If you liked One Deck Dungeon, but really kinda prefer a sci-fi theme, then Asmadi Games is here to help. They've launched a Kickstarter campaign for One Deck Galaxy. Head out into the stars and create your own civilization in this solo/co-op card game.

From the campaign:

After the successful One Deck Dungeon (and its expansions), we're taking our dice and going to SPACE! In One Deck Galaxy, you'll build up a civilization from its humble homeworld and grow to create a Federation spanning countless star systems. Like its predecessor, One Deck Galaxy is a 1-2 player cooperative game that can be expanded to a 4-player experience by combining two sets. 

If you're a Dungeon veteran, you'll recognize some familiar concepts, but the game plays quite differently. Strategic, long-term planning is now a central focus, and every die - high or low - can be useful! 

Standing between you and your cosmic destiny each game is one of several Adversaries. You'll have to split your efforts between growing your own strength and confronting them directly. Every Adversary has its own set of rules and abilities, and you'll need to come up with different clever plans to defeat each one!

The campaign's well over its funding goal with 29 days left to go.

From the campaign:

The campaign's making its way to 4x funded with 20 days left to go.

There you are, just trying to live your life, when boom, the world needs you. You'll be able to finish that TikTok later. Change into your magical form and head into battle. That's what's happening in Glitter Hearts, a new RPG now available from Japanime Games.

From the website:

Your English homework is half done, your best friend needs help finding a dress for homecoming, and your parents think you aren’t doing enough extra work to get into the best Universities. Compared to that, saving the world is a piece of cake!

Glitter Hearts is an action-packed RPG in a fun filled world of everyday people who transform into powerful super heroes that fight off the forces of evil. Your character will try to find the balance between their everyday life needs and heeding the call to save the world. You and your friends will create your own hero, your own team, and even your own special mascot. With over 150 different moves to choose from, you can build your ideal magical hero that is uniquely you!

Glitter Hearts rules are easy to learn and building your own character is a simple process of making choices that fit your vision. When building a character, you will choose:

• Your everyday identity – who you are when you aren’t your heroic alter ego.
• Your magical archetype – what type of hero are you? A warrior, witch, idol, defender, or tactician.
• Your mystical connection – which element or emotion do you draw your power from?

And then choose your actions from there until you’ve built your hero!

A new RPG is out on the market. It's Diesel and it puts players in a rough-and-tumble world of outlaws, cybernetics, dust, and just enough gas to get you to the next oasis. The system is its own, looking to create cinematic scenarios and is meant to be run in short campaigns of just a couple sessions. You can head over and pick up your copy of the game now.

About the game:

DIESEL is a game of cinematic action wrapped around an emotional core. Inspired by media like Mad Max and Firefly, DIESEL involves communally creating badass characters and a unique adventure for them to embark on. DIESEL is intended for short campaigns, running 2-5 sessions including a creation session. It has a heavy emphasis on Rule of Cool, with the innovative DIESEL Engine designed to empower players to try cool things, and give GMs the flexibility they need to craft unforgettable moments. 

 DIESEL comes with a complete setting, Edge, at the end of reality itself. People can simply step out into the region between universes. At this border, a crystal called Possibility forms that allows impossible things to happen--such as Diesels, or humans modified to run on diesel fuel. In this setting, the only real limit is imagination. 

 DIESEL is created by an exceptionally experienced team of TTRPG creators: Steven Pankotai (A Night of Fright!, Player Primer series), Joshua "HTTPaladin" Mendenhall (Incantations, Islands of Sina Una), Laura Hirsbrunner (Explorring Eberron), E.R.F. Jordan (Caster Bastards and the Great Grotesque), Matthew "aryxymaraki" Jarnak (Ilkhana's Grimoires: Beyond Necromancy), Matthew Whitby (Volo's Guide to Getting Murdered) and Cassandra MacDonald (Advanced 5e).

Keywords. They can really help speed up the pace of a game by giving a couple words to describe a bigger concept on a model's stat block. In Deadzone 3rd Edition, Mantic looked over at all the keywords available and went, "... we can cut this down some." Get a look at how in this preview.

From the preview:

Onto today’s blog and, we admit, it may not sound the most exciting but we felt it was an essential change to make sure Third Edition was as streamlined as possible. So pay attention you people sitting at the back!

Firstly, let’s talk about repetition. In Second Edition some words were used multiple times but had slightly different uses, e.g. the Fight stat and the Fight action. To make sure there’s no confusion in Third, we’ve amended some of the terminology to make sure there’s less repetition when it comes to key phrases, e.g. a Fight action is now an Assault action, while a Move action is now an Advance action. Simple enough but it just makes it clearer in the rules when we’re talking about a specific element.

The Kruleboyz are the new sub-faction for the Orruk Warclans on the block in Age of Sigmar. And as players are starting to get to know them, Games Workshop will be releasing new kits for them. In this article, we get a look at some of the special rules the greenskins get to make sure that they're the ones victorious at the end of the fight.

From the article:

Over the next few weeks, reinforcements are on the way for the new orruk warclans subfaction. While many armies revel in bright colours and clean, crisp uniforms, the Kruleboyz are champions of sludge and filth. They’re delightfully dirty in both the way they look as well as the way they fight, and these units and rules will let you embrace the swampy vibe to build the most revolting army in the Mortal Realms.
