Sandy Petersen's at it again. And this one isn't a Cthulhu game. He's running a Kicsktarter campaign for Eternal Adversary, a new board game that pits the forces of order versus chaos for rule of the universe. You can check out the game now.
You've got your books for Survive This!! Vigilante City. But you want more. You need more books! (I mean, we're gamers here, we always want more). Well, your prayers have been answered. There's a Kickstarter campaign up and running now to get you those books that you so desperately desire. They're filled with plenty of new options for your games.
Red Carnations on a Black Grave is an historical RPG that takes place in 1871 Paris. The Paris Commune looked to create a socialist state, despite not everyone agreeing with all their party points. In the game, players take on the role of two characters apiece from this time, participating in scenes as they try and convince others of their ways and perhaps sway others to their way of thought. The game is up on Kickstarter now.
Bleak Spirit is an RPG with a difference. Well, a few of them, actually. First, you can play with as few as two players, with one playing the role of the world while the other being the traveller within it. It's also expected that you'll swap out roles occasionally. Extra players make up the chorus. Also, the world it happens in is a bit darker than most. It's a bleak landscape where the ancestors of an evil empire dwell. They may not be evil themselves, anymore (not entirely, anyway), but the echoes from that time still linger. You can check out the game on Kickstarter now.
Halfway there. We're halfway there, everyone. We can make it! Just gotta get over this hurdle and it's downhill sliding towards the weekend. And here, at the crest of the mountain, we've set up a little snack station to give you a gaming energy boost.
Today on the platter we have: Puppets War 48 Hour Sale Happening Now, New Legionary APC Magma Cannon From Kromlech, and Kraken Dice Releasing Malibu Dream Tomorrow.
What if you could take an RPG and rebuild it with only the parts you like, toss out or change the parts you didn't, and come up with your own game from it? That's what they did with Dungeons & Delvers. You can check out the Red Book Kickstarter now.
The other day, I was looking through my various books, just wanting to create a character for no real reason other than to just build one. And, y'know, nothing was really catching my eye. I mean, all the classes were alright, but I just wish there were... more. That's where A Touch More Class comes in. It's a new book with 9 new classes for D&D that's up on Kickstarter now.
There's a lot of ... uh... cats in the sea? ... That saying doesn't quite work out as well that way, but still, it's what's going on in CatFish! the new storytelling party card game from Forsaken Games. Players are con artists out on a date. Over the course of three... uh, courses, they must convince their rube that they are the most trustworthy of the bunch. The game is up on Kickstarter now.
CMON's next big storytelling board game is Trudvang Legends. In this preview, we get a look at the different regions of the land and what sort of things players can expect when heading out into them. There's also a render of a huge troll mini, because those are cool.
Dized is a great app where you can look at various rules for games with cross-referencing and help with setup and all that. Paizo is happy to announce that their Pathfinder Adventure Card Game is now available on there. Make sure you're learning the game correctly.
Space. There's a lot of it. Like, a whole lot. Lots to go and explore. And that's what you'll be doing in X-ODUS: Rise of the Corruption, a new board game that's up on Kickstarter now.
So, you've found yourself with your spaceship impounded and you locked up in jail on a space station. That's no place that anybody wants to be, so you've decided to escape. Using whatever you can find, and maybe a bit of luck, you escape, find your ship, and make a hasty getaway. That's exactly what you'll be doing in Escape the Dark Sector, a new adventure game that's up on Kickstarter now.
The folks behind Cover Your Assets and Skull King are back at it. They've got a new fantasy-themed party card game of back-stabbing action (and puns, lots and lots and lots and lots and lots of puns) up on Kickstarter now. It's called Cover Your Kingdom.
I have a rather conversational tone here on TGN, as I'm sure you've noticed. When you read my posts, I would like to think you're reading them as though someone's talking to you, instead of just as text on a screen. Well, The King of Dungeons RPG writers were looking to do the exact same thing with their game. It's a more conversational, less strict, and less "reads like stereo instructions" take on the fantasy RPG genre. It's also up on Kickstarter now.
Tuesday. We've made it through the start of the week that is Monday and we're into the week proper. I'm ready for the weekend, which shouldn't be a surprise to anyone. I'm always ready for the weekend. But, I mean... who isn't? Honestly? We all are. So, let's make the work week go by quickly with some gaming podcasts to listen to while we work.
This week on the dial we have: Drive Thru FM Episode 26: Questions and Answers; Morrus' Unofficial Tabletop RPG Talk Episode 52: The Lazy Dungeon Master, Mike “SlyFlourish” Shea; Geeks of the North Episode 76: Pulp City is back!; Meeples & Miniatures Episode 269: Everything you ever wanted to know about six, but were too afraid to ask, Part II; Game Classy Podcast Episode 189: Grimace of Catan; Singled Out Episode 89: Discussing Season 4 Blacksmiths with Fraser McFetridge; Epic Gaming Night Podcast Episode 203: Origins games with Emerson!; Tabletop Talk Episode 26: M3e Path to Podium with Alyx Drake; The D6 Generation Pip Episode 21: Joan of Arc & My 15 yo Daughter; Anonymous Tabletop Episode 34: From Origins to Endgame; Rolling Dice & Taking Names Episode 173: Top 5 List, Imperial Settlers Roll & Write, Tiny Towns; and Lords of the Dungeon 28: Board Gamifying RPGs, Homebrew Settings and Campaign Settings We Want To Try.
Creating a game world from scratch can be hard. It's amazing just how many details there are to get into there for it to work. Well, for those wanting to world-build in the Tiny Supers game, Gallant Knight Games is here to help. They're running a Kickstarter for Tiny Legacies, a new guide for creating your own worlds and campaigns in the game.
No, it's not that the characters run around with no clothes on. That would be the Hentai edition. This is simply a pared-down version of Big Eyes, Small Mouth Fourth Edition. The two games are distinct from one-another. So, if you want the "full game," you go with BESM regular. If you want something that's more rules-lite, you'll go for BESM Naked.
August is not all that far away. With it will come Gen Con and some new releases from Paizo. ... *looks at the number of releases* Ok, so "some" might be an understatement. There's going to be a deluge of releases. But then, it will be the release of the new Pathfinder edition. So there's that. Have yourself a look-see.
Look, I only speak one language. I realize that many of you out there are multi-lingual and that's cool. But if it's not in English, I'm kinda out of luck when it comes to games. Thankfully, there are those out there looking to bring games to an English-speaking audience. In this case, it's Arcane Wonders bringing Smartphone Inc. to those of you out there like me.
The gaming company from Nottingham... No, the other one... the other other one... No, it's Warlord Games. They're teaming up with Mythicos Studios. This includes new offices in New York, as well as a bringing together of different game lines and expanding offerings for the tabletop.
While taking a transport into a dogfight might seem like taking a conversion van into a NASCAR race, there are definitely upsides to doing so. Namely, all the upgrades and crew you can generally put on them. In this case, we get a look at the Resistance Transport for X-Wing. It's versatile, because if you want to ditch the bottom 3/4 of the ship, you can do so and just fly around in the cockpit.
Rather Dashing Games is coming out with a new, updated version of their Dwarven Miner game. It's got updated rules based on years of feedback from those that enjoyed the original version. It's also got updated artwork from legendary artist Larry Elmore. Yes, that Larry Elmore. Have yourself a look. Dwarven Miner: Reforged is up on Kickstarter now.
Some new miniatures are available for Achtung! Cthulhu from Modiphius. They're the Unleashed version of Sing and Araine. And, I have to admit, the effect on the Singh Unleashed miniature is rather interesting. These figures can be used in your RPG games or games of the Achtung! Cthulhu minis game.
Mondo Games and Restoration Games will soon be bringing you Unmatched, a new card-driven miniatures skirmish game where players take on the role of history's and mythology's greatest fighters in a one on one grudge match to the end. They're also excited to announce that the first single-hero expansion pack will feature Bruce Lee.
Well, it's Monday again. It was inevitable. Not that Monday's all bad, mind you. Can't say it's my favorite day. But I don't hate it. I'm not Garfield. Besides, I've got new hot sauces hopefully arriving today. So, it's not all bad. We'll make it through and get back to the weekend eventually. In the meantime, though, let's make sure that when it does come time again to game, your gaming tables look good.
Today in the Terrain Corner we have: Tabletop World Previews New Stable Terrain, and New Hive City Billboard Available From Tabletop Scenics.
