There’s many interesting items to be found on Kickstarter, but these are the coolest ones this week.<\/p>\n
HP Lovecraft Birthplace Marker<\/strong><\/a> “Over 125 years after the birth of famed author H.P. Lovecraft, there remains no permanent marker to note where he was born in Providence, Rhode Island. We’re here to change that – with help from YOU.<\/p>\n We, the Lovecraft Arts & Sciences Council (a federally recognized nonprofit educational organization) would like to place a really special marker to commemorate where it all began – literally, where the literary creator of Cthulhu, the Necronomicon, Nyarlathotep, and myriad other creatures of cosmic imagination, himself came into being.<\/p>\n H.P. Lovecraft, the “father of weird fiction” (a unique blend of horror, science fiction, and fantasy), is revered around the world as one of the 20th Century’s greatest writers of such imaginative fiction – and yet, in his own home town, there are few things to indicate he ever existed here.” <\/p>\n Weird War I<\/strong><\/a> “Things not of this earth crawl through the corpse-choked mud of Flanders. Shapes beyond imagining shamble in the murky chlorine clouds that drift across the Ypres battlefield. Scaled things rise from the dark waters of the Pripet Marshes. Long-dead remains of criminals executed by Romans claw their way toward a sun they haven\u2019t glimpsed in a thousand years. The world is at war…a war to end all wars.<\/p>\n Weird War I is the latest entry in Pinnacle Entertainment Group’s Weird Wars series. The Twilight Legion has so far marched across the battlefields of Rome, Vietnam, and World War II. Now our intrepid soldiers, sailors, airmen, and even civilians must endure the mud and trenches of what would become known as World War I.”<\/p>\n <\/p>\n OTS Sabers<\/strong><\/a> “I’ve been creating custom-designed LED sabers since April 2013. Over the past few years, my customer base has grown to the point where it is time to expand my product line for the customers who do not wish to wait for a 100% custom saber. However, I decided that if we do this, we will do it right. Too often, saber customers are limited by the style of hilts available and once they choose, they are locked in. So 18 months ago, I started developing something new; something different; something revolutionary. Now, it\u2019s a reality. Our goal is to raise the capital to expand our operations, hire personnel, get parts mass produced and set up a larger shop. This will allow us to provide saber enthusiasts, hobbyists, cosplayers, and duelists with an incredibly versatile line of sabers. I\u2019m proud and excited to present the HHCLS OTS Saber.<\/p>\n The OTS line of sabers is based on a patent pending independent chassis, which houses all of the electronics. The independent chassis allows you to utilize as many different OTS hilt pieces as you like to change the look of your saber on the fly. Using just the 40 currently available hilt and trim pieces, you can create over 800,000 different set-ups for your single saber and close to 3,000,000 possibilities for your double-bladed saber; that doesn\u2019t even include utilizing the coupler pieces to make extended hilts or doing your own customization.<\/p>\n Since your hilt pieces aren\u2019t tied to the electronics, you are free to use many different customization techniques like baked-on enamel, powder-coating, etching, leather-work, rubberizing, and more without fear of damaging your saber. I have created and posted tutorial videos on my YouTube channel that will allow you to truly create your own unique saber\u2026as it should be.”<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The ABC’s of RPGs<\/strong><\/a> “Welcome Guardians and Tiny Adventurers everywhere! Grab your Dice and LETS READ! I love reading books to my kid. However, I’ve had a hard time finding a book that will allow me to share my favorite hobby with my favorite person.<\/p>\n So after looking, I decided that if I couldn’t FIND a book that I wanted to read to my little Rogue, I would go out and MAKE one instead. That is when I met Caleb Cleveland and together we are excited to bring this project to you, here on Kickstarter. We want to offer a collection of Reading and Activities that the entire Adventuring Party can enjoy!”<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Epic Legacy<\/strong><\/a> “Epic Legacy contains everything players and Dungeon Masters need to add another 10 levels of adventure to their 5th Edition game in a gloriously-illustrated, thoroughly-tested, professionally-formatted book of more than 250 pages. We’ve expanded play at all stages from unique-but-thematic advancement of all twelve character classes up to 30th level and world-crushing monsters of legend, to suggestions and guides for telling an epic tale and seamlessly incorporating Epic progression into your personal game.”<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Apocalypse World, 2nd Edition<\/strong><\/a>
\nHP Lovecraft is one of the founders of weird fiction, and for all his faults, he has inspired many to delve the depths of their minds for the horrors that lurk there. Currently there aren’t many markers in his hometown, and this kickstarter is looking to change it.<\/p>\n
\n<\/p>\n
\nI haven’t played Savage Worlds before, but I really like the games I’ve played set during WWI. Bringing the weird and even more horror into the history of WWI looks very interesting, and I like that it continues stories from other scenarios in this series, like WWII, Vietnam, and the Roman legion.<\/p>\n
\nI don’t know many people who don’t want their own lightsaber. And with this you can build the lightsaber of your dreams. You can customize every single part of the lightsaber, from the chassis to the grip to the color of the blade.<\/p>\n
\nI’ve been stressed about huge life changes lately, and I’ve fallen to the new trend of coloring to help alleviate some of that stress. And it works. And I love that there’s now a RPG themed coloring book, I’m pretty sure it was designed with me in mind. This Kickstarter is for a book that details the ABC’s of RPGs (like ‘D is for Dice’) as well as an activity book that includes coloring and paper dolls. If you have kids who are interested in RPGs, or maybe just need to take a break, check this out.<\/p>\n
\nIf you’re reaching the zenith of what your characters can do in 5e and want to keep playing, this book can provide more options for both the players and the GM, including more monsters. You can have your PC train disciples, or create even more powerful spells.<\/p>\nStill active!<\/h4>\n
