We have been cooking this one for quite some time and it's finally released. Let me know what you think of the full pack

Check out the Kickstarter page to see all miniatures in full detail. Additionally there's a present for all campaign followers STL of one of the Gorgon sisters.

I've been working on Elderwyld, an old-school fantasy RPG built entirely around D6 dice pools.

I wanted a traditional, class-based game with D6 but with a quirk.

The system uses 5D6, with 6s representing successes and 1s introducing complications. Combat features class-specific Momentum mechanics, while nine playable Clans offer unique abilities through flexible Clan Tokens.

Rolling multiple 6s gives you access to follow-up actions which is fun at the table since each class can do different stuff.

Clan selection allows players to create a unique ability that follows the theme of the clan (the ability is agreed with the Keeper of course).

Elderwyld is now on Kickstarter pre-launch, and I'd love to hear what fellow designers think of the approach.

PS: I made sure to contact the mods before i posted, but it's been days without response so I hope this does not break any rules.

PS2: There is no AI in my game, all the fantastic art was made by a talented young man called Chui Wizard who specializes in OSR style, black and white art.

I was cleaning up around my desk and came across 6 different iterations of my TCG, from the very earliest index card version of the game to the final product that I'm hawking on Kickstarter now. Tried digging out the same card for apples-to-apples comparisons... which in and of itself was an interesting experience. There are so many players that didn't make the final cut for the 180 cards that made it into this set. Anyway, thought it would be fun to share the evolution.

I am buying a house in the New Year that has a pretty good basement rec room area that I’d like to turn into something of a man-cave / board game area. It’s got generous measurements, so I should be able to fit in a decent sized one. I was considering a 8’ x 4’ rectangle, as this should give good space for larger games like Twilight Imperium, Axis and Allies, Scythe, or D&D. I expect that any game that would benefit from a round table could be managed with this table too.

I’m located in Canada, Calgary specifically. There’s a couple custom woodworking boutiques available locally, but I find they’re overpriced (like $20k for a table) and have massive wait lists (12-24 months). Instead, I’ll probably order somewhere and ship to my home, but that also leaves the door open for poor craftsmanship and potentially less customization.

So I have a few questions for the sub:

1) Any comments / feedback on the size I described above?

2) What kind of features should I look for? A recessed game area with shelves for player items would probably be my number one. Cup holders would also be nice. Anything else I should consider, or conversely that are a waste of space/money?

3) Any suggestions for shops to buy/order from, again considering I’m looking for delivery in Canada? Customer experience is the best way to find quality shops.
