Kickstarter: Wild West Exodus

Wild West Exodus is a western steampunk miniatures combat game designed by Alessio Cavatore (of Warhammer 40k fame). It's running a Kickstarter with some beautiful western theme miniatures, which would be amazing if I ever decided to run a Fallout-themed game (the Outlaw faction would be perfect for Desert Rangers, for example). However, at a $65 price point for a 14 figure box, it's a tad pricey. Still, if this is what you're looking for, it fills a niche that isn't already cornered in a widely supported miniatures game. You have until Monday to make up your mind.

Project Mercury

On the cusp of my completion of planning for the first arc of my D&D campaign of a somewhat non-traditional campaign structure, the lovely lady I spend a hint of my free time with declared that she'd be interested in trying something in a bit of a different setting. This got me started working on Project Mercury, a more traditional tabletop roleplaying game with an adventuring bent, in a setting that she is interested in -- Victorian Britain.

This is why I throw money at them.

I spend so much time on Kickstarter because this is what makes me happy. From Shadowrun Returns:

Kickstarter: Dreamfall

That's right. A Dreamfall sequel. A few months ago, when developers on The Secret World did an Ask Me Anything, there seemed to be as many questions about a Dreamfall sequel as there were about TSW. Now, on Sunday, they'll be funding that sequel.

Kickstarter: A Mobile Battery Recharge

In a conversation I had the other day, I mentioned in passing that I was hoping for a way to recharge my 3DS on the fly. This, largely, was the biggest drawback I saw in mobile gaming -- once your battery dies, you're pretty much stuck twiddling your thumbs, and you're always in a location where there's no handy outlet and you haven't brought a book -- a plane, a train, and so on. And then I found this Kickstarter.

Kickstarter: Torment

In 2 days, inXile will start kickstarter funding for its next title, the sequel to Planescape: Torment. FYI.

Update: The Kickstarter can be found here. For a bit longer, you can snag a copy for $20. I'll spend a bit more time on this Kickstarter as the date gets closer.

City RPG: Part 2

On Wednesday, I laid out the foundation of the concept of a RPG where players defined a city and leveled it up in various ways based entirely on their actions. Today, I'm getting a hint deeper into the concept.
