Karma to burn you: Era – Survival
I liked the look of Shades of Vengeance’s sci-fi RPG Era: The Consortium. The British publisher’s latest Kickstarter is also tempting me and is only a handful of backers away from funding.

Characters will die: The Carcass – Exodus
Jim Pinto’s second edition of The Carcass is pretty much written. This Kickstarter is to improve the art and tart adding extra classes.
