While the list of crowdfunding campaigns is not as high as last week, it’s still respectable. All of the projects are d20 based with several for 5e and Pathfinder as well as Starfinder and OSR.[ATTACH=full]122278[/ATTACH]<a href="https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/spell-sleuth/menagerie-of-magic-a-collection-of-magic-items-for-dnd-5e" target="_blank">Menagerie of Magic: A collection of Magic items for DnD 5e</a> from Adam O'Brien<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">END DATE: Sat, June 6 2020 12:09 PM EDT.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">SYSTEM(S): Dungeons & Dragons Fifth Edition</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">PROJECT TYPE: Sourcebook</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">MOST POPULAR PLEDGE: £12 for the PDF of the book</li> </ul>[EXCERPT]“A 200+ page compendium of Magical items for use in Dungeons and Dragons 5th edition. This book consists of over 700 magic items for you and your players. Many items will be fine for anyone, but I have included at least 10 items that are exclusive to each race and class. Items range from the rather mundane to fantastical Artifacts, so I am sure you will find something that is perfect for any situation. Additionally, I am including 2 systems that I have been using in my game world for a few years now; Item sets and Spirit Beasts. Item sets are as they sound. A group of items that share a link, each with their own magical properties. Only by using multiple items from a set do you truly unlock the full potential of the items. Spirit beasts are special animals that can be used as mounts. You can summon them at will from another plane of existence and each type of mount has its own abilities and features. The longer you have your mount and the stronger the bond between you, the more abilities and traits you get access to.”[/EXCERPT]<a href="https://www.kicktraq.com/projects/spell-sleuth/menagerie-of-magic-a-collection-of-magic-items-for-dnd-5e/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.kicktraq.com/projects/spell-sleuth/menagerie-of-magic-a-collection-of-magic-items-for-dnd-5e/minichart.png" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " data-size="" style="" /></a> [ATTACH=full]122279[/ATTACH]<a href="https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/riotminds/trudvang-adventures-for-5e" target="_blank">Trudvang Adventures - for 5E</a> by <a href="https://www.drivethrurpg.com/browse/pub/12722/RiotMinds?affiliate_id=814082" target="_blank">RiotMinds</a><ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">END DATE: Wed, June 10 2020 9:00 AM EDT.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">SYSTEM(S): Dungeons & Dragons Fifth Edition</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">PROJECT TYPE: Campaign setting</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">MOST POPULAR PLEDGE: SEK 500 + SEK 200 US S/H for both books as PDFs and print</li> </ul>[EXCERPT]“Trudvang Adventures, a roleplaying game for 5E. For 20 years Trudvang has been a hailed and awarded fantasy setting. <a href="https://www.enworld.org/threads/and-here-are-the-official-10-most-anticipated-rpgs-of-2017.664063/" target="_blank">In 2017 it was voted "the most anticipated game" by the EN World community</a>. Trudvang Adventures is a game setting for 5E and it is inspired by norse and celto myths, mythologies and folklore with a twist towards the dark and down-to-earth. Whereas many fantasy settings take place in taverns and dungeons, Trudvang adventures is set in deep and dark forests where you will find trolls, lindwurms, grendels and old mysterious places where the elves worshipped their gods that abandoned them, or dark nests filled with treasures long lost. Art and setting is built on classic nordic and celtic sagas such as Kalevala, Beowulf, and all Islandic and Irish oral traditions and tales such as The Ulster Cycle and Mabinogion, not to forget the great work of John Bauer and his alike.”[/EXCERPT]<a href="https://www.kicktraq.com/projects/riotminds/trudvang-adventures-for-5e/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.kicktraq.com/projects/riotminds/trudvang-adventures-for-5e/minichart.png" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " data-size="" style="" /></a> [ATTACH=full]122280[/ATTACH]<a href="https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/legendarygames/aegis-of-empires-adventure-path-for-5e-pathfinder-2e-pfrpg" target="_blank">Aegis of Empires Adventure Path for 5E, Pathfinder 1E and 2E</a> from <a href="https://www.drivethrurpg.com/browse/pub/3730/Legendary-Games?affiliate_id=814082" target="_blank">Legendary Games</a><ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">END DATE: Fri, June 5 2020 11:59 PM EDT.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">SYSTEM(S): Dungeons & Dragons Fifth Edition and Pathfinder 1e and 2e</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">PROJECT TYPE: Adventure module</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">MOST POPULAR PLEDGE: $100 + S/H for</li> </ul>[EXCERPT]“A 600-page 6-part Adventure Path for D+D 5E, Pathfinder 1st Edition, & Pathfinder 2nd Edition, set in the epic Lost Lands of adventure.

This spectacular 600-page fantasy-horror adventure path can be played in any world but is specifically designed for the incredibly detailed Lost Lands Setting (which project lead Greg Vaughan spent nearly a decade perfecting with the classic adventures of Necromancer Games and Frog God Games).

This spectacular saga from the powerful pens of Alistair J. Rigg, Jeff Swank, Matt Goodall, Steve Helt, Tom Knauss, Anthony Pryor, and Greg Vaughan includes a 48-page Player's Guide to introduce the history and lore of the region, compatible with all three game systems, and then follows it up with six additional adventures and their appendices full of new magic, monsters, equipment, player handouts, and more.”[/EXCERPT]<a href="https://www.kicktraq.com/projects/legendarygames/aegis-of-empires-adventure-path-for-5e-pathfinder-2e-pfrpg/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.kicktraq.com/projects/legendarygames/aegis-of-empires-adventure-path-for-5e-pathfinder-2e-pfrpg/minichart.png" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " data-size="" style="" /></a> [ATTACH=full]122281[/ATTACH]<a href="https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/ericfrombloatgames/survive-this-fantasy-tabletop-rpg-2-book-kickstarter" target="_blank">SURVIVE THIS!!

The Starfinder-compatible book, Starfarer Adversaries: Legacy Bestiary, is a collection of more than 200 classic fantasy monsters, updated for a science-fantasy universe! The Starfinder Roleplaying Game presents a galaxy with the same history and cosmology as the sword-and-sorcery “Fantasy Path” RPG that came before it, but has little room to update what the monsters of that fantasy world have done with access to startravel! The Legacy Bestiary not only updates these “Legacy” creatures to the Starfinder RPG rules, it updates their concepts to account for high-tech and galactic adventure. Mimics as vending machines! Uplifted owlbears! Frost giants wielding cryoweapons! We successfully funded this book already in a different crowdfunding campaign, but fell short of some the stretch goals we were really excited about. So, with the enthusiastic support of our existing backers (and without significantly delaying the project, which is already in layout), we wanted to give fans one more chance to improve the size and scope of this offering. So this book is definitely happening. This campaign is to make it even better! If we hit our funding goal, we’ll add six fully-illustrated undead dinosaurs to the book. Then we’ll set up the next goal, and see how much extra content we can cram into this book!”[/EXCERPT]<a href="https://www.kicktraq.com/projects/owenkcstephens/starfinder-legacy-bestiary/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.kicktraq.com/projects/owenkcstephens/starfinder-legacy-bestiary/minichart.png" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " data-size="" style="" /></a> [ATTACH=full]122283[/ATTACH]<a href="https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/hitpointpress/the-deck-of-many-animated-spells-tarot-and-more-for-5e" target="_blank">The Deck of Many Animated Spells, Tarot and More for 5e</a> from Hit Point Press<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">END DATE: Thu, June 11 2020 10:00 AM EDT.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">SYSTEM(S): Dungeons & Dragons Fifth Edition</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">PROJECT TYPE: Deck of spells</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">MOST POPULAR PLEDGE: $50 + $5 US S/H for the PDF, GIF, and print deck</li> </ul>[EXCERPT]“Cast your spells and more with style!
