First you sit down and build your world, then you destroy it. You tell the story of a hero who tries to save their home. But in Downfall, the hero fails.<\/p>\n<p>The game works in any kind of setting, from mythical fantasy to the real world to high-flying science fiction. It&#8217;s made to tell a whole story in a single 2-4 hour session and doesn&#8217;t require preparation, dice, or a GM. &#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kickstarter.com\/projects\/2004599158\/steampunk-militia-miniatures?ref=users\"><strong>Steampunk Militia Miniatures<\/strong><\/a><br \/>\nI really like the look of these miniatures, but we don&#8217;t play any steampunk games they&#8217;d be relevant for at the moment.

Nearly two years ago I ran my first Kickstarter campaign for a &#8220;Steampunk Army&#8221; and now comes the follow up &#8220;Steampunk Militia&#8221; campaign to complement the military figures with their civilian counterparts in the &#8220;Steam &amp; Aether&#8221; table top setting.<\/p>\n<p>As you can see below the, initial miniatures are already sculpted with the pre production painted masters shown. In each of my previous campaigns I have tried to avoid leaving to much ambiguity between the miniatures promised and the actual product you will receive, where possible I try to avoid relying on renders and &#8220;concept art&#8221;. Occasionally I will illustrate an idea using either but feel I have built up the reputation for delivering on promises by this stage that you won&#8217;t be disappointed.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kickstarter.com\/projects\/dancoleman\/dungeons-on-demand-volume-2-5e-dnd-dungeon-adventu?ref=users\"><strong>Dungeons on Demand 2<\/strong><\/a><br \/>\nYou can get some nice instant dungeons with traps, monsters and treasure all ready to drop on your players with little to no preparation.
