https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1371460348/the-ningyo/ [Back this project] Geek Native’s featured The Green Ruby Pumpkin already. The short movie wowed geeks last year and picked up, with ease, a staff pick at Vimeo. It’s certainly very interesting to see what these movie makers will be doing next. I don’t know much about the Japanese legend of the Ningyo but […]
The Realmsound Project: Making the pitch for RPG audio
Do you think audio has a place in tabletop RPGs? That’s to say; should the GM be able to enhance the game by playing sound at the right point in time? Would that improve the atmosphere or does it ruin the sense of imagination? There’s been some Kickstarter success. Wes Otis asked for $1,000 and […]
Are high level games for lazy GMs? Sean Patrick Fannon discusses Shaintar: Legends Unleashed

Doctor Who fans can help put a TARDIS in space
[Back the Campaign] That’s right; this father-daughter team are planning on putting a solar powered, picture sending, TARDIS into space. They need some money. No surprise there. For $15 you can get your name on the hard drie in the TARDIS. At $45 you get a t-shirt and this is one with bragging rights. That […]
Call of Cthulhu takes the 7th edition to Kickstarter
[Back this Campaign] The video above isn’t the Kickstarter pitch video for the project. There’s no such video. There’s an image header instead which you can see below. The video was actually quite important though. It helped convince me that this wasn’t a fake Kickstarter project. There’s no mention of the pitch on Chaosium’s homepage […]
Mind’s Eye Theatre: Vampire the Masquerade LARP looks to return
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/bynightstudios/minds-eye-theatre-vampire-the-masquerade/ [Back this Kickstarter] At the start of the year By Night Studios announced a deal with CCP that gave them a license deal to update the LARP system for Mind’s Eye Theatre. This would mean a revision of the Vampire: The Masquerade LARP rules and perhaps other World of Darkness properties. It’s a few […]

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/syntheticph/wish-it-inc-a-comedy-fantasy-web-series/ [Back this Campaign] Have you ever seen Ellen McLain? She’s the voice of GLaDOS. Geek Native once found a video of the trained opera singer on stage but it was pulled. Maybe someone’s unearthed another. However, if you want to see the famous McLain and listen to her voice you can. In fact, you […]

Not at $20,000, $40,000 or even $50,000 asking price either? The Deluxe Exalted 3rd Ed stepped up to ask for a whopping $60,000 and has already sailed by. The pitch has been up […]
OVA: The Anime Role-Playing game shatters Kickstarter targets
[Back this Campaign] What anime RPG comes to mind? Big Eyes, Small Mouth from Guardians of Order? A superhero RPG? HeartQuest? I think there’s room for more. There is OVA and in fairness it hadn’t hit my radar until their successful Kickstarter. Perhaps I’m not the only one in the same boat because as of […]
