Kickstarter Round-Up: Twilight War, Cthulhu Awakens, Burly Girls, and More
Come check out this week’s batch of Kickstarter and crowdfunding highlights!
Party First: Twilight War
LAST CHANCE – KS ENDS TODAY!
Party First is a tabletop roleplaying game about the horrors of the supernatural and cosmic but also the human and bureaucratic. It takes its cues from media such as The Thing, Red Dawn, The Fly, The Hunt for Red October, and even Stranger Things but filtered through an alternate history twist. In Twilight World, a group of players take on the roles of individuals living within the nation of the USRA in the Twilight World set during the year 1985.
Pledges start at $7 for a PDF.
Trekking Through History
In Trekking through History, you go on a three-day tour of human history, traveling thousands of years in a time machine to experience great moments from our past. The game takes place over three rounds, each representing one day of your trip. Each day, you visit a series of historical events, spending a different number of hours at each.

Pledges start at $50 for the game.
The Burly Girls
The Burly Girls project started as an effort to bring about a series of strong female warrior miniatures who look the part. I wanted to produce figures that fit a variety of themes to try and appeal to several genres at once and give people a broader choice of figure alongside a broader choice of assembly, with each kit having multiple weapon and head options. I worked together with concept artists Danny Cruz, Step and my good friend “Catlord” to create a diverse cast and array of bits options.
Physical copies will be cast in resin by Scalebro.
Pledges start at $30 for an STL pack and $40 for a single resin mini.
Cat Shit One Omnibus
Antarctic Press has published many manga titles over the years, and recently, we have had the pleasure to release Cat Shit One, a three-volume manga series written and illustrated by Motofumi Kobayashi. Mr. Kobayashi’s story follows the exploits of three soldiers—Botasky, Perky and Rats (depicted as anthropomorphic rabbits)—who belong to a reconnaissance team called “Cat Shit One”. It depicts the daily activities and dangers they face, from Vietnam in the 1960s to Grenada and Afghanistan in the 1980s.
With this Kickstarter campaign, we hope to release the entirety of the Cat Shit One series as one omnibus collection for the first time.
Pledges start at $15 for a PDF and $35 for a hardcover.
Mina the Hollower
Mina the Hollower is a bone-chilling action adventure featuring classic gameplay and an 8-bit aesthetic in the style of Game Boy Color, refined for the modern era. Smooth 60fps action combat, a world full of mystery and horror, and top-down adventuring combine in a mix that may remind you of classic titles like Castlevania, The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening, or even Bloodborne. Whip foes, burrow through the ground, and explore a pixel-perfect world in Mina the Hollower, a brand new game from the developers who brought you Shovel Knight!
You won’t want to miss this harrowing, yet heartwarming tale!
Pledges start at $20 for a digital copy on your platform of choice.
Cthulhu Awakens RPG
Cthulhu Awakens brings cosmic horror and the Cthulhu Mythos from the unimaginable past, through the 1920s, and into the 21st Century, in a complete roleplaying game powered by AGE: the Adventure Game Engine.
In Cthulhu Awakens, the “canon” is a lie hinting at the truth: the forces of the Mythos, from its dead dreaming gods to its alien colonizers, have been hidden by a veil of fiction and bias, in tales told to protect the guilty. Aliens care nothing about our social distinctions, but the powerful have often harnessed eldritch forces for themselves, while blaming the oppressed for the evil unleashed upon the world. In Cthulhu Awakens, anyone can raise a torch against the night, and every tradition has its occult lore.
Pledges start at $30 for a PDF.
