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

Inevitable – RPG

 

Inevitable is a new roleplaying game system from SoulMuppet Publishing, the creators and publishers behind Orbital Blues, Best Left Buried, Stygian Library and dozens of other RPG systems and adventures. The book is a focused system for a play-to-lose Arthurian Western campaign. But what does this mean?

  • Arthurian: Sad knights. A king who is doing his best (but badly). Foolish virtue quests doomed to fail. Women in lakes.
  • Western: Sweeping deserts. Dusty heroes wearing big boots, bigger hats. Can of beans cooked on a campfire. Six shooters.
  • Play-To-Lose: Your kingdom is going to be destroyed. It is inevitable. Play to find out how, but there’s no way to win.

Antique Houses – STL

28 mm for 3D printing of various areas – games, decorations, etc. Each model is cut and exported to STL format. Each part has been corrected for various errors and is ready for printing.

  • 28mm scale – can be scaled up or down easily
  • Parts fit on standard FDM printers with space to spare (Ender 3, Prusa MK3S, etc)
  • Great attention to detail and architecture
  • Easy for beginners to print
  • Pegs for alignment and fitting parts together

Weirdwood Manor

 

Enter the magical world of Weirdwood Manor, where the mysterious and dangerous realm of the Fae intersects with the everyday world of the Real. You’ll cooperate to battle against time and 1 of 3 asymmetrically designed evil monsters from the Fae and their insidious minions, the Clockwork Scarabs, who have invaded the Manor.

The Army of the Dead – STL & Resin Minis

 

Every component is carefully sculpted to evoke the look of hand-sculpted miniatures.  Components are thick and chunky to avoid breaking on the gaming table.  These are not just display pieces – these miniatures will stand up to the rigors of transport to and from the gaming club and the many perils of the tabletop! No more snapped spears!

For backers without resin printers, I will also provide physical miniatures printed in high-quality resin delivered right from my workshop to your door!

Heavy Gear 4th Edition – RPG

 

This week’s header image is from this campaign.

Heavy Gear is a science fiction franchise produced by Dream Pod 9. The first edition of the beloved roleplaying game debuted in 1995.

Heavy Gear has always been noteworthy for its focus on geo-political landscapes, interpersonal drama, the politics within nations and the inevitable debris such concerns leave behind. All of this to the backdrop of a hard science fiction military universe. Major battles and world wars play out alongside stories about life in the various nations. All aspects of the world are as fleshed out as the military aspects viewers would expect from a military-themed world. 

Dwarf Army – STL

The dwarven kingdoms have rallied for war! The Thanes have called upon their warriors and the clans march to protect their homes from the enemy. Strong, smart and resolute, the armies of the dwarves will bring honor and glory to their people!

All miniatures come pre-supported and ready to print, paint and play! The only thing left to you is the printing itself. You’ll have to set the appropriate printing parameters depending on your 3D printer, as well as cure and clean the models yourself once printed. After that, they are yours to paint, base and play!
