I’m reviewing my Polyhedral Pantheons material and building a deck of cards to help me actually apply the process a little more easily. I wanted to automate the card layout and construction as much as possible, so I’ll be creating XSL-FO files (to be converted to PDF) from text data …
It occurred to me today that with Links of the Week on hiatus I haven’t been posting much about Kickstarter projects that interest me. I decided to do a bit of catching up today. PURGE: Sins of Science- The 1st Real Time Strategy Card Game The Keep System for Game …
Monster Stock Art & Minis II I didn’t take advantage of Inkwell Ideas’ first Monster Stock Art & Minis Kickstarter, and I regret that sometimes. I like this project even better because it includes line art options for all monsters present. I have come to conclude that I actually tend …
Lupin the Third: The Expansion #1 I was fortunate enough that when I started delving into anime more deeply that Lupin III featured prominently (thanks Yumiko!). A board game that captures the feel and style of Lupin III? Oh yes, this would please me greatly. The rewards for this project …
Game Master’s Campaign – The Fantasy Art Kit I’ve backed art projects before. This one contains some lovely resources for top-down tokens and map elements, much better than average. I’d really like to get my hands on all of the art here, and there are some excellent pieces. If I …

RKDN Studios is working on a magic items supplement, The Reliquary, for 13th Age, Pathfinder, and Savage Worlds that aims to do better …
Game Grids This looks like a great idea for managing the table for certain games (Carassonne being the key one, obviously). Having had the table disturbed during a game can be immensely frustrating for tile-based games like this, and these grids are designed to prevent exactly that. Unlike another solution …
The Keep System for Game Storage and Travel Grumpy Owl Gamery’s first ‘Keep System’ project (I think I linked to it on this blog before) didn’t get funded. I think it was simply too ambitious. This looks much more realistic — still ambitious, but the goal is one-third the previous one …
PURGE: Sins of Science – The 1st Real Time Strategy Card Game I like strategic games and have been thinking about how it might be possible to implement such a thing as a card game. It looks like someone else has the same goal, so I plan to see how …
After the work I did on the node-based megadungeon, I think I’d like to take it for a test drive. I’ve wanted to try Blood & Treasure since I got my hands on it, so I think for the first pass at least that’s what we’ll do. I aim to …
