Spoils Of Kadath Miniatures Game
Spoils of Kadath is a miniatures game, playable in two modes: skirmish for two players (on a 90 x 90 board) or dungeon crawler for a group of 2/5 players. the average playing time is about 60 minutes.
In Spoils of Kadath each player deploys a band of reavers, wayfarers and mercenaries, hired by a guild to explore the ruin of a lost underworld city. The scenario establishes the winning conditions, the environmental rules and the deploying mode.
The fantasy-horror setting is inspired by the unspeakable horrors and the gloomy atmospheres of the Cthulhu mythos. In the belly of the unnamed city, creatures familiar to “the lord of the rings” aficionados (those who love Tolkien and role-playing games) as elves, orcs and dwarves will face the eldritch outlandish entities which haunted H.P. Lovecraft's nightmares.
D.A.M.N. Magazine - DCC RPG Magazine and News
I need help. Seriously (this is Paul). I've been doing the writing, content supervision, editing, layout, art direction, mapping, production, marketing, etc for this thing for... a year now. Yeah -- it's only two issues, but it's some serious work. And, generally, I suck at everything but the writing and editing. So, I'm going to engage some layout and additional editing resources, at least. And as we fund at higher levels, bring in mapping and possibly some other resources.
The other reason, is that I'm branching out on cover art. This issue we have a cover by David Fisher and, as a bonus/stretch goal, a second cover by Stefan Poag. More deets below.
Beneath
Beneath is a player VS player dungeon crawling/ Mining board game for 2 to 4 players. Each player pits their will against each other - mining, trapping, stealing and fighting.
Taking your heroic Dwarf on a quest through a series of ancient collapsed mines, buying new powerful weapons and skills. Can you stake your to claim the stone throne of Stonewatch before your opponents?
YNDAROS: THE DARKEST STAR, Award-Winning Symbaroum Campaign
There are three main reasons why we at the Swedish game studio Järnringen have decided to take our tabletop roleplaying game Symbaroum to Kickstarter, namely in the hope of …
… funding the postproduction and printing of the campaign and adventure module Yndaros – The Darkest Star (translated into English from Swedish)
… being able to lend the above mentioned product the same superb finish as previous Symbaroum releases and afford a large print run
… making even more gamers aware of the game and giving newcomers a chance to join in the adventure
It should also be noted that the translation of Yndaros – The Darkest Star is close to finished and that the first of three proofreading phases should commence before this campaign has ended.
Terminator Genisys: Rise Of The Resistance
Terminator Genisys: Rise of the Resistance is a cooperative tactical board game for 1-4 players where you play as the leaders of the Resistance, liberating humankind from the clutches of the machines. Use the mission book to select your scenario or play through in campaign mode.
Build the modular map and select your favorite resistance hero before engaging the Terminators in a battle for survival. Roll dice and allocate them to abilities, weapons, movement and more. Press on toward the next waypoint and don’t get overrun by the machines!

The Deck Of Many Dungeons Tabletop Map Accessories
What is my product? Well it's a deck of 54 playing cards, 53 actual usable cards which will have map elements printed on the back of them. A Game Master can use these cards to either shuffle up a random dungeon or to lay out their own custom dungeon for their friends!
The Deck of Many has 12 unique cards and multiples of each to literally allow a person to create well over a thousand different combinations of dungeons! The intended Deck of Many Dungeons will be plastic which will also allow people to write on their cards using whiteboard markers and wipe off any messages again. I've even had luck using DVD markers!

Filler: A Tasty Pastry Card Game From Green Couch Games
Filler combines many of the ingredients that have made Green Couch Games a treat to bring to the table. Easy-to-learn rules mixed with a quick playtime and playful appearance makes Filler a great game for families of casual gamers or connoisseurs looking to pass the time waiting for more guests to arrive.
In the game, players will use multi-use cards and a blend of simultaneous action selection, time and resource management, set-collection, and hand-building to collect ingredients needed to fill tasty pastries on their way to becoming the Star Baker.

Starship II - 3DPrintable OpenLOCK - Compatible Deck Plans
We are back after a very successful original campaign to bring our Starship interior designs to a 3D printer and tabletop near you, we are back with our second campaign, and we have doubled down and increased the quality of the prints dramatically.
Drake: Starship Map & Miniature
The goal of this project is to print an original starship poster, cast a fleet of matching miniatures, and get them to you within a few weeks of campaigns' end. Links to digital documents and supporting images will be provided to fully detail the ship and its interior.
Drake is a Seraphim-class exploration vessel originally designed as an escort frigate but repurposed for long-range reconnaissance. At 100 meters long, she carries a crew of 18 plus half a dozen small fighters and a shuttle. Originally named for the Sir Francis Drake, this ship was the pride of the Exploration Corp before hard times forced her to become a privateer and then outright pirate. During these dark years, the "Black Dragon" earned a sinister reputation. The interior maps are the same while stats and renderings for both incarnations are provided.
Shattered Tower RPG
Welcome Fearless Adventurer,
We’re extremely proud to get in the ring with Shattered Tower, our brand new project: we’re talking about a Myth Punk RPG, straightly focused on discovery, survival and exploration.
That could sound same ole same ole, but - trust me - with this concept, this idea, this game... we wanna bring REAL ADVENTURE to the table.
Of course there is adventure in every big RPG we know, love and been playing to, but we decided to take the thrill to the next level.
HOW? well, let’s just say that, if dying while looking for artifacts can be common, here you can fall through the cold claws of death even just while taking a walk outside the city limits!
Of course, at the very same time, your characters will be fully and colorfully equipped with every item and/or ability and/or extraordinary talent necessary to survive...
Small Star Empires 2nd Edition + Two Expansions
Small Star Empires is highly engaging, easy to learn, and quick to play area control game for 2-4 players. In this game, players colonize the galaxy using their ships, which they will move on a modular board, allowing for a different map and different experience each time you play the game.
The rules are simple: Each turn a player has to move one of his ships in a straight line, as many spaces (star systems) as he wants but he cannot go over systems controlled by other players. After his move, he has to place a Colony or Trade Station on that system, thus gaining control over that system for until the end of the game, for which he will get an amount of points. When all of the players placed their Colonies and Trade Stations, the game ends and points are calculated. The player with the most points is the winner!
With these extremely simple rules, players will get into the game from the very start and they will immediately immerse in the depths of the tactical and strategic choices they will need to make, in order to score more efficiently at the end of the game.
Grifters: Nexus
Two years ago, Indie Boards and Cards Cards released the exciting handbuilding game Grifters. This year we are excited to expand the Grifters universe with new specialists to complete capers and perform jobs!
Grifters operate on the fringes of The Dystopian Universe, eager to take advantage of every opportunity to profit from the chaos caused by the resistance. Players take on the role of powerful crime bosses, building their criminal organizations by carefully recruiting new operatives with specialized skills.
During the game, the players’ criminal teams will steal ISK from the government, powerful corporations, and each other via cons, blackmail, daring heists, and a multitude of other nefarious deeds. As always, money is power in The Dystopian Universe and the player with the most ISK at the end of the game is the winner.
Black Void RPG
BLACK VOID is a dark fantasy tabletop roleplaying game revolving around the fall and subsequent resurgence of humanity after cataclysmic events have torn them from Earth.
