Kickstarter Monthly
Hello, fellow gamers! Here’s your monthly (soon to be bi-monthly, because dangit, some of these go fast!), kickstarter list.
If you ever got begged to run a chibi-style game… here’s one way to get the miniatures.
This is Heroforge, at it again with customizable miniatures. They have four days to go as of this posting, and are not yet at their goal.
Heroforge has improved on quality since their last Kickstarter, and as far as I can tell, have delivered.

If you want metal dice for your CoC campaign… here’s your chance?! Best jump though, they’re coming up on the two-day warning.
I don’t have much to say about this other than Q-Workshop is a good shop and while they’re not fast, they do turn out some very nice dice.

Autarch is doing Heroic Fantasy supplements; ala R.E.Howard, or J.R.R.Tolkien. Low-magic fantasy, anyone? As tricky as this is to do well, a system-agnostic supplement seems to me to be a no-brainer. On the other hand, I do love me some supplements, so.. YMMV.
This one has about six days left. Don’t know much about the creator.
Lankhmar! With fiction! Fans of Fafhrd and the Grey Mouser will probably be more familiar with this than I am; I somehow managed to miss this pair while traipsing through fantasy worlds.
But! If you, like me, missed out the first time, this is your chance to correct that oversight.
Goodman Games seems to have a good rep; I’ve heard no ill about them.
I know we’ve got some 5e GMs around here; this looks like a useful kit. Now I think of it, some of the parts might be useful to any GM, and there appear to be many options for getting just the parts you want.
Sadly, this ends in fifteen hours, so not much time to think about it.

Need a gift for the gamer in your life? This might be a good option (be sure to have this year’s gift handy, though!). Oh, the pretties. This is the longest running of this month’s kickstarters, at 18 days left.
I don’t know anything about the creator and this is their first Kickstarter, so caveat emptor.
