Teylen's RPG Corner

I present to you the new Crowdfunding Collection #113, including every tabletop rpg project started between 07/14 and 07/28.

After a fabulous convention weekend the collection is back, covering two weeks and presenting you with no fewer than 59 projects. I’d like to briefly highlight the German translation of Alas for the sea So tief die schwere See which is currently being financed by System Matters Verlag. On that note, you migth as well like to check out the translation of Mythic Constantinopel.

Onto the English projects, I really like Magical Kitties Save the Day. Cats and kittens are a weakness of mine, the box looks fabulous and if it weren’t for the shipping I’d back it. Next to this I like Paper Arcade, which offers 4 small games, and equity-based pay for the creators. If you are more into gm-less games you should check out Inspire, where you will play spirits trying to achieve godhood. Then there’s Barbarians of the Ruined Earth, which utilizes the Black Hack, to offer an over-the-top post-apocalyptic setting. If you are more into Fate, take a look at Magonomia, which is set in the renaissance and includes authentic european lore. Well, and if you are into D&D 5E check out Forts & Frontiers, which takes a look at North America during the 17. and 18. century.
S.N.A.P.S. Heroes Boot Camp is a quite unusual game, in that it aims to provide help in improving the players social skills with theurapeutic means an an actual therapist participating in the game.
Then there is the „Break Kickstarter“ campaign, leading to quite some unusual games. There is Twelve Hundred Words, which offers 5 little games, about 200 words, which are focused on mental health. Next to a play-by-post campaign. I like the idea and did actually back it. With Brain Trust you’ll have a chance to see the development of a game up close and influence it as the campaign progresses. | BLACK | RED | WHITE | does promise three new games, based on the dreames of the author, whom you got to trust.  Chain Mail on the other hand is almost traditional, offering essentially a play-by-mail roleplaying campaign. Where one continues the story of another. The last entry is a bit morbid, if you don’t wanna read it, just jump to the next paragraph. The game The Tower is written and done, by the author of Killshot and High Plains Samurai, yet it will only be published once the author has literally died.
There are many more cool projects, like the audio gamebook The Vampire of Havena by Ulisses North America. The very stylish Kisarta setting and rulesbook für D&D 5E. A documentary movie named Let’s Play: Dungeons & Dragons Behind Bars and a big campaign for several people named Into the Mad Lands run by Mad Jay as GM utilizing Forbbiden Lands and B/X.
There are many more, interesting projects, which you’ll find here:

GUIDA ALLE ARTI PSIONICHE

https://www.gameontabletop.com/cf211/guida-alle-arti-psioniche.html
La Guida alle Arti Psioniche edita da Ubiq Games permette di combinare nuovi elementi nel vostro gioco di ruolo preferito, per dar vita a un arazzo fantasy che è al contempo nuovo e classico, integrando e aumentando le possibilità a cui attingere quando create le vostre storie.

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.
