Greetings once more from the Tabletop Multiverse!
Apologies for my absence, but it has been a very busy time for me between work, getting married, putting a lot of effort my tabletop RPG project, and much more.
I hope I will be able to return to posting on this blog again now. Exactly how often I will be able to post remains to be seen, and will most definitely depend on what is happening IRL for me.
This will most likely be a short post - meant more as a sign of life than anything else really.
So this means no new RPG-related news from me in this.
In my absence I did take the time to pledge for a Kickstarter from Free League - their new game Forbidden Lands which I think looks amazing. :) I really can't wait to give it a try once it arrives!
As I mentioned earlier, I have been spending time working on my own tabletop rpg project as well. I've been developing a game system as well as a world. It is far from finished yet. I guess you could say it is still in alpha. I do enjoy the challenge and the process of writing it though. It would be a dream to get it published some day for others to enjoy as well, but at the moment I am far away from being able to do that.
I'll return and write more about the project and what I am doing in a future post.
For now, it is time for this weary traveler of the Tabletop Multiverse's many winding paths to go rest his head for a bit and enjoy that thing widely known as "sleep".
Until next time!

Kickstarter for Journey to Ragnarok for 5th edition D&D
Greetings once more from somewhere within the Tabletop Multiverse.
History is one of my great interests in life, along side world-building, role playing games, and a few other things.
When it comes to my interest in history, one of the things I have read the most about is the Viking age. Not that strange really, since I am Swedish after all. The viking age was part of my people's history. There's a lot more to it than just plundering "heathens", going out killing and raping for fun. That's not a very accurate description of the "vikings" (though I much prefer to call them Norsemen, so I will do so henceforth).
Anyway, this isn't a history blog, so let's connect this to something tabletop-related.
I've played a few Viking-based tabletop rpgs in my days, for example games like Viking (a swedish game), Yggdrasil (by Cubicle 7), as well as GURPS viking supplements, and a few others. I might come back to those in a different post (or a few posts), as well as games based on other historical periods, because I do think some of the games are really good.
What I want to talk about today though is a new supplement for 5th edition D&D that is up on Kickstarter called Journey to Ragnarok, where you get to be part of a story that culminates with Ragnarok itself. The video on the Kickstarter mentions you fighting side by side with the gods themselves.
From the Kickstarter page:
Then again, Norse mythology is full of enough uncertainties that there is ample room for that. :)
Either way, I am looking forward to seeing how it goes.
Currently (at the time of writing this), they are already more than 4 times over their goal, with 22 days to go on the Kickstarter. If you think it sounds interesting, or already know enough about it and want to help them unlock even more stretch-goals, head over to the Kickstarter and check it out!
I'll see you all again, somewhere on the winding roads of the Tabletop Multiverse!

From the Kickstarter page:
It will be very interesting to see how they have handled the mythology and what, if any (though this is D&D so there will probably be some at least), fantasy elements they've worked in.The idea behind Journey To Ragnarok was to merge our biggest passions: the 5th Edition of the most famous roleplaying game of all time and, of course, Norse Mythology.Every single event, NPC or encounter that will cross Adventurers' path is the result of more than 15 years of love and research, readings and travels.Our intent is to let the Adventurers discover and explore the true origins of Norse Mythology, that has deeply influenced Fantasy literature, games,comics and movies.
Then again, Norse mythology is full of enough uncertainties that there is ample room for that. :)

Kickstarter for Karvosti - The Witch Hammer
Greetings, once again, from somewhere within the Tabletop Multiverse.
Today we're diving into the world of the Swedish tabletop RPG sensation known as Symbaroum. Or, more precisely, the campaign they currently have on Kickstarter, namely: Karvosti - The Witch Hammer. It is for the english translation of the adventure, which is already out in swedish.
It's been up for a few days, but still has 15 days to go on it's Kickstarter run. Not that it really needs it as it has already been funded several times over. Then again, that also shows how much people are looking forward to its release. I think it is also a general indicator of the popularity that Symbaroum in general has been enjoying ever since its launch - and with good reasons! It is a great game to play, and has garnered a lot of interest. As a result it has already been translated in a few languages.
Did you enjoy adventuring in the Chronicle of the Throne of Thorns campaign? "Karvosti - the Witch Hammer" is a freestanding sequel to that campaign, following the "Thistle Hold - Wrath of the Warden" which was the first. It is going to be 152 pages of adventure.
From the Kickstarter:
Take a look at it if you haven't already, and if you like it give it a pledge. It'll help them unlock more stretch goals for what I think will be another really good product from them.
And if you haven't checked out the Symbaroum game, you can do so here.
Until next time!

From the Kickstarter:
The Kickstarter is doing really well. With 15 days to go they have, at the time of me writing this, 418 backers, and have so far amassed SEK 327,429 (SEK = swedish kronor). Their goal was SEK 50,000.Karvosti – The Witch Hammer is the second episode in the Chronicle of the Throne of Thorns. The 152 page book is a freestanding sequel to Thistle Hold – Wrath of the Warden and will be followed by five other episodes.It is through these campaign and adventure modules that we will keep building the world of Symbaroum; aside from an in-depth introduction to a specific region in Ambria, Davokar or beyond, each book will introduce new optional rules and features: abilities, (monstrous) traits, mystical powers and rituals, creatures, artifacts, elixirs and much more.Looking at this second episode in particular, it focuses on the cliff of Karvosti – the age-old thingstead of the barbarian High Chieftain, located deep within the forest of Davokar. The module is divided into three sections…
Take a look at it if you haven't already, and if you like it give it a pledge. It'll help them unlock more stretch goals for what I think will be another really good product from them.

Kickstarter for Lex Occultum (formerly Götterdämmerung)
Greetings travellers, and welcome to another entry from somewhere in the Tabletop Multiverse!
This time I have turned my attention to a Kickstarter from Swedish tabletop game developer RiotMinds (link goes to the Swedish website). They are running a Kickstarter for their new game Lex Occultum, which as far as I have been able to find out is a new version of their old game Götterdämmerung.
The game has won the "Game of the Year" award in Sweden, and this Kickstarter aims to fund an english version of the game as well. So far, they have already beaten their goal, with 26 days to go, so hopefully they can get enough to reach some of the stretch goals. :)
As for the game itself, it takes place in the 18th century, and deals with the occult and supernatural. You get to fight against supernatural creatures with your flintlock and lantern. Originally this game was going to precede the company's other major game Trudvang Chronicles for an english translation and release, but the company swapped them around. Now however, they are getting around to Lex Occultum again, and it should be one to look forward to! :) It is a really good game game, full of flintlocks, mysteries, secret societies, occultism, magic, and much much more. All taking place in the 18th century, as I said. This is a dark game, with a dark atmosphere.
This is from the game's Kickstarter page:
As I mentioned earlier there are 26 days to go on the Kickstarter. If what you've read above sounds interesting to you then you should definitely go check it out!
Until we meet again, somewhere on the long and winding paths of the Tabletop Multiverse.

This is from the game's Kickstarter page:
"Europe, 18th century. The church is losing its grip on men struggling with old beliefs and dogmas. Alchemists, occultists and secret societies dig deep into old mysteries and ancient obscurities. Enlightenment is not only about breaking free from old institutions and structures, but also about discovering what has been hidden for hundreds of years, even millenniums. Illuminati, Freemasons, the old Templars and other secret societies hide in dark chambers plotting for a new world order, or to just uncover the dark arts and ancient wisdoms.The nobles and aristocrats is a dying breed living in full decadence and excess while the common people suffer in poverty. This is the era of Enlightment, but also ignorance. Few know anything about the growing darkness; the vampires and offspring of the devil, and while conspiracies grow under the surface, kings and priests preach about submission and obedience. But who is to save men from the twilight of the gods, from falling into the darkness and be consumed by evil? Is it true that the apocalypse is soon to come?LexOccultum takes place in a fictive historical 18th century, where the occult and supernatural is real but not yet in full bloom.
This is a game about flintlock pistols, filthy grave diggers, lanterns, werewolves, wine and decadence, secret societies, conspiracies and mysteries too dangerous to uncover. It’s a game about explorers battling the raging seas, the truth about the Templars, holy bloodlines, a quiet war between men and beast. Discover the corrupt Paris, the smoke filled London, "gin craze" and alchemists search for the Philosopher's stone. Dig deep into the cabbala system and ancient mysteries of old Egypt."
As I mentioned earlier there are 26 days to go on the Kickstarter. If what you've read above sounds interesting to you then you should definitely go check it out!
Until we meet again, somewhere on the long and winding paths of the Tabletop Multiverse.

Shiantiara RPG is up on Kickstarter
Greetings fellow travelers of the tabletop multiverse!
This time of year is a busy time for me, so updates have been a bit scarcer than I would have liked.
Let us talk today about a Kickstarter I recently found. It is for a tabletop roleplaying game called Shintiara.
The story is quite interesting. Shintiara is a planet trapped between a black hole and a star, and the actions of the players will help determine the destiny of the planet. Will it be swallowed by the black hole, or will the star keep it from its ultimate demise? The constant struggle between the black hole and the star causes time paradoxes to appear frequently on Shintiara, with the future and past constantly mixing. The game also appears to have a mix of magic and technology, often intertwined and co-existing and even working as one on many occasions.
The Kickstarter has 39 days left to go at the time of writing this article, and they have so far reached 3,730 euro out of an asked 5,000 euro.
Go check out the Kickstarter and if you like it give it a pledge. :)
Until next time!

Kickstarter for new Pathfinder adventure book
Greetings from the Tabletop Multiverse!
There is a new adventure up on Kickstarter for Pathfinder. It is called "The Crossing" and is the third book in the "Return to the Fey" adventure path for the "Dark Return" setting. It is made for 4-6 players using lvl 3-4 characters, so it is a pretty low-level adventure, but if you don't mind that, or if you are new to the game, it is as good a place as any to start.
Here is a link to the Kickstarter page. Go take a look at it if you are interested.

The Earth Brewery - new Kickstarter from Dicey Ventures Studios
Greetings from the vast expanses of the Tabletop Multiverse, fellow travelers!
Recently I found out that the good folks at Dicey Ventures Studios are planning a Kickstarter for their latest 3D printed tabletop terrain model, so I figured I would give them a hand and help spread the word.
As a little background, I first ran into Dicey Ventures Studios via their Twitter account, and from what I have seen of their work since they seem to be really good at what they do. They also seem like nice people, which is always a plus.
Their latest venture then is what they call their Elemental Village, which consists of stylized, 3D printed tabletop terrain models, that can be used for wargaming as well as adventure gaming.
Sounds neat, doesn't it? That's straight from their website.
So, what about this upcoming Kickstarter then? Well, it is for a model in the Elemental Village model-series, called the "Earth Brewery". You might be interested to find that they actually held a poll on their website for what model to make next, and this was the winning result! They also held a coloring contest for it among their followers, and picked a winner. Gotta love it when a company is listening to their community and lets them get involved. :)
They've held a Kickstarter before, for their Venture Dice Bags in 2015, which was successfully funded. I'm hoping they will have the same luck this time, because the brewery looks great!
The brewery will be sold as 28 mm, 3D printed models, rather than made using resin. As I understand it, by pledging at the Kickstarter you will be able to get the STL file and 3D print it yourself - provided you have access to a 3D printer, of course - or you can ask Dicey Ventures Studios to print it for you.
Having been in contact with them, they sent me the following key points regarding the Earth Brewery and the Kickstarter:
I like the fact that "All Core Elemental Village Models Available as Physical Add-ons" as you can see in the image below. Among them you can also find the Water Dwelling that they mentioned in the quoted list above.
The Kickstarter for the Earth Brewery goes live at 11 am EST today, November 1st, if I understood it correctly. I'm looking forward to checking it out once it is live. I am hopeful that they will do well, because it is a really nice looking product they have there. Also it is always nice when a smaller studio does well for themselves. :)
There is also a video up on Facebook of someone unboxing the Earth Brewery model. It can be found right here for anyone interested.
So feel free to go check it out and if you like what you see give them a pledge. The Kickstarter hasn't started up yet at the time of writing this, but I will keep my eyes open for when it does. If you want to you can also go check out their website. Links can be found earlier in the text.
Until next time, my fellow travellers!

The Elemental Village is a set of 28mm fantasy terrain that is designed to be used with and for any tabletop wargame or adventure game. Fantastically crafted by expert goblins, these one of a kind Chibi inspired tabletop terrain pieces will ornament your gameplay in a way that cannot be found anywhere else. Each Digital Element Pack comes with STL Files, Print & Color Guides to help you along the way.

*3D printed model
*$20 price point for physical model, $10 for STL 3D printing file
*Yuletide Brewery pledge level offering December 2016 shipping, in time for the holidays!
*Other shipping waves with January and February 2017 fulfillment
We’ll Print It For You-
*All Core Elemental Village Models Available as Physical Add-ons
*Price range of $8-$30 per model
*Day 1 stretch goal-If the Earth Brewery campaign reaches $1000 in the first 24 hours, all backers who pledge for the Brewery will receive a free Water Dwelling!

Kickstarter for Mutant: Elysium, the new expansion for Mutant: Year Zero.
Greetings!
Fria Ligan (English website: Free League Publishing) has started up a Kickstarter for their new expansion for Mutant: Year Zero, called Mutant: Elysium. It will be the 3rd major expansion for Mutant: Year Zero, the previous two being Mutant: Gene Lab Alpha and Mutant: Machinarium.
The current Kickstarter is only for the Swedish version of the game, but according to Fria Ligan there will be a translated version in English released at a later, so far unspecified, date.
This new expansion deals with the un-mutated humans that remain in the world, their "Ätter" (which I suppose could be translated into "clans") and their life in the enclave 'Elysium I'. It will contain new rules, a colour map, a new campaign, and much more.
The Kickstarter has only been up a few days, but it has already amassed 448 backers and almost 6 times their pledge-goal, currently sitting (at the time of writing this) at 333,397 SEK (Swedish crowns) out of a goal of 50,000 SEK. They have already unlocked 5 out of 9 stretch goals. and I hope they will get to unlock all of them. There is also still 17 days to go on the Kickstarter, so if you go to the Kickstarter which is linked at the start of this post and like what you see, there is still time if you want to back it.
Personally I used to really enjoy playing the Mutant games back in the day. I enjoy Mutant: Year Zero as well, but have as of yet not found someone to play it, or any of the expansions, with, or really the time, so I can't really say much about what it is like to play. However I have heard a lot of good things about it, so I am excited for when I can give it a try. :)

New expansion for Mutant: Year Zero coming up.
Greetings!
Swedish RPG company Free League Publishing (Fria Ligan in Swedish), who created Mutant: Year Zero, has announced a new expansion for the game, the third one so far, called Mutant: Elysium. They will be launching the Kickstarter for it tomorrow (Thursday). This time it is about non-mutated humans in the post-apocalyptic setting of Mutant: Year Zero.
They haven't released much else in terms of information about it yet, save for a teaser picture which can be found, for example, on their Facebook page. It is only showing a part of the cover image for Mutant: Elysium, with a promise to show more of it once the Kickstarter is up and running. The image was made by Simon Stålenhag.
Personally, I really like Mutant: Year Zero, both the setting and the rule-set for it. So I will definitely check it out once it comes up on Kickstarter. At the time of writing this blog post I still don't know whether the Kickstarter is for the Swedish version only, or whether there will also be an English version. My guess is that there will be one, but I am unsure when.

Mutant Chronicles: Siege of the Citadel miniatures boardgame
Greetings!
Yesterday Fantasy Flight Games announced that they have entered a publishing partnership with Modiphius Entertainment and Cabinet Entertainment to publish and distribute Siege of the Citadel, a miniatures boardgame tie-in to the Mutant Chronicles franchise. The game first arrived in 1990's and is now getting a new, updated version after Modiphius launched the 3rd edition of Mutant Chronicles.
The game is currently in the final stages of its Kickstarter, with only 28 hours left to go at the time of writing this post. It has done really well for itself, so far amassing over $400.000. The goal was set at $60.000, in case you were wondering.
I wish them all the best, having played the game back in the day on a couple of occasions. Though I was always a bigger fan of the tabletop RPG version of Mutant Chronicles. I love its lore and have many fond memories of playing it. I might return with a review of the older versions of the game, and a look at the new 3rd edition as well. As for the miniatures board-game, I might. It depends on a few things.
I still wish them the best of luck with it and I hope it does really well. It is always good to see old Swedish titles getting revived again and doing well. It gives other people a chance to enjoy the games that I used to play when I was younger. :) Though the game mechanics are different in the newest version of the game of course, but that was only to be expected.
Anyway, I could talk on and on about it for ages so I think I will save that for another post.
If you want a link to the official statement from Fantasy Flight Games, you can find it here.

A short preview of Thornwatch.
Greetings folks!
Today, I thought I would talk a little bit about a game that I first heard about only recently, but which may be interesting to try at some point. I am talking about 'Thornwatch', a graphic novel adventure game made by Lone Shark Games and the people from Penny Arcade.
I has had a very successful Kickstarter, which has already reached almost $400,000 with 18 days to go at the time of writing this post. That can be compared to the goal which was set at $78,000.
One of the players will act as the 'judge', who picks the storyboard for the game and acts as a kind of 'game master' for the game, controlling the monsters and challenges that the players face. The other players will play as members of the 'Thornwatch', a group which is tasked with protecting the Eyrewood, the place where the game itself takes place. The game uses cards, as well as dice.
The game looks interesting, and the amount of backing it has seen is impressive. I might try it out at some point after it has been released and maybe even try my hand at reviewing it.
In the meantime, head over to their Kickstarter if you want to take a look.
See you all in the next post!
