Tavern Talk Thursday: January Kickstarters to Keep an Eye On

Julia Roth

The three Kickstarters we should keep an eye on in January including screenshots from The Ace of Spades, Elite Undead and Moss, Stone & Steel.

Welcome to Tavern Talk Thursday! We are expanding! What started as a column dedicated to chatting with members of the TTRPG community is growing to talk about all things TTRPG and board games. We aim to continue sharing everything we love about the community and all the content within. So, consider this a little peek into our favorite worlds and creators as we explore everything we love.

As the holidays pass by and we prepare to ring in the new year, we are excited to look toward the future. And here in the tavern, that means January Kickstarters, which we all need to keep an eye on. And with gift-giving season still upon us, these could make great gifts. So whether you are looking for yourself or a friend, here are three TTRPG Kickstarters high on our radars.

Medieval Dark Fantasy TTRPG: Moss, Stone & Steel

We are kicking off the January list with Ramsay McGregor’s Moss, Stone & Steel. This is a fun yet immersive game system built to allow players to roleplay within a dark fantasy-type world or sword and sorcery. McGregor’s goal is to give new life to the world and allow players to immerse themselves truly. There is a lot to love within the Kickstarter that piqued our interest, including a different take on combat and a trait-based system.

Elite Undead Handmade Dice Set & Sourcebook

RPCraft Publishing is giving TTRPG players much to be excited about with their Kickstarter for Elite Undead. This is a sourcebook that dives deep into necromantic arts. They have everything from a unique vampire class with three subclasses, feats, items and undead NPCs. It’s perfect for players who love vampire lore. Along with the sourcebook are three beautiful and unique dice sets that correspond with the story they are telling. It makes our little dice goblin hearts warm and fuzzy.

The Ace of Spades: A D&D Drop-In Casino

For dungeon masters looking to add excitement to their ongoing campaign, we highly suggest checking out GreedyGorgonPress’ The Ace of Spades. This prebuilt casino is ready to give your players a night on the town. It includes 10 dice games, unique NPCs, drinks and a heist adventure that will take players on a wild ride. It’s well fleshed out, so dungeon masters can let it back and let loose as their players enjoy exciting entertainment and gamble away a bit of their gold.
