Teylen's RPG Corner

I present to you the new Crowdfunding Collection #109, including every tabletop project started between 06/02 and 06/09.

This week I’d really like to highlight Adventures in Austerion. The game offers stunning artworks and is a fascinating mix of a boardgame and a tabletop rpg without loosing the latter identity. It’s available in English and French and I backed it the moment I found the project, I do highly recommend checking it out. Another interesting game is Sleepaway. The game focuses on campsite horror story and does so by using the Belonging Outside Belonging System from Avery Alder, thus I am tempted. If you are looking for a traditional approach, check out Dungeons & Delvers. It offers exploring dungeons, killing monsters and looting all with a system inbetween D&D 3E and 5E. If you like D&D5E you’ll find that both Amazing Adventures and Rocket Age RPG use the system. Amazing Adventures aims to offer a setting neutral approach, enabling you to play horror, SF, modern, pulp and games set in other genres. In contrast Rocket Age does focus on the titular genre. Battlestations DIRTSIDE isn’t a D&D 5E yet am wonder how much of an RPG is it at all, as game set in a SciFi setting boarders the line of board- and tabletop roleplaying game. Native American Role-Playing Game is a more ttrpg and has a very interesting pitch, yet the presentation of the project took my enthusiasm down and I haven’t got trust that it will deliver. Stormforged on the other hand looks way better and appears to deliver a solid fantasy game.
There are more cool projects like Necronomiconis by Artisano Del Reyes (on Kickstarter and Verkam) which aims to produce a stunningly beautiful Cthulhu acessoire book. Then there’s the French urban fantasy game Cities and Crimes, which I would have backed in a blink of an eye, were they to deliver to Germany. Thus I have to hope that enough French, Belgian and Swiss gamers back it so it comes to be.
There are many, many more cool crowdfundings, see for yourself:

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.
