Come check out this week’s batch of crowdfunding and Kickstarter highlights – including board games, RPGs, and STLs!

Gnome Village – Cute and Sometimes Naughty Tile Placement Game

 

Gnome Village is a board game that combines tile placement with cozy artwork. Strategize your way through this whimsical game, collecting resources, building workshops, and even visiting neighboring gnome communities.

Each player builds their own gnome village made up of tiles that represent different environments, paths, and workshops. Each workshop will have associated actions.

You can challenge or help fellow players, visit each other’s villages, and even expand your own village with businesses and workshops.

Compete to build the most beautiful village for your gnomes and earn points by buying houses, completing actions, and moving their gnomes into their new homes! You’ll also be putting these gnomes to work in order to gain more points, will they act as a painter, a gardener, or a carpenter?

7th Sea: Prince of Arrogance – Indiana Jones meets Pirates of the Caribbean

 

The day has come! After many years of work, Chaosium and Studio Agate are proud to present the first, official campaign for 7th Sea: Second Edition!

This Kickstarter campaign will help us provide you with the best possible edition! The book is already written and illustrated, however we’ve got lots more in store to give you a truly epic adventure!

The campaign is Indiana Jones meets Pirates of the Caribbean, with a dash of Treasure Island… From the imperial Montaigne courts, to the stifling jungles of the New World, the Heroes will live an extraordinary adventure. Theirs will be a journey throughout Terra, with pitfalls and mortal dangers aplenty. Opposing our heroes? Some of the most vicious Villains that can be found on the Seven Seas! Maybe they’ll find priceless treasure … but beware a Hero’s hubris, lest they pay the price of their arrogance!

The Painted Wastelands – Sandbox Adventure Through A Strange World

 

You are stranded upon the ragged edge of the infinite worlds of dreaming. Prepare your soul to enter a lucid land of sorcerers and endless pastel colored sands.

The Painted Wastelands is a mind melting tabletop role-playing game adventure module designed for Old School Essentials and closely with other classic retro clones. Dive headfirst into the strangest Hexcrawl set in a dreamworld filled with desert weirdos, ravenous ghouls, and teeth-stealing nightmares. Inspired by the works of Moebius and Lovecraft, this campaign setting will transport your players to a world like no other.

Apotheosis – GM-less Game of Myths and Legends

 

The story of Little Red Riding Hood was first told sometime in the 10th century by European peasants. It was passed down by oral tradition until the 17th century when a written version was popularized by Charles Perrault. It wasn’t until the 19th century, however, that the Brothers Grimm created their version of the story, which remains one of the best-known today. Little Red Riding Hood’s phylogeny includes hundreds of variants, with some varying greatly and some hardly at all. In another few centuries the story will likely diverge even further from its source.

Our stories evolve over time, influenced by the people who tell them, record them, and adapt them into new forms. And as society changes, so do our stories.

But for every story that we remember, dozens more might be forgotten.
How many stories have been lost to time?
