A couple of Kickstarters came my way this week. One is perfect for Halloween (and this blog really) and a collection of DM's tips.
Dice, Runes, and Magical Artifacts for RPG's and Witchcraft

This one is kind of fun. A bunch of dice, rune stones, a wand, and more that can be used for an RPG or for ritual work in WitchCraft. I already see a lot of use for these in my "War of the Witch Queens" campaign and the metal wand is rather cool. I think the pendulum is the coolest, however.
You can find the creator, and his work, on Twitter or his Instagram page.
Up next is a well-known name.

Mike Shea, aka Sly Flourish, is back with The Lazy DM's Companion.
From the Kickstarter:
This Kickstarter launches the third book in this series: The Lazy DM's Companion. The Lazy DM's Companion includes guidelines to help streamline your 5e D&D games, and inspirational generators to help you build your own D&D adventures and campaigns. Each set of guidelines makes it easier to focus your game on the fantastic stories shared with your friends, while the generators help you break out of creative ruts and build unique adventures and campaigns.
I have a few of these books on PDF. They are good guides. I still prefer my trusty AD&D DMs Guide, but these are also quite great.
Obviously, there is a need or a want for these, he is sitting at over $260,000 right now and was fully funded in 20 minutes. Maybe I should do a review of the ones I have.
$260,000?
ReplyDeleteMan, I must be a stupid, stupid human being.
Sly Flourish has a huge following and his books are generally helpful without being condescending. There is also the assumption that not everyone reading these books has years of experience to draw on.
ReplyDeleteIndeed. The evidence of my stupidity is clear.
