There’s a couple of current crowdfunders that look like they might join the Million Dollar TTRPG Crowdfunder Club. Free League’s Dragonbane: Trudvang looks like a dead cert, and Roll & Play Press (backed by UK Actual Play Mega-Group The High Rollers, who will be appearing at the 02 Arena later this year as part of the D&D Fan Expo) have Altheya: The Dragon Empire, which looks like it is in with a good chance.
One project which has just passed the million dollar mark is Pumpkin Spice, which describes itself as a ‘magical cozy RPG’. Ending in just a couple of days, it’s a TTRPG where you run a magical cafe. It’s a rules-lite, narrative game in which you play a coven of witches who run the aforementioned magical cafe while protecting the ‘Fount of Magic’ from those who would corrupt it.
You can play a Hereditary, Green, Coven, Solitary, Secular, or Traditional witch, each with 6 traits and different magical powers. The game comes in a full-colour hardback book, accompanied by a book of adventures. The game also uses special dice called Essence Dice, with each face showing a different Essence. There is, of course, the usual dizzying array of add-on merch which accompanies most million dollar crowdfunders–t-shirts, cards, notebooks, bags, even a vinyl record with a soundtrack for the game.
Pumpkin Spice comes from Italian publisher Acheron Games (Brancalonia, Lex Arcana, Inferno), and runs until 8pm GMT on March 5th.
