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

Rocket Ranchers Herding Cats in Space!

 

Rocket Ranchers is a set-collection game about collecting animals for your ranch using your dogship cards to “beam up” animals from various biomes across the planet. The collected animals will be placed in available pens on your ranch. Each pen can hold only one type of animal. The more of a single species you collect, the more profitable your ranch will be. Collect only a few of a species, and you might lose money.

While collecting animals, you’ll also encounter space cats, which will cling to some of the animals you collect. Collect one or a bunch to earn points. Collect a few or none, and you’ll lose points. At the end of the game, the player with the most points wins!

Trailblazer: The Arizona Trail

 

Travel the spectacular 800-mile-long Arizona Trail as you take in the sights and sounds of the mountains, canyons, plateaus, and deserts seeking out the amazing variety of wildlife such as the Roadrunner and Javelina, while avoiding the Gila Monster.

Players will call upon the legendary Jackalope and Lost Dutchman to aid in their travel. Turn order is determined for each round of travel and actions through a unique movement and observation mechanism.

Players will need to acquire an interesting blend of key Natural and Personal resources to obtain advantages and create their own mural of Arizona wonders through efficient placement of polyomino depictions. After 8 weeks/rounds of travel, the player who builds a reserve of the most Arizona Grit and Superstition Gold is declared … TRAILBLAZER

Metanthropes: Introductory Zine

 

Welcome to the heart of my passion, a journey five years in the making and the culmination of over two decades of storytelling. With Zine Quest 2024 I am given an opportunity to connect and introduce new players to my game: Metanthropes.

This is my love letter to tabletop role-playing games—the game I’ve always yearned to see on the bookshelf, the stories I’ve longed to tell. Alongside my brother, we set out to craft gaming experiences that ignite imagination and foster meaningful connections. 

We are blessed to have assembled an amazing team for this project. Legitamine Games proudly presents Metanthropes: Introductory Zine.

One For Sorrow: A 5e Campaign

In the heart of ancient forests, where shadows whisper and magpies watch, lies a tale of the unknown and the unfathomable. Dare to uncover the secrets of Thornborough.

An original eldritch adventure exploring themes of morality, truth, the rise of AI and late-stage capitalism through the lens of traditional fantasy. Everything in here is made by humans for humans.

Tabletop Gone Mad: No-Prep Fill-in-the-Blank TTRPG One-Shots

It’s the first time in months (or maybe ever) you’ve been able to get all your friends together to play a TTRPG. As any Game Master will tell you, running a customized one-shot is easier said than done, especially with groups with mixed experience.

Tabletop Gone Mad is a set of no-prep, customizable TTRPG adventures, powered by a streamlined d20 engine familiar to players of D&D 5e or other d20-based systems. In minutes, new and experienced players alike can create their own custom characters and scenario. Whether you’re just getting started or looking for a one-shot solution to game night, Tabletop Gone Mad is the perfect way to get the party going.
