Float: From the Deep
FLOAT: From the Deep is a fast-paced tabletop game where players find themselves lost at sea, battling monsters from below and attempting to outsmart and outlast their fellow survivors. With only 7 days to make it to the island in the foggy distance, it’s sink, swim, or be devoured by the next creature from the deep.
Players draw and play cards, roll dice for battling, and manage their resources and crew through their player stations. The game ends when either all members but one have been eliminated, or once all surviving parties make it to the island. They have 7 days (21 rounds) to clear and make it to the island or become shark bait.
Pledges start at $39 for the core game.

The Yokai Encounter – STLs
In this [campaign] we will delve into Japanese folklore at the hands of the yokai, enigmatic creatures deeply rooted in the Japanese community. A selection of 8 creatures will form the basic set, which can be used for board games. The basic set of this collection consists of:
- Otoroshi
- Oni
- Kappa
- Karakasa
- Chochin obake
- Akame
- Dorotabo
- Ashinaga & Tenaga
Each miniature has its own personalized base. All the miniatures are scaled 32mm and 75 mm with high detail, so you can print it in any scale you want.
Pledges start at $11 for the basic set.
Shanty Hunters RPG
In Shanty Hunters, your character is a sailor or scholar drawn to the sea lanes to document shanties – even though doing so angers the campaign’s villain and imperils your life and the lives of your shipmates. You are defined by your Profession and your Drive.
The book presents twelve example Professions compatible with disappearing to sea for months at a time: from client scholar to spy to three different kinds of sailors (pollywog, shellback, and mate). Your Drive is what compels you to continue documenting shanties, even though doing so endangers you and everyone around you. The book presents ten examples from occultism to naiveté to romanticism.
Creating characters is fast and easy, but if you want to jump right into play, the book presents six pregenerated characters, all of them bold and strongly-written.
Pledges start at $15 for a PDF.
