I present to you the new Crowdfunding Collection #52, which includes every tabletop project started between 09.04 till 09.19.

This time around presenting more than 50 tabletop RPG related projects.
In regards of the foreign language products I consider Human Punishment of broader interest, as the social deduction game is done in German and English.
As for the tabletop RPGs, I do consider Tiny Dungeons 2e my personal highlight. The previous campaign for Mecha & Kajius went like a charm and this one looks cool as well. Someone Has Died might be on the brink of being considered a tabletop rpg, yet I am deeply fascinated by the topic as well as the sensitive approach, thus I think it deserves a mention. Fans of Monte Cook will probably already have heard of Numenera 2, as the project rockets on. Afterbomb Madness offers a „fallouty“ look and SURVIVE THIS! a call back to Stranger Things.
Forest of Fate is the game book project that caught my attention the most. The mix of choose your own adventure and board/card game is quite intriguing. In regards of Larp, I really do hope the Rocky Horror Larp finds enough support.
Among the adventures I am most tempted by In Darkness Delve, as I know the auther, as well as by Burial Plots thanks to its theme.
The Constellation Dice do still look totally rad with their newest project.
As for the various projects, I do fancy the FAERIE ENCHANTERS GRIMOIRE a lot, it does portray faeries in a fashion that I imagine changelings might look like. Well, and among the other games, there’s The Expanded Lunatic Hybrid Maze Puzzle which tickles my fancy.
There are many, many more cool projects. Take a look for yourself:

I present to you the new Crowdfunding Collection #50, which includes every tabletop project started between till 08.21 till 09.04.

Following a brief break you’ll find two new German projects. Most notably there is HeXXen 1733 from Mirko Bader, which offers a baroque setting plagues by various monstrosities in need of protection.
Next to that, I extended my search for active crowdfundings towards the Spanish crowdfunding platform Verkami. Which currently aims to finance the translation of Barbarians of Lemuria as well as Little Fears. The projects are currently without a preview pictures, because I haven’t figured how to get the picture link.
As for the English projects, I am fascinated by IDENTECOs cool Cyberpunk setting and atmosphere, which has a certain nostalgic flair. Westbound on the other hand is a card based Weird West role-playing game and Era: Belam extends the Era family with a SF game.
You’ll find many more interesting projects, supplements, dice, accessories and more, just take a look:

I present to you the new Crowdfunding Collection #50, which includes every tabletop project started between 08.09 till 08.21.

In regards of English crowdfundings, I do really love Vanagard. A story focused game, in which one assume the roles of curious, anthropomorphic animal like creatures. Second to that I took a liking to SINS, a narrative game in which one assumes the role of powerful ex-dead fighting against monstrosities on a post-apocalyptic earth.
If you fancy over the top, satiric science fiction, just take a look at Iron Skies. Yet you might as well take a look at GROGNARD, a biography of Loren Wiseman.
In regards of the German tabletop RPG projects I do like Protektor a lot. It is a fun approach to Urban Fantasy. Where players play rather regular people with strange animal companions being heroic, or well trying to be. Next to that „Rise of the Dungeon Master“ gets a German translation by Feder & Schwert.
Next to those projects you’ll find aplenty of cool map projects and other interesting pages,.. just check the collection:

I present to you the new Crowdfunding Collection #48, which includes every tabletop project started between 07.31 till 08.09.
This edition features a slightly varied design. Feedback is appreciated :)

This collection presents the Dungeon World project by System Matters. Which aims to bring a translation of the Powered by the Apocalypse game to Germany, offering a beautiful Deluxe edition. It’s a project I’ve been excited about, and jumped on it as soon as it went live. Next to this I did choose to include the pre-order project for My Little Pony: Tales of Equestria by Ulisses Spiele. I don’t often include pre-orders, but this one just been to cute to skip.

Next to those the English projects are as well fabulous. I did back Wicked Pacts as the combination of Urban Fantasy with „Mafia“ elements hits right up my ally. The second edition of Stars without Numbers is a bit out of my budget, but sure worth having a look up. I do recommend the Seco Creek Vigilance Committee RPG. A Western RPG following the story game principles, putting the characters into an interesting place. Fans of the Powered by the Apocalypse games should take a look at Sixty Mile Sky. An SF take on PbtA I gladly support.

You’ll find three game books, „choose your own adventure“ game, where the first two do quite impress and tempt me. The hybrids offer a fascinating take on role-playing games and you’ll find a extended crowdfunding for the „Warring States“ The Dark Eye supplement.
Oh, and there are a bunch of (imho) exceptional projects. Like dice coins or coins designed with very cool motives. Even a tabletop smoke machine! Yet, see for yourself:

Deciding to run the V5 PreAlpha scenario at the FeenCon convention called for a more extensive preparation of game materials.

With this article I’d like to display what I did and explain my thought process. It would usually be included in the actual play reports to come, yet I find it a bit to extensive.

I had several runs of the V5 Pre-Alpha planned for, and promised to, various groups or people.  Thus, after the first one completed, I started organizing the next one on the German tabletop RPG Forum Nerdpol. Which eventually happened on 20th of July.

This article will describe how the game went, which challenges we encountered, as well as my thoughts regarding the scenario and rules. It is the second of a series of four actual plays. I will try my best to recall the game correctly, though I didn’t took notes during the game and things might get mixed up.

I will express my comment, thoughts, thoughts of players in block quotes.
You will experience spoilers in regards of the scenario „The Last Night“. Specially if you are a player of mine, planning to play in another run.

I present to you the new Crowdfunding Collection #48, which includes every tabletop project started between 07.24 till 07.31.

Within the collection I’d like to highlight the PbtA game „Legacy“. The Kickstarter that managed to get me out of my „need for vacation money“ induced backing hiatus. Another project I really do like the the German Retro-Box for DSA (The Dark Eye), which offers the first edition rules of the game.
Next to those projects you’ll find cool adventures, interesting supplements, nice dice accessories and more. Just have a look:

Within less than a week of its release I organized a group to play the V5 PlayTest scenario „The Last Night“ on the 10th of June via Google Hangout.

The article will describe how the game went, which challenges we encountered, as well as my thoughts regarding the scenario and rules. It is the first of a series of four actual plays. I will try my best to recall the game correctly, though I would point out that it is about a month and a half in the past.

I present to you the new Crowdfunding Collection #47, which includes every tabletop project started between 07.17 till 07.24.

Following the FeenCon convention, which I attended and where I GM’ed a bunch of V5 games, I present to you the brief collection of current crowdfunding project.
One of its many highlights is „Paladin – Warriors of Charlemange“. A fresh tabletop rpg by Nocturnal Media, which will use the system provide by Pendragon for its fresh setting. Another highlight, though quite a contrast, is Xas Irkalla. A new Horror RPG in which the player characters will be transported to an alien and hostile world made from the dreams of dead psychics. Compared to Xas the world described in the Spire RPG appears somewhat brighter. Though not for the dark elves who have to fight the system of oppression in this cyberpunk setting.
There are many more interesting projects,… though have a look for yourself:
