[Back this Campaign] Going three or four steps beyond the concept of paper minis for your tabletop RPG adventures is the idea of an entire tabletop town. That’s exactly what Tabletop Towns offer. The boxes are suitable for 28mm wargame or tabletop system and transform into buildings. Okay, I’ll admit it, I was a bit […]
Protect your luck: Cryptex dice vaults
Do you hate it when someone else touches your dice? Is it fair when someone grabs one of your d20s, rolls and lands a crit that might have been yours? Or do you need just a handy, pocket sized, cool looking dice holder? These photographs are of the prototype for the smallest Cryptex Dice Vaults […]
OGL and fantasy world epic: Orin Rakatha
[Back this Campaign] I was able to speak to Mike Penny of the Orin Rakatha project ahead of this Kickstarter launch and used it to ask some questions about the campaign. As usual, given the busy Kickstarter marketplace, I was keen to discover some of the details and why gamers might pick Orin Rakatha ahead […]

Baker Street from Kirby Young and Fearlight Games is set after the Reichenbach Falls encounter, when Sherlock is believed to be dead and yet cases […]
Odd seems to be attractive: Far Away Land RPG
[Back this Campaign] I’ve a feeling that Simian Circle Games won’t think too poorly of me for describing the Far Away Land RPG as odd. It’s most certainly odd. If you’re not able to watch the video right now then you have snails rising up to use lasers to defend the land from demon-like creatures. […]
She Makes Comics sets high but worthwhile Kickstarter goal
[Back this Campaign] There’s no doubt in my mind that She Makes Comics is a worthy Kickstarter. The quote at the end of the pitch video from producer Karen Green makes that clear. She says; There are a lot of women in this club and there is always room for more. The team are asking […]

Shadows of Esteren wows Kickstarter with Tuath
One of my favourite RPGs to come to me via Kickstarter is Shadows of Esteren. There have been some really great RPGs made possible by Kickstarter but I hold up Esteren as iconic for two reasons. Firstly, this is an RPG that would probably never have left France and been made available in English without […]
