Miniature Scenery Terrain for Tabletop gaming & Wargames 3
The North… In the ice of an endless winter, man and creatures have fled these spaces. Former outposts of flourishing civilizations, all that is left today are ruins and memories of a time long past.
The glaciers have reclaimed their territory and in a slow crawl they once again shape these lands to immortalize their power. Peaks, cliffs, chasms, and snow… This is how this continent is now defined, as all eyes watch with apprehension, as if facing an implacable enemy.
Outbreak: Undead 2E - The Survival Horror Simulation RPG
Outbreak: Undead.. is the ENnie award-winning RPG that first premiered at GenCon 2010 as the very first Zombie Survival Simulation RPG. The game debuted to a wide audience gaining popularity with both Role Players as well as the Zombie/Survivalist community, obtaining a 'PLATINUM SELLER' status on DTRPG.
Over 7 years ago we told people YOUR ZOMBIE SURVIVAL PLAN WILL FAIL, and asked you to PROVE US WRONG. Many of you did, but CAN YOU SURVIVE the next stage?
Near and Far: Amber Mines
Golden Amber fills the deep mines, it's fiery, cold embers glowing in the ancient rocks. Scholars say that the Arzians valued it above gold or silver, and wore it as a sign of wealth. Perhaps the rare substance holds forgotten secrets about the long-dead empire and their lust for power?
This is an expansion for the game Near and Far and requires Near and Far to play.
Dice Base™: FLUME 2 - The Ultimate Dice Tower System
The best dice tower (we've) ever made.
Compact, modular, versatile, and the ability to roll some of the biggest dice made. Up to 40mm depending on overall shape. 1.25" spheres are what we used as our base pass-though model.
This is achieved while preventing zero-touch pass-through using the perfect number of nubs, bumps, slides, ledges and arms. Roll a 5mm die as easily as a 40mm.
Amazon SmasHers - Amazons and Humans for Fantasy Football
We announced this project some months ago and now we are finally ready to launch the crowfunding campaign for our Amazon team for fantasy football.
We created a unique team of 16 different figures with an original design and some nice extra figures to add to your team.
War of Warriors - A Family Friendly Tabletop Game of War
War of Warriors is a tabletop game based on the classic card Game of War. Card design and player specific dice enhance game play.
"War of Warriors is a tabletop game that is based on the classic card game of war. I first thought of this concept while playing war with my kids. I thought wouldn't it be fun if the cards represented real life warriors? That would be cool! I also thought about the game play and what could be done to make it more challenging. Don't tell your kids but it might help them enjoy practicing math. "
Fantasy Stock Art & RPG Minis
50+ Printable Minis and RPG Stock Illustrations created from backer ideas and submissions. Get your favorite character illustrated!
This project will be creating a minimum of 50 fantasy characters and creatures to be used in roleplaying game products and printable miniatures.
Ideas for what will be illustrated will be provided by YOU. I will first illustrate any guaranteed ideas and then alternate between randomly selecting ideas and choosing those that inspire me.
Diehard Miniatures: Undead Rising
The Undead Rising set will encompass both Fantasy and Sci-Fi miniatures. Small skirmish units to a full army, the choice is yours!
Neon Knights - The Board Game

D20 / D30 RPG & DCC Dice Chain Sets - New D17, D19, D26 & D28
Full RPG & DCC dice chain sets. All the sides from D3 to D20. All the evens from D4 to D30.
Impact! Miniatures is seeking to add to their dice of unusual size with mass production of the final 4 dice we need to complete two different dice chains (a D17, D19, D26 & D28 sided die in 9 opaque and 2 specialty colors). These 4 dice will allow Impact! to offer D20 dice chain sets with all the dice from D3 to D20 and D30 dice chain sets with all the even dice from D4 to D30 to RPG developers and players.
Impact! has a lot of experience producing odd sided dice and the designs for these dice look great and have been tested to be as fair as possible despite having an odd number of sides. Due to assistance from Andrew at the Dice Shop Online (thank you very much Andrew!) and Joseph Goodman from Goodman Games (thank you Mr. Goodman!), we have been able to research the shapes and receive a small batch of the D17, D19, D26 & D28 to test the production designs. We are very happy with the test batch and want to get the dice into full production but really need your assistance to get the mass production run of the dice created.
House Monsters
Get rid of these cute but annoying house monsters! A fast and silly card game for all ages.
Fun for all ages, this fast and silly game will be appealing among any group. Most of these monsters are not dangerous, but they are super annoying! Whether they are stealing your hot water, or eating all the candy, you just have to get rid of them!
Ultimately, this game is about being the first person to rid yourself of the House Monsters before the other players do.
Detective: City of Angels
Detective: City of Angels is a board game where detectives solve mysteries in the dark and violent world of 1940's Los Angeles.
Detective: City of Angels is an epic narrative-driven board game set in the dark and violent world of 1940's Los Angeles. Most players will step into the shoes of LAPD Homicide detectives that will do whatever it takes to solve the case, but one player will take on the role of The Chisel whose goal is to stall and misdirect the detectives at every turn.
Inspired by classic film noir like The Big Sleep, the works of James Ellroy (L.A. Confidential), and the video game L.A. Noire from Rockstar Games, Detective: City of Angels is a mystery and crime solving game unlike any other.
The Dice Bag of +3 Sorting
Mass d-istrobution for d-Bag.
It costs a lot to move up to mass-distribution, even mini mass-distribution. d-Bag is ready to make that move, with your help that is.
Most gamers have a lot of dice, many store those dice in something. Most prefer bags, although some like the sort-ability provided by plastic...
What if there was a bag that could sort?... well, there is! You can sort dice by set or by types, or whatever you want! No more fumbling for 6d6 or 5d4... just reach into the pocket and grab some!
Plus, when it's open, there's a rolling surface in the middle. Here's what it looks like:
Zero Hour
Stop the Mastermind behind the Z-B13 outbreak in this cooperative dice-placement adventure game for 1-4 players.
The Z-B13 virus has infected the continent and threatens to spread across the oceans. Millions have slowly transformed into what survivors will only call the Afflicted, trapped in a feral state of non-living. As survivors band together in raiding parties for their own safety, and as the virus continues to mutate, your group fights for answers: Who - or WHAT - let this virus loose? Can they be stopped and can a cure be discovered? Or has humanity's final hour arrived?
Zero Hour is a cooperative dice-placement adventure game for 1-4 players. To win, the survivors must first gather enough Intel (by searching cities and researching the virus) to discover the identity and location of the Mastermind behind the Z-B13 outbreak. Then, in a do-or-die Final Showdown, they must successfully stop the Mastermind in their tracks and resolve any existing virus mutations. The team of survivors will need to cooperate with their unique skill sets, use their limited resources wisely, and balance the risk of attracting unwanted attention with the reward of coming one step closer to stopping the Doomsday clock.
Von Unaussprechlichen Kulten: Tabletop Cult Skirmishes
A Mythos horror themed tabletop miniature skirmish game that lets you lead your own cult of evil worshippers to glory and infamy!
Von Unaussprechlichen Kulten (…or Kulten…or VUK for short) is an horrific, violent and often disturbingly amusing cult battle and management game in which players create cults and clash amongst each other for the favour of their gods; ancient, evil and tenebrous though they may be…
Cahoots Card Game of "Co-opetition" 3-4 Players
Work w/ your opponents to score points through matching suits, but be sure to play the better card! A game of sneaky teamwork for 3-4.
Welcome to the world of Cahoots, a trick-taking card game in which you are forced to conspire (be "in cahoots") with each of your opponents to win. Cooperate, negotiate, backstab, and bluff your way to a win in this world of noir and espionage. You can't trust anyone, but you've got to work together to score points because even though you win by yourself, you can't win alone!
Gangs of Britannia
A 3-5 player gangster game. Conquer your rivals' turf by clever dealing or cunning deceiving. Got what it takes to control the streets?
Britain is rife with crime and you are leading one of the country's five most notorious historical gangs, competing for dominance over London, Birmingham, Manchester, Liverpool and Glasgow.
You and your fellow players vie for control over the major cities of Britain by spreading your mobs, collecting payouts, and using secret intelligence to advance your influence. In a game where luck decides little, carefully pick who you cut deals with as betrayals can lurk behind the next card.
One thing is certain amongst the Gangs of Britannia - trust is slowly built but quickly broken...

Aliens & Asteroids: Sci-fi Horror Roleplaying
Streamlined game for fast, intense RPG sessions in a world inspired by classic sci-fi -- in an expanding universe of hope and horror!
Aliens & Asteroids is a tabletop roleplaying game with a streamlined mechanic, fast character creation, and easy ways to ratchet up the dramatic tension of every encounter. The rules are focused on allowing you to tell exciting stories around alien encounters, abductions, combats, and horrors, inspired by science-fiction films like Aliens and Starship Troopers, computer games like X-COM: UFO Defense, and television shows like Babylon-5 and The Expanse.
Aliens & Asteroids is written to evoke the terror of being on a spaceship in the middle of nowhere being stalked by creatures only wanting to survive and thrive. Maybe you’re a tasty morsel. Maybe you’re a warm body for hosting the next generation of horrors. But it’s definitely going to come down to you or them.

Outbreak: Undead 2nd edition :
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/huntersbooks/outbreak-undead-2e-the-survival-horror-simulation
’cause the world needs more zombie themed RPG’s.
This one has a cute generator that allows you to convert yourself into a character :
http://www.huntersbooks.com/spewai/
It certainly beats all those assessments that are in magazines, right ? 😉
@limburger – A great looking find this one, consider it added 🙂 Az
And the big one with the dragon that we were all waiting for :
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1162110258/time-of-legends-joan-of-arc?ref=user_menu
It’s funded, because of course it is.
The dragon is part of the only expansion (revealed thus far) and at 65$ it is pretty cheap …
Heck, it probably makes a great display piece.
@limburger hehe this one kinda has the whole site under its wing at the moment so may not need to add in here too 😛 Az
I hadn’t noticed 😉
Can’t believe (unless I’ve missed something) that 7th Continent hasn’t got a look-in over the last few weeks. It is a re-print with new expansions but having just topped $4m is surely worth q mention?!

Who would have guessed people would love mining for amber. Near and Far: amber mines seems to doing fantastic even though I see no real difference from it and many other resource themed game.
