Teylen's RPG Corner

I present to you the new Crowdfunding Collection #148, including every tabletop rpg project started between 08/16 and 08/09.

The weather cooled down and thus I am back to a somewhat regular weekly schedulded. Despite the recent wordpress changes to the editor, which are hell. Without further ado, let us have a look at the current 36 projects.

Let’s start with the fascinating, new game Gun&Slinger. The game for one GM and two players has one player play the „Slinger“ and one player play the „Gun“. Like the literal shooting iron. Though, given that the mallable setting is post-magic, the gun actually is sentient, still can do magic, and is able to intimidate people on its own. Combined with a card based system I am quite intruiged and consider backing it. As an afficinado of Urban Fantasy I did actually back The Great American Witch. Just as it suggests in the title, the game has you assume the role of a witch. With the choice of all kind of witches. Necromatic witches, herbal witches, psychic witches,… it is a cool concept, especially if you like the WoD. Though check out their video (which got me hooked). The system, that utilizes elements of PbtA and „The Great American Novel“ seems cool as well. Mnemonic offers another fascinating twist, in that you’ll be playing „Weaver“ who shape the narratives of heroes and thus form a sort of canon. I like the idea, and you can checkout the core system for free. Then there’s Fria Ligan who are reviving Twilight 2000 with a new edition. The game puts you in a grim & gritty World War III scenario. The system is a 2d6 variant of the MY0 enginge and the project is quite popular. If you are a fan of the WW III setting, the illustrations or the system, take a look. Though personally I don’t like the WW III setting.
If you like really classic fantasy, take a look at Old-School Essentials: Advanced Fantasy. Basically AD&D OSR, if my guess is right? If you like classic fantasy or the OSR, take a look. I think it would be right up your ally. If you are interested in Sword & Sorcery fantasy, checkout the second edition of Sword Noir. It looks quite solid.
If, in these times of the corona plague, you are looking for a sole game,… Dungeonrunnner: The Companion & Immortal Set seems cool. It might be more a solo dungeon crawler than a gamebook or a tabletop rpg, but I think it veers close enough to warrant a mention.
There are many more cool projects. There’s Wondrous Expeditions which will support / aid your world building efforts, there are D&D 5E adventures to be had in The Dream Prison, the Ice-covered Lava DICE look cool, as do the D20 Sharp Edges Inclusions with Star / Moon dice, which you might put into the stylish and customizable Token Sesame container.
These, and many more cool projects you’ll find 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.
