I present to you the new Crowdfunding Collection #85, including every tabletop project started between 09/10 till 09/25.

Given I had to take a week long break, I present more than 72 fresh tabletop rpg crowdfunding projects. Including quite some from Germany, France and Spain.

I did back the German translation of Itras By, do feel tempted by HANDBÜCHER DES DRACHEN II, and the french games MACCHABÉES and MANTRA : ONIROPUNK caught my attention, as did Longue-Ville a richly illustrated book presenting a setting that could fit a game.

Safe from this little excursion in different languages there are many, great English projects and games. Thus if you liked Watership Down, you might be happy that Bunnies and Burrows is aiming to fund its third edition. Alternatively you could take a look at Rodent Rangers, which aims to be kid friendly. If you like to play more bunnies, other animals or even humans, take a look at The Forest Hymn & Picnic. Which features a system created by the designer of Shadow of the Demon Lord.

If you wonder how Italians would imagine a fantastic Italy based on Rome, checkout Lex Arcana. Next to the aforementioned quirk it looks cool and reads solid. Things from the Flood is a continuation to Tales of the Loop and has the characters discover mysteries, aliens and corporate misshieve in the 90ties. Just like Tales it features art by Stålenhag. Return to the Stars makes a jump forward and offers optimistic Science Fiction running on Fate Core. Going back Castle and Crusaders as well as The Epic of Dreams do give you your fantasy kick. C&C in more traditional fashion, the Dreams in a more story game way. Alternatively you might rob the sea with North Sea Epilogues or have fun with yourself and Avalon’s Solo Adventure system.

There are many, many more interesting projects and trying to list them would likely bore you, thus just take a look:

How to get into the Collection

There are essentially two ways for a project to be included

) I do try to actually find each and every new project. On the one hand, I do use my Crowdfunding Suchliste (It is essentially a list of links). On the other hand, I do try to keep close tabs on several communities, groups, forums, newsletters etc.

) I do have to rely on readers, project creators or fans pointing out projects to be included in the collection. Because several platforms like Patreon, IndieGoGo, Startnext, and more offer no option to enter a search term and look for the newest started project.

If you like to submit a project or your project. There are just a few things to watch:

The project should be somewhat related to tabletop role-playing.

The project should be live and preferably still live when the collection goes up.

The project shouldn’t be included in a previous collection.

Usually, I am happy with any suggestions. It’s as well a method to make sure I include a project which is out of range for my completist approach. As, for example, I don’t include every convention project or every miniature/terrain/map project.
