Deck100<\/strong><\/a>
\nIf you’re tired of using dice (which I will never understand), Deck100 provides a new way for you to get a dice roll. You draw two cards – at the top of the first card is a dragon, and the color of that dragon indicates what column you use for your result on the second card. There’s also extra features on the bottom of the cards…but I still haven’t figured out what the Dragon icon means.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

“Yes, we know. Gamers love their dice, and we’re asking you to use something instead of dice. Well, we love dice too. Dice are special, and generate special results for us when the need is great, right? Well, cards can be just as special (an individual\u2019s Tarot deck is a very personal possession).<\/p>\n

Why would we ask you to cards instead of dice? I offer four good reasons by way of example: 1) these cards provide the same numerical results as dice but also create opportunities to impact a game in other, simultaneous ways, 2) sometimes you play RPGs in an environment not conducive to rolling dice and cards don’t spill as easily, 3) younger players who might be a bit, uh… exuberant with dice can more easily flip over a card, and 4) gamers love new mechanics and experimentation, so why be limited to dice?<\/p>\n

With the easy flip of a card you can generate a random result for any die from d100 to d2, including combinations of d6 results. Each of one hundred Deck100 cards has columns and rows for individual polyhedral dice results d20, d12, d10, d8, d6 and d4. Instead of merely replacing the function of dice in your RPG, Deck100 cards provide the same results as dice, but these cards augment this aspect of play in order to provide more options and opportunities for Gamemasters and players alike.”<\/p>\n

Narrative Encounters for FATE Accelerated<\/strong><\/a>
\nThese books offer quick encounters, loot, and monsters for your high fantasy game.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

“If you enjoy worlds of high fantasy, and if you appreciate the \u201cgrab-and-go\u201d qualities of a role-playing game like Fate Accelerated Edition, then rest assured Narrative Encounters will provide you with everything you need to play a game of swords and sorcery and without much preparation. That\u2019s because Narrative Encounters complete dramatic, cinematic scenes that give your players reasons to act and to interact with the world around them, and they\u2019re easy to jump into. Drop Narrative Encounters into your campaign for added flavor, use them as supplemental material for an existing scenario, play them out individually as stand-alone scenes, or use them as inspiration for fleshing out your own adventures.”<\/p>\n

Reliquary Redux<\/strong><\/a>
\nThese classic games are gorgeous. The board is etched leather and the markers are stone or wood.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

“After the success of the Reliquary Collection on Kickstarter, we set to work researching even more games that we could add to this collection! We\u2019re back with 6 classic games that you already know and love! We just had to “Bibelot-tize” these definitive games to add luxury, durability, and portability. *smiles* They are hand-crafted and LASER etched on our hallmark suede leather pouches with real marble pieces and natural wood dice. And instead of paper rule books that can get lost or damaged, we’ve accented them with amazing black metal tags displaying the name of the game on the front, and a QR code (and the hyperlink text) to the rules on the back. Just scan the code, or enter the hyperlink into a browser, and you’ll be able to access the rules, with variations and history of the game, anywhere!”<\/p>\n

Littlest Lovecraft: The Shadow Over Innsmouth<\/strong><\/a>
\nDo you want a cute picture book of The Shadow Over Innsmouth? Now’s your chance!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

“Hey everyone! We\u2019re back again with our new Littlest Lovecraft book – this time it\u2019s an adaptation of The Shadow Over Innsmouth (one of our all-time favorite Lovecraft stories!). As always, it will be a full color, fully illustrated book, written in verse, right around 64 pages long. We\u2019re starting off aiming for softcover, perfect bound printed books, but our first stretch goal is to upgrade to the matte hardcover we\u2019re so fond of!”<\/p>\n
