RSP-BlogsI present to you the new Crowdfunding Collection #42, which includes every project started between 07.06 till 12.06.
The total number of projects clocked in at cozy twelve. Of those I am most impressed by the supplement called Niobe for PFRPG and the SnapDice dice tray.
Of course next to the absolutely stunning looking french Role-Playing Games. Which motivate me to restart and intensify my attempts to learn French.

Role-Playing Games
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/412883660/dimensions-pen-and-paper-rpg
Dimensions Pen & Paper RPG Dimensions Role-Playing System is a pen & paper RPG with a unique core system designed to encompass any and all genres.
The game offers in regards of its system has two main features.
At the one hand a somewhat innovative mix of level and point-buy approach to character progress. You’ll still level your character up, yet get a bunch of points to distribute at each level.
At the other hand it introduces a vitality based system. Opposed to standard HP vitality does not only drop because of battle, but as well thanks to the use of magic or mundane traveling.
Next to that the game appears to use a classical approach and offer quite some feats for character customization. In regards of setting it comes along with a post-apocalyptic Fantasy setting as get go. While it is described as post-apocalyptic it appears to rather utilize a „gonzo“ approach and got a little bit of everything.
The creators do offer up some chapters for those interested on their Kickstarter page.
It does appear to be expertly done, looks fine and I do recommend it.
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/74809709/the-dice-game-rpg-working-title
The Dice Game RPG (working title) This is a Simple fantasy themed table top RPG using a d6 system. The goal in the game is to defeat the final boss, put simply.
The project isn’t good. The description only spans a paragraph riddled with errors. It doesn’t say a lot about the game, which even lacks a proper name.
Yet while I wouldn’t recommend the project, I think it might be interesting to take a look at the comments. Where some backers appear to offer some helpful feedback and advice.
Supplements
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1182319554/niobe-she-is-life-hardcover-and-she-is-death-1-com
NIOBE: She is Life Hardcover & She is Death #1 Comic Book „With a world divided, who do you turn to?“ Niobe by Sebastian Jones, Amandla Stenberg, Ashley Woods, Sheldon Mitchell, & Darrell May.
Similar to the „Vampire Hunter D“ project Niobe is focused on creating a comic, yet attempts to finance a supplement for Pathfinder RPG along the road. The supplement will present the world of Niobe as a setting ready to be used in game. The book will have about 36 pages and is available for just $20 on top.
The comic looks great, the creators appear to be competent and I do enjoy to recommend it. It is as well the only project this time around where I feel seriously tempted.
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/infiniumgamestudio/dark-obelisk-2-character-compendium-for-pathfinder
Dark Obelisk 2: Character Compendium for Pathfinder RPG 400+ ready-to-play PCs and NPCs for Pathfinder RPG, featuring 11 Core, 9 Base, and 3 Alternate classes, and dozens of Archetypes.
The new project by J. Evans Payne would like to provide PFRPG fans with many PCs and NPCs and loads of crunch to use during a game.
The creators are quite experienced, as their previous projects for the Dark Obelisk line proved, and thus I think it’s worth a look if you are a PFRPG player.
Dice and Coin Projects
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/5toclose/snapdice-worlds-first-magnetic-dice-rolling-tray
SnapDice: World’s First Magnetic Dice Rolling Tray Premium Exotic Hardwoods. Perfectly Balanced Steel Dice. Rare Earth Magnets. Rolling the dice just became the focal point of your game.
The project offers the aforementioned perfectly balanced steel dice. Which are quite nifty on their own. Yet the main stay is the magnetic dice tray, that snaps dice into their place. Offering a variety of good woods to choose from.
The idea is cool and the project execution looks very legitimate. Thus I do, quite fondly, recommend the project.
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1867375749/slice-dice
Slice Dice Roll 1 to 6 slices of some pizza and pies.
Well, the project title and picture says it all.
The creators, All The King’s Games, appear to be experienced and the project might be worth a look for either dice or cooking enthusiasts or those who would visualize their Front clocks in PbtA or progress clocks in Blades in the Dark.
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/987261033/merchant-larp-coins
Merchant LARP Coins Gold, Silver and Copper merchant coins: Our new LARP currency, accepted by merchants and traders throughout the lands.
This Australian project would like to offer a currency for LARPs. The description is sparse. I doubt the claim that any LARP will accept the coin. Plus it appears to be a coin, like singular coin… a, just in my opinion, quite ugly looking coin.
It only delivers to Australian people anyway, though I would still advice caution.
Various Projects
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/qadtpod/quest-at-the-dinner-table-podcast
Quest at the Dinner Table Podcast! A custom live action Pathfinder role playing podcast between six nerds!
The „live action“ part apparently means that a group of 5 players plus a GM will play the PFRPG tabletop and record it. The money is needed to buy equipment and the podcast hosting service. An idea what to expect might be obtained via their first episode.
I could imagine that the project might be interesting for podcast fans.
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/spookychook/enamel-dragon-pins-traditional-tabletop-badges
Enamel Dragon Pins – Traditional Tabletop Badges Love dragons? I want to make 1′ 3/4″ hard enamel pins of the chromatics, maybe more! Get the shinies, hoard these dragons for yourself!
Well, another project that nails what its offering in the title and short description.
The dragons look cool, and I think it’s worth having a look.
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/118596628/wargames-holiday-retreat-bg
Wargames holiday Retreat BG We are creating an exciting new Wargaming experience here in Bulgaria in 2 acres of land in the grounds of an old manor House.
I’ve been a bit fascinated by the project, which does a good job describing what it wants to do. Which is why I included it despite the wargaming focus.

Role-Playing Games
https://fr.ulule.com/tiny-jdr/
Tiny Le jeu de rôle original où vous incarnez les jouets qui défendent leur enfant contre les créatures des cauchemars.
Tiny looks really cute and adorable. The game focuses on toys that come to live at night, to defend their kid against the incarnations of nightmares. The game uses the SVS system and includes tips and advice how to play with kids at age 7.
I do like the style, presentation and do recommend checking it out.
Meines Erachtens ist es ein sehr interessantes Projekt.
https://fr.ulule.com/nephilim-legende//
Nephilim Légende Le jeu de rôle de l’occulte contemporain.
The project aims to finance a new edition of Nephilim. A steampunk role-playing game that apparently is about 25 years old and enjoys quite some popularity.
It does use a d100 system, that has been revised and brought up to modern design standards. In regards of material, well it includes and summarizes everything there has been for Nephilim. Creating quite some book and a truly beautiful box. Next to gorgeous artworks.
I do recommend it whole heartily, at least if you can read and understand French.
