Heroes of the Cypher System: An Interview With Monte Cook

With their latest Kickstarter, Monte Cook Games brings superheroes to the gaming table through the Heroes of the Cypher System. Seeing this system powering a new world brought some questions about their new sourcebooks and how they’d work with the Cypher System, so I reached out to ask. Imagine how excited I was when one of the greatest designers in gaming, Monte Cook, offered to provide these...

RPG Crowdfunding News – Heroes of the Cypher System, Questlings, and more

This week’s RPG crowdfunding projects and quickstarters end on or before December 17th. Because of the holidays, there are a number of campaigns wrapping up between the holidays which makes this week’s list and next week’s list chaotic. To help catch up, I’m looking at seven campaigns. For those that celebrate it, I hope you have as good a Thanksgiving (US) as you can tomorrow.

Suzerain Legends for Savage Worlds: An Interview With MMK (Savage Mojo)

Rone Barton, the co-founder of Iron GM and Iron GM Games, cold messaged me to share the story of MMK of Savage Mojo. With Rone’s credentials and what he told me, I took note because he was giving MMK the spotlight for all of the right reasons. Creators lifting up other creators deserves at least an article, and MMK’s tale of overcoming adversity is exactly what I hoped to report.

RPG Crowdfunding News – Heckna!, Creatures, Skullkickers, and more

In this article, I share two week’s worth of RPG crowdfunding projects, all ending by October 15th. Why share two weeks? Because Morrus and Peter Coffey’s podcast, Morrus’ Unofficial Tabletop RPG Talk, uses this column for their “The Greatest Game In All The World” segment and the end date for each project needs to be moved up to make sure the podcast is timely. That means this week has more...
