Saturday Crowdfunding Roundup - Steve Russell

I often have three from Kickstarter most weeks but this week I am focused on a single crowdfunding effort.  Earlier this week, the RPG Publishing industry lost a fine fellow who was the head of Rite Publishing.  Steve Russell was a respected publisher, well-loved gamer, and family man expecting a new child this coming winter.  He was lost to us suddenly in a tragic car accident.  His wife and family will be looking at some expenses as a result during their time of grief and anything anyone can do to help them handle this burden will be appreciated.  To throw in your support, go to the GoFundMe page here.

In 2012 the cancer became Stage 4 in his lungs. He has had radiation on the tumors and a variety of chemo medication with many side effects."

Saturday Crowdfunding Roundup - WarQuest, Villains of the Undercity, & AC for Family

Two Kickstarters and a GoFundMe this week with the first being "WarQuest" by Mr. B. Games.  This project has under two weeks left and has passed its substantial initial funding goal.  See more here.  Cool art, cool map, cool minis, too.


Also, check out "Maximum Mayhem Dungeons #3: Villains of the Undercity" by Mark Taormino.  It had a more modest initial funding goal and has surpassed it but with two week left, you might considering jumping on board before this one passes you by.  Find out more here.


Finally, gamer and fine fellow (and Gary Con regular) Tim McCloud has a brother who lives with his wife outside Las Vegas on a fixed income and could use a bit of help replacing their air conditioning unit before the oppressive heat of summer hits with full force.  You can lend a hand in this cause on their GoFundMe page here.

Saturday Crowdfunding Roundup - King's Abbey, Exploding Kittens, & Jeff Perren's Lift

Over on Kickstarter, The King's Abbey Board Game by Randy Rathert has about a week left to go and will need quite a boost if it is to make the target goal.  See more here.


Also on Kickstarter, Exploding Kittens by Shane Small, Elan Lee, and Matt Inman is apparently the single most successful game Kickstarter ever and has nearly a couple of weeks to raise the bar even higher here.


Finally, on GoFundMe, a Stair Lift has been crowdfunded successfully for game designer Jeff Perren, co-creator with Gary Gygax of the original Chainmail rules for medieval miniatures, but these things often have hidden costs so maybe throwing a few more dollars in the kitty is a good idea here.

Saturday Crowdfunding Roundup - Horror, Notebooks, Atlas Kings RPG, & the Games Library Trailer

De Horrore Cosmico - Six Scenarios for Cthulhu Invictus is a Kickstarter by Oscar Rios with about a week to go.  It's already funded and reaching for some stretch goals here.


The Gamer's Notebook Kickstarter by Peter Regan is also funded and has two weeks to go.  You can jump on board here.


The Atlas Kings Tabletop RPG Kickstarter by Hal Burdick is just getting underway.  It's a straightforward, OGL project with some compelling artwork that can be funded here.


Over on GoFundMe, you can help support the effort to fund the Games Library Trailer which travels from convention to convention with games that can be checked out like library books and player at those events.  It's a worthy cause and made all the more so since the guy in charge has had some mounting medical bills keeping him from replacing the original trailer that has served so well for eight years.  See more here.
