There’s many interesting items to be found on Kickstarter, but these are the coolest ones this week.<\/p>\n
Constellation Dice<\/strong><\/a> “Glow in the dark Constellation Dice were designed last year and found encouraging success. It’s originality has been recognized by the world record holder dice collector Mr. Kevin Cook, and the project is going to be featured in the art photo book “Dice \u2013 Rendezvous with Randomness” by M\u00e5ns Danneman (to be soon published by \u00c5skf\u00e5geln). They are still in demand, but not many are left. This campaign will provide good company to your First Edition Ptolemaic Constellation Dice (Northern Sky), while offering new backers the chance to grab the very last available First Edition, along with all new designs.” City of Mist: A Noir RPG of Modern Day Legends<\/strong><\/a> “City of Mist is a tabletop role-playing game about ordinary people in a modern city becoming incarnations of myths and legends. Inspired by the film noir and detective comic book genres, the game focuses on your crew\u2019s search for answers in a city that seems to enshroud everything in false appearances as well as on the struggle between your character’s normal life and the legend growing inside her.<\/p>\n This campaign will help fund the creation of the full City of Mist game. If you have tried out our free Starter Set, you know that the core gameplay, graphic design, and some beautiful artwork are already done and published.”<\/p>\n Farflung: SciFi Role Play After Dark<\/strong><\/a> “We are pleased that you have come here. Let us tell you about your Farflung experience. It is a tabletop game about the ends of the universe, where nothing has been undone and everything is permitted. You will be one of the heroes who rages against the dying of the star-light. From transhuman zetta-tech androids, to the bewildered time-traveler who came to see new wonders, down to the humble robot who yearns for freedom, the only limits are your imagination.<\/p>\n Make your own stories in the mold of Babylon 5, Dancers at the End of Time, Doctor Who, Fifth Element, Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, Lexx, Torchwood, and other science-fiction of high concept and mature themes. While you revel in the absurdity of Futurama or Rick and Morty, take a moment to think about how you would feel in the same place. What adventures could you have with the Shapers, the Machinists, the Culture that have gone past simple concepts of gender, of race, of physical bodies, of time and space? Let us show you.”<\/p>\n Audio Game Hub<\/strong><\/a> “‘Nobody makes games for us.’ were the words that launched this collaborative project, aimed at bringing the fun of video games to the nearly 300 million visually impaired around the world, as well as the many more who want to play by sound rather than sight. Put simply, most of the games made for the visually impaired currently in the market are much more simple than traditional video games and unfortunately, many audio games are not as developed in terms of depth, diversity, multiplayer functionality or good replay-ability.<\/p>\n Clearly, there is a need and a responsibility to provide the visually impaired with richer gameplay than what is currently available. And this is where we come in to continue this good deed and expand on our original project. Here at Audio Game Hub, we believe games should be for everyone! We specialise in using sounds and music to create a world for our players to immerse in without any limitations.”<\/p>\n Grin: A Darker Age<\/strong><\/a> “Grin is a free survival-horror roleplaying system. The game is rules light and fits on a single page. No dice are used. Instead, the system uses a deck of standard playing cards, or our custom Grin Cards. This leads to immersive, fast paced, horror movie style gameplay. But beware, like a good slasher, ghost, or monster, film, Grin is deadly — most characters won’t make it through alive!”<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Clades: The Evolutionary Card Game<\/strong><\/a>
\nI love how clever these dice are, especially the Fate dice. The d6s all have different constellations on them, with the pips being the stars in the constellation. The Fate versions have a bright star in a series of stars, making a plus sign on two sides, that spans to another side with one of the points, creating the minus sign. There’s still the other stars that function as a normal d6 as well. Currently your other dice options are d10s with moons (the d10) or with the planets (including the sun and Pluto, and works as the d100). They’re looking at creating a full dice set though, so keep your eyes on this project.<\/p>\n

\nAser and I have been watching a lot of noir movies lately, and I love the idea of a modern supers noir game. Playing your own game based of Jessica Jones or Daredevil could be a lot of fun, and hopefully feature a lot fewer ninjas. It uses a hybrid system of Fate and Apocalypse World called Roll+Tags. Both of these systems are narrative focused and flexible, so I’m interested to see how they play together in this game. <\/p>\n
\nThis sci-fi games uses the Apocalypse Engine to for a game of exploration. There’s all kinds of playbook options, like simulacrums or uplifted animal for you to chose from. I really like the art, it’s unique and playful and is a little more pastel then I’m used to seeing in sci-fi art. If you are looking for a new option for space exploration, as well as self exploration, then you should look at this new option. <\/p>\n
\nThere aren’t a huge variety of audio games out there for visually impaired gamers to enjoy, and Audi Game Hub is looking to fix that. Pledging gives you access to the games they create, but you also get to vote on the games that you want to see them make. There’s also a Kickstarter exclusive game you will get. Currently the options include things like Minesweeper, Frogger, Road Race, Bowling, and Poker. The exclusive Kickstarter game is The Whispering Tunnels, which is an audio RPG. Gaming is something we love, and I assume since you’re here, you love it too, so check out this opportunity to bring it to more people. <\/p>\n
\nI love rules light games, especially when they’re horror games. Grin is currently available for free, so you can even try it out before pledging for this collection of 20 scenarios to play in. These include historical and modern games, and even one set of interwoven scenarios that have a decreasing number of players involved. I definitely want to try playing Grin now, and this seems like a great way to make sure the game keeps going. <\/p>\nStill active!<\/h4>\n
