There’s many interesting items to be found on Kickstarter, but these are the coolest ones this week.

Salt in Wounds
Salt in Wounds is a town built around the regenerating body of a Tarrasque, reminding me a bit of that episode of Doctor Who with the whale in space. I’m excited to read more about the setting, and I hope it continues to get even darker then keeping a living thing imprisoned and cut into to feed the population. If you want to add a new setting to your 5e game, Salt in Wounds would be an amazing place to explore.

“Salt in Wounds is a fictional city; a detail-rich dark fantasy setting designed specifically for tabletop roleplaying games (although it can be enjoyed by anyone who appreciates intricate works of imagination). More specifically, Salt in Wounds is a city whose culture, economy, and existence is beholden to the reality of the giant, regenerating kaiju called the ‘Tarrasque’ which is imprisoned within the city center so it can be butchered over and over again.”

Scroll and Codex Dice Tower and Rolling Tray
I got a beautiful hex chest from Elder Wood in their last kickstarter, and they’ve out done themselves with this one. You can get a couple of things from this. You can just get the Scroll, which is a beautiful collapsible dice tray that can roll up. There’s also the Codex, an amazing portable dice tower. If you get both, the Scroll fits inside the Codex when collapsed. Seriously, these are so beautiful together.

“Hello, we’re Quentin and Dan (the androids from the video). Today, we’d like to share Scroll & Codex, an ancient, leather-bound scroll and scroll case that brings elegance and a touch of the fantastic to your games. Codex transforms into a dice tower with a twist of its base, and Scroll unfurls into a personal rolling tray in moments. With a host of customizable wood, leather, and art options, each Scroll & Codex is crafted to be a unique, timeless relic transported straight out of your game and onto your tabletop.

Help us bring Scroll & Codex into the world, and together we’ll change dicetiny. We know some of you are thinking about the Holiday season, so scroll down to learn about our Holiday Gift Package. As always, if you have any questions, we are at your disposal.”

Filigree in Shadow
I wish I had a ton of money to sink into the Mysterious Package Company, because everything they release looks intriguing, high quality, and really, really cool. Filigree in Shadow is their latest package that they’re sending out, which is a Victorian thriller. I think there’s plenty of inspiration for a game in the mysteries surrounding their boxes, and the props seem incredibly detailed and cool. (And if someone wants to send me the King in Yellow package, I won’t say no)

“For several years, The Mysterious Package Company has turned the daily trip to the mailbox into an adventure by providing unique stories you can touch. These packages tell amazing tales in multiple chapters, each arriving weeks apart. Chapters are comprised of customized newspaper articles, diary pages, lab notes, photographs, objets d’art, and so forth. Together they place the recipient at the centre of the narrative, often even referring to long-lost (or non-existent) relatives.

These adventures culminate in a handmade wooden crate that has been nailed shut. Within, a custom-crafted artifact acts as the touchstone for the experience; a centerpiece that will spark the telling and retelling of the unexpected sequence of events that began with an unassuming envelope found in one’s mailbox.

We pay extraordinary attention to the details of each experience, right down to the accurately recreated postmark on each letter and how the paper is aged. We include real history in every story, which lends authenticity to the experience and disguises the point at which reality ends and fiction begins.”
