Kickstart Your Weekend: Calidar "Beyond the Skies"
+Bruce Heard is back with another Kickstarter for his wildly successful Calidar campaign system.
Calidar "Beyond the Skies"
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/ambreville/calidar-beyond-the-skies
This looks every bit as fun as the first Calidar book (reviewed here).
This book "feels" more like a campaign guide too, along the lines of the Forgotten Realms books with gods and things for mortals to do. by contrast the first Calidar book was more Gazetteer like.
The art looks fantastic, but don't take my word for it, pop on over and see.
I also appreciate the handy graphic too to know what it is I am getting for the money I spend.
Now to figure what level to pledge at!

Kickstart Your Weekend: We have Movie (and Book) sign!
First off, I have to repost the MST3k Kickstarter.
Lots more information including the first host and first Mad Scientist.
Yup. That is Felicia Day as the new Mad. I was not a fan of her's originally, but after seeing her in Supernatural I have come around.
In game-realted news.
Marc Miller of Traveller fame has a Kickstarter for his Traveller novel, Agent of the Imperium.
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/traveller5/agent-of-the-imperium-marc-millers-traveller-novel
I would have sucked this up back in the day. I hope it is a great success for him!

Kickstart Your Weekend: Bring Back MST3K
Not a gaming Kickstarter...unless you happen to be me.
I have said it before. My Appendix N is full of cheesy sci-fi, horror and fantasy movies. The only people that loved these movies more than me were the Best Brain behind Mystery Science Theatre 3000. In the 90s, this was my show. The one I tapped and never missed. Still have 18 or so 6-hour tapes full of episodes. To bad I have no idea where a work VCR is.
But no fear because MST3k is coming back through the magic of Kickstarter and fans like us.
Bring Back MYSTERY SCIENCE THEATER 3000
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/mst3k/bringbackmst3k/
In truth they don't need my help to publicize this, but they are getting it anyway.
Heck they made $1 Million in their first 24 hours.
Really looking forward to this one!

Kickstart Your Weekend: Brimstone & The Borderhounds RPG
I don't know much about the Brimstone & The Borderhounds comic, except it looks like "Dog the Bounty Hunter" meets "Hellraiser". I could be wrong. But even if I am it sounds like a cool game.
Troll Lords also thinks so with their new Brimstone & The Borderhounds RPG.
It is being written by Jason Vey (of Amazing Adventures, Band of Zombies, Broken Gods, and contributing author to the Defending Earth the Unit Sourcebook for the Doctor Who RPG, and contributor to Buffy) and uses the SEIGE Engine found in Amazing Adventures and Castles & Crusades.
Already I see a lot of use for this game.
I have a little side game going on (well on hold for a moment) called "The Daughters of Death" that was using D&D4. With this it looks like I could easily move it over to Castles & Crusades.
Since I already have some Castles & Crusades plans in the mix for my game after my D&D 5 one.
In anycase this looks like a lot of fun.
Troll Lords has a great track record with Kickstarter so backing this one should be a no brainer.

Kickstart Your Weekend: Aquelarre
I have not heard about the Spanish language RPG Aquelarre till before today.
But a quick look online tells me a lot of people are excited by it.
There is a new English language version on the way by none other than White Wolf's own Stewart Wieck. So that should mean it will look good and be fun.
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1861515217/aquelarre-the-dark-and-mature-medieval-rpg-now-in
The text says this is a dark and mature game. So YMMV.
I enjoy the art made to look like old woodcuts, so I ight back it just because of that alone.
Check it out. It looks like a lot of fun.

Kickstart Your Weekend: Alpha Blue
+Venger Satanis is at it again, this time with a sci-fi-ish setting that frankly I am bit excited about.
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1575519826/alpha-blue
You can go to the Kickstarter page to read about it. He has less than a week left.
The premise reminds me of the +Shon Richards' story Pleasure Station Sigma. Which is a good thing in my mind. And, yes growing up in the 70s and 80s I was a fan of adult feature "The Satisfiers of Alpha Blue".
Actually I could go on about Satisfiers. It has some interesting social commentary and Sharon Mitchell has always been a favorite of mine.
I am hopping this will be more like The Islands of Purple-Haunted Putrescence.
It could be fun or it could be completely puerile. I am willing to gamble to check it out.

Kickstart Your Weekend: Spellbook Gaming Boxes
I love seeing things on Kickstarter that I have never seen before. Today's feature certainly qualifies.
Spellbook Gaming Boxes
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1584169644/spellbook-gaming-boxes/
I mean seriously. These look so cool.
I particularly love the one that can hold the four minis and the dice. My first though went right to my iconic witch character Larina. I have four different minis to represent her at different power levels, and I always have some nice dice.
Now if they only had a pentagram for the cover!

Kickstart Your Weekend: Strange Brew UPDATES
So for today's Kickstart Your Weekend I want to give an update on my own project Strange Brew.
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/962794554/strange-brew-pathfinder-the-ultimate-witch-and-war/
So I am late. I am late though for the best of reasons. There is SO MUCH more material that I needed to go through.
I have material here that has never seen the light of day; either in any other publication or this blog. I have material that I have previewed here, I have stuff I have written in the past and am updating it and some of my favorite OGC and other content we have permisson to use.
All of this needs to updated to Pathfinder and made to work together. The spells alone are over 250 pages.
Right now I am working through the Witch themed Prestige Classes (something Pathfinder seriously lacks) and a few new witch-based hybrid classes. I need to give the witch archetypes one more look over and then I will be done.
I do apologize for the delay, but I don't want to give you anything less than the best I can do.
The art in the book is looking fantastic. I love how it is all coming together. I am going to be very proud of this book and I can't wait to share it with you all.

Kickstart Your Weekend: C&C Classic Monsters
I love Castles & Crusades. I love monster books. This is like the Milky Way Dark of sweet spots for me.
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/676918054/castles-and-crusades-classic-monsters/
I am not sure how this one escaped my notice. There is only a little more than a week left.
I reviewed the 1st printing a while back and really enjoyed it. If this one makes it to a full color version it will be a treat.

So I like to support smaller game companies or lines on Kickstarter and I like letting you all know about them.
In the end THIS is what it is all about.

Kickstart Your Weekend: Kings or Pawns
A new Kickstarter was brought to my attention this week that looks rather cool.
I love audio-books. I spend a lot of time driving to work, to campus so I get to listen a ton of books. So this new one from JJ Sherwood looks really great.
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1484616180/kings-or-pawns-steps-of-power-book-i-audiobook
Honest this looks really fun.
Recording a quality audiobook takes time and money. This would be a treat to finally hear.

Kickstart Your Weekend - Castles & Crusades Mythos
I LOVE Castles & Crusades. Really. I love the game, the Troll Lord guys are great, and their books are all works of art.
I also love how C&C plays. It really feels like AD&D 3rd edition to me. (NOT D&D 3e, but AD&D).
One of my favorite things about AD&D was using real world myths in my games. Gods, Demi-Gods and Heroes, Deities & Demigods, countless other books from other publishers...these were my go to books back in the day.
So I am really happy to see that this one is funded and doing well.
http://bit.ly/mythosks
Not one, but three new book from Brian N. Young who brought us the Codex Celtarum and the Codex Nordica. This time we have books for German, Slavic and Classical Greek myths. Sure to be excellent.

Kickstart Your Weekend: Ernest Gary Gygax Jr.'s Marmoreal Tomb
This was one of the big ones I was reading about at Gen Con last week.
Ernest Gary Gygax Jr.'s Marmoreal Tomb Campaign Starter
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1709227718/ernest-gary-gygax-jrs-marmoreal-tomb-campaign-star
Though it doesn't really need my support at this point, it is full of Original Old School street cred and even newer OSR Old School cred.
Frankly I like the idea that it will have addons to work with D&D 5 and White Star.
Personally I am looking forward to the Modern Horror and Castles & Crusades conversions too.
In any case this looks like a lot of fun.

Kickstart Your Weekend: Vermin
GenCon Special!
I had the pleasure of running into Trace Beaulieu aka Dr. Forester from MST3k.
He told me all about this new webs how he is working on, Vermin.
Sounds funny as hell really.
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/792672696/relaunch-vermin-web-show.
Check it out and send some cash their way.
Do it for Crow!

Kickstart Your Weekend: Round-up Edition
Nothing special to share with you today, just some repeats that I really enjoy and a couple of new ones with familiar names. Getting ready for Gen Con.
Reaper Miniatures Bones 3: The Search for Mr. Bones!
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1513061270/reaper-miniatures-bones-3-the-search-for-mr-bones
Man I wish I could paint minis. But I am really, really terrible at it. I can't see the detail and my hand shakes too much thanks to all the caffeine I drink. Still this looks awesome.
Leagues of Gothic Horror

I LOVE Star Trek and this to me is "real" Star Trek. It just looks so good. There is so much love, care and attention put into this I can't wait to see it. Plus pledging for the blu-ray is still cheaper than a night out at the movies with the kids.

Kickstart Your Weekend: Axanar
If you have been on the internet at all over the last year you might have seen the Indiegogo campaign for Star Trek: Axanar. If not, here is the link:
https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/star-trek-axanar#/story
It takes a bit of Star Trek lore, the war between the Klingon Empire and the Federation and talks about the pivotal battle that won the war. The Battle of Axanar and the Captain of that battle, Garth of Izar, were detailed in the Original Series episode "Whom the Gods Destroy".
This though is several orders of magnitude beyond what the Original Series could do in effects and a better story than we have seen in the theatres in a long time.
Here is the first part, done as documentary.
The full movie plans to be even better.
Here is a teaser trailer for the movie with a bit more background on what is going on.
Frankly this looks so good and "feels" like Star Trek.
Plus Tony Todd shouting "I DO NOT FEAR THE KLINGON EMPIRE!"... I mean come on.
That has got to be worth some of your dollars.

Kickstart Your Weekend: Leagues of Gothic Horror
Oh I am quite excited about this one!
Paul Wade-Williams is giving us a followup to his fantastic Leagues of Adventure with Leagues of Gothic Horror!
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1588759266/leagues-of-gothic-horror/description
Already it has blown past it's initial goal and moving on into stretch goals.
It is for the Ubiquity system, which I'll be talking more about next week.
Frankly I think it looks fantastic and I can't wait to add it to my table. I am planning on using it with some Ubiquity games I own AND I want to see how it works with Ghosts of Albion.
