I present to you the new Crowdfunding Collection #110, including every tabletop project started between 06/10 and 06/23.
My attendance to NordCon (a German role-playing game convention), delayed the collection for a week, thus it comes with none fewer than a total of 70 projects,… let’s get to them.
I’d like to briefly highlight the gamebook Kurai Jikan Eidolon (in German) which still requires some funding. I do know the author, followed his previous crowdfunding campaigns on a different platform and do recommend the project based on his skills as well as his ability to fulfill his projects.
Back to the English project, I did back Wicked Ones. The game uses a system based on Blades in the Dark and spices it up by allowing the players to essentially act as Dungeon Keeper. I liked both and thus couldn’t resist. Neither could I resist The Roleplayer’s Guide To Heists, which is a system-agnostic sourcebooks. I tend to regularly have groups trying to do a heist of one kind or another, and think the guide will be mighty useful.
Next to those two I almost backed a lot of more narrative games – which I grouped under „Story Game Role-Playing Games“. Like Hearts of Magic: Threads Entangled, a game that places the players in the tumultous conflicts between fey-nobles, arcane bureaucrats and anarchist witches – a setup that does sound fun. On a way more serious note I might back into Red Carnations on a Black Grave, which sees the players assume the role of French resistance member during World War II. The game takes a cue from Montesgur 1244 and offers historic characters to explore the conflicts. Then there’s the way more „fantastic“ Bleak Spirit, a game that aims to be a kind of (Dark) Souls-like. Yet, not by providing the players with very difficult fights, and more by providing a setting which melancholy and darkness is inspired by the one of the Souls series. Then there is What We Were, which shares the investigation of the characters personality with Bleak Spirits, while not being as bleak. Well, and there’s Troll’s Teeth, I have no idea how it works, but I am impressed by the use of wedges for the game mechanic.
With the, kind of avalanch, of fantasy rpgs, I found the Science Fiction approach of The ADVANCED kind of fresh. Among the fantasy games I like the design and graphics of Zafir: Tactical Roleplaying Game, Children of the Beast and The King of Dungeons – they do look very neat. Yet I do would recommand that you take a glance at Emberlord, Realm of the Livingstones, Age of Hunters, Awoken and The Awakening RPG as well, if you like fantasy.
There is an English gamebook by the name of Escape from Darkmoor and plenty more, interesting, cool projects worth checking out, just take a look:
