Blackbirds RPG
Blackbirds is a tabletop RPG set in a fantasy world inspired by Europe during the Hundred Years’ War. In Erebos, a cabal of power-hungry Oligarchs has stolen godhood. Their horrific act has rent the fabric of reality, allowing corrupt magic to undermine the world’s natural order. An atmosphere of lingering dread was ushered in by the recent destruction of the gods. And after slaying heaven’s pantheon, the Oligarchs turned their dark intentions on the very arbiters of Fate.
Blackbirds is a dark and gritty fantasy tabletop RPG and can be summarised as an alchemical reduction of three literary styles of fiction: low fantasy, epic fantasy, and grimdark fantasy. The dead rise, magic is real, and a concealed dagger is as deadly as a polished longsword. Nobility and morality are in no way related. Every battle is a matter of life and death. But there are romantic elements, and a doomed world may also still be beautiful, permeated as it is with melancholic charm.

Pledges start at $25 for a digital copy.
Legion of the Undead – STL
Hello, tabletop players and miniature collectors! Do you have a 3d printer? Do you love to print badass minifigs but hate the process of removing supports? Look no further! Here’s your chance to get a bunch of one-click-print figurines, specially made to be printable without supports no matter if you use resin or fdm printing!
Legion of the Undead is a Kickstarter project for high-quality epic models, ready to be 3d-printed as miniatures for your gaming tabletop or large printed collectibles. Every model in here has been carefully sculpted for resin and fdm printing alike, without the need for slicer supports. As with the previous two projects, my goal is to create the most dynamic figures possibles with super clean details and a high level of finish, while keeping the designs supportless and easy for people to print no matter what 3d printer they have available to them.
Pledges start at $24 for all STL files plus stretch goals.
Voidfall
For centuries, the Novarchs, descendants of the royal House of Novarchon, have ruled with an iron fist over the feudalistic galactic empire of humankind, the Domineum. During this time, they brought stunning technological innovation and scientific advancements to their domain. This accelerated progression helped the Domineum reach — and eventually inhabit — even the farthest segments of the known galaxy, where new Houses emerged to govern the outer sectors of the empire. As the House of Novarchon grew in power, so grew the religious cult that surrounded them, proclaiming grim prophecies about an ancient cosmic being from another dimension: the Voidborn.
Voidfall is a space 4X game that brings the genre to Euro enthusiasts’ tables. It combines the tension, player interaction, and deep empire customization of the 4X genre with the resource management, tight decisions, and minimum-luck gameplay of an economic Euro. Win by pushing back the Voidborn in the solo/coop mode, or by overcoming your rivals’ influence in restoring the Domineum in the competitive mode — both using the same rule set and game system. Variability is ensured not only by multiple playable houses with their own strengths and weaknesses, but also by many different map set-ups for all game modes.
Pledges start at $87 for the standard game.
Eidol: The Endless Dungeon – 5e
The world of Eidol is a prison planet, constructed by an ancient spacefaring culture to imprison the Great Goddess, Pandora. To keep the goddess’s agents at bay, the cube-shaped planet consists of six sprawling dungeons, ever-changing their layout and contents—a challenge that never ends, luring delvers into the depths of the world in pursuit of treasure, glory, and a wish granted by the Maiden of the Dungeon herself.
Eidol is a fully-illustrated 200+ page campaign setting, and will be released as a hardcover book and a PDF. The book includes:
- A new system for building fleshed-out characters, replacing races with ancestries, cultures, and secrets
- A new Eidol-themed subclass for all twelve classes
- Six joinable factions to fill your campaign with intrigue and conflict
- The Delve system, a simple low-prep way to run megadungeons on the fly
- A detailed gazetteer of all six major regions of the planet
- 20 new magic items, 12 new spells, 3 new feats, and lots of new equipment
- 60+ new stat blocks, including creatures and NPCs
Pledges start at $20 for a digital copy.
