 Overview: Role playing games are usually games of cooperation and collaborative storytelling. This game isn’t one of them. Killspolosion is a competitive player versus player RPG where there is only one rule: fight to live. It is a rules light game that supports a variety of genres and rule sets. I want to create this game using the ransom model - basically if I get the amount of money I ask for then I'll release it for free. That way the artists and I are compensated for our effort and I don't have to worry about marketing and selling a commercial game. If I don't raise the money then the game won't be released at all. Design principles 1. Light rules: All of the important rules will be written on the character sheet. The GM will have additional rules but players will only need their character sheet. 2. Fast action: Each player will be allowed only one roll of the dice per turn or one minute to describe their action and ask the GM questions. This will keep the pace fast and exciting. 3. Support more than 6 players: Because of the fast pace and light rules, games can support up to 12 players or even more, depending on the ability of the GM. 4. Reward creativity, fast thinking and risk management. Players have to weigh getting small but immediate benefits versus saving up their resources for risky but potentially devastating ambushes or traps. 5. Multiple settings and rule sets can be added in the game. Each setting comes with several rule sets to vary the gameplay. About me I run 2 tabletop RPG podcasts, Role Playing Public Radio and RPPR Actual Play. http://slangdesign.com/rppr/ and http://actualplay.roleplayingpublicradio.com/ I've previously released 4 ransom PDFs so I have a track record doing this. You can see the PDFs here http://slangdesign.com/rppr/the-new-world-free-4e-dd-campaign-setting However, this is the first time I'm designing a standalone game. I'm excited about it and I want to make it as fun as possible. The rewards are geared towards RPPR listeners (preview episodes months ahead of time, play in a Skype game run by me etc) but I think any RPG fan will enjoy this game and will want to contribute to it.

I've launched a Kickstarter for a tabletop role playing game: Base Raiders is based on material from my campaign, the Heroes of New Arcadia, from the RPPR Actual Play podcast. This is a full standalone RPG, based on the FATE RPG system. $15 gets you a PDF and $30 gets you a book.

I've launched a Kickstarter for Boiling Point, an adventure for my superhero Fate RPG, Base Raiders.  Boiling Point is essentially an investigation scenario and dungeon crawl in a superhero setting. Find the base and then explore it, avoiding traps, monsters, and other dangers. If you're new to Base Raiders, you can back at the NEWCOMER PDF level for $25 and receive every Base Raiders PDF. If you want to hear how Boiling Point works out in practice, you can listen to an actual play podcast of the scenario: http://actualplay.roleplayingpublicradio.com/2014/09/systems/fate/base-raiders-fate/base-raiders-boiling-point-part-1/ You can learn more about Base Raiders here: http://baseraiders.com/about We also have previews of material from within the scenario on the Base Raiders website. http://www.baseraiders.com/tag/boiling-point/
