Blogging At This Event:
Dinosaur Island: Back from Extinction
Dinosaur Island is a hot new game from designers Jonathan Gilmour (Dead of Winter) and Brian Lewis; from Pandasaurus Games with amazing, technicolor, ridiculously 90s artwork from Kwanchai Moriya and Peter Wocken.
1-4 Players; 60-150 minutes (scalable length regardless of player count), ages 10+
In Dinosaur Island, players will have to collect DNA, research the DNA sequences of extinct dinosaur species and then combine the ancient DNA in the correct sequence to bring these prehistoric creatures back to life.
Dino cooking! All players will compete to build the most thrilling park each season, and then work to attract (and keep alive!) the most guests each season that the park opens. Do you go big and create a pack of Velociraptors? They'll definitely excite potential guests... but you better make a large enough enclosure for them. And maybe hire some (read: a lot of) security.
Or they WILL break out and start eating your guests—and we all know how that ends. You could play it safe and grow a bunch of herbivores... but then you aren't going to have the most exciting park in the world (sad face). So maybe buy a roller coaster or two to try and attract guests to your park the good old fashioned way?
Forest of Oakenspire - 3D Printable Tabletop Models
Welcome to our first Kickstarter! This project aims to bring a brand-new, uniquely-themed set of 3D models, and other resources, to your gaming tabletop to inspire your players, and drive countless hours of adventure.
There are two main categories for this project: the tree strongholds of Oakenspire (with multiple levels of playable space and secrets to discover), and modular airships you can customize for various encounters among the trees–or anywhere else!
Additionally, there will be supplemental content to help spur your imagination, including a PDF with adventure hooks and encounter ideas, along with unique, 2D-printable battle maps that coordinate with the 3D printed components!
Dragon Keepers By Vital Lacerda & Catarina Lacerda
Dragon Keepers is a game representing a battle between two forces. The first is a group of evil hunters who want to destroy dragons for trophies and fame.
The other group is the heroic dragon keepers who protect the dragons. Each player represents the chief of a specific tribe of dragon keepers who will defend the dragons from attacks by the evil hunters.
True Messiah, A Game Of Cult Warfare
Years ago, scientists constructed the Belief Engine, a machine that warps reality to match peoples’ most strongly held beliefs. The machine was turned on for testing, but it proved too sensitive: widespread belief in the depravity of man and imminent social collapse suddenly took on the full force of objective fact. Without resort to a shared external reality, civilization crumbled like a sand castle in the tide.
From the ruins have now arisen cults led by charismatic figures possessed of seemingly divine powers derived from the still-functioning Engine. You are one such a figure—the true one, the Messiah. It is God’s will that you build temples and marshal followers, then mold their beliefs to perform miracles and destroy your rivals. They’ll be doing the same, but don’t worry–God is on your side…
0-hr: Starship Maps & Miniatures
The goal of this 12-day campaign is to reprint some of the ships from the early days of the Armada. The initial goal will reprint the Clydesdale, Mourning Wolf, and Venture posters.
Higher funding levels will unlock the Grendel, Cygnus, and Grphyon posters* for purchase as well. Prices are substantially lower than retail and include free links to valuable digital products as well.
Agents of A.A.R.F, Vol. 1: A PF/5E Compatible Adventure Path
Agents of A.A.R.F is a 5E/Pathfinder compatible Adventure Path set on the continent of Layna, a land of seven competing realms inhabited by Hybrids, races fused from a genetic mixture of animals and humans.
This is the first published adventure path in the Anthro-Adventures series, a Pathfinder campaign setting that was successfully funded last year and in the process of being converted to 5e right now. If you backed either of those Kickstarters you will recieve the digital version of Agents of A.A.R.F. Vol. 1 as part of your support, and you only need to back here if you want a physical copy.
3D Printable Snow Scenery
3D printable (STL Files) snow scenery for your 3D home printer!
Architects Of The West Kingdom
The aim of Architects of the West Kingdom is to be the player with the most Victory Points (VP) at the game’s end. Points are gained by constructing various Buildings and advancing work on the Cathedral. Throughout the game, players will need to make a lot of moral decisions.
However, only at the game’s end will their virtue be judged. A few underhanded deals here and there might not seem like much, but fall too far and you will be punished. The game ends once a set number of constructions have been completed.
The Dinosaur Protocol (For Savage Worlds)
Written for the award-winning Savage Worlds game engine by Chris Halliday and Jonathan M. Thompson, The Dinosaur Protocol is a game of mystery, exploration, discovery and adventure. Players take the role of explorers, scientists, scavengers, hunters and traders, trying to survive a world whose first masters have returned. Will they stay at home and build their settlement, or blaze new trails through the saurian jungles of a World Reborn?
Will they extend the hand of friendship to other settlements, or war for valuable resources? Will they hunt the dinosaurs, or study them? Where did the dinosaurs come from, and what other mysteries lie hidden in the ruined cities, dense jungles and empty deserts? Just who – or what – else is out there?
Deck Box Dungeons
Deck Box Dungeons is a full featured, dungeon crawler that includes character customization, special abilities, and collecting treasure to spend on magical items. All of the components fit into a deck box making it compact and highly portable.
The free companion app allows us to rebalance quests based on feedback, add new content, or even add all new game modes without the need for players to pay more.

Oppressed people all over the Empire yearn for their freedom. In particular, the Jews hunger for their independence and the chance to cleanse their homeland. Outside the Empire, a Coalition of Germanic Tribes, Goths, and Parthians will suffer no more Roman expansion. Sensing an opportunity, they begin to push back against Rome.
Meanwhile, small groups of Christians are challenging all kinds of religious and cultural norms. Each faction has unique objectives and their own asymmetric advantages to exploit. They simply need your skill and cunning to turn the tide of history in their battle for the Soul of the Empire!

Siren’s Call: Interstellar Colonization Roleplaying
Siren's Call is a campaign and sourcebook for the Shadows Over Sol roleplaying game. It follows the story of the ARC Project, humanity's first ever attempt to build and launch an interstellar colony ship.
The ARC Project is one of the most ambitious endeavors ever undertaken. If successful, it will transport some 10,000 colonists the 4.4 light years from Sol to the planet Siren, orbiting Alpha Centauri A.
The journey will take 400 years, with all passengers and crew in stasis. No one knows exactly what will be found on the other side — what challenges and horrors the colonists will face as they make a life on this new world.
Siren's Call is inspired by a variety of science fiction media, ranging from Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri and James S. A. Corey’s excellent The Expanse series, to Ridley Scott’s classic film Alien and Kim Stanley Robinson's Mars trilogy.

Baby Bestiary: Reprint + Digital Goodies
The Baby Bestiary is an award-winning, systemless art and lore book, that teaches its readers how creatures reproduce, how to care for its egg (if they lay eggs) and how to rear one if you are bold enough to try.
The book has no stats or charts, leaving it as an amazing coffee-table book that can truly be appreciated by any gamer, no matter what you play. If you're an avid gamer, there is plenty of information that a crafty GM can make workable into their campaign (and if you're playing 5e, you're in luck, see the digital goodies).
