As everybody knows, Hand Cannon Online is one of my favorite non-here tutorial sites. They're trying to raise some money to produce some WarmaHordes/HCO-themed shirts. Check them out here. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/handcannon/hand-cannon-swag-shirts-for-war-gamers

Ad Astra games is running a Kickstarter for their Squadron STrike 3d spaceship combat rules within the Traveller universe. Right now the KS is only for the rules, but a future stretch goal is supposed to add minis. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1386934735/squadron-strike-traveller/description

If you like fantasy females in sado-masochistic gear, carrying implements of torture, then this is the miniatures project for you. It's adult themed so those of you with a delicate constitution stay away. Darsc Zacal, Cash Wiley...I'm looking at you https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/dungeon-sisters-miniatures/x/1540236#/story

The latest Kickstarter for Dragon Forge is now live, its to extend the Goth-Tech base range for both round lip and bevelled edge bases Ive backed his last couple of Kickstarters with no problems and have purchased bases from the webstore, the resin and casts are top quality The Kickstarter has been funded and unlocked the first stretch goal and not far of the next one!

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/4572344/spinal-column-miniatures?ref=category_newest About this project Today we want to bring you the first models from the New World Earth range: The Wasteland Abominations. We have already sculpted, printed, molded, and recast the Unstable Abomination. The quality of this model is incredible, it's packed with details that are sure to delight any collector. Wasteland Abominations Caught in a nuclear and chemical fallout, the Wasteland Abominations not only survived, but thrived. These once-human creatures have become twisted monsters, and seek revenge upon the inhabitants of Mega Structure for abandoning them to a fate far worse than death. Go to war controlling the brute strength, and mutated minds of the wastelands. The Wasteland Abominations are chaotic in nature. These twisted mutants are the resemblance of the once human, deformities existing as a result of existing in the radiated wastelands of America. UNSTABLE ABOMINATION Suffering from the instability of mutation the Unstable Abomination is an engine of destruction on the battlefield. Towering over his enemies, the Abominations can reach the height of twelve feet, and have weighed in at over fourteen hundred pounds. To encounter this beast in combat is pure terror, and the thought of killing him is simply insanity. Since every Abomination suffers from instability, there’s no telling when a mutant might grow unstable, muscles tearing and growing, doubling instantly. Bones snap, twist, mend, and regrow within seconds as the creature is reborn. The mind of the creature is destroyed by the transmutation of its body, and all intelligence flees the beast that now ravages the battlefield. Unpainted vs. Painted Model The Unstable Abomination next to a Games Workshop Space Marine THE BRAIN Born a bastard, the Brain was a weak, dying infant, discarded by his mother. Adopted and raised by the Banshee, a wailing lunatic, the Brain developed an oversized cranium. Soon, he found that he had the mental ability to devastate others with a simple thought. His brain grew. He could control others with simpler minds on a whim. His cranium swelled. Causing lightning to arch and strike or fires to erupt with a mere desire was not beyond his grasp. His skull shattered, and his massive brain spilled forth. THE BRUTES Brute 1 The backbone of the Wasteland army, the Brutes are larger deformed warriors sometimes brandishing small hand weapons like rusty pistols, chains, or pipes. The Brute stands several feet taller than an average human, and possess incredible strength and durability. Brute 2 AND FINALLY... This is the first army we are working towards getting completely fleshed out for the upcoming game New World Earth. The game is a living card game combined with a table top miniature game. Models have unique skills and abilities, as well as the ability to cast rare action cards to help defeat their enemies. Getting this starter army produced is just the first step in getting the game completed. All funds will go towards getting the army recast, and into your hands, as well as additional work done on the game. We plan to bring you along for the journey! Traverse the wastelands, and remember it’s against the law to feed the Abominations! Thanks for looking and please back us today!

Second kickstarter after successful first one: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/191582083/harwood-hobbies-presents-28mm-cultist-miniatures

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/rolljordan3/rolljordan-tengu-goblin-ogre-fantasy-football-team?ref=category_newest About this project TENGU Goblins and Ogre Teams Rolljordan Miniatures is pleased to release the coolest japanese-themed Ogre and Goblin teams in the market.

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/89095698/aethera-campaign-setting About this project In the Aethera Campaign Setting, you'll soar to asteroid outposts and ancient high-tech ruins on a ship powered by crystallized magic, journey to worlds populated by intelligent plant bio-engineers, musically prophetic technocrats, human-souled robotic war veterans, and alien shamans, all suddenly threatened by interstellar raiders. Aethera is a Pathfinder RPG compatible science -fantasy setting. The Aethera Campaign Setting brings space opera to the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game. You'll be able to experience the unique biomes of six totally new alien worlds, each with their own highly detailed histories, cultures, conflicts, and threats. Aethera is being designed with a distinct 1920s-1930s retro-futuristic art style, tempered by the presence of magic. Its diesel-punk meets magical technology, meets elements of traditional fantasy. You'll have paladins, sorcerers, and wizards working as a team to explore asteroid dungeons where they'll encounter lost technology from before the collapse of stellar civilization. Or maybe you'd like to explore the tense post-war political environment of the human mega-city arcologies on the barren world of Akasaat, where you'll stalk the shadows of mile-high cities uncovering a vast conspiracy surrounding an ancient prophetic song broadcast by one of the Aethera system's dying stars. In the Aethera Campaign Setting you can battle kytons that live in the shadowy spaces-between-spaces, live in terror of raids by the enigmatic taur: spacefaring minotaur in planetoid-sized maze ships, survive in the lightless realm of the Darkwild deep below the canopy of the forest world of Kir-Sharaat, brave the icy tundra of the dust-shrouded world of Orbis-Aurea and unearth mysteries of the long-lost Progenitors, or race into the heart of the Amrita Asteroid Belt to run a smuggling operation with the other scoundrels and rabble rousers living beyond the reach of the Hierarchy! There's so much to see and experience in the Aethera Campaign Setting that we have to create a whopping 400-page hardcover in order to contain it all! The Aethera Campaign Setting will include the following content: Chapter 1: Races 14 pages of content for Aethera's core races; human, erahthi (plant-like creatures), phalanx (bio-mechanical constructs), okanta (giant-blooded), and the infused (victims of magical experimentation with latent telekinetic powers) as well as information on how other races fit into the Aethera Campaign Setting. Chapter 2: Classes 100 pages of content! We introduce the cantor, a divine spellcasting bard-like class. We also discuss how the core, base, hybrid, and occult classes fit into the setting. Then we provide you with 4 pages of new archetypes for the cantor, and 65 pages of new archetypes for nearly every existing class! Chapter 3: Cosmology 128 pages of setting lore about the six worlds of the Aethera Campaign Setting, from its twin stars Ashra and Aethera, to the human homeworld of Akasaat, the forest world of Kir-Sharaat, the lawless Amrita Asteroid Belt, the ruin-shrouded gas giant Seraos, the frozen wastes of Orbis Aurea, and a detailed look at Aethera's outer planes. Chapter 4: Feats & Skills 32 pages of new skill unlocks that enhance the new aethership combat rules and other unique aspects of the Aethera Campaign Setting. 15 pages of feats bring new ideas and concepts to the table, like growing plant symbiotes or crafting automata prosthetics! Chapter 5: Gear & Magic 76 pages of new mundane and magic items, a new classification of item called aethertech (technology fueled by crystallized magic), aetherships (magic-technology hybrid starships) and the rules for aethership combat in space and in-atmosphere, artifacts, and new spells including the warping subschool of transmutation! Chapter 6: Bestiary 45 pages of the most unusual, horrific, and fascinating monsters that inhabit the Aethera Campaign Setting. From the cannibal taur, to the psychic flesh-warping Azaka, to the terrifying kytons of the Machine Choir, and much, much more! The Aethera Campaign Setting is being designed by industry professionals with a standard you've come to expect from top-of-the-line publishers. Take a look at some samples of the art and layout quality you can expect to see in the Aethera Campaign Setting!

Hi everyone! I just started a second Trash Bash Bits campaign on Kickstarter. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/847163926/trash-bash-bits-part-two Trash Bash Bits were created to make the crafting of wargame buildings faster and more fun by eliminating the need to scratchbuild doors and windows to add to projects. The first Trash Bash Bits Kickstarter campaign was very successful and helped to create five designs of science fiction doors and windows. Trash Bash Bits 2 will add to this collection with five new designs! The castings of the first TBB campaign were enthusiastically praised by backers for being sharp and clean. The detail on the final castings actually looks sharper than on the prototypes! Plus they are lightweight and have flat backs so you can glue them easily to plastic, foamcore, styrofoam, or any other common modeling material. Don't throw away your time. Use Trash Bash Bits!

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/megacongames/the-banner-saga-warbands/description The Banner Saga: Warbands is a fully cooperative game for 2-4 players. Players take up the role of the leaders in a warband tasked with keeping the warband together and alive.

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/cadenceselect/danddandd-the-tabletop-fantasy-art-of-tom-fowler D&D&D: THE TABLETOP FANTASY ART OF TOM FOWLER will be high quality, professionally designed 9â€x9†hard cover art book with at least 100 pages of D&D&D entries. Each entry has been rescanned at a high resolution and colour corrected to capture as much of the quality of the original drawings as possible and present them to you as though you were right there at the table with me. We're offering this book to Kickstarter backers at an exclusive rate of $15 per book. When published D&D&D will retail for a minimum of $20! NICE THINGS PEOPLE HAVE SAID ABOUT D&D&D (and me!): “Tom Fowler’s incredible monster illustrations leap from his tabletop gaming campaigns and directly into your imagination. In a genre built from cribbed-together elements of time-worn fantasy and mythology, Tom’s creatures stand apart as truly original and endlessly inspiring.†-- Erik Mona, Publisher, Paizo Inc. “Tom Fowler’s art evokes powerful memories of the weird and wonderful fantasy stories of my youth; the kind of earthy sword & sorcery worlds we’d build around the gaming table filled to the brim with wondrous places, dangerous beasts, and questionable morals.†– Jim Zub (Conan Red Sonja, Legends of Baldur’s Gate) “If I were a big-time producer, I would run to Tom Fowler's door like my elf was on fire, to beg him to design my movie. The rest of us will just have to go to [D&D&D] and slobber like starving dogs.†-- Clint McElroy (Merle Highchurch of THE ADVENTURE ZONE) “Tom’s imagination and creativity on his D&D&D work is so good I’m mad at him whenever he draws things that aren’t D&D&D.†-- Skottie Young (I HATE FAIRYLAND, FORTUNATELY, THE MILK) “This book let's all the beautiful monsters out of Tom Fowler's head. How lucky for us.†-- Gerry Duggan (DEADPOOL, NERD POKER) "Monsters. They're at the heart of fantasy, at the heart of the RPG. We've been exposed to them so many times, it's easy to become familiar, to forget their alien flesh of wonder. Let Tom remind you." -- Kieron Gillen (The Wicked + the Divine, Phonogram, Star Wars: Darth Vader) "Tom is one of the best illustrators of his generation, not hyperbole, just fact. With influences clear from fantasy master Frazetta, to lush monsters like Ploog, to stunning brush work like Jack Davis all I've ever wanted from him is a book of D&D monsters and fun, and now the planets have aligned to give mankind that which is deserves from his mighty wrist. Buy anything with the man's name on it." --Rick Remender (BLACK SCIENCE, TOKYO GHOST) A BRIEF HISTORY OF D&D&D A number of years ago I found I’d started to hate to draw. I’d been doing it professionally at that point probably for 10-15 years and before that since I could remember. Suffice it to say that when the thing you do that you feel defines you, the thing that comforted you when you were bullied or when girls wouldn’t talk to you, when that thing becomes the bully in your life... well, it’s not great. I got very low for a long time. Eventually my wife suggested (largely in an attempt to get me out of the house) that I join a group of our friends who played D&D every week. So off I marched with a note book, dice, and a bottle of wine and spent the next few weeks mashing orcs into a fine paste on graph paper. I noticed something almost immediately. In the margins of my notebook I’d started doodling. With every game those doodles got more and more elaborate until, ultimately, they started to spill out of the margins. What’s more, I felt no pressure; I was having fun. I was having fun drawing for the first time in years. In the following weeks I substituted my lined, yellow legal pads for the empty last pages of various old, abandoned sketchbooks. When I’d exhausted them new sketchbooks were consumed. What I eventually realized was that, in taking myself out of my office, out of my home, away from my work, I’d started carving out the time and space to draw for me. Just like I had when I was a kid. There were no clients, no notes, no expectations, just the giddy excitement of spilling out what was inside my head onto the page without any plan or forward thought of what it might be. The revelation was enormous to me. I started bringing this new-found excitement back to my professional work. I started to love it again. By this time I’d started the blog. Because I wanted to share that feeling with others. I wanted to share the idea that you could come back, that you could lose it and find it again, and that all it took was pushing a pencil (or a pen, or a brush...) around on a piece of paper and not caring particularly where it took you. ... and also that monsters probably don’t wear pants.

Our game group is backing this one, and I think it looks really awesome. Not a whole lot in the way of minis, but it does look like a really clever game! https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1926712971/the-7th-continent-explore-survive-you-are-the-hero There's a ton of pictures and multiple videos on the project page.

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/53020943/dan-arielys-irrational-card-game Dan Ariely is a well known author and research in behavioral economics (psychology/economics/social sciences). His bestseller Irrationally Rational is fantastic. He's created a card game revolving around trivia for social science research. Some of the proceeds will go toward funding more research. I'm not sure how replayable the game will be, but I'm certainly getting a copy (maybe several) for my classes. It's a little niche- but it combines my job (research/teaching psychology) and my gaming hobbies. Unfortunately there's not a line of miniatures representing famous researchers, but we could all gang up and pester him for some!

Live and already very well-funded. Has a Kenneth Hite project called "The Fall of Delta Green" using Gumshoe tucked away inside it. I confess I found this project's pledge levels as confusing as the Chaosium CoC 7th edition pledge levels. Too much text tries my patience, man. 11 days to go: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/arcdream/delta-green-the-role-playing-game?ref=nav_search I post this here although I am not sure about backing myself, partly because I have older editions of this material and I am not sure what has changed. EDIT: I just realized this is a stand alone RPG, rather than the older, CoC supplement. EDIT EDIT: They state this in the FAQ, which I repeat here in case anyone can explain it to me: "Delta Green: The Role-Playing Game is based on the percentile system used in games such as Call of Cthulhu and RuneQuest. We started with the RuneQuest system and the Sanity system that are covered by the Open Gaming License and customized them heavily to fit Delta Green." I was not aware that any material from RuneQuest or CoC were OGL. Adam Scott Glancy is a major contributor but has yet to fulfill his "Horrors of War" Kickstarter project, and has been asked about his divided duties on the comments for the latter project. He seems to be dealing with it though. Just behind.

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1402889231/sword-and-sorcery-epic-fantasy-co-op-board-and-min?ref=category_newest About this project Evil is on the move again. After centuries of bloodshed and war, the last heroes fell to the growing tide of monstrosities, their memory fading away like sand in a gale. The land of Talon Coast is helpless, as the armies of darkness surge forward, threatening to extinguish the very light of the sun. But there is one last bastion of hope, one final attempt at abating the flood of corruption: Claudius, High Priest of the Temple of Heavenshine, sacrifices the holiest relic of the land to summon the fallen heroes back to life! Weakened by their own resurrection, yet determined to return hope and justice to the land of Talon, the reborn heroes will wage war against this scheming evil in its many hideous forms. Sword & Sorcery is a fully cooperative fantasy board game, designed by Gremlin Project (Galaxy Defenders) and manufactured and distributed by Ares Games (Wings of Glory, Sails of Glory, War of the Ring). We are joining forces to create the next evolution in team-based fantasy gaming: rich gameplay, unique A.I system, and excellent quality physical components, to bring you countless hours of high adventures and heroic quests. Preview of the Sword & Sorcery prototype during the Essen Game Fair In Sword & Sorcery, one to five players control heroes with unique powers. The heroes will fight together against the forces of evil - controlled by the game system itself - to save the kingdom and break the spell that binds their souls. In Sword & Sorcery, the players become heroes who must explore dangerous ruins, ominous forests, and besieged cities. Their skills and abilities are the last, best hope of Talon’s Coast. <<GIf deleted>> These heroes are not your run-of-the-mill adventurers - they are legendary characters, brought back to life by powerful sorcery. Weakened by the resurrection, they grow stronger during the story-driven quests. By acquiring soul points, players regenerate the heroes' souls, returning them to their legendary status - with multiple powers, magic and soul weapons, and powerful artifacts. Sword & Sorcery's game system represents the perfect evolution of the mechanics first used in Galaxy Defenders. From its forerunner, Sword & Sorcery inherits key features such as advanced AI for monsters, a high degree of character customization, and multiple tactical options during battles. At the same time, gameplay in Sword & Sorcery is fast and dynamic, thanks to an innovative area movement and area control system, and includes new features never seen before in a game of this category. If the close encounter with our dwarf cleric Thorgar was not enough to persuade you... Keep on reading! :-) Here are a few more reasons to back our project: Ultra Detailed 32mm Scale Figures, sculpted by Studio Gutierrez, well known by miniature lovers as sculptors of the Infinity Miniature Game. You can have a sneak peek at many of the models we developed on SketchFab. Solo Play. A single player controlling two or more heroes can play the entire campaign. High Character Customization. 10 classes, 7 Soul Ranks (levels) per hero, 50 different hero powers, over 100 items including weapons, magic artifacts, and soul weapons! Sophisticated Combat and Magic System. A detailed combat system based on two types of custom 10-sided dice and an intuitive cooldown management of spells and skills grant spectacular fights. No numbers or tables to check, just icons and quick strategic decisions! No Player Elimination. When a hero dies, he becomes a ghost soul, an ethereal form able to use its unique ghost shout against enemies, and then he can resurrect spending Soul points at the gods' altar. No Game Master required. An innovative A.I. system allows control and management of enemies by the players, giving them intelligent behaviour and creating interesting battles every time. Modular Boards. Each map tile is double sided and created to be interconnected with any other tile, allowing the creation of endless new quests. Story-Driven Campaign. A story of intrigue and conflict awaits the heroes… Loot, treasures and traps are just the beginning! 90 Minutes Experience. Quests are designed to be completed in about 90 minutes or less. Extended Replay Value. Each hero has two different classes to choose from. In addition, quests can be customized by swapping enemies, thanks to the challenge level system, and thanks to the randomly acquired powers, enemies represent a new, unpredictable challenge in every encounter. There are only two pledge levels: "Legendary Hero", for individuals, and "Emporium", for retailers. You must provide identification as a retailer to be qualified for the Emporium pledge level. Sword & Sorcery is offered to all our backers in a Kickstarter Exclusive Edition, including: all contents of the Retail Edition PLUS a wide range of unique Kickstarter content PLUS all unlocked Stretch Goals. The retail edition of Sword & Sorcery is stuffed with content... and if that's not enough, your Kickstarter Edition includes extra content, designed to enhance your gaming experience and make your copy of Sword & Sorcery a special limited edition item.

Now let's see if the changes make this worth it :) It looks like there is a "minis only" pledge level.

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/545820095/savage-worlds-rippers-resurrected-rpg I was a big fan of the Rippers Plot Point Campaign Setting, and am very excited to see it return!

The ring measurements are 16 gauge thick & the inner diameter is 5/16". Each small bag can hold approximately 35 dice. The drawstrings are paracord; the stopper & end caps are plastic. All will be available in different colors. Here is a link to view dice bags from our Facebook page:https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.597249083639680.1073741829.585428848155037&type=3 35 count - 50 count - 100 Count Colors You will get the option of choosing different colors for the rubber & aluminum rings, end caps, & stopper.

Be sure to check out our facebook page for ideas. https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.597249083639680.1073741829.585428848155037&type=3 Break down of the different size bag layers GOAL The goal is to get a website up & running to sell on a continual bases. We're really leaning toward using Squarespace. Plus another purpose for launching this, is to be able to make a dice bag of every color combo (132 color combos), so we can display them on the site.

Campaign link : https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/sodapopminiatures/super-dungeon-explore-legends It looks like Soda Pop and Ninja Division will be bringing us more chibi RPG goodness in October. I'll post a link to the Kickstarter as soon as it's live. I wasn't sure if it was ok to link to the updates on the SodaPop page, so I'll do my best to copy the info below. If one of the mods oks me linking to the posts, I'll do that too. What we know so far: The Kickstarter will feature three brand new products in a single pledge: Super Dungeon Explore: 2nd Edition, The Midnight Tower level expansion, and Super Dungeon Legends boxed set. Super Dungeon Explore: 2nd Edition, brings players the rules from the Forgotten King expansion, in an all new affordable boxset. The ruleset has been updated to include all of the errata and clarifications from the last year of player feedback, and will continue to be fully playable with all existing cards. Super Dungeon Explore: 2nd Edition, features new sculpts of the nine classic Heroes, all new kobolds, drakes, Rex the kobold ogre, and Starfire the Ruby Dragon. The classic Dragonback Peaks tiles have been updated and reimagined, featuring all new art, to bring them in line with other 2nd Edition tilesets from Forgotten King, Von Drakk Ghost House, and Dungeons of Crystalia. To further increase replayability, all monsters come with multiple profiles. Battle shadow kobolds from the depths of the Nether Rifts, elemental drakes from the Fire Flows, a mighty armored kobold ogre, among others! The Midnight Tower level expansion reveals the dreaded armies of The Midnight Queen. Armies of baroque-armored Nether Elves issue forth from the corrupted Tower of the Goddess. Within their ranks, cursed Spider Speakers summon scuttling hordes of spiders, spinning webs of shadow and poisoning their foes. Alongside them march powerful Knights of the Tower on spectral steeds, while Tower Stalkers lurk in the shadows weakening the mightiest Heroes, before their fellows strike the final blow. Three new Heroes take up the call to adventure: the rugged Hearthsworn Tincan, sneaky Cat Burglar, and brutal Riftling Warrior. More on Midnight Tower: (from update 2) In your games of Super Dungeon, the nether elves are a cohesive fighting force which use stealth to augment their attacks and force Heroes to close in to engage. All nether elves possess the signature ability Dread, which augments their offensive capabilities when they are benefitting from Stealth. Unsurprisingly, several key nether elf models, including their spawning point, possess the ability to generate auras of Stealth. The Midnight Tower includes two spawning points of nether elves, each consisting of a Tower Stalker which can teleport into other models’ shadows and deliver debilitating status effects, Tower Arbalists whose bolts chill the very soul, and Tower Blackblades whose martial discipline ensures their fellow Nether Elves are always in the proper position. Some elves developed the gift to communicate with the demonic spiders which lurked in the Dark Realm. These Spider Speakers spawn swarms of poisonous spiders into battle alongside the nether elves. Key among the abilities of the spiders is the capability to weave webs which create difficult terrain hazards, allowing the Consul to control the dungeon in an all new and dynamic way. The sneaky Shadow Spinners can even weave webs of pure shadow, granting stealth and perfectly synergizing with their nether elf allies. Should the Heroes make it through these devilish minions they must face The Midnight Queen. A cunning illusionist and powerful mage, The Midnight Queen is a powerful foe in her own right. Yet, Heroes never face The Midnight Queen alone, for she is protected by a magical guardian, Daemonus, who attacks any who come near and defends her with its life. Of course no Level Box is complete without three mighty Heroes. The Midnight Tower introduces the Hearthsworn Tincan, Riftling Warrior, and Cat Burglar. The Tincan is melee fighter focusing on crowd control. Able to gain the ability Grabby, the Tincan can pull foes in close and prevent them from moving away. Whereas the Tincan focuses on defense and board control, the Riftling Warrior is all about damage. With a powerful charge action which grants extra movement after a Lance action, and the ability to generate blue dice (and thus Hearts) on a never before seen scale, the Riftling Warrior punishes any who stand in his way. The Cat Burglar specializes in fast movement and treasure acquisition. Be careful though, when she gets cornered she can throw a flurry of daggers which poison anyone they strike! The Midnight Tower is only the beginning of our journey in the Nether Rifts. It provides a first glimpse at the true might of the Dark Consul, and establishes a rich source of monsters for your games of Super Dungeon Explore and a wonderful realm of adventure and storytelling for your games of Legends. With your help we plan to reveal many additional horrors spawned from the Dark Realms. New warbands!: (from update 3) The Super Dungeon Legends Kickstarter is aimed at both new players and veterans alike. Our Explorer Pledge introduces Super Dungeon Explore: 2nd Edition along with The Midnight Tower and Super Dungeon Legends. For veterans who don’t want to pick up 2nd Edition, we have the Dark Consul Pledge which swaps out 2nd Edition for two brand new warbands—Frostbyte Ravagers and Crown Guard. For a long time we avoided bringing the classic fantasy race of orcs to Super Dungeon. While we’ve alway loved the historical place orcs have in fantasy, we really wanted to first establish Crystalia without them, to prevent them from becoming the “default†monster race for the game. But we always knew that we would want to visit this brutish race eventually, and Legends presents a fine opportunity. Orcs are shock troops of the Dark Consul; hardy, brutish, and only crudely intelligent. They’re also a mystery. The orcs in the Dark Realm have a culture that’s way too sophisticated for how simple they are. They believe their gods reward valorous and brave deeds and that these gods selected the hereditary chieftains to lead the various tribes to glory in battle. The chiefs pledge service to various demon lords, whom they say are the gods’ children, but none of their skalds’ songs connect the demons and the gods. The orcs living in the Frostbyte Reach are smarter, less aggressive (though they’re still really aggressive), but keep most of the culture. They claim that their race was lured to the Dark Realm by the demons, who clouded their minds, changed their legends, and corrupted their beliefs to enslave the orcs. No one knows the truth, of course, but stranger things have happened. The Frostbyte Ravager Warband includes two spawning points of brutal, offense oriented orcs, the berserker Rage Fiend mini-boss who drives the orcs into a further frenzy of violence, and the human Lightning Mage whose crackling blasts of electricity arc from foe to foe. The Crown Guard warband is unique among other “monsters†that we have released in that it is ostensibly a good warband. The Legends presents a vast number of opportunities for adventure, and there are few adventuring parties in any story which have not had an unfortunate run-in with the local authorities. The Crown Guard Warband presents many gaming opportunities, beyond a simple altercation with authority. They can represent corrupted humans who have joined the cause of the Dark Consul. Or, in a more sinister turn, they can be the adversaries of a party of Dark Heroes rampaging their way through Crystalia upon a quest for power. The Crown Guard warband includes two spawning points of disciplined defenders of order, a mighty mounted Royal Knight mini-boss who charges across the dungeon, and a Crook-Eye Tracker orc Hero who marks his target before bringing them down with a deadly crossbow bolt. Of course, we recognize that there are many true completionists out there who will want both the warbands and 2nd Edition. So we will have a third, Legendary pledge, to sate your ravenous chibi hunger! Overall, I'm really excited! Orcs, fighters, dark elves, and more is on it's way. So far the renders for the Tin Can, Lightning Mage, Cat Burglar, and resculpted Barbarian have been previewed. Concepts for the Orcs and Royal Guards have also been shown. Unfortunately I'll need to wait until I get home to try to link to pictures.

http://kck.st/1EXYart About this project Dicenstein is a great new dice game in which you are a mad doctor, collecting and stitching together body parts to build monsters. But the body parts aren't just condemned criminals or disease victims - you are after the best! You are digging up the world's most infamous monsters, and piecing them together for your Ultimate Creation!! You'll send your monster forth to battle your rival's monsters and fight for the best body parts, meanwhile building your Monster Army to terrorize the countryside. May the best (or worst) monster win! Dicenstein's rules are simple and straightforward, letting you get right to the monster-making and battling (which is why you're here, no?) It usually takes less than an hour to play. The game is being produced by Petersen Games, publishers of Cthulhu Wars, Theomachy, and Orcs Must Die! - the board game. That's a lot of this for this price...

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/536771983/samurai-warriors?ref=category_newest About this project Do you want a unique looking collection of miniatures? Then look no further than the Samurai of Japan! Each Samurai customised his suit of armour giving it a theme and significance to himself, sometimes an expression of his artistic taste or that of the artisan armourer. They did this to make themselves appear stronger or more intimidating to other Warriors and always to announce their personal presence to everyone on the field, including talent spotting Daimyo! if they could afford it then they may have worn a Kawari Kabuto which often were unusual shapes, or sporting horns or other wierd features. Samurai also wore many types of banner on their backs called Sashimono these could have the clan Mon or logo on them, or be personal designs coming in all different shapes in order to get them recognised. Samurai armour also came in many varying shades of Red, Black, Brown, or even Gold, Silver or Copper, resulting in a riot of colour! These miniatures. Are highly researched, meticulously sculpted and cast by a top quality casting firm to give you great pleasure in building a collection from a fascinating period of history. Also added to this you too can customise your sets just like the Samurai themselves, because the miniatures mostly come with separate heads weapons and sashimono to allow you to make your own compositions! And give your clan a unique look to your taste and interpretation. Following on from the recently successful Samurai Lords Kickstarter, you now have the opportunity to add to your collection with a choice of all new packs! The campaign photo features miniatures already available from steelfist miniatures the miniatures can also bee selected when you pledge, but they are shown to show you what your miniatures could look like painted up! Also because I could not show any of the new ones painted as they have not yet been moulded. The packs on offer in this campaign focus on troop types rather than Daimyo, thus giving you miniatures for your Daimyo to command! Or make vignettes with. The main focus of the miniatures in this campaign are mounted Samurai, and Teppo Ashigaru, as these are core types. This does not mean though that other types will be overlooked in the future. If the campaign is successful I hope to add many more packs and Daimyo with future campaigns. Also as the campaign runs I'm working on some more packs that will be added to the campaign if compleated on time as stretch goals, if these goals are also achieved you can add these packs to your choice. For those who have never seen my miniatures before the steel fist miniatures samurai are intended to showcase the spectacular armour of Japan, many of the armours features are accurately rendered from surviving armour! If I only have one piece of armour to work with, say a helmet then I make a plausible composition of parts to complete the suit All the miniatures I make that are not copies from full existing suits are still highly possible to have been seen on a sengoku era battlefield. On to the packs! Please note that what the miniatures are made from is very hard to photo well, but as you can see from the main photo to the detail of steel fist miniature is of very sharp high quality. First of all, if you select any of the pledges you will receive this free bonus miniature! This miniature is only available during this campaign and will not be released after. His armour is designed to look like a warrior monk! Kickstarter exclusive bonus miniature. This is a photo of the real helmet from the Warrior Monk Samurai to show you this armour really exsisted! Elite mounted Samurai. These can be used as Hatamoto or Daimyo, wearing themed armour one in a Namban or European style armour he comes with two heads to choose from. The other wears a nio dou made to look likes bare chested wildman or bandit, he comes with a unique Sashimono. Elite mounted Samurai. Sashimono and an extra head are also included. Mounted Samurai 1. These are wearing common styles or armour so you can make common samurai or elite depending on the helmets you use, the colour choice and the sashimono style. The come with weapons, heads and sashimono. Mounted samurai 1 again weapons and Sashimono not attached but will be included in the set Mounted samurai 2. More samurai in common armour, the same principles apply to these as the above set. Mounted Samurai 2 again weapons and sashimono are included. Teppo Ashigaru firing line. These troops would provide a large portion of most Daimyo Armies. These troops come with heads sashimono and weapons. Teppo Ashigaru sculpts Teppo Ashigaru prone. This was one of the three positions Teppo Ashigaru were trained to fire from. Prone Teppo. There are four in this pack but the last one is not yet finish so this pic will be updated soon. Also more pictures of extra heads Sashimono and new helmet crests will added as the campaign goes on. Stretch goals will be added if the sets are completed before the campaign ends!

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/326219119/mapcloth-custom-waterproof-printing-for-all About this project MapCloth: Custom Waterproof Printing for All Welcome to WanderDen I created WanderDen Labs based on one simple idea: I believe science can bring imagination to life. In the modern world, "scientific" so often means mass-produced, while "handcrafted" often means primitive. WanderDen imagines a different world, a world combining the authenticity of traditional techniques with the abilities of modern science. I like to think of it as handcrafted science. This idea is the at the heart of everything WanderDen does. Each and every design is exhaustively researched and studied, and every item is handmade from start to finish in-house. This launch is only the first of many inventions that I can't wait to bring to market. Your support will not only be funding current production, but will go toward the development of future marvels as well. If you want a sneak peak into future products, if you want some really great rewards, and if you believe that science and imagination belong together, then please show your support for WanderDen's first invention: MapCloth.MapCloth: What Is It? MapCloth is more than just a map, it's a process to print any detailed, black and white image onto material that is waterproof, durable, and beautifully textured. Best of all, it’s a fully custom process. MapCloth is made individually, not mass-produced. That means just about any design or application you can imagine is possible. If you’re a backpacker, you can choose the size and scale of your map and know it’s going to hold up under the toughest conditions. If you have a favorite fantasy series or game, you can have the perfect prop customized to your character, or a fantasy map straight from your favorite story, even from your own sketchbook! Like to cook? Now you can have a spill-proof recipe. Have kids? Now you can have a treasure map based off your own backyard. Here are just a few more possibilities: pirate map letters and invitations favorite poem famous quote antique book page science and anatomy prints treasure hunt clues javascript guide family tree and so much more! What are the Different Types?To better serve the great variety of applications, I've developed several blends, each with its own strength. All remain waterproof and very durable, but each has a different focus. MapCloth Classic is the original design. It is a balance between Studio and Trek. Its unique and beautiful texture resembles an aged scroll or animal hide. Suggested uses: Props, fantasy maps, casual trail maps, treasure hunts, letters and notes. MapCloth Classic MapCloth Studio is focused on look and feel. It comes in a variety of colors and is best for display or preserving things that will be used primarily indoors. Suggested uses: recipes, letters, invitations, decoration. MapCloth Studio MapCloth Trek is focused entirely on utility. It is slightly thinner and lighter. It doesn't have the same developed texture as the others and feels much more like fabric than leather or animal hide. However, it is EXTREMELY durable. Hot, cold, wet, dry and the roughest of treatments. Suggested uses: trail and topo maps for intense backpackers, survival guides or emergency info for adventure trips. MapCloth Trek I'm not kidding when I say MapCloth Trek is tough. Take a look at this demo video: Rewards This is the part you've been waiting for. What exactly am I offering?

Here's the process, from purchase to delivery, for your very own custom MapCloth. Step 1: You select your reward and pledge level. If it's custom, you can start thinking about what image and/or text you would like printed on it. Step 2: After fundraising ends, all backers will immediately be contacted with a survey. You will select your chosen material, and if you have a custom order, attach the file you would like printed. Step 3: I review your survey and print the file onto cloth. It is then treated with a proprietary combination of natural oils, waxes, and a catalyst. You receive a message that your order has begun the curing process. Step 4: Your order cures for about a week. Step 5: After curing, your order is washed in a special aging and binding bath and allowed to dry for about 48 hours. Step 6: Final quality check. Your order is packaged and sent to you along with a care guide. You receive a message that your order is on it's way. Step 7: Your beautiful MapCloth arrives, all ready for your next adventure! A Bit About Me... I'm an incessant tinkerer, with a life-long love for invention, theatre, and biochemistry. After studying molecular biology in college, I worked as a balloon artist, teacher, international photojournalist, marketing director, and door-to-door salesman. But in every job, and in all my spare time, I kept a notebook of inventions, designs, and ideas. After many years, this notebook has expanded to several volumes. With the encouragement of friends and family, I decided to launch a business to start sharing these inventions with the world. Thus, WanderDen was born.

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/527239849/i-ate-fish-custard-gallifreyan-script-pendant This KS has the goal of making Whovian (Gallifreyan) pendants. Some of the folk on this board who are into cosplay might well be interested. According to the creator it says: "I Ate Fish Custard".. ..and, he is aiming at delivering in time for Christmas. (But, you could always tell people it means: "Admit One by order of the High Council of Gallifrey".) The fellow running this project is Andy Slater, the same Andy Slater who has supported and owned the Terragenesis miniature terrain building website(s) for many years. When Minibart created the books for his library diorama, he used the technique Andy wrote up and published in an article from the older TG site. A few of you might have read of Andy by following that thread.
