The Lunar Exalted are Creation’s divine apex predators, monster-heroes chosen by Luna to hunt and prey upon the enemies of the gods in the Divine Revolution. Like their divine patron, the Lunars are puissant shapeshifters, devouring the forms of their human and animal prey and making these a part of their own nature.<em> <strong>Lunars: Fangs at the Gate</strong></em> is a core expansion for the <strong><em>Exalted</em></strong> tabletop roleplaying game. <strong><em>Exalted 3rd Edition</em></strong> is set in a mythic world where spirits walk openly among men, warring demigods topple kingdoms, and the restless dead roam on moonless nights. Heroes granted power by the mightiest gods war and intrigue against one another for the fate of Creation. These are the <strong>Exalted</strong>! <strong><em>Lunars: Fangs at the Gate</em> </strong>introduces the Lunar Exalted into their <strong><em>3rd Edition</em></strong> incarnation and includes all the rules necessary to feature them as player characters or NPC antagonists, including character-creation rules and the Lunar Charm set of powers. This book will give an iconic view of the Lunars, from their mythic origins as the apex predators of Creation to their struggles at the boundaries in the current era. It features details of The Silver Pact, as well as detailing Threshold and other locales where Lunar bands are prominent. Overall, it will focus on the legend of the Lunars, the transformations they've made, and lines they've crossed to take back Creation<strong>. </strong>We will work to create a deluxe hardcover edition of <strong><em>Lunars: Fangs at the Gate</em></strong>, featuring a blue leatherette hardcover with 300+ full-color, silver-edged interior pages and a silver-white silk ribbon bookmark. The front cover will be blue/silver foil embossed with “Lunars” written in Old Realm script, and the spine will be foil-stamped.”[/HQ]</p><p></p><p style="text-align: center">[ATTACH]105061[/ATTACH]</p><p></p><p><strong><a href="https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/snickelsox/lasers-and-liches-new-5e-sourcebooks" target="_blank">Lasers & Liches - New 5E Sourcebooks</a></strong><strong> by <a href="https://www.drivethrurpg.com/browse/pub/12835/Lasers-amp-Liches?affiliate_id=814082" target="_blank">Lasers & Liches</a></strong></p><p></p><ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"><strong>END DATE</strong>: Thu, March 14 2019 11:00 AM EDT. </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"><strong>SYSTEM(S)</strong>: <strong><em>Dungeons & Dragons 5e</em></strong> </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"><strong>PROJECT TYPE</strong>: Campaign setting </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"><strong>MOST POPULAR PLEDGE</strong>: $50 for PDFs of the <strong><em>Game Master's Beats, Test Wave</em></strong>, and <strong><em>The Player's Mix</em></strong> </li> </ul> <p style="margin-left: 20px">[HQ]“A new setting for <strong><em>5E</em></strong>.

Welcome to an exciting new <strong><em>5E</em></strong> universe from <strong>Lasers & Liches</strong>! It is an unbound universe bursting with half-faded memories, barely remembered songs, lost childhood friends, outdated styles, vaporwave, abandoned dreams, lost playthings, vaporware, and time corroded nostalgia. A place both strange and familiar. A place for adventure, chaos, friendship, and the magic of yesteryear. In short, a place that combines your love of the present with your adoration of the past. Do you feel like your <strong><em>5E</em></strong> game might be missing something? Maybe a little Retro-Futurism? We did too! It's time to get weird, time to get crazy, time for more freaking laser corgis! <strong><em>Lasers & Liche</em></strong>s mixes untethered creativity with sci-fantasy and wraps it in the veneer of yesteryear. Expect neon swords, Code Dragons, Pizza Slimes, and so much nostalgia inspired world building. Don't worry though, we know that your memories are sacred, and that's why we're going to treat them with care. This was our childhood too and we are giving it the respect it darn well deserves. Callbacks are easy, and this ain't gonna be easy. The two PDFs we want to bring to you are<strong> The Player's Mix</strong> and <strong>The Game Master's Beats</strong>.

Could it be you? <strong><em>Conclave</em></strong> is a live-action role playing game of the Papal Conclave of 1268. This important event took nearly three years to complete; the Cardinals were bitterly divided, and were only able to resolve their differences once they were threatened with starvation and the very roof was torn off of their palace. As a player in <strong><em>Conclave</em></strong>, you play one of the Cardinals of the Church. Who will you support? What alliances will you forge? What beliefs will you compromise, and which are non-negotiable? Do you have what it takes to rally your peers behind you, and be proclaimed Pope of the Holy Roman Church? <strong><em>Conclave</em></strong> uses simple rules that simulate the real-world conditions of the historical election, including rules for wine and provisions. Elections at various intervals call for the Cardinals to vote, but a two-thirds majority is required to elect a Pope. Should the allotted time run out, you may find yourself with a Papal Schism, with Christendom divided in half.”[/HQ]</p><p></p><p style="text-align: center">[ATTACH]105063[/ATTACH]</p><p></p><p><strong><a href="https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/atlasmundi/immersive-battle-maps-for-tabletop-roleplaying-gam" target="_blank">Immersive Battle Maps for Tabletop Roleplaying Games</a></strong><strong> by Yarro Studios</strong></p><p></p><ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"><strong>END DATE</strong>: Sat, March 9 2019 11:49 AM EST. </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"><strong>SYSTEM(S)</strong>: System agnostic </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"><strong>PROJECT TYPE</strong>: Maps </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"><strong>MOST POPULAR PLEDGE</strong>: $35 + $8 S&H in the US for a print copy of <strong><em>Immersive Battle Maps Vol. 1</em></strong> </li> </ul> <p style="margin-left: 20px">[HQ]“The first book of detailed fantasy battle maps that you play directly inside of.

Elections at various intervals call for the Cardinals to vote, but a two-thirds majority is required to elect a Pope.
