By that, I mean <strong><em>Teatime Adventures</em></strong> isn’t so much a game as a full social event that suggests unique teas to drink, snacks to experience, and friends to connect with before, during, and after solving a mystery. Coming as four books focusing on the GM, players, the setting, and adventures with an optional boxed set and tea, you’ll gather, brew some tea, discuss the world, socialize your characters, and consider a mystery which may be dangerous and daring or as humble as recovering an excellent teapot.

Many of them have never written for a print book, finding their medium as video over print. But, because TTRPG is born out of print, there’s a reason to open up their work to books and get those to your gaming table. This project brings their collective wisdom and voice to prose with new, original content to inspire GMs as they level up their games.

In this game, you hunt monsters around your house using their remains to improve the quality of your life. The <strong><em>Cottages & Cerberus</em></strong> system features a Spoons mechanic, based on <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/wellness/2023/01/14/spoon-theory-chronic-illness-spoonie/" target="_blank">Spoon Theory by Christine Miserandino</a>. Spoons are a resource you can spend to overcome certain obstacles such as weak dice rolls. Their best line in the campaign is “<strong><em>Cottages & Cerberus</em></strong> is a cottagecore monster-slaying tabletop RPG.” I read that and now I want a cottagecore character grinder RPG! Soft music, fun adventures, and instant death cottagecore-style! While this isn’t a character grinder, it still looks fun.

In a world where dragons are the supreme divine power, the lesser gods are bound, and magic comes from sacred oaths, you’ll follow a fantasy tale of revenge against those gods. With art by Facundo Nehuén López, this comic has a <strong><em>Prince Valiant</em></strong> vibe that I enjoyed when I read the review copy of the book. That’s right, the issue is complete (save for some variant covers and edits). If you’re interested in this comic, rest assured it’s not going to be delayed by the writing or artwork. For the campaign, the goal is $500. The stretch goal is $2,000, at which point Alan believes there’s enough interest to produce a second issue. I like that he’s using this stretch goal to gauge interest in this three-issue miniseries and build from there. If you’re a fan of Alan’s work, this project is worth checking out.</li> </ul> <p style="text-align: center"><a href="https://www.kicktraq.com/projects/hyperstar/ringbreaker/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.kicktraq.com/projects/hyperstar/ringbreaker/minichart.png" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a></p><p></p><p><em>Egg Embry participates in the OneBookShelf Affiliate Program, Noble Knight Games’ Affiliate Program, and is an Amazon Associate.

[B]Snowbright Studio’s[/B] campaign is for gamers that want gameplay to be one element of the gathering, not the entire experience. By that, I mean [B][I]Teatime Adventures[/I][/B] isn’t so much a game as a full social event that suggests unique teas to drink, snacks to experience, and friends to connect with before, during, and after solving a mystery. Coming as four books focusing on the GM, players, the setting, and adventures with an optional boxed set and tea, you’ll gather, brew some tea, discuss the world, socialize your characters, and consider a mystery which may be dangerous and daring or as humble as recovering an excellent teapot. If the idea of a full-fledged social engagement centered around your TTRPG speaks to you, [B][I]Teatime Adventures[/I][/B] on [URL='https://www.backerkit.com/c/snowbright-studio/teatime-adventures-tea-pets'][B]Backerkit[/B][/URL] is worth a look.

Many of them have never written for a print book, finding their medium as video over print. But, because TTRPG is born out of print, there’s a reason to open up their work to books and get those to your gaming table. This project brings their collective wisdom and voice to prose with new, original content to inspire GMs as they level up their games. At [URL='https://www.gencon.com/'][B]Gen Con 2023[/B][/URL], Christen Sowards of [URL='http://www.lostspherespublishing.com/'][B]Lost Spheres Publishing[/B][/URL] shared this project with me. The concept, getting [B]TikTok[/B] creators into print, is both ambitious and pulls down experiencial barriers created by differences in personal media consumption. If you’re a fan of GM advice, this project may be for you.

In this game, you hunt monsters around your house using their remains to improve the quality of your life.

Spoons are a resource you can spend to overcome certain obstacles such as weak dice rolls. Their best line in the campaign is “[B][I]Cottages & Cerberus[/I][/B] is a cottagecore monster-slaying tabletop RPG.” I read that and now I want a cottagecore character grinder RPG! Soft music, fun adventures, and instant death cottagecore-style! While this isn’t a character grinder, it still looks fun. Check out the campaign page for a link to their preview.

[*][B]PROJECT TYPE[/B]: Comic book [*][B]MOST POPULAR PLEDGE[/B]: $20 + S/H for the PDF and print versions of issue one with all of its print covers [*][B]WHY SPOTLIGHT THIS CAMPAIGN?[/B] Alan Bahr of [B]Gallant Knight Games[/B] ([B][I]TinyD6[/I][/B] and [B][I]Tombpunk[/I][/B]) has a comic book on [B]Kickstarter[/B]. In a world where dragons are the supreme divine power, the lesser gods are bound, and magic comes from sacred oaths, you’ll follow a fantasy tale of revenge against those gods. With art by Facundo Nehuén López, this comic has a [B][I]Prince Valiant[/I][/B] vibe that I enjoyed when I read the review copy of the book. That’s right, the issue is complete (save for some variant covers and edits). If you’re interested in this comic, rest assured it’s not going to be delayed by the writing or artwork. For the campaign, the goal is $500. The stretch goal is $2,000, at which point Alan believes there’s enough interest to produce a second issue. I like that he’s using this stretch goal to gauge interest in this three-issue miniseries and build from there. If you’re a fan of Alan’s work, this project is worth checking out.
