After so many years, I become a designer and I start to get back into tabletop game from TV game and PC game. Dreadball fanatics is the one I like to play. It&#8217;s a really fun game, but I always feel some futuristic elements are missing, just like a watching a football game without beer. So I decide to design my own dice that can satisfied my desire and here comes the Space Roller.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kickstarter.com\/projects\/373390096\/treasure-chest-for-fantasy-coins-bars-dice-and-cou\"><strong>Treasure Chest<\/strong><\/a><br \/>\nThis is a lovely treasure box that I would love to keep my dice and tokens in.

An expedition to New Guinea. I took a little inspiration from Cannibal Holocaust, Lost, and H.P. Lovecraft.

They&#8217;ve always meant a great deal to me and with this die I wanted to pay tribute to the original photograph and those powerful words, the meaning they have for me and the importance of their overall message to our planet and us as a species.<\/p>\n<p>I chose a D6 die for this project to pay tribute to the record setting distance this photograph was taken from, 6 Billion Kilometers. Each of the six sides of the die counts out the number of heavenly bodies shown (Sun, earth, moon and other planets) and shows their path through the solar system.<\/p>\n<p>The #1 side depicts the original Voyager 1 photograph only showing the earth as a pale blue dot highlighted by rays of sunlight. &#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kickstarter.com\/projects\/1231173913\/the-thin-blue-line-a-detroit-police-story?ref=users\"><strong>The Thin Blue Line<\/strong><\/a><br \/>\nThis a modern horror campaign set in Detroit.

Paranormal activity is on the rise. An angry spirit, a dangerous creature, or a pack of desperate cultists hides under every sewer cover and within every abandoned building. Corktown has a secret, though. Its crew of supposed washouts are either psychics or have encountered the paranormal. The officers of Corktown Precinct stand between the city and paranormal onslaught. These damaged, over-worked, and under-paid officers must keep paranormal activity in Detroit under wraps and out of sight. No mean feat in a city as old, large, and haunted as Detroit. Corktown officers face constant threats from mundane crime, paranormal forces, as well as their inner demons and growing madness.<\/p>\n<p>Do they have what it takes? Can they stand against the growing threats, or will they be consumed, along with the city they guard?
