‘Obojima’, ‘Blue Rose’, And More Are Available At Backerkit’s Holiday Market

This week, we’re taking a look at Backerkit’s Holiday Market for a first-of-its-kind crowdfunding event. All of these games are ready to ship, making them perfect holiday presents or just great new additions to your game shelf. We’re celebrating creativity, community, and 100% human-made TTRPGs and board games that everyone on your list is sure to love.

Dr. Dhrolin’s Dictionary of Dinosaurs

If you or a loved one loves D&D and/or Pathfinder and dinosaurs (and who doesn’t?!), then Dr. Dhrolin’s Dictionary of Dinosaurs winter bundle is the perfect holiday gift. It includes a physical and PDF copy of the dictionary, 194 digital tokens, six battlemaps, and a fillable PDF character sheet – all for over $50 off.

Dr Dhrolin’s Dictionary of Dinosaurs allows you to add scientifically accurate prehistoric creatures, plants, and environments to your Dungeons & Dragons 5e roleplaying games. Written by palaeontologists, these reconstructions are based on real science and designed to be engaging encounters – not boring meat blocks. The book also includes a variety of fantasy rules, such as playable races, subclasses, items, backgrounds, mutations tables, taming rules, riding rules, and much more.

Nimble

Nimble is a fast, tactical, and 5E-compatible TTRPG! Are your game nights too precious to waste on slow, fiddly rules? These rules will slay the slog with elements that will empower players and GMs with more interesting choices, cut down on waiting, and increase fast-paced fun and epic storytelling.

Bonus: every order comes with ‘Meat! For the Crab King’ – a level five adventure.

Romantasy for the Holidays

For fans of both TTRPGs and romantasy, this is the game that will have you dancing in mysterious courts and smooching fae in no time. Of course, it’s not all romance. Players will also engage in adventure, diplomacy, and travel through magic and mysterious lands.

Aldis, the Sovereignty of the Blue Rose, shines as a new light in the world after the dark age of the Shadow Lords. Envoys of the Sovereign’s Finest strive to protect Aldis from threats like the Shadow-dominated land of Kern and the fanatical Theocracy of Jarzon, as well as corrupt monsters and artifacts left over from the devastating Shadow Wars. The peoples of Aldis—human, sea-folk, arcane vata, the doughty night people, and psychic, intelligent beasts known as the rhydan—unite in common cause.

Obojima

Obojima is a Studio Ghibli and Legend of Zelda inspired campaign setting for D&D 5E. Players will travel through breathtaking locations and encounter spirits, oddities, creatures, and people who are unforgettable and adventurous yet cozy. There are three bundles available that include the core rules, quick reference cards, art prints, and stickers.

Into the Dark Dungeon: Silver Mine

Into the Dark Dungeon is a dungeon-crawling tabletop game that allows you to play solo, cooperatively (with up to four players), or competitively. You’ll explore randomly generated dungeons, fight to survive, and hopefully complete your quest. And when you’re done, you can sell your loot and venture out on your next adventure! Everything you need is in one box.

Explore a dwarven silver mine that’s been taken over by goblins. Its labyrinthine halls are challenging to navigate. If you can navigate them, treasures and valuables await the daring.

One Card Maze

One Card Maze is a game that builds a maze full of twists and turns every time you flip over another card. Players will unlock doors and travel through a randomly growing maze. Of course, getting lost is part of the fun! This game sounds like it should be massive, but it’s meant to be small and portable, so you can play it anywhere and even take it on the go.

Apistocracy

Are you or someone you know a big Bridgerton or Gilded Age fan? This is perfect. Apistocracy welcomes you to the London social season, where you’ll make your debut, meet new acquaintances, accept invitations, and climb your way through your social ladder. Will you be the season favourite? Or will your social standing stall out?

Bundles include add-ons like a masquerade expansion, a handsome enamel pin, and a pack of historical parlor games.
