The Blood of Salvora is a new addition, but not a new edition to the Slavic and Mediterranean inspired dark fantasy RPG. If you’ve already got the core rules, then this Kickstarter could be worth $30 in credit for you. You can read more and follow the campaign here. [Back this Campaign] Let’s take a […]
A world in which everyone has a magical animal ally: Familiars of Terra
The land of Tir is gorgeous but it is still rebuilding after a devastating war. It’s the setting for Angry Hampster Publishing’s Familiars of Terra RPG. The quickstart rules have been available on DriveThru RPG for free since February. I’ve read and enjoyed them. Familiars of Terra feels like a very different game from the […]

A secret success? Liminal RPG
Paul Mitchener’s Kickstarter for the Liminal RPG looks like it does everything wrong. Like Summerland we have a vertical video, just the author dialogue and in this case shaky cam footage from Mitchener’s lap. Easy to give a miss? Right? Stick with it. You’ll be able to tell that Paul Mitchener isn’t reading off a […]
The world has changed: Summerland 2e Kickstarts
This is one of two British RPGs that are doing well in Kickstarter that Geek Native will look at tonight. Like Liminal the pitch video is… poor. A vertical shot of the author explaining his game. No art. No wow. Nothing. But what Summerland offers is intelligence. This is a sequel as well, the second […]
