Kickstarter: Cool Stuff

[Adam_Autist]

Dovetails quite nicely with Caleb talking about the Harlem Renaissance in Luke Cage recently and BBC 6 Music had a segment on last sunday about jazz age slang used in Jazz music centering on Harlem.

At least they kept the physical goals to only a couple items and at higher backer levels.

I backed it. Also backed Tales of the Loop.

I was late to the Stranger Things party so I just finished as Tales from the Loop came out perfect timing.

I'd be interested to hear an RPPR review of Tales of the Loop.  Supposedly Tales of the Loop predates Stranger Things?

I do plan to review it when I get the book.

Alas for the Awful Sea
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/259750074/alas-for-the-awful-sea-myth-mystery-and-crime-in-1



Alas is a story-focused tabletop roleplaying game about a ship’s crew navigating the remote British Isles. There, they face a world consumed with suspicion, sadness, and desperation. Struggles for power have deadly consequences; mysterious disappearances plague the region; and those who seem human may not all be so. Amidst all this, the sea sends forth strange messages. Will you be the one to listen?

Loved The Things we Leave Behind. This looks to be more of the awesome quality of that book.

Lex Occultum

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1256540796/lexoccultum-role-playing-game

Riotminds, creators of Trudvang Chronicles, have put up a translation of their other big roleplaying game, Gotterdammerung, on Kickstarter, under the name Lex Ocultum. It's a really interesting idea. All the secret societies and occult stuff of the 18th and 19th centuries? It was true, and you are the people that had to fight the fuck ups of the ignorant nobility who dabbled in that which man should not know. In a way, it is similar to Call of Cthulhu, and it uses the BRP system, but it is based more heavily in the Enlightenment, with more of a Templars fighting in the background rather than random people swept into the conflict, at least as far I can tell.

Post-apocalyptic Luchador comic with zombies.  Huh.

I don't go looking for this stuff, it just finds me.

The Watch is a tabletop roleplaying game set in a "light fantasy" setting known as The Clanlands. It takes place during a dark and horrific war between the now-united ten clans who live there and an invading force, known only as The Shadow.

The Shadow is a powerful and insidious enemy that is able to enter the minds of its opponents and slowly turn them to its side; twisting them into unnatural foes.
