I present to you the new Crowdfunding Collection #55, including every tabletop project started between 10.09 till 10.19.).
You’ll find a few foreign language projects. The Sprawl is translated to German as Der Sprawl. Tales of the Loop will be translated to French and The Dark Eye will get a Dutch translation as Het Oog des Meesters. If you are curious about The Dark Eye and LARP, a crowdfunding for the (German) LARP rules for The Dark Eye is on its way.
Though, as to get to the meat. I got enamored by CATaclysm. A game in which you play anthropomorphic cats, with a setting that does invoke memories of Nausicaä … that’s at least for me. Yet I do feel tempted by Jim Pintos Praxis: Black Monk game as well. I’ve read one of the Praxis games and it’s a really interesting concept.
Then it’s October again and Halloween is encroaching. Thus there are several games placed in the horror genre: Don’t Look Back (Urban Horror), Aliens & Astroids (SF Horror) and B-Horror (well d’uh). Next to those, The Road to Bethlehem is a tabletop rpg / boardgame that caught my interest. It is the first game focused on religion, Christianity to be specific, to actually look competent and fun.
There are of course more games. Like the D20 / D30 RPG & DCC Dice Chain Sets set, which convinced me by presenting beautiful and strange dice. I am as well still considering getting the Wee Beasties kids book, as it looks really, really cute.
Though there are plenty more cool projects, just take a look:

Tales from the Loop
https://fr.ulule.com/talesfromtheloop/
Le jeu de rôle d’anticipation des années 80
Tales from the Loop est un jeu de rôle novateur dans les années 80, ayant reçu les plus grandes récompenses aux Etats-Unis aux ENnie Awards 2017 (notamment Meilleur Jeu et Produit de l’Année).Mais les années 80 de Tales from the Loop ne sont pas celles que nous connaissons. La technologie a fait des bonds fascinants et permet de trouver des robots domestiques dans les foyers, ou de prendre un gravitrain pour aller au bureau. Les scientifiques créent des machines dotées d’intelligence, et étudient la possibilité de voyager dans le temps, ou de projeter son esprit à distance… C’est dans cet univers que vous allez incarner des enfants et des adolescents aux vies normales, confrontés à des événements fantastiques.
How to get into the Collection
There are essentially two ways for a project to be included
) I do try to actually find each and every new project. At the one hand I do use my Crowdfunding Suchliste (It is essentially a list of links). At the other hand I do try to keep close tabs on several communities, groups, forums, newsletters etc.
) I do have to rely on readers, project creators or fans pointing out projects to be included in the collection. Because several platforms like Patreon, IndieGoGo, Startnext, and more offer no option to enter a search term and look for the newest started project.
If you like to submit a project, or your project. There are just a few things to watch:
The project should be somewhat related to tabletop role-playing.
The project should be live and preferably still live when the collection goes up.
The project shouldn’t be included in a previous collection.
Usually I am happy about any suggestions. It’s as well a method to make sure I include a project which is out of range for my completist approach. As, for example, I don’t include every convention project or every miniature / terrain / map project.
