Paperback Adventures

Our intrepid author Paige Turner is back!  In Paperback Adventures, you get to play as the protagonist in one of Paige’s wild brainstorming sessions. Conquer a menagerie of pulp novel characters in this solo deckbuilding word game. Build your own deck of cards throughout the game, and those cards will have letters to help you spell words every turn. But in Paperback Adventures, instead of testing your wordsmithing wit against other players, you will use your words to defeat a series of AI enemies in “roguelike” fashion. 

Paperback Adventures is a solo-focused game. It was designed from the ground up as a strategic, highly-replayable solo word game. There are also additional gameplay variants for cooperative play between two players.

Pledges start at $35 for the core box.

 

The Witcher: Old World

Set years before the saga of Geralt of Rivia, The Witcher: Old World explores a time when monsters roamed the Continent in greater numbers, creating a constant peril that required the attention of expertly trained monster slayers, known as witchers. Five competing schools trained their adepts through brutal regimes, and once fully prepared, these now-recognized witchers set off to explore the land, seeking trouble and adventures and helping others for coin.

In this competitive adventure board game, 2-5 players travel across a vast map, embarking on masterfully penned quests, encountering and making ambiguous moral choices, fighting monsters — and sometimes brawling with other witchers to defend their school’s honor!

Pledges start at $86 for the core box and stretch goals.

 

Zodiac Mystic Signs – Minis & Paint

In this new adventure to finance the production of figures, Scale75 presents The 12 Signs of the Zodiac as they’ve never been seen before. A magical journey through different ethnicities and cultures where you can find warriors, sorceresses, wizards, and heroines. The perfect portrayal of the signs of the zodiac, the stars, and the four elements through wonderfully high-quality resin figures in two scales.

Pledges start at $15 for a 35mm scale miniature.
