Tabletop Kickstarter Round-Up: August 5, 2020
Come check out this week’s batch of crowdfunding highlights!
Brass Rings Pocket RPG
Brass Rings is a game of adventure among the rings of Saturn and its abandoned outposts. Many generations ago, the forerunners abandoned the rings and left behind the current inhabitants. The rodents of the Great Tree have built a life and home but are in need of new resources to continue to grow and prosper.
Railroads extend to the outposts and airship ports to assist with exploration. The residents of the Great Tree live in a time of adventure and exploration, but also a time of danger. The forerunners did not just leave behind the rodents, but their way of controlling them as well. As the rodents move out into the ring to find the ruined forerunner outposts, they are met with the many threats left behind by the forerunners.
Take on the adventure and exploration! Defend the realm from ancient threats. Join us and enjoy Brass Rings.
Pledges start at $1 for a PDF and $10 for a pamphlet sized printed copy.
Roll Camera!
You are movie producers in a failing film production company. You have one last chance to make a successful film – otherwise the company will collapse and you’ll never work in this town again! You have to use the resources at your disposal to produce this film on time and under budget, ensure it’s a high enough quality, and make some sense of the resulting story. No time to waste – roll camera!
Roll Camera! is a cooperative or solo dice worker placement game of resource management and a central geometric puzzle representing your shooting arrangement. You throw the custom D6 Crew dice, each face representing a different production department (camera, light, sound, actor, production design, visual effects) and assign them to actions. At the game’s end, you’ll have a unique sequence of completed Shot cards which you can “premiere” using the story cues — it’s the filmmaking game that results in a “real” movie!
Pledges start at $49 for a physical copy of the game with stretch goals.
