Teylen's RPG Corner

I present to you the new Crowdfunding Collection #154, including every tabletop rpg project started between 10/15 and 11/01.

Despite having limited internet access, I composed a collection, which I translated later than usual. I hope you still enjoy the projects started between 10/15 and 11/01.

Let’s start with the project named Xenolanguage. The game from the makers of Dialect explores understanding an alien language. Like in, a language spoken by aliens. The game offers quite unique and distinct mechanics, that enable a myriad of unique playthroughs. I am fascinated by the mechanics, the topic of languages and highly recommend having a look. I got the project on my list. If you want to explore an Elizabethan England, check out The Dee Sanction. A rules lite game in which you play characters who are traitors — charged with a death sentence under the Act Against Conjurations, Enchantments and Witchcrafts — given a second chance by defending Queen and country. The 60 page spanning zine is well worth having a look. If you always wanted to marry OSR and d20 modern, checkout Heavenscape: Reloaded. The game provides you with a whole multiversum to explore.
Which gets us neatly to the genre of Urban Fantasy. The funding of the second edition Urban Shadows is a true juggernaut of the genre. The award laden Powered by the Apocalypse game by Magpie Games sees the players playing various supernatural types in one group. Thus, it will make a nice addition to my love for the WoD which usually focus one kind of creature. I backed it, check it out. I am somewhat tempted by SHIVER, maybe because of the fanged thumbnail. The game aimes to have you play pulp, horror or scary tv shows and movies. A neat idea that uses unique dice. Then there’s Dark Places & Demogorgons 5e. Capitalizing in the Stranger Things hype by bringing the genre to D&D. The project looks great, and if you fancy the nostalgic 80s, check it out.
If you rather play in the future, after an apocalypse and fall of society, check out The Wildsea RPG. It presents a world covered in a verdant green and with a quite aggressive nature. The illustrations are lavish and d6 system ~ inspired Belly of the Beast and Blades in the Dark among others ~ is quite interesting. I am having an eye on it, and do recommend it. The Neon Lords of the Toxic Wasteland present a more classic take on the postapocalypse. The game is B/X based, the setting has the description „ultra violent“ and the illustrations remind me of 80s/90s comic. Check it out, if that sounds like your cup of tea.
For afficiandos of gamebooks, there’s the Metal Heroes and the Fate of Rock: A Rock/Comedy Gamebook. The book is a translation of a German gamebook and comes with a soundtrack. It’s cool, I am tempted by the German version and do highly recommend it. What Dreams May Come is a more classic gamebook, that offers a surreal horror story alongside beautifully haunting illustrations. Take a look.
There are many other cool projects. Fans of the MÖRK BORG RPG might like to checkout the sourcebook Strange Citizens of the City and play through the The Masticator Gate campaign. B/X enthusiasts can check out the Lost Triptych campaign. If you like some fancy dice, take a look at the Metal Bullet Dice. Well and you can place them right into the little wings of the dragon figurines of Draconis Vitae Dice by Geek and Artsy. Though maybe you just want a Grizzly Owlbear Plush during corona?
You’ll find those and many more projects in this list:

The tiny star

 Indicates that I backed the project.
() Indicates that I would have backed the project, have I had more money.

The red dot system

The red dots in front of the flags rely on the following information:

  The project is within hours of ending
 The project is within 7 days or less of ending

The indication is based on the release date and time of the crowdfunding collection and isn’t updated.

The tiny pile

Is an emoji to flag projects I personally consider abysmal. Whether it is due to aspects of theme, structue, copyright or other reasons.

 The project is, in my opinion, bad (a piece of dung)

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.
