Kickstarter Round-Up: Munchkin Batman, Overisles RPG, Sci-Fi STL, and More
Come check out this week’s batch of Kickstarter and crowdfunding highlights – including Munchkin Batman!
Space Marauders – STL
In this Ks you will find miniatures of futuristic theme mixed with fantasy, characters with personality. This collection of miniatures are lovingly made in a 32mm scale, although it is possible to print in other scales to adapt to your board games or painting. You can print them in resin or FDM and files will be shared through Myminifactory.
Pledges start at $34 for the collection.
Beowulf #1-3
The story of a 13-year old girl, her talking cat, a millennial slacker, and a 10 ton dragon. Issue #3 continues the story begun in issues #1 and 2 of the hit indy series, Beowulf. Don’t worry, if you missed issue #1 and 2, we have the ketchup tier.
Pledges start at $5 for a PDF of issue 3 and $11 for PDFs of #1-3.
Gig Economy
Gig Economy is a 20 page zine for Old-School Essentials and other OSR systems. Inside you’ll find 200 weird, fun and quirky characters to keep your campaigns stocked with a lifetime of retainers and hirelings looking for work.
The concept for Gig Economy came about while running games online during the pandemic. With sessions typically lasting only 2 hours I needed a big list of retainers and some simple rules to get my players adventuring faster. What you’ll find inside this zine is a huge library of my own character creations and a few simple dice based procedures you can use to hire them.
Pledges start at $5 for a PDF.
Munchkin Batman
In regular Munchkin, you kill monsters. In this game, you commit crimes, ranging from Take Candy from a Baby (not very hard) to Reveal the Location of the Bat-Cave (really hard). Successful crimes move you toward victory. Failures can send you to Arkham Asylum. And Batman, with the faithful Robin, and the Gotham City police force, are right around the corner!
There are a few new game mechanics, too. In particular, keep your eye on the card art! A good Supervillain’ is always attentive to detail. Ally with your fellow arch-criminals! Break those alliances when they least expect it! Use magnificent inventions like the Grappling Gun and the fiendish Carnivorous Color Coordinated Confetti to aid your crimes … or to harass your rivals.
Pledges start at $50 for the KS version of the game.
