Welcome to our Kickstarter news hub. Here you will find latest news about tabletop projects on Kickstarter.
You know, with so many games coming across my screen all the time, I often feel like every set-up for a game has been done and done to death. Well, I can say that I’ve not seen a game (at least that I can remember) where you are collecting different types of weird babies to…
In the dark, post apocalyptic world, there’s only My Fists! *punch, punch, punch!* Tian Shang, Lone Wolf Fists is a new sci-fi, post-apocalyptic, martial arts RPG that’s up on Kickstarter now.

Can you believe that Shadows of Esteren is already 8 years old?*snifflesniffle* They grow up so fast! Well, there was going to be all sorts of celebrations at different conventions, but that’s not looking so likely. So, instead, they’re headed to Kickstarter to get you some RPG rewards like all their books. They’re also funding…
In most RPGs, the gods are already set as part of the campaign setting and you merely get to play the heroes that roam around in the world that they’ve created. In Incarnis, you get to play as those gods and part of what you’re doing is you’re creating that world that the heroes will…
Looney Labs are masters at making quick, little, fun games that can fit in your pocket. They tend to take simple mechanics and pieces and turn them into something greater.

Look. You know me. I’ve been doing this job for almost a decade now and just when I think I’ve seen it all, along comes a new premise or theme for a game that I’d never even considered. I always love when this happens, so I was happy when Dish Pit Witches came along. It’s…
Well, it’s an inventive name. I’ll definitely give it that. It has me intrigued. And looking over the gameplay, it’s certainly not something you see everyday. A maniac has built a murder castle. You helped him do so. Now, you find yourself in said murder castle trying to find evidence to clear your name as…
Anyone in law enforcement will tell you that time is of the essence when trying to solve a crime. Every minute that goes by, the culprit can be getting further away. In 5-Minute Mystery, every second will count, as players must work together in only 5 minutes to solve the crime. Can you collect the…
Not ever Kickstarter goes as intended. That’s just a fact of life. Well, just because it’s not going great doesn’t mean that you have to totally abandon the project. With some reconfiguring, retooling, and reflection, a relaunch can be much more successful. That’s what’s going on with Kisarta, a new fantasy setting for 5th edition….
Big Kid Games is running a Kickstarter campaign for their Heritage Edition of Montana as well as a pair of expansions, Goldrush and Longhorn.

This new…

It might be autumn, but here in Atlanta, it’s supposed to be 96 degrees today. So, there’s still plenty of time to get outside, fire up the grill, and make some sausages. Bratwurst, hotdogs, polish sausage, and many other times are perfect on the grill. And that’s what you’ll be cooking up in Sausage Party,…
CMON has launched their Kickstarter campaign to add new digital assets like soundtracks and art books for some of their previous games. They’re HATE, Zombicide: Green Horde, and Rising Sun.

Long-time readers might remember that I’m a huge fan of abstract puzzle games. Well, the Ancient World Multi-Game Tiles are just that. But, as you can tell from the name, it’s not just a single game, but several, all wrapped up in one gaming set. You can check out the system up on Kickstarter now….
Hey, I don’t know if you noticed, but there’s a lot of games and game products that are funded via Kickstarter. You know, it’s funny, when I first started on TGN over 7 years ago, I remember Ross and I having a conversation that was, “So… these Kickstarter things… what are we supposed to do…

Augusta Universalis is a sci-fi RPG that takes a fantastical look at what would’ve happened if the Roman Empire hadn’t just not fallen, but actually thrived and became super advanced in science and technology, reaching out into the stars and colonizing other worlds the way it did with land around the Mediterranean. But not everything…
You’re just hanging out with your buddies at work. You’ve got things going well. When some group of murder-hobos come in and start stabbing everyone! How rude! Sure, you might be a minion of an evil entity, but still, that’s just mean. Best to create a good defense. That’s what you’ll be doing in For…
When you’re the GM, you’ve gotta come up with everything else in the world that doesn’t consist of the party memebers. That’s tough. There’s guides out there that can help you with NPCs in the world. But they give you, what? 20? 30? Maybe 100 characters? That’s nothing. The Ultimate Character Compendium gives you over…

Coming up with a world as a GM is really tough. There’s about a million things to try and figure out, and it can all get very complex very fast. It’s much easier to leave that to someone else and then bask in their creativity as you take your adventurers around. Welcome to Tikor is…

While not everyone may know the name Don Quixote (or even really how to pronounce Quixote correctly), you’ve probably heard about Spaniards attacking windmills. Don’s the one that did that in the classic book by Miguel de Cervantes (no, not the same guy from Soul Calibur). Now, you can recreate those epic tales for yourself…
Funforge is running a Monumental Kickstarter campaign. That describes both the name of the game as well as is an accurate description of what the game encompasses. It’s not just your standard 4x civilization board game, but it also brings in deck-building mechanics as well. If there’s a mechanic you like in those types of…
Two warriors enter. One warrior leaves… … maybe. In Nexus, two gladiators are locked in life-or-death combat. However, it’s not just some sandy pit they’ve been tossed into. This arena is alive and it’s not going to make things easy for either combatant. With traps, snares, pits, and all manner of horrific things that can…
Zombies might be a pretty classic horror monster, but there are plenty of other horrible and terrifying creatures out there. Dracula, the Mummy, the Invisible Man.
