I ain’t buying it – like the idea; don’t have the dinero – but good golly but look at that crowdfunding well.
Turned it on yesterday, and they’re already 300% funded. Penny Arcade is kind of frightening, sometimes. In a good way, to be sure; but they are the Alpha Ultra-Ninja Grandmaster Flash Nerds, huh? – Said he, with pure admiring envy in his voice.
Well, dag. Guess I’m failing my Will Roll on this one…
It’s over tomorrow. I love the Widdershins webcomic and I would not mind in the slightest being in a position someday where I could be able to help adapt it for a RPG sourcebook. In the meantime, this is a cool project and Kate Ashwin gets these things out on time.
The Apocalypse Campaign Guide (Savage Worlds) looks righteous, and worth backing. I’ve tossed in. Check it out.
It’s a bit rich for my blood – sixty bucks for a board/card game about rival dark cults at the end of the world is a bit much, especially since I know that I won’t play it – but danged if it doesn’t look entertaining. They had a few copies at GenCon that promptly sold out, but the Kickstarter has already started:

The aesthetic is all very medieval metal, if that makes any sort of sense. The kind of artwork where you don’t bother with opening up any color tubes besides black and brown. But again, it looks fun.
I love this webcomic, and happily signed up for the Kickstarter.
Widdershins is 19th century (mostly) urban fantasy; I read it because of the… well, I read it because it’s a damn good webcomic in general, with characters who I like and care about on general principles. But the worldbuilding is nice, too. Kate Ashwin has apparently been known to throw down various polyhedral dice on occasion, in fact. Always nice to see somebody else from The Sodality doing well…
Already funded, which startled me.

…the digital files have dropped. Check your email account. The physical books are at the printers, so they should be toodling along at a near-future point.
Timewatch, for those who don’t remember, is a time travel RPG using GUMSHOE rules. It’s finally coming out, which is nice, because I’ve been looking forward to it. There’s a couple of things that I’d like to write for that particular game line…
As I’ve mentioned before The Sword Interval a really cool monster hunter webcomic which you should be reading and it’d be nice to get a physical copy of the book. Seriously, check it out. The world-building is quite good.
