The Sedefkar Simulacrum<\/strong><\/a>
\nJust imagine me sitting in front of you making grabby hands towards this. I’m currently running Horror on the Orient Express, and if we were playing in person I would have this at my table in a heart beat. It’s such a cool prop to have at your table, and I think it would really help bring that aspect of the game to life, much more then the cutouts you get in the box set.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

“The Sedefkar Simulacrum is a prop, licensed by Chaosium, for the Call of Cthulhu Campaign : Horror on the Orient Express. It is intended for keepers and gamers but we hope all Lovecraft enthusiasts and amateurs of weird artifacts will find it intriguing.<\/p>\n

The sculpture of the Sedefkar Simulacrum will be cast in polyurethane; when assembled, it will be 21 cm (8 inches) long. It will be composed of six parts (head, legs, arms and torso) that will be assembled with a clever magnetic system so when put together it will look like a reduced model of the real thing.<\/p>\n

After the sculpture is cast in Greece, it will be hand-painted by me – Delphes. Each sculpture will be one of a kind. Each will have its own signed and numbered certificate of authenticity.<\/p>\n

I have worked very hard to figure out how to paint The Simulacrum in a way that matches the description given in the books: a changing color “according to strength of the light bathing it”. As such, I will use a traditional technique where I apply successive layers of fine pigments. It increases the colors\u2019 effects in the patina, so that the material looks like metal and copper, wood and ceramic. With your investment you will get a unique artifact, hand made in a traditional way.”<\/p>\n

Part Time Gods: Fate Conversion<\/strong><\/a>
\nI heard Fandible play through Part Time Gods<\/a> and loved the idea of the game. I haven’t had a chance to play it yet, but they’re converting the game to Fate! I’m going to get the chance to interview the creator and others involved in the is project later this week, and I can’t wait to learn more about this. (It’s also Fandible’s Kickstarter pick of the month!)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

“Third Eye Games’ ground-breaking RPG Part-Time Gods was released in 2011: a game of balancing one’s mortal and divine life. Maintaining one’s human bonds and deciding how much to give in to one’s godhood are all strong themes running through the game, which is still one of Third Eye Games’ highest selling gamelines.<\/p>\n

In Part-Time Gods, you take on the role of brand new gods in our modern world today. The Source, theorized to be the creator of all things in the universe, was sealed away by the old gods who are now mostly dead and gone, but the entity no struggled in its cage and is trying to free itself. this has leaked its energy into our world and started creating hundreds of new gods, and even more monsters (called Outsiders) who are out for god’s blood. All of this, while you also attempt to maintain your normal life. Dealing too deep into your godhood forces you to cut ties with your human side, but clinging too closely limits your growth. It is a hard choice, but one every god must make.<\/p>\n

The original system was the DGS-Lite, which fully explored the themes and moods of the game, but we are also huge fans of the Fate System from Evil Hat Productions. With the help of Encoded Designs (Phil Vecchione, Chris Sneizak, Bob Everson, and Shawn Merwin) we’ve fully realized Part-Time Gods using the Fate Core system.”<\/p>\n

Saiqlo Dice<\/strong><\/a>
\nThese are some really pretty d6, and I haven’t seen any that look quite like them before. The project funded quickly, which is always a great sign!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

“While teaching English in Japan, I found some amazing beads and buttons in a shop. I found out that they were made by a small, family-owned company and contacted them. I wanted to know if they’d ever made dice! They said, no, but what a cool idea! It took a year to figure out how to do it. We hope you’ll agree that the results are spectacular! ”<\/p>\n

H.P. Lovecraft Literary Podcast Live<\/strong><\/a>
\nThis podcast is one of the best for just gaining a ton of knowledge on the Mythos, and they’re planning a live show!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

“The H.P. Lovecraft Literary Podcast (hppodcraft.com) has been running since 2009 and has done two very successful live shows. One in Leeds, West Yorkshire in 2012 and one at the NecronomiCon in Providence in 2013. Now that it’s 2015, we feel it’s about time to step up our game and do two live shows in one year! One in Providence, again at NecronomiCon and in Chicago, Illinois this October. And we need your help to do it!<\/p>\n

This Kickstarter is not just about live shows, we plan on doing audio recordings of these shows for all the folks that can’t make it. We’re also going to be trying out our Lovecraftian Comedy Quiz show as well. Trivia and comedy in one live event? YES!<\/p>\n

All audio will initially be exclusively for backers of this Kickstarter. So if you can’t make it to Providence, you can still be part of the fun!”<\/p>\n
