Golden here, in this update I want to share a little about the holiday market, highlight some cool projects that are crowdfunding now alongside ours, and give all of those not already familiar with The International Player's Review a preview of what can be found inside.
IPR Sneak Peek!
Just like the classic TTRPG mags that inspired it, each issue comes with a Letters section. Yup, readers can write in, but I am starting to suspect Mr. Bohannon may have fudged a few himself.
Another highlight is the well received caveman game Year 100 Million B.C. Highly historically inaccurate and the premier game for prehistoric hi-jinx. Includes everything you need to play, including a key overland map and a cave exploration.
On each back cover you'll find advertisements for entries in the long-promised Axzalathor adventure series. We keep featuring them, so surely those adventures are releasing any day now, right?
Supporting Indie Creators this Holiday Season
It's been a lot of fun to be part of Backerkit's first ever Holiday Market and I hope you've all had a chance to shop some of the hidden gems on offer. There's lots to choose from Mausritter adventures, to classic OSR content, and small Indie games and Dave and I are stoked that you've decided to join us for the ride. Along with our campaign I wanted to take a moment to share some of the other campaigns that Mr. Bohanon and the gang at head office have been following that might tickle your fancy.
A new rules-lite OSR game. It's Waterworld meets Windwaker, from the creators of the highly rated Eco Mofos. Hop from beautiful, apocalyptic island to island, hand-drawn by graphic novelist Daniel Locke.
The past is a hazy legend, the story scattered over thousands of lost usbs and buried deep in silos, but the future is there to be written
Diogo Barros is one of those annoying people who can write, do graphic design and illustrate all on very high level. His new Mausritter adventure, Soul Food is a darkly humorous exploration of a sprawling countryside kitchen where brave mice confront its myriad vermin denizens to fight for a piece of the literal pie.
Everything Diogo does drips personality.
A new folk horror game from the mastermind behind Forbidden Psalm (so you already know it’ll be good). Run From the Dark is set far into the future, where technology has fallen away and small settlements eke out an existence amongst the relics of our lost age. Inspired by Wales and its folklore, the real-world-with-a-twist map is fantastic and makes me want to jump in immediately.
