Dwarven Forge: Caverns Kickstarter OPEN!

Because ermagherd. Ends on the 8th of April. Link here.

Guild Ball Kickstarter

Guildball, an alternate fantasy football game in the vein of Blood Bowl (but with slightly less fantasy), has a kickstarter going on now.  It ends March 22nd, and the buy in is at 57 pounds ($95).

Dreadball Expansion: Dreadball Xtreme

Mantic is now running a Kickstarter campaign for a new expansion to Dreadball, Mantic's game of sci-fi tabletop sport, similar to Blood Bowl but with a sci-fi setting.  The expansion is called DreadBall Xtreme, and focuses on off-the-books matches of Dreadball.  The buy-in is $25 if you only need the team and PDF rules, $75 if you need the full set. The campaign ends on the 16th of March.

Heroquest Returns

My occasional browsing of Kickstarter turned up a new edition of the game.  Check it out!

At-tack!

Mantic is at it again on Kickstarter, and this time, they're doing a tactical war/board game based on the Mars Attacks franchise.  Entry level for the full game comes in at $100, but the kickstarter (here) features a number of things I'm excited about in the 28mm space:

* 28mm modern civilian miniatures
* easy damaged urban brick walls, as well as intact urban walls.
* Atenocities 28mm urban terrain


These in addition to the 28mm US soldiers and martians (and flying saucers) you'd probably expect.  Check it out!

Kickstarter: Red Aegis

On one of my incursions on the web, I stumbled across Red Aegis, which runs similar to a campaign I've been fleshing out for some time.  The concept is fairly simple -- build a world through RPG sessions, and take it through thousands of years in its history until the end of the civilization.  It's available for Pathfinder, and will hopefully expand into Fate, 13th Age, and Dungeon World as the campaign goes on.  It ends on Friday.  Check it out!

Debuting Tomorrow

Cthulhu Wars Kickstarter

Since I missed Chaosium's Call of Cthulhu 7th Kickstarter, I might as well make this Cthulhu week.  The creator of the Call of Cthulhu RPG, Sandy Petersen, is creating a board game of miniatures combat featuring elder gods, cults, and the opening of gates.  The concept reminds me very much of the old Cults Across America, but with two large changes -- gone is the old tongue-in-cheek flavor, and replacing the old cardboard pieces, there are a full range of 28mm-scale miniatures, including the Elder Gods.  Check it out on Kickstarter.

I can't decide which photo will be my DocWagon ID photo.  Help me.

Reminder: Secret Weapons Tablescapes

Go give your money to Secret Weapons!  The kickstarter finishes up this weekend.

Here's a review:

The Chosen is a Roadie

Double Fine has teamed up with the Humble Bundle folks to offer the following in a new Humble Bundle, including Steam keys:

• Brutal Legend (if you pay more than the average, $8 as of this writing)
• Costume Quest
• Stacking
• Psychonauts
• Double Fine Adventure/Broken Age (if you pay more than $35)

Double Fine is throwing any proceeds they get at paying for Broken Age, which they have recently announced a delay in the production from (as they were initially releasing in April).  Whether you throw money at charity or at the production of Broken Age, it's a steal.

Dwarven Forge Final Total

Dwarven Forge. Last Reminder.

Go buy it it all. Today's the last day, and it's down to about .80 per piece.

Reminder: Dwarven Forge

The Dwarven Forge Kickstarter ends Tuesday. As a reminder, Dwarven Forge is selling professional-grade industrial-strength terrain that you can hit with hammers. Not that I'm suggesting you should hit the terrain with hammers or anything. It's very cheap, and there are nice additions.

Kickstarter: Secret Weapon Tablescapes

A few years ago, Games Workshop released a modular board, and I was intrigued, but it didn't really fit what I wanted. I've been looking into modular tabletop terrain for both fantasy and science fiction games for a bit now, and this Kickstarter has perfect timing -- modular sci-fi boards of more modern theme, and less of an "open battlefield" theme.

Mantic Games: Deadzone

Mantic Games is at this point largely known for its proxies of obsolete Games Workshop models, such as zombies or Chaos Dwarves.  Last year, they ran a Kickstarter program that allowed their fantasy game to move past that, teasing beautiful angels, werewolves, ogres, and other sculpts that weren't Games Workshop-related.  They then announced Dreadball, an updated, science-fiction focused dreadball.  In comparison, the releases for their science fiction line, Warzone, were rather lackluster.  I was nonplussed by their space Orkcx and space Dwarves, and their humanoids seemed to try to just be another Imperial Guard world army in 40k.  Now, though, Mantic is teasing a step out of Games Workshop's shadow with their science fiction line.  In a little over one week, they will have a kickstarter for a science fiction skirmish game, Deadzone.

Kickstarter: Dwarven Forge

I've had my eye on Dwarven Forge since Penny Arcade posted pictures of an elaborate painted dungeon, complete with accessories and terrain.  Dwarven Forge has always had gorgeous sets, hand-made from resin.  There are two things that historically kept me from buying in -- the hefty cost, and the heavy weight.  They're currently addressing both of these by casting out of a rubberized material called Dwarvenite.  Kickstarter is currently funding the new molds and the advancement necessary to do both -- and the rewards are steep.

Kickstarter: Torment

Given the Torment Kickstarter is about to expire, I figured I'd best explain what it was more than my brief blurb.  Keep in mind, the Kickstarter ends Friday, so you've got two days to make up your mind.
