Kickstarter Highlights: Big ‘By Fire & Sword’, ‘Dungeon Saga’ Updates – and More
Come check out this week’s batch of crowdfunding and Kickstarter highlights – including board games, RPGs, and STLs!
Hellpiercers – RPG
Hell is a prison. Break its bars.
In Hellpiercers, you and 2-5 of your closest friends play as divine humanity clad in the corpses of angels storming the gates of hell. Inspired by games like LANCER and D&D 4th Edition, our game centers on four core concepts:
- Vast character customization that encourages creative thinking and tinkering
- A meaningful strategic layer that creates emergent narratives with mechanical simplicity
- Fast-paced tactical combat focused on climatic boss battles and unique horde mechanics
- Extensive GM tools and options enabling interesting counter-play and interesting faction development
Gem of Life – 5e
A mysterious and powerful gem holds the key to life in the heart of the dangerous mountain range. Known as the Gem of Life, it can animate the inanimate, breathing life into objects and even creations of metal. Gruk Ironfist, a brilliant and eccentric dwarf engineer, has spent a lifetime perfecting his magnum opus – a metal companion that is a testament to his genius and mastery. Yet, without the Gem of Life, his creation remains a lifeless shell.
The adventure features an engaging story, memorable NPCs, and challenging encounters. Plus, multiple possible endings that add depth and unpredictability to the story, keeping players engaged and invested in the outcome.
The Last Sword – STL
All the models in the collection will be available in 75mm and 32mm scale. Each model is split into several parts – body, base, sword, and more for easy printing and customizing. By pledging, you will receive the STL files shortly after the campaign has ended.
By Fire & Sword 2nd Edition
This week’s header image is from this campaign.
By Fire and Sword is a realistic, playable, and very dynamic wargame that recreates the numerous wars fought by in the Central and Eastern Europes during the second part of 17th century. Since its release in 2011, we have supported it with many publications (both printed and provided as free pdfs) and hundreds of miniature and terrain sets. We organized tournaments, including the International Championship in Warsaw gathering participants from many countries.
After 12 years, we decided that both the game and you, the players, deserve a new edition. Faster, more dynamic, but also easier to learn. And, of course, new models too.
