The original Baby Bestiary, marshalled and creatively directed by Andreas Walters, not only provided me with inspiration, it also looked fantastic. I originally pledged for his 2015 Baby Bestiary calendar, but the full Baby Bestiary would have looked so good on my coffee table. I missed out then, but now Andreas has returned with Baby […]
A second chance for Altais and mankind
Back in 2014 Altais was asking for AUD $40,000 on Kickstarter to fund a good looking fantasy RPG. That project was cancelled. This month the relaunch hit Kickstarter and is asking for a far more modest $10,000. It’s worth a look. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1121209158/altais-age-of-ruin-a-dystopian-fantasy-rpg-relaunc [Back this campaign] This isn’t just a second chance for Parhelia Games’ Aitais […]

Monster girls need you money: The Feminomicon
I nearly scrolled past The Feminomicon in today’s long list of Kickstarter discoveries. An art book full of female monsters? I think there’s a monster girl sub-reddit for that sort of thing. Then I noticed the artist is Christopher Stoll. I know the name. He’s the talent behind this collection of Disney princesses as Avengers. […]
Mutant: Genlab Alpha looks to expand the great Mutant Year Zero
I really liked Mutant Year Zero. Characters are mutants who’ve grown up in an Ark of mutants in the middle of a dangerous wilderness. Everything around them is dying. Their Elder is dying. The land is dying. They’re going to die. The game is about making a difference despite the likely fate, about exploring the […]
Urban fantasy meets Savage Worlds: Olympus Inc
Olympus Inc is an urban campaign setting for Savage Lands and it’ll be available if Fabled Environments are able to hit their $8,500 goal on Kickstarter. There’s more than two weeks left on the clock, at the time of writing, and they’re more than halfway there. For the latest stats check the campaign page. [Back […]

Shades of Vengeance have returned to Kickstarter, after requests from fans, to crowdfund the expansion to their sci-fi Era: The Consortium RPG. I missed the original Kickstarter but note this new Kickstarter offers up cheap ways to secure the core rulebook. There are more details on the campaign page. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/shadesofvengeance/era-the-consortium-the-secret-war [Back this Campaign] If you […]

Tavern Tales RPG oozes with creative possibility
Tavern Tales is another RPG going for a Kickstarter birth. It’s done everything right so far; you can download the rules for free and check out the incredible art, or some of it, in advance. I spoke to Tavern Tales’ creator Dabney Bailey who confirmed the free rules download will last the duration of the […]
