ysabetwordsmithI'm browsing Kickstarter before my birthday. These are a few things that caught my eye, although there was nothing that I decided to add to my wishlist as yet.
A Mending
A solo keepsake game about a journey to visit a dear and distant friend, using sewing, map-annotating, and story-building mechanics.
I am seriously tempted by this one. I've never seen anyone combine sewing with gaming before, but it's brilliant, and just so quintessentially women's art. :D Like genderfic, but a game/craft mashup. If hobbits wrote games, this would be it. The $50 level has the cloth map. Already funded, with only 63 hours to go.
So, You've Been Eaten.
Don’t worry, this is simply an occupational hazard.
Hilariously, this is a game about being eaten, and possibly digested or excreted, by a giant space monster while trying to mine crystals from its innards. Not quite my thing, but I am amused that it exists. Fully funded with 7 days to go.
Bestial Ecosystems Created by Monstrous Inhabitation
A guide to dynamic monster ecologies for novel fantasy campaigns.
Possibly of interest to worldbuilders. Me, I made several whole ecosystems for Torn World and more than I can count for my own settings.
The BLACK PACK
Help us celebrate Black History Month by spreading the words of great Black leaders while playing a fun and educational game.
$397 pledged of $23,932 goal, 14 backers, 17 days to go
Probably not going to fund, which is sad, because it looks like a handsome deck and we need more diversity in gaming.
Conversations
A game that makes language learning both fun and easy
$1 pledged of $15,000 goal, 1 backer, 42 days to go
Probably not going to fund, but might be a fun learning tool.
Communism vs Capitalism: War of ideologies
A strategy board game. War between two ideologies, communism and capitalism.
$50 pledged of $22,908 goal, 4 backers, 52 days to go
Mentioned strictly because I think it would've been more interesting with more than 2 economies. The gift economy seems to freak out everyone else, for instance.
Gloomier: A Night at Hemlock Hall is a sequel to the card game Gloom. It's already funded, and the campaign has 16 days left. A interesting feature of this game is its transparent cards, which stack to develop the characters. You're supposed to make them suffer as much as possible before killing them off. Fun for goth and horror lovers.
Wood Runes Dice Sets: Elder Futhark Divination Nordic Viking
Sets of handcrafted wooden cube dice with 24 burned runes.
$400 pledged of $200 goal, 17 backers, 61 hours to go
NOT a game, but rather a divination tool.
