Play God, Join The Revolution, Become A Superhero, And Much More On Kickstarter
This week’s Kickstarter roundup includes a cyberpunk ancient Rome, a game that encourages you to play god, and much more.
Come check out this week’s batch of crowdfunding and Kickstarter highlights – including board games, card games, RPGs, and STLs!
Blades ’86
Blades in the Dark is back with a new playbook full of more modern gameplay, new crews, factions, and heists. This has been a popular TTRPG for years. And this edition brings the same gameplay to a setting that many of us may know a little bit better.
New playbooks, revolutionary crews, fresh factions and daring heists await you on the vibrant streets of Doskvol in this official 450-page expansion from the subversive mind of Tim Denee (Deathmatch Island).
AdvertisementIt’s time to get groovy, it’s time to get dangerous, it’s time to get weird with Blades ’68. In Blades ’68 you’ll take on the role of Radicals, Swingers, Intellectuals and Paranomalists. You’ll join forces with hard-bitten fixers, ex-military Veterans, shadowy Operatives, and outcast souls sealed inside a robot body. Put those PCs together into new Crews like the revolutionary Militants, thrill-seeking Racers, or the mysterious esoteric cult of the Utopians.
Ludos
Lemery Games has handpicked some of their favorite games from around the world and released them for widespread play and appreciation by everyone. This campaign effectively adds ten games to your collection. All while also donating to to underrepresented schools and communities.
Over 10 different ways to play, including the traditional rules and variants that emerged throughout history.
Almighty: The Godliest God Game
This game will let you play god, but in a mostly harmless way. Create new mortals, bless or curse them, and generally move them around the map and see what they’ll do. Will they give in to temptation, or add to the belief you have? Almighty has solo and cooperative modes.
If you like ancient mythology, games with emergent narratives, asymmetric area control, clever card play combos, and feeling godlike as heck, then let’s hang out. Also, you’ll probably like this game!
NPC Rivals
Pick your NPC, build your deck, complete quests, and see which NPC is truly meant to be the main character’s favorite. Sometimes the main character of your story is the side character in everyone else’s. and NPC Rivals is a game that makes that exact trope into a fun, silly card game.
NPC Rivals is a fast paced deck building card game. Battle it out to complete quests before your rival NPCs! Adapt to a constantly shifting marketplace as you refine your deck. Quests are completed by collecting the exact mix of Heroes, Monsters, Loot, and Action Cards you need. Only one NPC can be crowned the champion!
Mutants & Masterminds, 4th Edition
Another popular game returning with a new edition, Mutants and Masterminds, is one of the biggest TTRPGs to bring superheroes and villains to your game table. Players can make their own hero and begin saving the world with little more than a D20. In addition to the Kickstarter, there are preview PDFs available to check out.
Mutants & Masterminds 4th Edition is the superhero TTRPG you need in your life! Make the hero you always wanted to play with its powerful character creation system, resolve any action with a single d20, and use Hero Points and Extra Effort to push your character and the story to new heights. Safeguard the world from diabolical super-villains, alien invasions, rampaging monsters, would-be conquerors, and more sinister schemers. Now is a time for heroes!
Tiberpunk: Streets of Rome
Mixing ancient Rome with futuristic technology, Tiberpunk brings players to 109 AD. Only in this timeline an alien spacecraft crashed nearby and now there are all sorts of cyberpunk implants, drones, hacking, and tech. Players embark on quests through three stages of storytelling as they smuggle, bribe, and hack their way to power.
Welcome to Tiberpunk, the competitive strategy board game set in Cyberpunk Rome! In the race to become the boss of Rome’s underworld, take on missions, face tense dice challenges, and balance risk with smart strategic decisions.
