This Week On Kickstarter…
Welcome! You are now able to follow community member @fishman, our Kickstarter bloodhound, as he picks out some great projects for you to check out throughout the week.
You'll be able to keep up-to-date with the latest Kickstarters and comment on what we should be looking out for and of course let us know what you make of the campaigns as they are added.
Follow along and let us know what you think...
Blogging At This Event:
Dark Masts - A Dead Sea Game
Recruit your crew, gather resources to equip them and set sail on the Dead Sea as a dread Ship's Captain.
Encounter sea monsters and other crews and fight to survive to return alive to port. It will be no pleasure cruise, so do you have what it takes?
Wander - The Cult of Barnacle Bay.
The citizens of Barnacle Bay were a quite, peaceful community. But things have changed. A strange cult has arrived and it appears they have taken over.
The Wanderers Guild has hired you and your companions to travel to Barnacle Bay and find out what is happening and prevent the Cult of the Deep from completing its dastardly plan.
By defeating each cultist, you and the heroes accompanying you gain abilities, but you also attract unfriendly attention from other cultists. So tread carefully and use some strategy when you are planning who to challenge next.
As you get deeper into the village, the opponents get tougher and you will have to be strong to survive to take on and defeat the Elder Bane who is at the head of the Cult and the cause of all the fuss.
The Tome of the Owlbear
The Owlbear has returned to the deep reaches of the caverns of Kickstarter, bringing with it a magical box. When the box is opened, there is space inside for all your magical and blessed gaming items. And the lids are compartmentalised so that during your adventures you can keep everything neat and tidy, and well within reach for those sudden encounters in which you need to reach for your Dice of Slaying in a hurry!
Get down there and wrestle your magical Tome off the Owlbear now!
Halfling Fantasy Footbal team
Rolljordan is back in the stadium, bringing with them a highly trained team of Stunties. Treemen and halflings to take on the toughest opponents and bring you glory as you hold high the Season trophy! At least, that is the plan...
Starship - 3d printable OpenLOCK-compatible Deck Plans
Whether you play 40k, Infinity, Space Hulk or Star Wars or any other sci fi game, this set of 3D files will be a great addition to your 3D print file library.
Historical 3D Print Files for French Indian War to the War of Independence
For some great Early Settlement American/Canadian scenic elements, this Kickstarter has some fantastic buildings, which could easily crop up in any fantasy styled setting also. With a heap of stretch goals already unlocked, the Fort William Henry files are next up and look at the size of that sucker!
Sic Creations Inc. Terrain & Table top Accessories
Does your hobby area resemble a disaster zone? Are you sick of not being able to find what you need when you want it? This range of organisers is available in wood or painted finish and will be the soltuion to your problems. In various sizes, give your paints, brushes, glue pots etc somewhere to live. Also available is a cork stand for holding those WIP models.
A range of scatter terrain hills is also available.
Adventurescape Terrain and Scenery
These 3 scenery kits give some great terrain layouts and scenery. Featuring a tavern kitchen, a docks area and an alchemist chamber, there are all sorts of wonderful possibilities with this collection.
The dock area features alot of scatter terrain in the form of barrels, boxes and other cargo, a nice little cargo crane that turns and a small raft. All of this and a 4x4ft water gaming mat.
The Kitchen has foodstuff, barrels, fireplace and a nice little brazier, along with a cellar door tile.
The Alchemist room features a potion pool and distillery, a lot of potion making paraphernalia and four pillars of the Elements.
If you were looking for something to jazz up your table, this is just the thing!
Viral Outbreak Miniatures
Virus. Not even a true organism in its own right. Uses a host DNA to replicate itself. So how can this be the greatest threat to Humanities survival? The least advanced life form conquering the most advanced?
When the Outbreak comes, will you be prepared?
Designed for Pandemic but perfect for any post-apocalyptic scenario you might be able to envision.
Werebeasts
The Werebeasts are on the prowl and it is your job, as a werebeast catcher, to lure all of one type into your hand. Collect them and you win, but your rival catchers will also be trying to collect theirs and prevent you getting yours. Deception and tactics will win you the game!
The Chicken Devourers Halfling Fantasy football.
Another lovely Football team has come to kick off their season. This lot may be a little on the chubby side, it comes from all those 2nd breakfasts, and they apparently are on a high protein diet.
This is the first team fielded by Star Player Miniatures on kickstarter, but they have a few more in their shop, discounted for the duration of the kickstarter.
Evo-T Sci-Fi Models
Some 1/100 sci fi vehicles to bring some variety to your smaller scale wargames. (1/100 about equivalent to 10mm)
Tanks, armoured vehicles and flyers make a nice little collection, Highly detailed and cast in resin, these should be great to paint.
HEADS UP: THIS KICKSTARTER HAS A UNIQUE MODEL, A ONE OF A KIND, ONLY ONE IN THE WORLD. For your opportunity to own it, you have to be the first to pledge...

...who will be the lucky one that will take it?"
I note you haven’t posted about Monolith’s Conan:Book of Sett KS.
Don’t bother, it was such limited availability it was over before most backers of the previous Conan were notified it’d started! The Conan comments section is currently aflame with pi$$ed off loyal backers (such as myself)… and after I’d posted such nice comments about them over the weekend.
Nice way to build up momentum before their next KS, JoA; although it’s probably not the momentum they intended.
It also means your banner ad for the last few days is also redundant!
OK – so latest update. Monolith (Not Mythic – I realise my mistake) have updated the project with a wave 2 of new reward options of more books to be sent as rewards in February after a re-print.
At least they’re responsive, but why they hadn’t anticipated this I don’t know.
Salty McSalterson
@coxjul As regards the banner thread being redundant. I am doing this voluntarily. I have to eat. Each of the entries requires me to learn about the campaign, download and re-work the pictures, many of which are from campaign videos which requires starting, pausing and capturing the image. Then I have to do the write up and upload the pictures. I had a break from work a few weeks back and found I was spending all my time uploading trying to keep up. Now I am back at work and have a choice, keep up with some of the starters,… Read more »
The Forge Print Adventurescapes KS has a timed EB for five more days (as of this post)!
$65 EB / $75 gets you 88-100+ pieces per set: Docks, Tavern, and Alchemist’s Dungeon Lair. Docks come with 4×4 game mat.
Thank you so much for these continued updates @fishman
I genuinely find them to be an awesome way to ensure I’m not missing anything on KS <3
Az
The is also another miniatures Kickstarter for Chronicles that has been out for a week that you might want to add to this post. It is a fantasy miniatures game with a few interesting rules and methods for determining battle outcomes.
I have really come to rely on your updates. Keep up the great work. It’s much appreciated by those of us not needing to vent our issues on here…..although my wallet may not agree !!! Many thanks for the hard work.
