I present to you the new Crowdfunding Collection #106, including every tabletop project started between 04/28 and 05/12.
As I had to fight, and am fighting, some health issue the collection got delayed a week, which is why it sport a big number of very cool projects with no fewer than 15 rpgs being funded.
The only game I backed though is A Cool and Lonely Courage, in the groups takes on the roles of women of the resistance in France during the war. Another rpg tackling history is Making History, which offers not one but three games with two set in the past. The games are short and concise, which I find interesting. I’m as well interested in Mud, Blood, & Glory, which is a game set in the Wild West, with seemingly more traditional mechanics, which I got starred too.
Another game that I got starred is Afterlife. Taking on the role of dead people trying to find out who they were in a surreal adventure sounds interesting. I do think that the approach of Facing the Titan which focus on the cost of the fight against Titans more than the tactic is interesting to. As is the Orpheus Protocol which offers a more traditional Urban Fantasy setting. Then there’s the Advanced: Pandemonium with a dystopian ScyFy fantasy Setting and the rather simple and fun S3RPG game. If you like science fiction you can look forward to the Traveller Fifth Edition, if you are more into Cyberpunk have a look at GeneFunk 2090 or if you’re more into SyFy take alook at Flotz. Fantasy enthusiast on the other hand can select from Five Torches Deep, Dimensions, Far Away Land and Escape from Orodor.
There are many more interesting project, like the Patreon of Eric Franklin for the Kicksnarker community, the Kingmaker project by Paizo on the GameOnTabletop platform, the Leather D20 Dice Bag Kit offering a do-it-yourself project for creating dice bags, a Dice Charger for lumicent dice, the LumaCast to literally luminate area of effects and many, many more:

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.
