Project Update: Crowdfunding Carnival: Zine Month 2026

Taking off my 'making TTRPGs' hat for a moment and putting on my 'run a TTRPG site' hat so that I may invite you into the tent for a the Crowdfunding Carnival!

My fellow Cannibal Halfling, Aaron Marks, writes an article in this series at the start of every month to highlight interesting TTRPG projects that are on the crowdfunding circuit. Of course we're in Zine Month, so Aaron typically circles around halfway through to take another look. This year, Aaron has used the special 13th Carnival to focus specifically on projects that haven't hit their funding goal as of the article being posted, in an effort to get them the help they need.

By necessity, this does mean there are some projects from the Other Crowdfunding Site, but BackerKit ZineTopia projects will get to your eyeballs first, and there are five of them! So give the Carnival a look, check out some more cool Zine Month projects wherever they can be found, and if you happen to like what the rest of Cannibal Halfling Gaming is offering, well, so much the better!

Project Update: Stretch Goal Reached! The Cog That Remains Goes To Print

We did it!!!

Surpassing the $1,600.00 mark means that I’ll be able to do a print run of The Cog That Remains as well, putting my entire increasingly unplanned trilogy of (mostly) solo mecha TTRPGs out there on shelves to be found in the wild.

As promised, The Cog That Remains print-on-demand coupon has been added to EVERY pledge level, letting everyone get it for $5 instead of $14.95. I’ll be adding a PDF+Print add-on later tonight as well for those who would like to take care of everything at once.

Thank you so much for all your support!

Project Update: Tales from the Cockpit Play Log: - Poll #3

Act 1, featuring the tales of an Engineer and a Transferred Veteran, has been told! For Act II, an Artificial Human and an Outlaw will be taking the controls - the Outlaw got the nod after five tosses of the coin. Before Act II gets posted, however, who will joining "Lightning Cog's" Tale in Act III?

This one may behave a little differently, because how many Pilots you write about in Act III can be determined by how you choose to Rest: if you Rest for a total of ten minutes, your next Pilot is your last one. So, there may be a third pilot, maybe even more. Still, ties will continue to be broken by die roll, from d2 to d5 as needed - as of this update I'll be needing at least a d4, so vote and let's see how the Tale ends!

An Artificial Human and an Outlaw (who won the best-of-five d2 toss on the fifth one) took the controls in the Divided Century, but who finds themselves in the cockpit as The New World dawns?

Tales from the Cockpit is nice, don't get me wrong, but there are a lot more cool ZineTopia projects out there! Here are a few of them, a mix of standalone games and supplements. Keep an eye out for cross-collab opportunities - some of these projects are ZineTopia partners, and by backing both of them you'll get an extra reward.
