I present to you the new Crowdfunding Collection #140, including every tabletop rpg project started between 04/12 and 04/26.
This time the translation of the collection rolls out a whole week late, mostly because I wasn’t feeling that well last week and even forgot to spread the German one around, as I usually do.
Though, onto the projects, if you are looking for a narrative fantasy game, check out Wickedness. It tackles the topic of queerness and offers a quite intriguiging system based on a tarot deck. The HârnMaster Boxed Set offers a way more traditional roleplaying and more lowkey fantasy experience. The campaign deliveres everything you could wish for, if you like to delve into a grim and „realistic“ campaign and it does look stylish. Then there’s another attempt of financing Savage Kingdoms and the ADVANCED FANTASY rpgs, both offering a less deadly fantasy setting of their own.
If you prefer your fantasy with a good dash of horror and weirdness, you might look forward to the newest edition of Deadlands: the Weird West. The classical setting gets an overhaul along with tuning for the latest ruleset of Savage Worlds. If you rather would like to experience what it is to be outsiders, who still have to defend their village against eldritch foes, check out Skull Diggers. It looks cool and I like the idea.
Maybe you like to have your horror with a more pronounced focus on surviving. In this case take a look at Torchbearer 2nd edition. You play rather small heros, it looks darker than Hârnmaster and it is quite deadly. Though you might judge that by taking a peek into the system. If you’d like to try your luck surviving with an OSR-rule set, check out Wendigo. Which offers a small OSR game.
Last but not least of the ttrpgs, there’s the Sickest Witch. A solo roleplaying experiences with pronounced card- and boardgame elements. While I am not sure about the actual ttrpg factor, it does look quite cool and interesting, which is why I included it.
There are other cool projects. For example the urban fantasy setting The Expanse or the „Italian Western“ themed renaissance setting BRANCALONIA – both -for D&D 5E. There are fascinating sourcebooks like FERETORY for MÖRK BORG or Knights of Gartania 2 for D&D. Well and both the Anubis Dice and Dice Holder and the DekTech card boxes tempt me quite a lot and sport a cool design.
You’ll find these and many 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.
