Deathly Thrones
Deathly Thrones is a print it yourself style single player roguelike game. Use playing cards along with the story laid out in the quest booklet to play. It takes less than one minute to set up, and each game runs about 15-20 minutes long. The rules are simple, you choose your hero, note your health and armor, and then select a Quest to conquer a new throne!
Pledges start at $1 for a basic PnP set.
Septima
In Septima, you play through four seasons, each consisting of five rounds, to gather a powerful coven of Witches and gain enough Wisdom points to become the worthy successor of the High Witch. You will accumulate Wisdom as you practice your craft in the superstitious town of Noctenburg: gather ingredients, brew powerful Potions, perform Rituals, heal the afflicted, and work in the shadows to turn suspicion and anger into support and acceptance.
Pledges start at $79 for the deluxe edition.
‘Take Courage, Matelot’ Shirts & Stickers
This pride season, [Lawrence Gullo is] paying tribute to Matelotage – the way pirates would tie the knot during the golden age of piracy. Not just a spicy piece of queer history, matelotage is also a distinctly anti-establishment and anti-imperial form of queer marriage, where two mates would contract their bond, and make each other heirs to their joint fortune.
I designed this image originally to be featured in an advertisement for an LGBTQ history tour of my hometown, and I’m delighted to say it graces many shopfronts in that form as we speak! I liked these two so much I wanted to make a t-shirt friendly version of the design to share with you – here it is!
Pledges start at $20 for a t-shirt – stickers are also available for $3.
Herbarium – 5e
Herbarium is the lovechild of folklorist Fez Inkwright’s love for botanical mythology and the TTRPG community. Not only does it introduce foraging mechanics and over 60 real-life plants for the nature-minded DM and player, but it also includes a guide on creating your own fictional plants with their own 5e mechanics; thematic adventure hooks and encounters; folklore-inspired new subclasses and character backgrounds; monstrous creatures from the dark side of traditional folk horror; over 100 craftable potions, items, and poisons; and more.
Pledges start at $23 for a PDF.
