By the way, speaking of far more timely Kickstarters, the PDFs of goon-created PBTA game of wizarding academia Pigsmoke are out and available for nonbackers to purchase: http://drivethrurpg.com/product/221386/Pigsmoke-A-Roleplaying-Game-of-Sorcerous-Academia So far it's delightful, and sharing excerpts with some fellow roleplayers who are currently involved in academia led to immediate intense interest and knowing nods about just how well it captures the real thing.

Also, doesn't look like it's been posted here yet but The Champion of the Wild is a great filler/party game I had the chance to play at the UK Games Expo. There's an animal Olympics happening and three events (eg sprinting, climbing Everest, jousting, hiding in a stately home) are dealt out. You have to decide which of your small pool of animals would do best at each event, and then try to convince the others of the same. It's pretty light but the art and cars do a great job of prompting fun conversation about ridiculous animal sports.

Only way? No, you could back at the $145 level and get it with the slipcase!

SUPER excited for Cavaliers. The first backer update is already live and includes the full text of the game.

Mors Rattus posted:Cavaliers of Mars launched - an Onyx Path game using an entirely new system and created and owned by Rose Bailey. At first glance, I really like the way you build your dice pool for actions (For Honor/Love/Self + With Cunning/Force/Grace), but I dislike multi-die-type systems so that's disappointing. Still probably going after a physical book, especially since it's only $30+shipping.

Estimated delivery date for the pdf... October 2019. On the other hand this could only be more 'extremely my poo poo' if it contained dapper skeletons and/or time travel, so they've got my cash already.

How much of a badly broken mess is the Cavaliers system? Because I love planetary romance.

If you don't have time to read a free game over the next 30 days, you probably don't want to buy it.

I was just looking at backing this--so the quickstart, which uses Wushu, is NOT the system the finished product is gonna be using? edit: Oh, wait, never mind, the text is available to backers. Hmmmm. That's... I kind of wish they'd iterated on something existing and light, like Fate or FAE or PbtA. LogicNinja fucked around with this message at 05:09 on Sep 20, 2017 |

Lightning Lord posted:It's an Onyx Path game, of course they're going to use their own system. Why shouldn't they? It uses a custom multi-die-type system, a little like a very light Cortex iteration. It's one of the creator-owned partnerships they've previously talked about branching out into. (I think it might have been the first, but it went quiet for years and Pugmire, which I think is d20 OGL, came out first.)

Great news, everyone. If you were feeling a void in your heart where the Book of Erotic Fantasy once lived, here's something similar for 5e. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1494851610/erotic-adventures

Among other things: your stat for doing direct combat is also your primary HP pool, and is also the resource spent to boost rolls.
