RPG Pencil Dice<\/strong><\/a>
\nI know, I hear you saying “Megan you posted pencil dice like two weeks ago.” These are different! Well, you can still get pencils that will function as a d6, but these also let you roll class and race, hit location, magic answer, direction, treasure, and alignment.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

“With the success of Pencil Dice, we asked you the BACKERS, what you would like to see, and RPG PENCIL DICE were born.<\/p>\n

When you are playing a tabletop RPGs, you have to make a lot of decisions, and some of them are pretty tough. So why not have a few RPG PENCIL DICE hanging around that help you with snap decisions. ”<\/p>\n

Entropy: Thematic Fast Paced Game of Risk and Deception<\/strong><\/a>
\nOnce again, the artwork is what caught my eye for this game. I think it’s stunning. The game also looks interesting, with lots of chances to screw over your opponents.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

“Five parallel worlds have collided and you play as one of five characters jettisoned from their world into a place called the Nexus. Through the use of unique character abilities and special actions, players must find fragments of their reality and be the first to piece them back together in order to find their way home.
\nEntropy is a fast-paced competitive card game of risk and deception, combining simultaneous action selection mechanics with order resolution.”<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Halfsies Dice<\/strong><\/a>
\nDice! That’s pretty much all that’s needed to make me look at a Kickstarter, and these are very pretty. They have a ton of colors they’re working to unlock as stretch goals.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

“These all-new dual-colored dice feature one color on one half, and another color on the other half, with a smooth blend where the colors meet. Aesthetically pleasing and well balanced, these dice will make a great addition to any collection.<\/p>\n

All Halfsies Dice are two-toned, semi-translucent, have a pearlescent swirl effect, and are professionally manufactured in high impact resin with smooth corners for a clean and balanced roll every time.”<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Beam: The Smart Projector<\/strong><\/a>
\nI’ve always loved the idea of using a projector to make a map to play on in tabletop games. This one is small and just screws into a light socket. Too bad I can’t afford it and play most of my games online!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

“Beam can turn any flat surface into a big screen. It is a powerful projector equipped with a smart computer, all inside a beautifully designed casing.<\/p>\n

You can play games, watch movies or share content from your smartphone or tablet. Beam will assist you in your daily activities, like wake you up in the morning with the latest news and your agenda or show you your social updates when you come home.<\/p>\n

Beam is easy to set up and control with the Apple or Android app. You can screw it into any light socket or use the included power cable to place it on any flat surface.”<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

DEAD SCARE: An RPG of Blood Splattered White Picket Fences<\/strong><\/a>
\nIn this RPG you play as the women and children of the 1950’s, defending your home and surviving the zombie apocalypse. And one of the stretch goals is a postcard story written by Shanna Germain – co-creator of the Cypher System. I like that this game limits the PC options to women and children and forces creativity in defending what’s theirs.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

“It’s 1953 and the United States is under siege.You, your family, your neighbors, and your friends have to fight the shambling dead as they trample your begonias and drag ichor all over your new front porch. They’re clawing at the door, and it’s not just because they want your apple pie recipe.<\/p>\n

DEAD SCARE is a tabletop roleplaying game that explores an alternate United States in the early 1950s. It’s Powered by the Apocalypse and combines subverted 1950s American idealism with a blood-spattered zombie apocalypse.<\/p>\n

It began when President Truman was the first public target of a Russian bio-weapon the Russkies designed to turn people into flesh-eating zombies. Everyone watched it on TV that night, and nothing in the good ol’ US of A will be the same ever again.”<\/p>\n
