I have some great-looking Kickstarters for your consideration going into the weekend. So's let get at it!
SURVIVE THIS!! Dark Places & Demogorgons RPG Hardcover
This is not for a new book but rather a hardcover option for the fantastic Dark Places & Demogorgons RPG. For this the original red hardcover art from the first Kickstart is available and the blue softcover art in hardcover format.
I have the blue in softcover and the red in hardcover, so I have to admit that the blue hardcover is very, very tempting.

Now this "Queer Game of Disco & Cosmic Horror" has my attention. I have known the designer, Richard Ruane, for many, many years. We have worked together in our days jobs at various companies for a while. He does great work. He was one of the developers for White Wolf and worked a lot on their Mummy line.
From the Kickstarter:
Moonlight on Roseville Beach: A Queer Game of Disco & Cosmic Horror is a tabletop roleplaying game that brings together the supernatural investigations and monster hunting of the weird fiction tales of the 20s and 30s from pulp magazines like Weird Tales with the queer romance and adventure of the 50s, 60s, and 70s novelists like Ann Bannon and Joseph Hansen.
I would like to say "I was there" when Richard came up with this idea. He was talking a lot about Ann Bannon online so I asked about her stories. As per our normal conversations, the topic went to RPGs.
In any case, I backed this one and threw in some extra cash so copies can be donated.
Red Shoes: An Urban Fantasy Novel
https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/red-shoes-an-urban-fantasy-novel#/
This is not a game, but a new book Satyros Phil Brucato one of the lead designers (or really THE designer) of White Wolf's Mage.
From the Indiegogo page.
After a friend’s mysterious death, Genét Shilling delves into the world of Red Shoes, a drug whose effects alter time, space, and form. That journey challenges all she thought she knew about herself and reveals how strange her world truly is.
Propelled by wide-eyed attitude and inspired by its author’s experiences with music, dance and metaphysical subcultures, Red Shoes presents an urban fantasy tale set in the Appalachian town of Riverhaven, where magic hides just out of sight.
Time warps. Modern bards. Sexual confusion. Grief and revenge.
A dance begins.
The dance of Red Shoes.
It sounds fantastic.

Now this is right up my alley!
From the Kickstarter:
“LYLITH & MARA” are twin sisters and the original Vampire and Succubus from who all other vampire races were evolved from. Born and raised in “The Dark”, their destiny seemed clear cut until on the age of their “becoming” when something within them stirs. A conflict between power and desires struggles with a morality of a soul they didn’t realized existed.
This also looks like a lot of fun. Sure some of the cover art is cheesy, but I think it is cheesy, or cheese cakey, on purpose. So that is fine.
It looks like something that would work well with my Mara witch book.
