Realm Works

Evening ladies and gentlemen. This one is a very quick update, I don’t have time to write a lot since I’m about to duck out to see Second Sun play.

I just wanted to do a quick update on the state of the Realm Works Kickstarter project. They’re in the last 48 hours, and have nearly reached their third stretch goal (access to Richard Pett’s new campaign, The Blight, completely integrated into Realm Works). If anyone has been sitting on the fence about supporting this project, now is the time to jump in. Every little bit helps the team at Lone Wolf Development make improvements on the software and features, and you get some awesome content with the rewards as well.

As an added incentive, they’ve also announced a final stretch goal of a different kind. If the project hits 2000 backers – currently it is sitting at 1416 – every backer at the Timber Wolf level ($65) or higher will receive a free gift license for their flagship software, Hero Lab. For those of you like me, who already have Hero Lab licenses and pretty much every bit of content available for it, you’re able to gift it to someone else you think might find it useful. For those of you who don’t have it, the license comes with the core data packages for your choice of one of the systems it supports. Packages are availble for Pathfinder, World of Darkness (Vampire: The Requiem and Changeling: The Lost only), Savage Worlds, Shadowrun 4th Edition, D&D 3.5/d20, D&D 4th Edition and Call of Cthulhu. The license normally costs $30, so it’s a great way to get some extra bang for your buck.

Anyway, that’s it from me for now, I’ve got to run. The siren song of beautiful acoustic rock is calling me…

Kickstart my Heart!

Welcome back ladies and gentlemen. As you may have guessed from the title of this blog entry, I am a bit of a fan of Mötley Crüe, particularly their album Dr Feelgood, which was released the year I was born. I’m also quite a fan of Nikki Sixx in particular, and really enjoy the work he’s been doing with his current side project, Sixx: A.M. Seriously, if you’re a fan of him at all check out their two albums, The Heroin Diaries Soundtrack and This Is Gonna Hurt.

Anyway, my love of Mötley Crüe aside, the name was actually chosen because it ties in nicely with my topic for today. I’m sure some of you have guessed it already, but for those who haven’t, it’s time for a Kickstarter round-up. I’m going to be having a quick look at what I think are the most promising gaming related projects on Kickstarter at the moment, and providing links to the project pages so you can check them out for yourself. This time around we’ve got three projects that are directly RPG related, a board game, and a project that’s a little different.  So, let’s get started.
