What’s Cool on Kickstarter

Titus and Dronicus
Turning Titus Andronicus into two characters that are noir detectives investigating the crimes that occur throughout Shakespeare’s plays? Sign me up twice. The two main actors seem to be having a lot of fun with the concept. I can’t wait to see it.

“Titus and Dronicus is a web series about two private eyes – and best friends – who investigate crimes inspired by Shakespeare’s plays. Each season we dive deep into a different Shakespearean play, and discover insights, surprises and unexpected hilarity as we lovingly dismember some of the Bard’s most famous works. We are inspired by the crime noir Los Angeles of Raymond Chandler, and the coconut-clapping silliness of Monty Python, not to mention the larger-than-life ambition of Shakespeare himself.”

 

The Adventure Case
This is the most gorgeous gaming case I’ve seen so far on kickstarter. I love that there are even little lights that can be inside. I wish it was much cheaper though.

“Organize your gaming supplies in this high quality customizable case. This masterwork piece of hardware is designed specifically for the tabletop gamer – it acts as a dice box, rolling tray, storage area, and doubles as a screen for stealthy players and GMs that want to hide their dice rolls. It features elegant folding doors that stand the case up to be used as a rolling screen.

Our goal at Dog Might Games is to make the best quality gaming gear around. The Adventure Case has gone through nearly a year of prototyping and we are very proud to offer it to tabletop gamers everywhere.”

 

Elsinore: A Time Looping Game
Hamlet is my favorite of all Shakespeare’s plays, so a game where Ophelia is trapped trying to survive the play is something I’m in love with.

“Elsinore is an adventure game set for a 2016 release on PC, Mac and Linux. In Elsinore you play as Ophelia, a young noblewoman of Denmark, who awakes from a terrible vision: in four days, everyone in Elsinore Castle will be dead. To make matters worse, the vision has inexplicably thrown her into a time loop. Forced to relive the same four days over and over again, Ophelia must learn to survive in Elsinore, doing everything in her power to change the future.

Elsinore is a point-and-click adventure game with time loops; at its core, it’s Shakespeare meets Majora’s Mask/Groundhog Day. We’re experimenting with combining story-creation mechanics to produce something we feel is truly new.”
