We've seen what the Adeptas Sororitas are getting in the new Chalnath box set for Kill Team. Now, we get a look at the T'au, who they'll be facing off against. Get a peek at their stats and special rules in this preview.

From the article:

As a T’au war fleet bears down on the Vedik system to reclaim it from Imperial hands (admittedly, hands they originally took it from in the first place) Pathfinder teams range ahead to disrupt the defenders. Led by combat veterans with many years of experience, they creep through rubble to gather information and assassinate targets with ruthless efficiency.

Now that you’ve had a good look at their upgrade sprue, which is full of new toys, you probably want to know what all of that tech does.

Having spent their entire lives studying the T’au art of warfare, Shas’ui* Pathfinders are consummate commanders, able to deftly read the flow of battle and adapt their tactics on the fly.

Gendered norms are kinda silly. I'm a dude, but I do laundry, cook, and clean because I live alone and nobody else is going to do it. But even when I wasn't living alone, I still did it because it needed to be done. But what if the gendered norm was a bit more extreme, like only women in a family are werewolves. What if you were nonbinary and in that family? How would you handle that? Find out in Women are Werewolves, a nonbinary storytelling game up on Kickstarter.

From the campaign:

Some families believe things like "men bring home the bacon" and "women are caregivers." What if you belonged to a family with its own core gendered belief: Women are werewolves? 

What if, on the full moon, your family went deep into the wilds to the Family Home so the women could transform and roam the night while the men stayed at the house?

In a family with such specific gender roles, what if you were nonbinary and neither of those expectations felt right for you?

Women are Werewolves is a card-based story game in which players take on the roles of nonbinary characters who belong to a family in which only the women transform into werewolves.

The campaign's about 3/4 of the way to its goal with 28 days left to go.

This box includes three miniatures: one Kazak Doktor with Rifle, one Dozer with Rifle, and one 112, Emergency Service Doctor. This box is a great complement to provide specialized troops to your Ariadna Force.

I'd say it's fair to say that 99% of D&D games take place only on the Material Plane. That is, until maybe your game makes it to a high level affair and you might check out one or two others. But what if you want to make alternate planes a regular thing for your games, even at low level? Then, you'll want Planebreaker, a new RPG supplement up on Kickstarter now.

From the campaign:

Path of the Planebreaker is a sourcebook for 5th edition players and GMs that presents you with the wonders, terrors, mysteries, and treasures of dozens and dozens of new alternate worlds—plus the inexplicable Planebreaker itself. It includes a bestiary of planar creatures and new planar class options for players to their campaigns, as well as new subclasses, feats, spells, and player character species options.

The campaign's more than 3x funded with 23 days left to go.

Halfway through the week. I don't actually know if the week's going by quickly, slowly, or as it should. It's just kind of... going. So, I suppose I can't really complain about that. Ah... well... day. And that leads us to this week's Midweek Snippets, which gives us a sale on dice. That'll pep you up some.
