Ok I have three semi-related Kickstarters for you this week. None of them need my encouragement as they were all funded pretty quickly, but they are still fun.
Tarot, Witch of the Black Rose: LAST STAND
Jim Balent and Holly Golightly are back with another huge issue of Tarot Witch of the Black Rose. I am a massive fan of Jim and Holly. They are great people and put a lot of love into everything they do. Tarot is no different. I am woefully behind on my reading of these, but that's fine, I'll get caught up.
Tarot and her allies (from the pic above, her sister Raven, her lover Jon "Skeleton Man" Webb, and more) are fighting a massive battle against the undead. Sounds fantastic really.
I have supported many of their Kickstarters in the past, and they are always really fast in getting their material out. My general advice for these? Come to see what Jim is doing with Tarot, but also check out all the fun stuff Holly does in the stretch goals, add ons!
Moving on to other Supers.
Valiant Adventures Roleplaying Game
Green Ronin, a company I adore, is up with a new set of Supers using their iconic Mutants & Masterminds system.
I have been dying for some new superhero RPG rules, which should be fantastic. I know very, very little about the Valiant Universe, but I know it will be great.
There are many options here, and there should be some level for everyone. They even have a free Quickstart that looks great, by the way. If this is how the full books look, then this will be a great-looking game. I also can't help but think I could use this with their own M&M 3 universe and the DC Adventures game they had out years ago.
Tales of the Valiant Game Master's Guide 5E
Another Valiant, this time Kobold Press' 5e alternative. The look is something of a cross between 5e and Pathfinder 2r. Still compatible with 5th edition.
There looks like there is a lot of good stuff in this book and more coming. I am just not sure if it is for me. I bet my oldest would love it though.

This is the second time Valiant's had an RPG now, the last one being from Catalyst Game Labs back in 2014. M&M is quite a bit better known than the "Cue System" the last one used, so maybe this time will see more success. Our FLGS still has copies of the old one on the shelves unsold.
I haven't really read much Valiant but I did watch the not-so-good Bloodshot movie with Vin Diesel.
I had the initial Valiant RPG and thought it was just a little too much on the low-crunch, open build game mechanic, which was too bad because I liked the feel of the Valiant comics at the time. I'm glad a M&M3 version is coming out.
