I present to you the new Crowdfunding Collection #97, including every tabletop project started between 02/10 and 02/17.
This time around you’ll find no less than 57 projects, 17 of whom are fulfledge games. Thus I can only give a selected few one a shout out, which by no means shall inidcate that the rest aren’t cool, interesting projects as well.
So, I personally did back Casket Land as well as Comrades among the full games. Both are PbtA games. Casket Land will have you play a one-shot in the wild west. While Comrades puts you in the shoes of the revolutionary underground. If you like to get a whole bunch of Mini-RPGs check out Love Letters by Meguey Baker and synthesis. The games by Meguey are once that have been played at her home, while those in synthesis does support the metatextual analysis the zine provides. Suburb Punk on the other hand is more ground and explores the (glorified) 90ties in full. I did back it, after I found out I was wrong, and they do ship to Germany. If you like your nostalgia more 80ties and enjoy horror, check out RPG Nasty, a game offering just that. Among the „normal“ games I feel tempted to back Icarus. The game explore the rise and inevitable fall of societies with a dice-stacking mechanic. I do like the concept of Beamswords and Bazookas as well, yet the project description is a bit sparse. There are more interesting RPGs like The Ultraviolet Grass, Storybook, Black Mass, Master of the Rogue Spire and many, many more. Just as I said 17 in total.
Conclave is one of the rare Larp projects, offering rules how to set the game. I do as well enjoy the illustration of the game book Blood Sword. Well, and I dedicated a blog article to Lunars: Fangs at the Gate. While Laser & Liches does look really cool. Last but not least I like to give a shout-out to Matthew „The Gentleman Gamer“ Dawkins Patreon, which I support and described in a blog article as well.
There are plenty more projects to explore, just dive right into the list:

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.
Hi! Thank you so much for featuring my Kickstarter „SuburbPunk.“
One small correction, we do ship internationally. What we lack is an overseas distributor. The physical game is small (1-4oz) and fits in an envelope, so that cost is minimal. We will likely look into overseas POD services to deliver any of the books. It may be cheaper to have it printed locally, instead of printing it in the USA and shipping overseas.
We will also look into translating the book. Once this Kickstarter closes and we deliver the rewards, we will launch a followup Kickstarter project for setting books about what is happening around the world during the Y2K apocalypse.
Cheers!
Thank you for your kind words and remark.
I was wrong, after your correction I did pledge to your „SuburbPunk“ campaign and just now adapted to description with the shout-out :)
