OMG Cats!– Campaign Ends: April 19th.
“OMG Cats! is a family friendly, all ages role-playing game where the players take on the roles of humankind’s furry friends: The CAT! It is a game of “Cats doin’ Cat Stuff” and a sibling project to our game Heckin’ Good Doggos. OMG Cats! lets players tell stories of these amazing multi-faceted felines. You’ll explore the world as an intrepid cat and view it through their eyes. Your story can range from lighthearted to serious and incorporate as many or just a few facets of cat life. You and your fellow cats could explore a run-down warehouse at the end of town, jailbreak a member of your colony from the pound after they mistakenly lost their collar, or even help liberate a Heckin’ Good Doggo from a cruel Twoleg (human).
Stories in OMG Cats! are not limited to the mundane. Many cultures believe that cats exist in a liminal space between this world and the next. In some, they are creatures favored by gods, in other witches’ familiars, and in others they’re considered incredibly good luck to have around. Your stories can include facets of these supernatural aspects in your game.”
Starline Hill– Campaign Ends: April 24th.
“Your goal in Starline Hill is to earn more Points than your opponent by claiming Constellations! Take turns placing Stars pieces in the night sky — one player will have red Stars, while the other will have yellow. Match your Stars to a Constellation card’s pattern to claim it, earning Points. The bigger the Constellation, the more Points you earn! After you claim a Constellation’s points, blue Neutral Star pieces are left behind which block parts of the Sky.
Surrounding Neutral Stars with your own Stars allows you to Draw a Line over large portions of the Sky in a single turn. While you race to match Constellations, carefully control your territory to ensure you aren’t blocked from continuing your adventure.”
Free5e– Campaign Ends: May 1st.
“For too long, financial barriers have kept people from experiencing the magic of Dungeons & Dragons. Whether it’s the steep cost of official books, questionable digital licensing, or the limited availability of accessible formats, many players have been left out. We believe D&D should be for everyone—no matter your budget, location, or background.
That’s why we’re creating Free5e: a fully free alternative version, fully compatible with Dungeons & Dragons Fifth Edition, built on Creative Commons sources. Our mission is simple: make the three standard core rulebooks completely accessible to all. No more choosing between D&D and rent. No more hidden fees or subscriptions. Free to own, free from corporate licensing constraints.“
BackerKit
Shifted– Campaign Ends: April 3rd.
“SHIFTED is a fast-paced, highly interactive social deduction wallet game where players take on the roles of blue-collar space workers called GEWPERS, tasked with doing busy work around their ship. However, one of them is theSHIFT, a shape-shifting alien bent on converting all life into its kind, and another is theVOID, a nihilist who would rather see everything fail.”
Swords at Dusk– Campaign Ends: April 3rd.
“In Swords at Dusk, players play as a group of high-class socialites in a remote manor, who make a grisly discovery: someone among their number is slowly poisoning them all to death. Players will need to work together to figure out who among them is the deadly killer and bring them to justice.
The problem is, being the high-class socialites you are, nobody can agree with anyone else, so instead messy conversations and accusations, you have all decided on one way to settle one’s differences, the honorable act of dueling!
In most social deduction games, you often get into arguments with each other, keep track of lies, and jump through hurdles of logic to try to get some sort of consensus. This leads to a lot of downtime and often leads a casual player to stop paying attention.
However, in Swords at Dusk, if you think you know who the killer is, whether or not anyone agrees with you; you just need to put your own life on the line…!”
Centipede– Campaign Ends: April 3rd.
“The world has gone mad! Suddenly everyone wants their own Big-Eyed Fluffy Centipede! This is the chance of a lifetime to become a famous Plushie maker. Unfortunately, materials are running low and you have to collaborate with other crafters to make your dreams come true. Take your time, sneak your signature style in the Centipede plushies and try to finish them first. This is the moment you have been waiting for!
Centipede is a quick and tactical card game where players take the role of Toymakers building a series of “Fluffy Centipedes” and trying to be the first to complete 3. Rules are easy to learn, and there is no text in the cards. It’s small and easy to transport and packs 10-25 minutes of fun for 2 to 5 players of ages 7+.”
Into the Lair – Campaign Ends: April 16h.
“Into the Lair is a brand-new RPG that blends that classic old school feel with a fresh and modern character creation system. Our system allows both young and old players to easily create a character without having to read and understand dozens of pages in a players handbook before even writing your name on a page.
We prefer the gritty and dark feel of the classic black and white art that made the 80s and 90s a glorious time of imagination and life. While color art is gorgeous, sometimes more effort is put into the art to sell the project instead of having a great product. We do not use AI for any of our art.“
