Lovecraft and other Cthulhu Mythos authors. Just as Lovecraft\u2019s stories were about the intersection of cosmic terror and cutting-edge technology in the 1920s and 1930s, Delta Green is about that intersection today.<\/p>\n<p>In every game of Delta Green: The Role-Playing Game, agents investigate horrifying events, seek ways to thwart them, and try to save anyone else from being exposed. They face lethal threats and awful discoveries. To keep a low profile, they rarely have the resources they want. They often must make terrible choices for the greater good, as best they can perceive it. The longer an agent is active, the greater the toll those stresses take on the agent\u2019s health, sanity, career, and family.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kickstarter.com\/projects\/q-workshop\/pathfinder-and-q-workshop-metal-rpg-dice-set\"><strong>Pathfinder Metal Dice Set<\/strong><\/a><br \/>\nThese are some very pretty dice from one of the best companies in the business.

Over the course of three different generations of super-people, Halcyon City has seen it all.<\/p>\n<p>You play members of the fourth generation, young adults trying to figure out who they are and what kind of heroes they want to be. The rest of the world is telling them what to do, but they&#8217;ll find their own path amidst the noise. And kick some butt along the way. After all, what&#8217;s the point of being a hero if you can&#8217;t fight for the things you believe in?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kickstarter.com\/projects\/804370134\/cultists-and-cthulhu\"><strong>Cultists and Cthulhu<\/strong><\/a><br \/>\nThis is a game based on Flapjacks, but developed to take advantage of the nerd bacon that is Cthulhu.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ksr-ugc.imgix.net\/assets\/004\/600\/135\/0f0363ead0525db0f50cd465f6e0107c_original.jpg?resize=264%2C370&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Card with yog-sothoth that lets you start the next game\" width=\"264\" height=\"370\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Prolific Games has been around since 2008 with our most famous game being Flapjacks and Sasquatches*. We had some great ideas to change the game play of Flapjacks but decided our core fan base may not like changes in their favorite card game. So we decided to create a new game. Cultists &amp; Cthulhu** uses the same basic mechanics of Flapjacks with some changes. The biggest change is the Sacrifices. Sacrifices are cards that can be used to help complete your ritual by adding dice to your roll every turn or discarded (sacrificed) to get automatic successes.<\/p>\n<p>Why Cthulhu? We wanted to throw our hat in the Cthulhu ring but with the Prolific humor you all know and love. There are a bunch of Easter eggs in the game for those who are familiar with Lovecraft&#8217;s work. There are also images that we hope you all find laugh out loud worthy.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4>Still active!<\/h4>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kickstarter.com\/projects\/1709070121\/project-bombshell\"><strong>Project Bombshell<\/strong><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.kickstarter.com\/projects\/478361823\/galaxy-incorporated-rpg?ref=users\"><strong>Galaxy Incorporated RPG<\/strong><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.kickstarter.com\/projects\/fireandbone\/fire-and-bone-3-tiny-digitally-captured-metal-anim?ref=users\"><strong>Fire and Bone 3<\/strong><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.kickstarter.com\/projects\/45868819\/charm-city-blues-a-detective-noir-game?ref=users\"><strong>Charm City Blues: A Noir Game<\/strong><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.kickstarter.com\/projects\/1122788890\/lovecraftesque?ref=users\"><strong>Lovecraftesque<\/strong><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.kickstarter.com\/projects\/159974695\/bad-neighborhood-jigsaw-puzzle?ref=users\"><strong>Bad Neighborhood Jigsaw puzzle<\/strong><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.kickstarter.com\/projects\/golden-goblin-press\/tales-of-the-caribbean?ref=users\"><strong>Tales of the Caribbean<\/strong><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.kickstarter.com\/projects\/2025825791\/zucati-dice-plain-and-simple?ref=users\"><strong>Zucati Dice<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There&#8217;s many interesting items to be found on Kickstarter, and here are the coolest ones this week.
