Two Games You Really Should Consider Kickstarting
12 years ago
General
Aright, I've got two Kickstarters I want to hopefully gain a little bit of attention. Both of them are games, one of them is more furry than the other, but both are games that I can confirm are very fun and worth every little bit of your hard earned money.
First up, Catacombs
https://www.kickstarter.com/project.....64/catacombs-0
This is an interesting combination of Dexterity and Dungeon Crawl, it's basically a kind of classic D&D scenario where you go into a Dungeon and fight monsters, find weapons and upgrades, and defeat the big bad guy at the end. Though instead of rolling dice and moving around by calculating movement and pacing yourself across a grid of hexagons, you instead, flick your character disk.
That's basically the entire game, but isn't, because you can be a warrior and flick yourself around the arena, ricocheting against monsters, or an archer, who can move about, and then place and flick even smaller 'arrow' disks to hit monsters at a safe distance, or a wizard that can summon this fat purple disk in front of friends and or foes to either protect or to merely get in the way.
I played this game at a convention and ever sense then I've wanted a copy myself very badly. Unfortunately it's done by a very small company and every time they reprint the game it immediately vanishes from the shelves. So they decided to host a kickstarter that will help them get better equipment to handle the increase in demand and do some very much needed modifications to some of the rules and the artwork. This is a game that is going to be fun for a very wide audience of people and is worth every bit of its $50 price tag (it says $55 but that's in Canadian currency)
Second, the "Ironclaw Book of Adventures" created by
Rafferty
https://www.kickstarter.com/project.....tures?ref=live
This is an add on companion book to a pen and paper RPG system called Ironclaw, an 'anthropomorphic RPG'. It's less of a 'furry RPG' but more of an 'RPG that mixes up classes and species by using anthro animals instead of classic fantasy species'. While by itself it isn't very useful, if you splurge to get the digital copy with the Omnibus it will provide you and your friends much fun. The system itself is very simple once you get over the hurtle of the idea of 'not combining dice' into a single pool. Not to mention that your stats are actually the size die you roll (if your bad at something, it's a D4, if your epic at something it's a D12 and so forth).
Now, to demonstrate how intuitive, simple, and fun this entire system is, I've played host to three games, one that was unfortunately cut off because it was with some college friends and classes were getting in the way, but the next campaign lasted for around an entire year, meeting up every Sunday over Skype, and a third one which is still ongoing. Here's the big thing though, these were the first times I've ever played a pen and paper RPG, not just hosted them, but flat out ever played one. If a newbie like me can host a successful campaign, I bet you can to.
Also, I'm kind of working on some prototype home brew weight gain rules which have proven to be interesting ;3
Anyway, if you back Catacombs, Ironclaw, or both, you shouldn't be disappointed, and will have a very very fun time.
