Dagon by HP Lovecraft and Ben Templesmith<\/strong><\/a>
\nThe art in this book is what attracted me to it initially, and I still think it looks gorgeous. I would love to have this book on my coffee table or somewhere to peruse at length.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

“DAGON is a short story written by H.P. Lovecraft in July 1917 and one of his earliest published works. The story is the testament of a tortured, morphine-addicted man who plans to commit suicide over an incident that occurred early on in World War I when he was a merchant marine officer. It’s an amazingly powerful and visceral story whose concepts and creatures directly connect to Lovecraft\u2019s later and far more famous Cthulhu works.<\/p>\n

DAGON will be adapted and drawn by Ben Templesmith, New York Times best selling comic book artist who is Co-Creator of 30 DAYS OF NIGHT with Steve Niles and FELL with Warren Ellis, as well as Creator of WORMWOOD: GENTLEMAN CORPSE, THE SQUIDDER, and WELCOME TO HOXFORD. This story has preoccupied and haunted Ben since he first read it 20 plus years ago, a time before he\u2019d published any of his own work or knew that he ever would”<\/p>\n

Board Games for Troops Overseas<\/strong><\/a>
\nA lot of the cast we have on TRF is in the military, and this Kickstarter will help those overseas have some board games to fill in their spare time.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

“I am currently stationed in Okinawa, Japan, a place were low ranking military members are not allowed to own cars or drive and must either pay cab fares to get into town or resort to entertainment found on base. This can get quite costly so most do not leave the base during the week and are limited to the entertainment found on the base.<\/p>\n

My goal for this fundraiser is generate enough money to buy and maintain three current, diverse board game library that I can provide at three local military bases in order to provide another source of entertainment to those lower income, restricted service members.”<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Dynamic Colored X-Wing\/Attack Wing Template Sets<\/strong><\/a>
\nThis Kickstarter helps you bring more fun and color to your X-Wing or Attack Wing miniature games.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

“As you can see want to bring you the best in gaming accessories. We want to provide the best gaming templates out there. So we are bringing you Full Color Gaming templates. These templates will have full color dioramas with laser cut\/engraved numbers and feature. They will also have velvet backing to protect the images and prevent slipping while in play.”<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Dice Day Monthly: Unique RPG Dice to your Door<\/strong><\/a>
\nI have a couple monthly subscriptions and it’s always exciting to get that box, open it up, and see what new thing you’ve gotten. Now there’s an option to get new dice this way!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

“Goal: To deliver you unique dice each month. Yes, we keep track of which dice you receive each month, insuring you will never receive the same dice twice.<\/p>\n

You should also not receive the same dice as your friends or many other backers, as we will choose from hundreds of unique dice sets each month. Although it would still be wise to tell your friends to back the project as well so you have the ability to trade each month!”<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Boss Fight: Hand-printed Video Game Posters<\/strong><\/a>
\nI wasn’t allowed to play video games when I was growing up, but some things are just so much a part of popular culture you can’t help but know about them. Theses prints would look great in any gamer’s home and celebrate the greats among classic boss fights.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

“This project consists of three illustrations that recreate the nervous excitement that meant reaching a game’s hard earned final moments. A testament to the hours spent building skills, solving puzzles and defeating all the minions that stood in your way towards the game’s final confrontation.
\nThe Boss Fight!
\nA tense and beloved moment shared by everyone who had the determination to see a game to it’s triumphant, visceral end. Boss Fights were a big deal. So much larger than what a dozen flickering pixels could ever represent, this art project hopes to interpret and capture that fleeting feeling and make it physical.”<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Scavengers<\/strong><\/a>
\nThis RPG lets you play as scavengers, finding space hulks, and clearing out all the loot you possibly can.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

“Scavengers is a fast-paced, good-humored roleplaying game about space salvagers trying to get rich during the turmoil of galactic war. Here at Metal Weave Games, we want to raise enough funds to publish both a print and digital version of Scavengers, with enough high-quality art to make the game world come alive.”<\/p>\n
