Library Turned Game Store?

I recently heard about an old library building in Elwood, IN, that is up for sale and thought, "What a nifty game store this might be!"  It's about an hour North-Northwest of Indianapolis's center, spacious, with large windows and wonderful woodworking.  I daresay, once you've seen the pictures, it could be hard to imagine it as becoming anything else.  Read more on MessyNessy 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.
