Trophy – RPG
Trophy is a tabletop roleplaying game about a group of treasure-hunters entering a forest that doesn’t want them there. Trophy is not one game, but two: Trophy Dark and Trophy Gold. We’re raising money to create 3 hardcover books. Each book will be: 7″x10″ in size, and feature luxurious heavyweight paper, full-color interiors, partial cloth bindings, foil stamps, and ribbon bookmarks.
Trophy Dark is a one-shot game of psychological horror, where you portray risk-taking treasure-hunters on a doomed expedition. Trophy Gold is a campaign-length game of dungeon-delving adventure in the old school model. In addition to Trophy Dark and Trophy Gold, we are also creating Trophy Loom: a system-agnostic setting guide. Trophy Loom helps you bring to life your own dark fantasy world for Trophy Dark, Trophy Gold, or for your favorite fantasy roleplaying game system.
Mimic Books – Make 100
From creator Suetyfiddle: I made my first book mimic dice box as a personal experiment in August 2019. As soon as I was done, I posted it up to imgur & instagram. It was pretty small, and held about 20 dice. It sold in three hours. Since then, I’ve made a further ten dice box mimics, and two notebooks. I’ve updated my design to hold ~30 dice and a couple of minis, and I’ve tried a bunch of different styles & arrangements. Available styles:
- Notebook Mimic: 150 pages of plain, 120gsm ivory paper, teeth along the top cover (or bottom, if you’re left handed) only, to allow ease of writing
- Dicebook Mimic: 260-270 pages (glued together & hollowed to make a box), teeth along both the top & bottom covers
- Monster Book of Monsters: Hand-cut page recesses can be customised to hold minis, dice, pencils, spell cards etc; glass cabochon eyes, 70million year old shark teeth along the top & bottom inside covers.
These are handmade, leather bound and include an interior style and colors of your choosing – with that in mind, pledges start at $66 and range to $651
