This week’s Kickstarter roundup includes Neon Hope, a magnetic Pocket RPG, The Sickest Witch and more.

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

Sickest Witch RPG

 

Curious about Sickest Witch? Maybe you like really dark games or maybe you love witches—or both. You might just like the name. Sickest Witch is a dar, low-fantasy system and series of adventures. There are no dragons or fairies. Demonology is prevalent among the poor common folk who populate the towns. Black magic, plague, and famine are routine. But this is folk horror with a twist.

Nostalgia is not what Sickest Witch is going for. There are many old school systems that do that great. Even though this system borrows heavily from the past, it is not looking to recreate it.

This is what sets the Severed System apart from others. Firstly, Witches have to harvest body parts to cast magic. Piece by piece, you become more powerful as you hack up your enemies. Additionally, nearly all magic points are shared in a pool named the Cauldron. This makes for somewhat tense moments as your Coven discusses what to do next.

Ronin: Densetsu

 

For centuries, the people of Kage no Shima have lived beneath the weight of their own stories – some carved into history, others lurking in the dark, waiting to be told.

Some talk of wandering swordsmen who challenged the gods and walked away immortal. Others speak in hushed tones of yokai lurking, hungry for flesh, for souls, for something no living man can name. The cowards call them myths.

The wise know better.

Neon Hope

 

Introduce your friends to TTRPGs!

The NEON HOPE RPG and Trail of the Behemoth were designed from the very start to be the perfect games to bring to board game night. If you have tabletop friends that you haven’t yet convinced to join your TTRPG group, these games will welcome them in.

You can teach these games in 15 minutes, but play for years. Even better, by taking design lessons from board games, every scene is filled with action-packed strategic choices.

Starbreaker: Star Marines for Savage Worlds

In the gritty sci-fi setting Starbreaker, the galaxy has been shattered by war, and civilization is in the process of rebuilding. At the heart of this civilization is the Star System Alliance and its first line of defense: the Star Marines Corps.

Requires the Savage Worlds Core Rule Book, Starbreaker Core Setting Book, and SciFi Companion to play.

“WE ARE THE SWORD. WE ARE THE SHIELD.”

The Star Marines defend the SSA against invaders left over from the war, criminal syndicates, corporate warlords, and all who declare themselves enemies of the Alliance. To protect what is theirs, reclaim what was taken, and maintain the sovereignty of the SSA, the Star Marines charge boldly into the void!

Starbreaker: Star Marines put you in the armor of a Star Marine. You and your squad are tasked with taking on the dangerous missions that keep the Star Systems Alliance from being torn apart by its countless enemies. Grab your rifle and load up, Marine! It’s time to get to work!

Gates of Krystalia

 

What is GATES OF KRYSTALIA?


Forget about encyclopedic rulebooks that feel like college textbooks. Gates of Krystalia breaks traditional TTRPG conventions with a card-based combat system that turns every battle into a strategic moment without losing the pace of storytelling.

This isn’t just another generic fantasy clone or dice-based system with a new setting. It’s a game built from the ground up to replicate the feel of a high-quality isekai anime, where gameplay and narrative are perfectly aligned.
