White Box: Cyclopedia from Barrel Rider Games and Gallant Knight Games

- SYSTEM(S): Swords & Wizardry White Box ruleset
- PROJECT TYPE: Core rule boxed set
- MOST POPULAR PLEDGE: $30 for the PDF version of the book and a POD coupon for the book
- WHY SPOTLIGHT THIS CAMPAIGN? This project takes the contents of the Swords & Wizardry White Box plus additional rule options and combines them into a single book of rules and possibilities. James M. Spahn (White Box Omnibus, White Box Compendium, White Star, White Box Science Fiction Roleplaying, and so much more) works with Gallant Knight Games to bring all of the Original D&D rules to a single book, one built from the core boxed set and 200 pages worth of options. The guiding idea is what if “Dave and Gary had remained friends and partners”? That means 30 classes, 12 heritages, nearly 200 monsters, spells, chivalry, strongholds, and more such as Matt Finch of Mythmere Games and author of OSRIC and Swords & Wizardry Complete providing a preface for the book. If you’re a fan of OSRs, this gives you a single resource covering a variety of OD&D-style options.

- PROJECT TYPE: Core rulebooks

- WHY SPOTLIGHT THIS CAMPAIGN? This project brings Bloat Games’ love letter to the 1990s superhero animated series to 5e. Designed to give the feel of cartoons series like Batman: The Animated Series, X-Men, Spider-Man, and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, this project offers two books: Vigilante City: Core Rules and Vigilante City: Game Master's Guide. Updated from earlier systems, this edition of Vigilante City gives you the 5e ruleset you’ll need for a modern environment where over-the-top crime and superpowers are an everyday concern.

Era: Sharkninja - A Tabletop RPG of Mutants & Robots from Shades of Vengeance
- END DATE: Sun, February 9 2025 4:00 PM EST.
- SYSTEM(S): Era D10 System
- PROJECT TYPE: Core rulebook
- MOST POPULAR PLEDGE: £15 + S/H for the PDF and print versions of the book
- WHY SPOTLIGHT THIS CAMPAIGN? Keeping with the TMNT vibe, let’s look at Era: Sharkninja, a game inspired by Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Street Sharks, and Dishonoured. This game is about sharkninjas fighting against aliens to free humanity because, and I quote, “Humans taste better when they are free range!” That’s right, no matter who wins, humans are the losers in this scenario. But, you don’t play a human, you play as a sharkninja that’s ready to do what they must to improve the quality of their next meal. If you have not tried any Era D10 System projects before, put that thought aside and embrace the zaniness that is hungry sharkfighter heroes, sort of a vampire superhero project only with many more teeth and martial arts.
