I present to you the new Crowdfunding Collection #46, which includes every tabletop project started between 07.10 till 07.17.

This project does feature two interesting projects from Germany, and one which is actually more of a cooperation. The biggest one, available in English, is Cthulhu Wars 3, an immensely popular board game that I feel still deserves a mention. You’ll find as well a pretty impressive and beautifully illustrated collection of token cards by Johannes Voss, that might be of good use for a tabletop game.
If your interested in tabletop RPGs in foreign languages, take a look at Neciamus. Its developed by games in Aachen/Aix la Chapelle and offers a fantasy setting, placed during the times of reformation, as well as a fresh system.
Among the „English“ projects I personally favor the „parsley games“. Which looks like an intriguing mix of boardgame, „computer“ text adventure and RPG. Though Firelight comes in in as a close second and The Last Remnants appears to be quite fascinating.
You’ll find quite a bunch of other, fascinating project. Thus have a look for yourself,…

I have had a first run of the V5 Playtest a few weeks ago. During the playtest I noticed that the character backgrounds as written, even though I already made a few alterations, did offer some some challenges.

In consequence I decided to give the characters a bigger overhaul for the next playtest. I would like to share my documents and do would be happy to receive comments or remarks.

For the playtest itself, please go to white-wolf.com and download it at their blog:
V5 pre-alpha: The curtain rises!.
If you run the playtest, please give them feedback. If you did alterations, like using the characters as I changed it, please mention it as the standard assumption will be that you ran it as written.

Crowdfunding Collection #45

I present to you the new Crowdfunding Collection #45, which includes every tabletop project started between 26.Jun till 10.Jul.

Thanks to a cold I caught the collection got delayed a week, yet you will find an abundance of interesting projects.
There are 13 Role-Playing Game core books included. I personally backed into the spy game Top Secret, the action of Era: Hitman and the rebellious, Misspent Youth. Yet there are aplenty of other cool games. Whether the newest game by Mark Rein-Hagen Revolutionaries, the cool looking Ghost Ops or the modern day cinematic Graphic RPG and more.
I did got a bit inventive with the categories this time round. Thus I would like to point out that „historical“ is more a loose term for games set in the past and that the story game section has some games more focused on storytelling and collaborative fiction creation than the usual.
Yet not only are there cool new RPGs but the other projects are worth a look or two too. Like the Fidget dice and other cool dice design. Like the possibility to support ConTessa (which I did) and get a cool plushy mascot. Like „Night Forest“ that tries to enable larping in the Forest without Boffers. There’s a whole bunch of interesting various games like a „scratch“-character sheet for DCC or an audio play and more.
Plus, even though I count about 50 project, I noticed three „normal“ games that looks like they are worth a mention. Though, take a look for yourself,..

I present to you the new Crowdfunding Collection #44, which includes every tabletop project started between 20.06 till 26.06.

Within this collection you’ll find three projects from Germany that don’t require any foreign language knowledge. Two of those should be of interest for those creating dungeons whether its laying out tiles or printing buildings, the third is a poker deck that did impress me.
Next to those you’ll find a fresh role-playing take on the story „The Yellow King“, a project celebrating the 90ties and the newest gamebook by Ryan North. DSA is about to get its first English supplement and there are tons of cool adventures, dice and other project.
The list has one of the rare dutch tabletop Kickstarters, aiming to translate „No, Thank you Evil“ by Monte Cook and a fascinating french „Beer & Pretzel“ RPG.
Though,… see for yourself:

I present to you the new Crowdfunding Collection #43, which includes every tabletop project started between 12.06 till 19.06.

Thanks to the current heat-weave hitting Germany the collection is rather brief. The project picture, the creators description, that’s it.
I do would like to highlight Clink, the one game on this list I backed without any hesitation. It’s an interesting story game from the publisher of Belly of the Beast. Next to that my second favorite is the GameTek book, an interesting take on game design with a focus on statistics and math.
Yet I would as well recommend to consider Samyaza, the various adventures, dice and other, various projects,..

I present to you the new Crowdfunding Collection #42, which includes every project started between 07.06 till 12.06.

The total number of projects clocked in at cozy twelve. Of those I am most impressed by the supplement called Niobe for PFRPG and the SnapDice dice tray.

I present to you the new Crowdfunding List #41, which includes every project started between 31.05 till 07.06.

The week has seen no less than 35 role-playing game related crowdfundings being started. Offering a broad variety of projects I fondly recommend.
Among those you’ll find 8 very interesting new games. Projects that offer 80s horror like Rememorex or a new edition of Torg. Fun, colorful fantasy games like Lost Age next to a more ‚barbaric‘ approach with Beast & Barbarians. A cartoon themed PbtA game, and one of those that uses d10. With Tiny Wasteland, an interesting rules light take on the post-apocalyptic genre, and „Lost Citadel“ a post-apocalyptic game with a lot of undead creatures in it that ain’t all Zombies.
Next to those you’ll find fascinating games, walking the line between role-playing game, story game and boardgame. A very cute Gamebook for kids. Fancy dice and interesting aides. Next to really cool stuff like the Pathfinder adventure path videogame and really fascinating various other project.
On top of all of that, basically like a nice dessert, at least for WoD fans, the French translation project for the M20 comes with a brand-new, freshly illustrated and offical Tarot deck.
Take a look for yourself..

I have had the opportunity to particapte in two Playtest for the 5th Edition of Vampire: the Masquerade, one in Berlin during the World of Darkness – Berlin event and one during the annual RPC convention in Cologne.

In this article I like to share my impressions of those playtest. What I remember from the system, my thoughts on the mechanics, questions and ideas. The V5 Playtest is supposed to soon be released to the general public, thus I will try to avoid spoilers.
