The ‘Terraforming Mars’ RPG Raises Over $200K In Its First 24 Hours On BackerKit

Terraforming Mars will soon have its very own tabletop RPG thanks to an already immensely successful BackerKit campaign. Get in now!
They had me at “Terraforming Mars RPG,” honestly. Then they added words like “generational sci-fi” and “Ages of Mars”—which, again, they didn’t have to, but they did.
Shadowlands Games unveiled a new BackerKit campaign for a Terraforming Mars RPG. And it’s already wildly successful, having raised more than $200k in its first twenty-four hours on BackerKit. There are still two weeks to go and some very exciting campaign exclusive rewards, including naming a geographic landform, settlement, and NPC.

This is just the first wave. In the stretch goals, Shadowlands Games outlines future plans for further crowdfunding expansions. This is a game, much like the source material, that you can sink your teeth into for months if not years, to come.
There’s a ton of stuff that will be ready to go with the first wave of fulfillment, including the core rulebooks, a custom GM Screen, and dice. You’ll play over the course of many generations – each Age will focus on a different set of player characters. But it’s the kind of long form campaign you just don’t find in many places.
What will you name your geographic feature?
