The 7th Sea 3rd Edition role-playing game Kickstarter, developed by Studio Agate and licensed through Chaosium, successfully launched and was fully funded in under 30 minutes. This new edition advances the setting timeline in Théah by 10 years to 1678 and is designed to be backwards compatible with 2nd Edition materials. The mechanics have been overhauled to focus on cinematic action using a modernized “Roll & Keep” system that incorporates two colors of d10s: one for Action and one for Wound dice. Available pledge tiers range from a PDF Collection (~~$70 USD) to Deluxe Box Sets (~~$187 – $280 USD), and the campaign is set to conclude on April 9th, 2026. The DreadBall All-Stars Kickstarter by Mantic Games offers a new, standalone sci-fi sports board game that veterans Jervis Johnson and Alessio Cavatore designed to be a “full-contact version of NBA Basketball”. The game streamlines action for fast-paced, 60-minute matches by removing extensive team-building in favor of pre-assembled miniatures and fixed rosters. It features tactical play resolved via challenge rolls and “DreadBall cards,” multiple unique arenas that dynamically change the rules, and a new Battle Royale mode for 3 to 6 players. Mantic is providing the complete game and best value upfront, having opted out of traditional stretch goals, with the campaign concluding on April 9, 2026. The Warmachine 3D: Lost, Damned & Salvation campaign by Steamforged Games is running on the MyMiniFactory FronTier platform, acting as a limited-time discounted pre-order for official, 3D-printable STL files. The campaign offers files for three *Warmachine* armies currently playable in the MK4 edition ruleset: Grymkin, Infernals, and Convergence of Cyriss. Customers can purchase a Single Army for $150 or the All-In Bundle for $299. The models will eventually be released on the standard MyMiniFactory store at a higher individual price after the 14-day FronTier campaign concludes. Tunnels & Trolls: A New Age is a Kickstarter reboot of the classic 1975 heroic fantasy TTRPG, published by Rebellion Unplugged, which aims to be a simpler, less confusing alternative to D&D. The system uses D6 dice pools with “Exploding Dice” for fast, chaotic conflict resolution, prioritizing luck and risk over optimized builds. While the system itself is described as simple and robust, the reviewer expressed mixed feelings due to the Quickstart adventure. The introductory quest—clearing rats from a basement—was criticized for its dullness and inclusion of archaic design choices, such as requiring a skill roll just to open a door. The campaign offers a core rulebook, a campaign book, a city setting book, and solo adventures. #7thsea #dreadball #warmachine #tunnelsandtrolls 7th Sea 3rd Edition Kickstarter: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/agate/7th-sea-ttrpg-a-new-journey Dreadball All-Stars: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/manticgames/dreadball-all-stars-the-sci-fi-sports-game Warmachine Frontier: https://www.myminifactory.com/frontier/warmachine-lost-damned-salvation-5274 Tunnels & Trolls: A New Era: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/rebellionunplugged/tunnels-and-trolls-a-new-age Definitive HATE on MyMiniFactory: https://www.myminifactory.com/frontier/hate-the-definitive-miniature-collection-5301 Sean Aaberg's Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/cw/seanaaberg LowLife Sign Up: https://www.dungeondegenerates.com/ Warmachine on MyMiniFactory: https://mmf.io/upturned Mantic Companion App: https://companion.manticgames.com/ Use our Referral code: MCTXEE Support us by Shopping at Miniature Market (afilliate link): https://miniature-market.sjv.io/K0yj7n Support Us by Shopping on DTRPG (afilliate link): https://www.drivethrurpg.com?affiliate_id=2081746 Matt’s DriveThruRPG Publications: https://www.drivethrurpg.com/browse.php?author=Matthew%20Robinson https://substack.com/@matthewrobinson3 Chris on social media: https://hyvemynd.itch.io/​​ Jeremy's Links: http://www.abusecartoons.com/​​ http://www.rcharvey.com ​​Support Us on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/upturnedtable Give us a tip on our livestream: https://streamlabs.com/upturnedtabletop/tip​ Donate or give us a tip on Paypal: https://www.paypal.com/ncp/payment/2754JZFW2QZU4 Intro song is “Chips” by KokoroNoMe https://kokoronome.bandcamp.com/

Transcript This week, now that the part of season 3 that was funded by Kickstarter is over, I've got a treat for you: the backers-only bonus episode with Mikey Hamm, designer of Slugblaster. You didn't think I was gonna just hold on to an episode this good forever, did you? It's the show's namesake mechanic! Mikey is currently Kickstarting Two-Hand Path, a solo game roll-and-write dungeon crawler. Check it out. While I thought this episode would be a big of a goof about a goofy mechanic (and it is), it also brought out some of the most thoughtful thoughts on deploying mechanics with precision and purpose that I've had on the show yet. Also, we had a blast. A slug blast.

Who can it be?Remember you can support everything we can do at patreon.com/geekio - it's also how you get an ad-free stream!

This week on Exploding Dice, the team continues to dive into their greatest loves: breakfast. Also, things just don't seem to be in ... Look up to the skies, heroes! Nothing to see here!patreon.com/geekioshow@geek-io.nettwitter.com/geekioshowfacebook.com/geekioshow

It's back to school season for the Gatewatch! Certainly nothing at all wrong can go happening when group visit college old El's! Join us this week on Exploding dice where we find out what angers our players more than stairs! Hey! Look at the sun! ... wait, why is it so dark?

The gang is hitting the streets, trying to find out what's going on with their friends, and get some answers of their own. The crew decide to hit up some old haunts and scrounge up some answers. Is Rickas palling around with someone special? What's going on with the food? This episode won't be forgettable!

This week, the team gather back together as a whole. Some questions are answered, and some are opened even further. The gang's all hear, and it's a wild ride!

With the first wave of battles over, it's time for our intrepid heroes to take a much-deserved break! There are a lot of loose ends to tie up, questions to answer, and... breakfast pastries? Will Zee and Katrijn ever make it out of their office? What will El make next? Will Jec ever get that drink? And who is Kevin, and what does he have to do with all this? Find out this week on Exploding Dice!

We get to the exciting conclusion of our sewer adventure and deal with the consequences on this episode of Exploding Dice.

Once again, the dance of life and death begins. The group, stronger and fuller than ever, faces a threat that could be the end of everything. Old friends show new faces, and new friends show they are not to be trifled with. Not everyone with a happy ending, though… More questions than answers this week!

Who would have thought that sewers were miserable places? Who would have thought mad science was evil? Who would have thought that a Chaos Mage was a bad tour guide? This week the whole force of the Gatewatch faces their biggest enemies: walls.

Family issues are the pits…. After cleaning up the beef, they then get introduced to a new, fascinating, interesting, exciting person from El’s past. The team gets bigger, and a major job for the Gatewatch shows itself.

Man, stairs are so much fun, right? We are changing the name of this podcast to the Staircast soon, just stay tuned! *cough* Anyway, the players realize they are a little short on people who can make fun of Rickas, so they suddenly remember they have two other team members to check in on! How are Team Nature doing? Witch one is going to lose it? This week on Exploding Dice: Stair into the abyss and it will stair back.

Let me Telle you a tale, shall I? The team, battered, bruised, and nearly defeated, have discovered something nefarious. Hunted, scared, they are required to accept help from a darker source.

It’s time for a Nightscape Knockdown! Life and death dance among the flames, who will come out on top? Who will be on the bottom?

At the door to the Nightscape, the gang are immediately presented with a very large problem. To which, there is a simple solution. They are surrounded by enemies and lawlessness, will the crew find the information they require? Or will this turn into a different kind of party?

The Gatewatch begins their first investigation, but first, lunch! Let’s paint a picture on a wall, a group of reluctant friends trying to find their way to a place where none of them know, how will they get there? What forms will they have to jump through? First, they must face their first real opponent: PUBLIC TRANSIT! Turn green with envy, we’re going places, people.
