No Thank You, Evil!
No Thank You, Evil! is the newest game from Monte Cook Games, which also makes TRF favorites Numenera and The Strange. This game is for families, and is designed for kids of various age ranges to play together, and even for older kids to run on their own! MCG put a lot of time and energy into making sure this game was accessible to players with color-blindness, autism, visual impairments, and dyslexia. The art is diverse and fun. Products like this almost make me wish I wanted to have kids. Instead I think I’ll play it with my eventual nieces and nephews (get to work siblings!) I can’t wait to get my copy!
“No Thank You, Evil! is tabletop game of creative make-believe, adventure, and storytelling. In No Thank You, Evil!, each player creates a character based on a couple of cool, descriptive, imagination-firing traits. The Guide (a special role often played by a parent or older sibling) presents a dilemma, and the players set off on an adventure of the imagination. Along the way they use their character’s special skills, companions, and equipment to overcome obstacles—perhaps fighting a slime monster, winning over the suspicious mayor, or beating a rabbit at a race.
Whereas conventional board games constrain players’ actions, No Thank You, Evil! sets kids’ imaginations free: Their options are limited only by what they can think up. Together, the players create a story as they work together to make their way through the adventure!”
Terralith Organic Metal Dice

Crestfallen RPG
Crestfallen is a a new RPG setting for FATE. We haven’t managed to play a lot of games in this system yet, but what we have managed has been a lot of fun. This setting is interesting and pretty different from a lot of what I’ve seen out there. I really like the idea of the mortals fighting to keep their world from being torn apart by the gods. A lot of time and research has gone into making this setting amazing, and I think it’s going to live up to the promise.
“Crestfallen is a bronze age fantasy roleplaying game, set in a world of gods, spirits and wild places. It uses the Fate Core rpg system, and is written by Dan Hiscutt. It contains everything you need to play.
You play heroes struggling to survive in a hostile environment, the natural world is unravelling and trying to kill you. The Gods may help you, or use you as a pawn in their schemes. Your friends may help you, or pull you deeper into trouble. The spirit world may help you, or it’s inhabitants might possess you and take your body for a joyride.
Crestfallen is the result of over 15 years of historical research, it has a mythology crafted with real passion, and a worldwide fanbase that has been accumulating since the late ’90s. It’s 280+ pages of awesome.”
Calamityware Dinner Plate 6
This is the 6th plate in the series, now featuring volcanoes!
“Say goodbye to boredom. You and your guests deserve more excitement. Nothing adds excitement like an active volcano and a river of burning lava. Imagine finishing your meal and finding this marvel behind your lasagna!”
Tinker Dice II
If you love steampunk, gears, and screws, this dice set is for you!
“Once upon a time, Tinker Dice were proposed steampunk-themed custom plastic dice. That campaign didn’t get enough traction to fund, so the Tinker Dice designs were resurrected in metal. They proved to be more popular, largely because metal dice are really cool, but we still want to make the designs available in plastic. We can do more with color using plastics, and the dice won’t be as rough on your table.”
