Teylen's RPG Corner

I present to you the new Crowdfunding Collection #104, including every tabletop project started between 04/14 and 04/21.

Easter approaching didn’t slow down rpg crowdfundings, thus let’s get started.
One Child’s Heart offers a very interesting game about empathy, hope and personal connections. It puts the player in the roles of child welfare professional who explore the memories of a kid, trying to help and heal. I consider the concept quite interesting and recommend having a look. If you are looking for a game for kids, instead about them, check out the A.R.M.zine. Then there is Big Eyes, Small Brains, which takes the BESM approach to Anime and aims at providing fast and fun one-shot games. If you’re more in creating your own setting, you might like to check out COMIRPG. I personally am more into science fiction and thus Zoetrope caught my attention. It has a card based system and one does play time travellers trying to keep time in shape. Then there is Augusta Universalis, which offers some really cool looking mech or rather power suits and promises tons of actions.
The only game I actually backed, while technically only being like role-playing game adjenct, is Vampire: The Masquerade – Heritage. It’s a legacy boardgame with lots of cards and as I was a V5 supporter right next to one of their demo tables during SPIEL it looks really, really good.
There are of course more project, like PuzzleTales. It doesn’t describe itself as a „game book“, but after checking out the description I think that’s what it is. I do actually like and consider backing the Pride Dice Bags. There is a Turn Keeper which looks mighty cool, Project Orion will help you paint your minis and I am quite astonished that 5e Fantasy RPG Advent Calendar and Terror at Weihnachten invoke christmas mood during Eastern.
You’ll find these and more projects here:

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.
