at small characters in a big TTRPG and talk about Pico. In this game you play as bugs questing in a setting that is our modern world but a fantasy realm to the insects. Using the Wild Words Engine seen in ENNIE Award-winning The Wildsea roleplaying game, you’ll use human debris as tools, weapons, and treasure as you navigate a world where humans can swat you like what you’re playing as… if they were still around. Build your own bug, befriend larger animals, and try to solve the mysteries of this setting including the missing humans. If the idea of playing as bugs using an award-winning system appeals to you, check out the Kickstarter page for a free quickstart PDF and character pregens.

That’s 100 NPCs and 60 side quests where you’ll face 12 original monsters. The modules come with 6 pre-gen characters using OSRIC or 5e stat blocks, depending on your preference.

Sure magic, character classes, traps, artifacts, and all of that jazz are groovy, but you need the monsters to bring the threat to the characters. This campaign offers hundreds of creatures to feature in your gaming sessions. If you want to check out what’s on display, the campaign page has previews of the creatures for you to sample.
