Come check out this week’s batch of crowdfunding and Kickstarter highlights – including board games, RPGs, and STLs!
Victoriana – 5E Steampunk TTRPG
It is 1887 – the year of Queen Victoria’s Golden Jubilee — a time of opportunity and oppression, magic and technology, evolution and revolution.
The Second Great Age of Sorcery is over. The arcane aristocracy grows increasingly desperate as the bourgeois technologists rise to eclipse their long-held dominance. Left behind by the progress of the industrial revolution, proletariat anger is at boiling point. The old social order strains and creaks as the balance of power shifts. The world is in upheaval, change is coming, and nothing will remain untouched. Everyone will have to take a side.
Some are quick to step forward. Small groups of individuals brought together by shared purpose and prepared to stand up and be counted. The newspapers refer to them dismissively as Irregulars, alternately scorning their earnest beliefs or cynical self-interest.
Drawn from all walks of life, each band of Irregulars is united by its own particular cause. One thing they all have in common: whether they are tracking down the horrors that still lurk in London’s darkest shadows, overthrowing greedy bourgeois captains of industry in Bermondsey, or throwing a wrench in the plans of degenerate nobles attempting to summon evil gods in Kensington Gardens, Irregulars will be found where they are most needed. Which side will you choose?
Jurassic Feud– Dinosaur Catapult Board Game
Build your fortress, choose your warriors, and pick your dinosaur, and start catapulting boulders! Jurassic Feud is an silly, fun, simple game of maximum destruction that can be fun or kids and adults alike.

Burgle Bros. 3 – Pull of a Heist Against High Tech Security
The Burgle Bros are back for a cyberpunk heist! After a dynamite-induced mishap, the team is propelled to a future dominated by AI and oppressive corporations. The classic Burgle Bros crew will use their old tricks as well as some newfound skills to infiltrate and take down these corporations from the inside in this game for 1-4 players.
Veilgrave, Mörk Borg– RPG with the Abysmal
Your debt to the Silver Clutch of Schlewsig is colossal. The only way to repay it is to undertake a dangerous journey into the Sarkash Forest in search of a certain quantity of a certain drug known as Kairos. Kairos is the drug du jour among the rich and decadent of the cities but all that’s known of its source are dark rumors and unsettling murmurs. It’s said that gangs run the Kairos trade out of the forest. It’s said they protect the source of the drug with abhorrent violence. It’s said that lurking in the heart of the wood is a secret most horrible.
This sandbox adventure for use with Morkborg or other RPGs contains startling adventure hooks, memorable characters, bespoke customization rules (including player character skeletonization mechanics), and multiple dungeons ripe for exploration. Just us beyond the forest of Sarkash the mysteries of the Veilgrave await illumination…
