When you play an H.P. Lovecraft inspired game, the chances of having the dice kill one of your characters is almost certain.<\/p>\n<p>For our GM, saying she thinks outside the box is an understatement; she destroys the box. It&#8217;s because of these classic critical failures during gameplay that much of her storytelling must go untold. Now, in an effort to give the fans more of the rich story that they have been craving and to give our GM the creative outlet she desires, we&#8217;re going to start releasing a series of comic books.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kickstarter.com\/projects\/toyvaultinc\/recall-of-cthulhu-a-childrens-memory-matching-game?ref=users\"><strong>Recall of Cthulhu<\/strong><\/a><br \/>\nThis game is super adorable and would be a great way to slowly infect your child&#8217;s mind with Cthulhu, making sure those seeds of madness are planted early!<br \/>\n<img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ksr-ugc.imgix.net\/assets\/004\/274\/145\/40dd9aa9523abba05b81e7782c1190a6_original.png?resize=414%2C378&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Recall of Cthulhu kawaii concept art\" width=\"414\" height=\"378\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Recall of Cthulhu presents the horrors of the mythos in a way they were meant to be &#8211; cute and cuddly! This classic matching game can be played by up to four of the most deranged patients in the Sanatorium, as well as young cultists aged 4 and up! The game can be played as a simple matching game, or the advanced game can be played which adds a small layer of complexity to the game.<\/p>\n<p>Included in the game are 60 tiles representing 15 creatures, items, and places of the Cthulhu Mythos, as well as two player aids for playing the advanced game. What better way of improving your memory for those dusty tomes of spells than a quick game of Recall of Cthulhu?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kickstarter.com\/projects\/36969846\/the-incredible-chemistry-set-0?ref=users\"><strong>The Incredible Chemistry Set<\/strong><\/a><br \/>\nI remember my chemistry professors reminiscing about the good old days when you bought a chemistry set and you could actually hurt yourself with what you got. Most sets you can get now involve safe experiments with little excitement. This deluxe kit gives you the resources to really understand and experiment. Plus it comes in a beautiful box.<br \/>\n<img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ksr-ugc.imgix.net\/assets\/004\/245\/233\/4f9b60de4e884a78c1d9eb337e74122b_original.JPG?resize=591%2C394&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Incredible Chemistry Set contents\" width=\"591\" height=\"394\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The Incredible Chemistry Set includes the glassware, chemicals, and lab apparatus necessary to perform the most interesting and exciting chemical reactions. We have spent months researching the most fascinating reactions to include in the set. All of this research has been compiled in our Experiments Book. This book includes procedures for 35 experiments. The set, along with the book, will enable you to carry out these experiments. Please keep in mind that some of the experiments require chemicals and items that cannot be shipped (such as dry ice, acid, strawberries, etc&#8230;) Also included in the set are selected physics experiments (magnetism &amp; electricity).<\/p>\n<p>Many chemistry sets fail to include exciting reactions. Our Experiments Book is packed with the best experiments that science has to offer. The book does not go into the same depth as other chemistry books, but rather provides simple, easy-to-follow instructions for performing each experiment.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kickstarter.com\/projects\/ferroflow\/ferroflow-automatic-ferrofluid-sculpture?ref=users\"><strong>Ferroflow &#8211; A ferrofluid sculpture<\/strong><\/a><br \/>\nI like pretty things that look cool, and this awesome desk sculpture definitely fits the bill.<br \/>\n<img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ksr-ugc.imgix.net\/assets\/004\/137\/442\/7c71b282da52e9c9a3243e9bc568f51d_original.gif?resize=480%2C270&#038;ssl=1\" width=\"480\" height=\"270\" alt=\"Ferrofluid sculpture demonstration\" class=\"aligncenter\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Every now and then you need a little distraction from staring at your monitor for hours on end, and Ferroflow is your answer!
