https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/blackwyrm/erasable-gaming-maps/ [Back this Campaign] I found this pitch for a set of erasable tabletop gaming maps from a post on Hero Games’ Facebook page.

The argument for Chronos: The Universal LARP System
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/eschatonmedia/chronos-the-universal-larp-system/ [Back this Campaign] The Kickstarter for Chronos has, at the time of posting, a few days on the clock. It’s funded; currently about $1,000 in pledges more than target. Are you a LARPer? LARP-curious? Geek Native spoke to Ashley Zdeb, putting some hard questions forward, to make sure the argument for Chronos was clear. […]
Dice are dead!
Do you have to use dice in your roleplaying game? Game designer Stuart Keating’s latest game “Three Days Until Retirement” has raised thousands on Kickstarter, many times more than target, plenty of time still to pledge (when this post goes live) and is one that uses a card-based resolution system. Dice are dead! OK maybe […]
The Graywalkers of Purgatory
[Back this Campaign] Fresh into the Kickstarter melee is this pitch from Dreamlords Digital. They’re looking for $100,000 for an RPG that looks good enough to cost four or five times as much. The questions are; have they undersold, over-promised and will this fund? The $20 pledge level gets a digital copy of the game. […]
Frog God Games’ The Lost Lands: Sword of Air is booming
It’s odd to see a Kickstarter without a video pitch these days – especially for one asking for $75,000. Frog God Games have raised more than they need, though, as I write there’s more than $77,000 in the bank, with 23 days on the clock and nearly 350 backers. You can back the campaign here […]

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1637037674/lords-of-discord/ [Back this Campaign] Lords of War is a Kickstarter from Herocraft that looks to blend some RPG elements into a turn based strategy. The video pitch does a good job at explaining it; your hero is a significant influence in the battle, earning experience and upgrades. You also have to protect your cities while […]
Head of State: A peak inside Dead Roots for zombie action
At the start of the month Geek Native covered the Dead Roots Kickstarter. It’s going well; there’s still 10 days on the clock, more than 230 backers, funded and well into stretch goals now. Here’s the pitch: [Back this Campaign] In about a week’s time Kickstarter will send out a reminder email to all those […]
“Unwritten” Myst tabletop RPG going strong on Kickstarter
[Back this Campaign] Confession; I’ve never played the Myst computer game. I’ve never played it despite many friends being incredibly positive about it. Perhaps this Kickstarter will be a solution? InkWork Productions now have nearly $20,000 in the bank (asking for only $5,000) to fund a RPG called Unwritten: Adventures in the Ages of Myst […]
The art of Fae Nightmares
These two wonderful illustrations are a sneak peak into Dark Smile Games’ Fae Nightmare. This is a urban fantasy with a blend of Native American and European legends and lore on the fae and supernatural set in a contemporary world. The Savage Worlds game has players in the role of humans who have become caught […]
Monte Cook & Bruce Cordell team up for The Strange RPG Kickstarter
[Back this Campaign] Monte Cook and Bruce Cordell are both professional developers, both have had success on Kickstarter and are long time friends. Amazingly, they’ve never worked on a full RPG together. This Kickstarter for a game they’re working on called The Strange is likely to change that. The Strange makes use of multiple words […]
