I&#8217;ve been fascinated by autumn and Halloween since the age of six. I discovered Lovecraft much later&#8230; and ever since, I have felt that cosmic horror was a natural fit for this time of year. Colorful falling leaves, crisp days, rainy afternoons and evenings. A time of endings and melancholy.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kickstarter.com\/projects\/1409961192\/fifty-fantastic-functions-for-the-d50\"><strong>Fifty Fantastic Functions for the d50<\/strong><\/a><br \/>\nIn case you ever decided your standard polyhedral set, you have a limited time to pick up a d50!

There\u2019s nothing more enjoyable in a game than that emotion when you\u2019re rolling the dice and you wait to see the outcome. This was a passion project, and you can help bring it to life if you like what you\u2019re seeing. A lot of effort, time and thought went into the design, and the math of the dice.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4>Still active!<\/h4>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kickstarter.com\/projects\/1464818793\/wurm-a-prehistoric-rpg?ref=users\"><strong>W\u00fcrm<\/strong><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.kickstarter.com\/projects\/mst3k\/bringbackmst3k?ref=users\"><strong>Bring Back MST3K<\/strong><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.kickstarter.com\/projects\/320402544\/leonardo-the-game-of-art-and-death-plague-edition?ref=users\"><strong>Leonardo<\/strong><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.kickstarter.com\/projects\/jellyfishart\/jellyfish-aquarium?ref=users\"><strong>Jellyfish Aquarium<\/strong><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.kickstarter.com\/projects\/461807648\/cthulhu-tales-storytelling-card-game-of-the-cthulh\"><strong>Cthulhu Tales<\/strong><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.kickstarter.com\/projects\/embersds\/yrisas-nightmare-an-rpg-adventure-for-pathfinder-a\"><strong>Yrisa&#8217;s Nightmare, A Pathfinder AP<\/strong><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.kickstarter.com\/projects\/1372946489\/luma-dice\"><strong>Luma Dice<\/strong><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.kickstarter.com\/projects\/arkhambazaar\/cthulhu-holiday-ornaments-lovecraft-horror-on-your\"><strong>Cthulhu Holiday Ornaments<\/strong><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.kickstarter.com\/projects\/maxtemkin\/secret-hitler?ref=users\"><strong>Secret Hitler<\/strong><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.kickstarter.com\/projects\/1298145716\/sly-flourishs-fantastic-locations?ref=users\"><strong>Sly Flourish&#8217;s Fantastic Locations<\/strong><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.kickstarter.com\/projects\/224590870\/runequest-classic-edition?ref=users\"><strong>Runequest: Classic Edition<\/strong><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.kickstarter.com\/projects\/1074438713\/unspoiled-podcast-laptop-christmas-miracle\"><strong>Unspoiled!
