Here’s a selection of crowdfunding campaigns and bundles that are counting down, ones that I’ve noticed and am currently watching for August, 2021. There’s a lot less this month, because I’m not paying as much attention to crowdfunding efforts, tbh, atm, in case you were wondering why the difference. But, I did notice these, fwiw. And, two bundles of note.

  • 3 days to go: “The Drowned War. A pen & Paper Table Top Role-playing game for Savage Worlds set in a flooded world.”—”The Drowned War uses the Savage Worlds Adventure Edition Roleplaying System (SWADE). This setting adds additional rules, Edges, Hindrances, and new options for science fiction and horror.”
  • 8 days to go: “A COLOSSAL offer of the FATE tabletop roleplaying game system. FATE WORLDS AND TOOLKITS. FATE OF CTHULHU, FORTY-FIVE Worlds of Adventure, five TOOLKITS, and LOTS more.”
  • 10 days to go: “KENNELS OF KARNAGE, a Third-Party Mörk Borg Adventure. A short adventure about saving lost dogs.”—”Kennels of Karnage will send the PCs to a dungeon in an abandoned Outpost Castle from a long lost war, to rescue the grand duke Death of Galgenbeck’s dog, called Murder. The reward is high and the risk is even greater.”
  • 10 days to go: “Adventure Post: Train of Terror. A 12-week long horror-themed, solo adventure delivered to your door via postcard, including an interactive PDF and free Teaser!”—”Adventure Post is a series of mini-adventures played over the course of 12 weeks. Each game so far has been wildly different. This one, written by Nicholas John-Charles, is a horror-themed, abstract train ride that ends on the week of Halloween, 2021!”
  • 10 days to go: “Spire’s End: Hildegard. Solo & Cooperative Card Game Adventure.”—”Hildegard is a solo and cooperative card game adventure set in the world of Spire’s End. After the dark and foreboding descent into the Spire, I decided to spin in a different direction. I’ve left behind the cold and the darkness for vibrance and warmth. I’m calling it ‘card game comfort food.’ It’s a different take, but it still fits snuggly into the Spire’s End world. This is a stand-alone adventure that can be played with or without any knowledge of the previous game. It’s split into 4 chapters, 400 cards total. There’s very little set-up and minimal components. No DM, or character sheets, or major bookkeeping. What you will have is a healthy stack of 400 glorious story cards with over 25 illustrations per chapter, 12 lovely custom etched dice, some cube markers and a rulebook, all in one tight little package.”
  • 12 days to go: “The Devil Made Us Do It. Save existence as we know it by bending reality to carry out the perfect heist in this unique zero-prep RPG.”—”Stealing Stories for the Devil is a fast-paced tabletop roleplaying game by legendary designer Monte Cook, in which you save existence as we know it by bending reality to carry out the perfect heist. When you play Stealing Stories, you pull off the perfect heist. Unique mechanics and structure ensure players and PCs are competent and cool at every stage of the adventure, and always have a trick up their sleeves. A collaborative scenario-building process means zero GM prep as the group formulates its elaborate plan while creating the adventure scenario at the same time. Unique mechanical elements such as Mission Cards hand the initiative to the players, turning crisis into opportunity just when it looks like there’s no hope of success. And, as reality-shaping liars, PCs can reshape their situation in literally any way they can conceive of. And lies always succeed. (While success is not the question, the price may be steep.) Throughout gameplay, unprecedented player agency ensures the PCs create and pull off amazing feats, completing their heists against incredible odds and looking great while they do it.”
  • 14 days to go: “Humble Comics Bundle: Judge Dredd – Perps, Punks & Partners by 2000 AD“—”Judge Dredd: The only law that matters in Mega-City One.
