Teylen's RPG Corner

I present to you the new Crowdfunding Collection #69, including every tabletop project started between 02.12. till 02.19.

Given last weeks been valentines day a lot of new projects started up.
Gallant Knight Games are back with the Tiny Wastelands project. I’ve been in love with their previous Kickstarters like Mecha & Kajius and Tiny Fantasy and are up and ready to take it post-apocalyptic. Thus I backed and do recommend it. Bodycount on the other hand, a cyber punk/space punk rpg, did look a bit sparse on infos on first sight. Yet after having enjoyed the fun, australian-flavored video I am quite enticed and tempted. As it does remind me a bit of the humor of Tank Girl.
In regards of story game the most notable, in my opinion, is the funding of the second edition of Summerland. The game system changed to Open D6, yet should keep a narrative focus and the setting in which characters face their traumata. The Princess Bride RPG on the other hand is more lighthearted, offering the players to indulge into the inconcivable adventures and settings of the cult movie (and to a degree the book). The game uses Fudge and is developed by the creator of the system. Then there is H. P. Lovecraft Preparatory Academy offering a more fun than horror approach to the Cthulhu-Mythos utilizing a system based on PDQ#. Well, and if you check out Protean you’ll get a wholly new system.
Yet, the „none core book“-projects are fun as well. Like the Element Class Cruisers box set for Traveller or the Stormlands region description for Trudvang. A projects I find, quite out of the ordinary is The Pallid Mask. Not exactly because it’s a Cthulhu Adventure, but because it offeres „King in Yellow“-themed Tiki mugs. (Which I imagine to be a bit like polynesian beer steins).
Among the valentines season befitting, foreign language projects you’ll find Wege der Vereinigungen, the most recent project by Ulisses Spiele. Enriching the setting of The Dark Eye with a supplement all about (the positive) aspects of love. The book is designed with positivity as well as inclusivity in mind, well research and lavishly presented with quite some cool features like an audio-companion. I am intruiged by it, will backing and find it quite fascinating. La Trilogie de la Crasse (Triology of the Filth) caught my eye among the French projects. Basically because of the NC-17 sticker, yet at closer inspection it appears to offer a quite fascnating horror setting.
Next to those projects you’ll find (more English projects like) exciting adventures, beautiful dice, quite a lot of novels and comics based on tabletop rpgs, cool looking map projects and many more. Just take a look:

Role-Playing Game

La Trilogie de la Crasse

https://www.gameontabletop.com/crowdfunding-88.html
La Trilogie de la Crasse c’est trois romans gore et un jeu de rôle d’horreur en un seul gros tome, dans la lignée de Trash Editions ou Dimension Trash (vous y reconnaîtrez des auteurs de JdR français !), et des films Mimic, The Human Centipede, La Mouche, sans oublier Le Festin Nu. L’idée est aussi de présenter un auteur qui est en dehors du petit milieu du JdR : Siébert, issu de l’underground.
Cela va sans dire, ce projet satirique et outrancier est réservé à un public adulte !

Campaign

Deadlands Reloaded • Le Déluge & Les Derniers fils

https://www.gameontabletop.com/crowdfunding-98.html
Avec cette nouvelle précommande participative, nous souhaitons donc te proposer un projet plus maîtrisé, dont l’objectif est de t’envoyer dans des délais rapides le suivi tant attendu pour Deadlands Relodead. Tu t’en souviens peut-être, grâce à deux objectifs de la précédente PP, nous avions officiellement lancé la traduction de deux campagnes : le Déluge et les Derniers Fils. Comme on peut encore le lire sur la page de la PP, il s’agissait à l’époque de concrétiser une annonce de suivi en demandant à notre traductrice de commencer à travailler sur ces deux ouvrages. Aujourd’hui, nous revenons vers toi car ces traductions sont terminées. Les ouvrages sont même relus et maquettés et nous avons besoin de l’aide de ton Gang et toi pour proposer la qualité d’ouvrage habituelle et, si le projet dépasse les espérances, ajouter quelques bonus aussi agréables qu’utiles pour tes parties !

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. On the one hand, I do use my Crowdfunding Suchliste (It is essentially a list of links). On 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 with 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.
