Calamityware Dinner Plate 5
I have seen the previous four sets and if I had more money my entire dinnerware set would be from this series. I love the juxtaposition of the art style and the silly scenarios occurring on the plates.
“I like drawings that make me laugh. When I inherited a traditional Willow-pattern plate, I just had to redraw it and add a pterodactyl. As I drew more plates and added more calamities—UFOs, Sasquatch, and volcanoes—folks urged me to produce real dinner plates. A Kickstarter project was born.
My first four Calamityware Kickstarter projects (flying monkey, giant robot, voracious sea monster, and UFO invasion) found sponsors, so here is the fifth project in what might turn out to be a long series. ”
Best Birthday Prank Card Ever
This is so funny. I want a million of them to give out to everyone for every occasion.
“Your card is delivered to you in a “Safe mode”. Here you can start and stop the song as much as you want. After you sign the card with a lovely message, pull the activation tab inside the card which will activate the card. Then slide it into an envelope and deliver!”
Ion: A Compound Building Game
I backed the previous game by this creator – A peptide building game. As a biochemist, I couldn’t resist it. This game is in the same vein, except now you get to build molecules. If you love science and games you should check it out!
“Ion is a quick but explosively fun card game themed accurately around a few fundamental chemistry concepts. More specifically, how ions form some of the most basic compounds we use everyday. But don’t worry, we didn’t leave out the noble gases!”
Phoenix: Dawn Command
This a card game with a lot of RPG drivers behind it. The tagline “A game were death not only makes you stronger, but defines who you are” was what caught my attention as I was browsing. Also, it’s from the people who made Gloom, so it’s probably pretty amazing!
“Phoenix is a story-driven roleplaying game that uses cards to resolve actions. Every player has a deck of cards that represent a character’s abilities. To accomplish an action, a player needs to lay down a set of cards with a total value that equals or exceeds the difficulty of the task. A player can get an extra push by using a trait – a card that describes a unique aspect of a character. If the player can explain how that trait applies to the current challenge, the value of the card is increased. This encourages cinematic storytelling, driving players to describe an action beyond the simple numbers. In addition, each player has Sparks – a pool of mystical energy that can be used to boost the value of an action. This allows a character to succeed at a normally impossible task… but when that pool of energy is exhausted, the character dies.
While Phoenix has a gamemaster who drives the story and controls the challenges the characters face, the card-based system places a significant amount of narrative control in the hands of the players. Success isn’t based on the roll of a die; it’s a question of what a player is willing to sacrifice to make an action succeed. Because death isn’t the end of the story, character survival isn’t the most important part of a mission. Instead, the challenge is to make each death meaningful, and to achieve the objectives the Phoenixes are willing to lay down their lives for.”
