Crowdfunding Campaign Launched For Die Of Newt D20s

Crowdfunding Campaign Launched For Die Of Newt D20s

, , , , 0

Make your tabletop gaming sessions a bit more magical by adding a special ingredient: Die of Newt! Hollow-form dice are becoming popular items in the RPG collecting scene, and our old friends at Mythroll Armory have responded with a take of their own. A scaly one! Each of these handcrafted, limited-edition dice has a tiny newt crawling on all 20 sides. Intricately designed by a 3D modeler, each side is different and all dice are painted by hand. The tropically-themed dice come in nine tropical colors (red, orange, yellow, blue, teal, green, pink, copper or black) and all types (D20, D12, D10, D8, D6 and D4). “Working through sketches and partnering with a talented 3D modeler we were able to design each die in the series,” says Mythroll. “We tested with various sizes and coated them in different pigments until we found a set of beautiful, eye-catching colors that reflect the beauty found in the wild.” The crowdfunding campaign for Die of Newt is now live. Pledging to get the

There’s Now A Mission To Complete The Lost Game Boy Color Game Infinity

There’s Now A Mission To Complete The Lost Game Boy Color Game Infinity

, , , , , 0

From 1999 to 2001, Canadian developer Affinix Software worked on a tactical RPG for the Game Boy Color called Infinity. Despite years of work, the project was ultimately shelved when the Game Boy Advance arrived and the GBC market started shrinking. Unable to guarantee a profit if the game was manufactured, Affinix elected not to complete it. A partially complete ROM was dumped online in 2016, but it was not the full game as intended. But thanks to the miracle of Kickstarter, the full game will see completion 20 years later! A team of former Affinix developers, along with some unassociated newcomers, have joined up to finish the coding on Infinity, print it to physical cartridges, and wrap the game up in a physical box. The campaign is live now! An ancient, nameless evil stirs beneath the earth, twisting the land and its people alike with its corrupting force. Two rival nations careen toward war, as a shadowy figure arms them both with unholy weapons of immense power. A disgraced

Picaresque Roman Launches Kickstarter Campaign

Picaresque Roman Launches Kickstarter Campaign

, , , , , 0

Thanks to tabletop localization company LionWing, America will be getting their first edition of the popular Japanese game Picaresque Roman (though in Japan, it’s their fifth edition). The Kickstarter campaign for the game launched today. Picaresque Roman takes place in a futuristic and very corrupt metropolis simply called The City. Four or five players assume identities like Yakuza, Info Broker, Swindler, Heartbreaker, and Gambler, then get to work gaining influence and power. Each of you will obtain secret information, and must decide whether to partner up with other crooks to become twice as powerful, or keep it for yourself. Your goal is to topple the “VIP,” or the central character of the story who is controlled by the GM. Thanks to Among Us, you are no doubt familiar by now with the gaming concept of one player being a secret traitor who’s sabotaging the others. This one throws in a little twist…the traitor is the player secretly working for the VIP (aka the GM). If no one susses out the

The Great War Of Jorth Launches Crowdfunding Campaign

The Great War Of Jorth Launches Crowdfunding Campaign

Jason and Pamela Gale, a husband-and-wife team from Canada, have been slowly building up an epic PC RPG called The Great War Of Jorth for the last five years. Now it’s nearly done and a Kickstarter campaign has been launched to finish it. Video game projects come in all sizes these days, from 5,000 staffers to just one or two people. In this case The Great War Of Jorth is a true heartfelt project: it’s a game Jason always wanted to make, but became ill and couldn’t. While he was undergoing treatment, Pamela began work on the game, filling it with the characters and ideas Jason wanted. After a year had passed, Jason had recovered enough to contribute to the game himself, and now they have a nearly-complete, sprawling 2D RPG with at least fifty hours of content. The pair are ambitious to the point that they’ve added full voice acting to every bit of dialogue in the game (and there’s a lot of it). The Great War Of Jorth

Kickstarter Launches For Roniu’s Tale

Kickstarter Launches For Roniu’s Tale

, , , , , 0

These days, it seems like we get a new physical production of a NES homebrew game every week. This time, it’s the action puzzle game Roniu’s Tale, developed by the four-person team at Kunjee Studio and distributed by Mega Cat Games. Roniu is the name of a young magician who lives in a peaceful town and is kinda bored. So when he sees a light coming from behind the city walls, Roniu leaps over, touches it — and is instantly transported to a magical dimension where the only hope of escape is to clear all the floors in the area. The problem? Each tile he steps on will crumble under his feet after one use. That means Roniu has to plan his steps carefully, and doubly so when dealing with the monsters that roam each floor. Being a wizard in training, Roniu has a few powers he can rely on. He can shoot three fireballs per floor, which can be used to either defeat enemies or break stone barriers. He

Avatar Legends Is So Popular, It’s Run Out Of Stretch Goals

On August 3, Magpie Games launched the crowdfunding campaign for Avatar Legends: The Roleplaying Game. Their goal was $50,000, and to put it simply, they’ve busted through that goal so hard that it is now the highest-grossing tabletop RPG campaign in Kickstarter history. It’s so successful that it crossed the $5,000,000 mark last night, which means Magpie has run out of stretch goals to add to the campaign! They’re not scrambling to come up with more. “We’re still working on several stretch goals through approvals. This process is important and takes a fair bit of time. Viacom is working with us to speed up the process, but it normally takes 10+ days for the process. We’re so grateful they’re working with us to get things moving!” says Magpie. “Our next stretch goal will be at 6 Million! Once we can reveal the details, we will! Stay tuned!” I wouldn’t be surprised if the campaign goes higher than six mil before some of those goals get approved. Avatar Legends: The Roleplaying

One week ago, Magpie Games launched the crowdfunding campaign for Avatar Legends: The Roleplaying Game, with a goal of just $50,000. It’s succeeded well beyond their modest expectations…the campaign took in over a million dollars in just one day, and as of now it’s earned over FOUR million, making it the highest-grossing tabletop RPG campaign in Kickstarter history. The previous record, if you’re curious, was held by Matt Colville’s Strongholds and Followers, a D&D campaign that earned $2.1 million over one month. Magpie has just doubled that record within just a week. Avatar Legends: The Roleplaying Game covers both existing series (ATLA and Legend of Korra) in one box. The rules are quite deep and better explained on the Kickstarter page, but in basic terms it’s based on the Apocalypse framework. Players invent their own characters, travel through the world and affect the story through their actions. Five known eras are included as potential settings: Kyoshi Era, Roku Era, the Hundred Years’ War (when the new Avatar was frozen), Aang

Weight of the world got you down? Don’t get mad, don’t stay sad — paint a turtle! Joe Sherman, creator of the award-winning 2019 NES game Turtle Rescue, is about to release his second shelled reptile related project….this one vastly different not just from his first game but from most NES homebrews out there. Shut in at his house during the pandemic, he had the idea to use his free time to create a different kind of retro gaming experience. You don’t win anything in Turtle Paint; there’s no time limit or enemies to fight…it’s simply what it says. It’s a digital coloring book featuring the characters from Turtle Rescue. To date there is only one other released coloring game for the NES, but Joe swears his is better: We’re not gonna argue with that. The Turtle Paint campaign just launched now, and though there are 30 days left in it, only Day One backers will have the chance at a one-of-a kind, special edition “Painters Club” physical cart that

A few weeks ago Studio Mechka launched the crowdfunding campaign for its upcoming game Marko: Beyond Brave. The campaign is officially a success, hitting its funding goal yesterday. Now with eleven days to go, they’re working on the stretch goals. In Balkan and Slavic folklore, there’s a legend of a medieval hero named Marko who possessed super-strength and roamed his kingdom battling enemies and saving the downtrodden. The Marko stories greatly resemble the superhero tales popular today, proving there are no original ideas, but the point is, Marko’s never had his own game until now. With courage as large as his mustache, he hops and bops through the metroidvania world of Zagora, solving puzzles, defeating bosses and upgrading his weapons and skills.  Traditional 2D art: Inspired by classic Disney cartoons all of our art is hand-drawn.  Challenging, but fair gameplay: Responsive controls, jump, fight and dash your way across challenges. Battle mighty foes and slay ancient evils.  Explore the vast land of Zagora: With over 15 hours of gameplay, the
