It is Teach your Kids to Game Week at DriveThruRPG and James Dawsey has kindly contributed to the cause by writing up his own experience. James runs Vigilance Press and is in the final week of a successful Kickstarter for the Wuxia RPG Tianxia: Blood, Silk & Jade. I was asked by my friend Andrew […]
A push for quality: Worn by Heroes
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/wornbyheroes/worn-by-heroes-t-shirts-premium-quality-movie-and/ [Back this Campaign] Worn by Heroes is a community and t-shirt company hoping to launch via a Kickstarter. One of their goals is to get away from plasticy inks that start to crack after a while. I’ve seen this happen on some tees after just one wash. Worn by Heroes will use American Apparel […]
Call of Cthulhu designer lines up for C7’s Cthulhu Britannica: London
Cubicle 7 are, as suspected, going to take to Kickstarter for Cthulhu Britannica: London. We’ve got more of the details now – this will be one of the boxed sets that C7 are known for. The Cthulhu Britannica: London deluxe boxed set for the Call of Cthulhu roleplaying game has a number of game designers […]
Knights in shining Armani: Corporia RPG
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/504288855/corporia-the-rpg-where-camelot-meets-corporate [Back this Campaign] This is an interesting looking RPG. I mean that literally as the Kickstarter pitch shows the book will use photographs and photo manipulation rather than the traditional illustration. That’s quite unusual. We’re told that the photo art will include heroes of both sexes and multiple races. The knights in shining Armani […]
BlackWyrm’s erasable tabletop gaming maps
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. It was described simply as “Hero System veterans Blackwyrm Publishing have an interesting and useful Kickstarter going on for Erasable Gaming Maps!”. I think it’s a good idea. If you’re using […]
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 […]
Lords of Discord blends RPG elements into a turn based strategy
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 […]
