Questlandia is a game where we build a world together, then play out a turning point in its history. We each take on the role of someone living in a fantastical kingdom. Whether our characters are kings or merchants, warriors or gardeners, they’ll attempt to pursue their own dreams while the society around them falls apart. We don’t play as heroes seeking to save our kingdom, but by the end of our story, our actions might change the world.
You’ve no doubt heard Ben mention Questlandia on the show. The makers ( Turtlebun ) have, as it were, ‘done it up’, and are running a Kickstarter for the Updated/Expanded edition, so … here’s the link?
It seems like this might appeal to some folks out there;
How to RPG with Your Cat , Kickstarting right now, from OddFish Games
The Kickstart will end before the next Big Red Couch episode goes to air, so I’m dropping the link here, for those of y’all who might find such a thing of interest.
Journey into a brighter, blacker future with Into the Mother lands, a brand-new sci-fi odyssey role-playing game, developed by a fantastic team of POC RPG designers.
Set on the adopted home planet of Musalia, where humans arrived over 1500 years ago, fans of Wakanda and Star Trek will find a comfortable fit in this universe. Players can play as a descendants of the alien culture that called Musalia home before humans arrived, or as one of the cultures that evolved from the blending of human and alien technology over the centuries. Gameplay focuses on cultures, skills and values, so your character’s abilities are built around what they’re good at and what they care about to ensure a fully invested outcome.
Into the Mother lands offers amazing POC talent to bring you a tale of interstellar exploration and adventurers led astray many generations past.
Former Big Red Coucher Kev put me on to this Kickstart, and it is hitting all of my “I want to go to Wakanda” buttons. It is also hitting my “I would like there to be more diversity in my hobby” buttons, because I probably don’t need to take my shoes off to to be able to count the number of POC folks I’ve sat at a gaming table with. ~ Craig
We were contacted about a Kickstarter campaign, and, as so often happens, it fell with surgical precision into the gap between episodes, so there was no way to get it onto the show in time. So, in the interests of boosting the signal, here’s the pitch;
Fast, modular character generation. Would-be heroes from 62 points and higher as player characters, henchmen, or supporting cast.
Zero-to-Hero with the Dungeon Fantasy RPG Even the mightiest delver started somewhere. An apprentice, a squire or man-at-arms, a backup singer with The Backstreet Bards.
Delvers to Grow allows you to take the part of those starting characters, supporting starting play as low as 62 points. Delvers to Grow provides pre-built modules and packages enabling a player to create a capable, playable character in minutes.
Get gaming. Fast. Fully compatible with the professional template system in the Dungeon Fantasy RPG Adventurers book, Delvers to Grow lets you start much earlier in the hero’s journey, letting both players and GMs ease into the full breadth of capability that the professional delvers of the Dungeon Fantasy RPG bring to the table.
Explore different challenges or use the modules to effortlessly assemble henchmen…or create a starting character to replace the dearly departed.
At the time of writing they’re maybe £1600 away from their goal, with 11 days to go.
