Jon Hodgson has launched a sequel to the Beowulf rpg. I really liked what he did with that - very low magic, dark ages, focused on duet play - so I'm definitely in on this.

Yeah I backed this, the last one was great value for money.

I’d seen this posted elsewhere, but don’t think it’s been shaeed here. It’s on Backerkit rather than Kickstarter.

Looks like a pretty cool game.

I've been forgetting to post the projects I'm backing. Either that or embarrassed that I'm still backing as many when I'm supposed to be cutting down

I've been waiting for the last big cluster of projects to arrive before I start anymore (or I'm trying anyway )

Just got the Paranoia physical books last week.

Vast Grimm books should be shipping shortly (PDF's received)

Still waiting for the Shadowdark physical books (PDF's received)

Still waiting for the Castaway physical books (PDF's received)

Still waiting for anything from the Talislanta project.

Still waiting for the physical Zone Wars: Mutant Year Zero Skirmish game.

For this you get the slow clap of deep respect.

I haven't heard of this before -

Amazon product

But there's a campaign coming up with this - Nightfall games and Chaosium teaming up? Color me interested!

Ah, isn't this already what Triple Ace Games' Ubiquity based League games do? I'm always amazed at how well tentacles sell.

I don't know... it's based on an IP, so I'm guessing it will be colored differently.

Hey kids, don't trust your players' offline rolls in your online game? Make them buy a Knucklebone!

Kind of reminds me of that electronic die roller they advertised on Dragon, was it called Dragonbones?

This looks fun.
A Not! Star Wars game for 5e.

 

[Simon Hogwood]

Just in case there are interested parties who missed the thread about their upcoming Chuck Dixon's Conan book, the ACKS II Kickstarter is live:



They quadrupled their goal in the first day, so I think we can call that, "tentative success".

I have a variant of this. It's a sock full of quarters and a huge pile of Aeroplan miles.

Heh, the old Knucklebone Dragonbone went into the digital age. Cool, but it will be hacked before people get their delivery.

Roleplay in a comfortable hoodie. I'm down for the limited version.

 

[Fenris-77]

That makes me think of one of my odder pastimes. I really enjoy getting on Amazon and adding 'tactical' to random normal goods, just to see what comes up. The existence of things like tactical diaper bags was a new thing for me.

Sigh. I'm in for the Sherpa version.

Of course.

Oh lookit that, a birthday present for my roommate who’s always unreasonably cold.

For those who backed the Tome of Intriguing Options Kickstarter for Honor + Intrigue Swashbuckling RPG, or were interested in it but didn't get it yet, the book is now available in Print-On-Demand. Backers who pledged to receive a hard copy should check their inboxes for the code.

 

[Agemegos]

Backed! I’m always looking for a good-sized, portable, dry-erase hex-mat for my sketch maps of combat scenes, and I firmly believe that players have a right to a hex-grid. My current solution is a grid printed on paper and assembled to A3 inside a PET brochure-display cover. This sounds a lot more portable and practical—less slippery, fo a start.

It arrived today. Thinner, denser, and limper than I expected, and therefore even easier to pack and transport than I hoped.

I just wanted to take a moment to congratulate robertsconley on what seems like a roaring success of a KS so far for his How to Make a Fantasy Sandbox book.

Thanks! robertsconley either didn't hawk his wares here or I missed it... and I don't miss a good Kickstarter!

My Bat in the Attic Blog post updates are the best source of info about what I am doing. I crosspost all my blog stuff to a thread here on the Pub.

Once the treasure is won where can it be spent? One popular choice is to build or buy a stronghold, whether it is a lonely wilderness outpost, a crossroad inn, or a building in a bustling city state. Buying versus Building If the campaign is set in a city or town, often there isn’t room for...

Thanks to chuckdee pointing out a flaw in how I promote my stuff here on the Pub. I made a separate post on the RPG forum but I probably should have crossposted to here for the folks just following this topic.

How to Make a Fantasy Sandbox

Starting in 2009, I wrote a series of 24 posts on the Bat in the Attic blog covering the different aspects of creating a hexcrawl-formatted setting. Over 150,000 views later I have finished the series. Along the way, many of you thanked me for writing the series and told me how it helped your own efforts.

Now that the last post has been completed, I combined and rewrote these posts into a single 150-page book. I also consolidated the small fantasy setting I was using, the Isle of Pyade into its own document that you can drop into your own campaign.

Many of you enjoyed Blackmarsh, Points of Light, and my remastered version of Judges Guild's Wilderlands of High Fantasy. Now with How to Make a Fantasy Sandbox, you can learn the techniques I used to make these settings to make your own world to adventure in.

The project rewards will consist of a digest-sized version of my Blackmarsh setting with a new layout and art. The How to Make a Fantasy Sandbox book and the Isle of Pyade setting book will be available as PDF and Print-on-demand books using at-cost print coupons from DriveThruRPG.

I'm just a habitual Kickstarter... I don't actually read anything

Wow. $250K funding goal.

 

[Korgoth]

Just came across this kickstarter by accident, Reaper Miniatures RPG 'Dungeon Dwellers'

The kickstarter page has links to several videos explaining and showing off the RPG system.

I noticed that, it is high for a RPG project. I’m sure they’ll make it but it did raise my eyebrow for a second before I pledged.

I have heard from play testers that it is a pretty good system to run 5E modules with. Here is a short discussion of it

I noticed this bit - "Our license does not include the sale of PDF versions of these books". Presumably this means the no-PDF policy isn't Palladium's idea.

 

[Gabriel]

I got into Dice Throne some time back. I really need to play it more. I had recently been thinking about jumping into their Marvel comics themed releases for the game.

Well, look at what I noticed on Kickstarter since I checked it today:

Correct, they sell PDFs of all their other products. Kevin isn’t anti PDF
