April was an exciting month and we've got a lot of plans coming up. Here's a list of projects and their status: Children of FerrumSky (Broken Contract) At the end of April we shipped the first wave of Children of FerrumSky Kickstarter Rewards to our Backers. Even though we had plenty of boxes, shipping containers, stickers, labels, and thank you cards, I didn't double check the number of actual models we had on hand. I thought I ordered 60, and we only had 30. We shipped out everything we had on hand, but we still have half of our Backers waiting for their models to ship. Currently Valiant in Madison, Wisconsin are only casting pewter miniatures due to reduced staff (ie. just the two owners of the business). They are still prepping molds for resin models but resin miniature manufacture is more labor intensive and currently their production staff are observing Wisconsin's Safer at Home order. That being said, fresh molds have been ordered and as soon as they

For those who don't know, we launched our first RPG related Kickstarter in February as part of Zine Quest 2 . We launched a Kickstarter for Rabid Dogs Zine , a DCC RPG compatible zine that simultaneously presented some of my home table rules, and layered it with an homage to the punk and crossover thrash that I came up on. Here's the latest update regarding that project: "The Hungry Child" WIP art from Jamie Jordan Hello Rabid Dogs backers! Sorry it has been a month since our last update. I know some of you are probably so wrapped up in the sadness of the outside world that you haven't even thought about this little Kickstarter, and I am sure some of you are clinging to every bit of joy that comes into your view, including updates about gaming products that you are excited for. I know the little bundles of books from other indie game makers has made for bright spots in my last few weeks, so I get it. Rabid Dogs and the Last 30 Days I had been waitin

Breaker Press Games has been going full steam ahead for the last 6 months, and sadly, we haven't documented any of it here. We rented a studio space, ran three successful Kickstarters, learned how to use a laser cutter, and even recently acquired streaming gear. If I tried to pack the last year and a half since the last blog post, we'd be writing all day and you'd all tune out halfway through. Instead, we'll just hit on some of the big beats for today. New Models in the Webstore   Female Breaker Gen-mod painted by Malev Minis. Last week we went through the webstore and made sure to make some items clearly Out of Stock, and to add some of the new items we've produced. The first of the two new items added to the webstore are the Female Breaker Gen-mod , packaged in a red MDF shipping container terrain piece. Now, this model isn't that new. If you backed the Kickstarter at the end of 2018, you've had this model in your possession for 6 or more months

In less than a week we will be running our next Kickstarter. This one is to fund the manufacture and expansion of our Breaker range of miniatures. If you've been following Breaker Press for a while, you've probably seen images of some of these sculpts appear over the last year and a half (yes, the gears grind slowly at Breaker Press). It is finally time to send them to the caster, but we need your help. Female Breaker Gen-Mod. We are starting things off with the two Gen-Mods that we've been sitting on for quite some time. These will be the basis for the Kickstarter campaign. The campaign is going to start small - we just need to raise enough money to cast and ship these two models. Male Breaker Gen-Mod. If the campaign goes well, the Stretch Goals will be determined by you, the community. The first Survey went up and the first Stretch Goal will be for the female Breaker Crew Leader. Female Breaker Crew Leader. Hopefully, we can work our way through all

I have a lot of friends doing a lot of cool stuff. One of those friends has a project that is currently on Kickstarter. It is called  Ruin & Conquest  and it is a system-agnostic campaign setting for whatever fantasy RPG you love. Brinton Williams has thrown his heart and soul into this tome and has gathered a whole host of top notch analog artists to bring his vision to gritty black ink on white paper. Go over to Kickstarter and check it out . The funding push will end on Friday October 26th, so don't sleep on it. Also, it looks like his Facebook group could use a boost too, so if you're on Facebook go Like Ruin & Conquest there . I've never met Jason at Thunderchild Miniatures , but we both ran our first Kickstarters simultaneously a few years back and I have been following his work ever since. He is dedicated to his craft, that is for sure. His next Kickstarter launches this weekend, on Saturday October 20th. This time around he is releasing a miniature bo

I’m an Outsider, Outside of Everything Outlier Player Characters in DCC by Nick Baran Art by Nerdgore The concept of a Player Character with outdoor skills has firm footing in fantasy literature, but not every solitary woodsperson is a benevolent ranger. There is also the survivalist hunter, and the thieving brigand roaming the hills and forests. The Outlier emphasizes the varied motivations and skills of those that live off the land, whether they seek to protect it, or take what they need from it, outside of the governance of “civil” society. (Editor’s note: The traditional Ranger of AD&D does not fit with the “You’re no hero” philosophy espoused by DCC, but many folks love the wilderness skills associated with the class. In the 80’s, I was in love with the Bandit character class that was featured in Dragon Magazine #63 and Best of Dragon Vol. 4. It was a cool mash up of Thief and Ranger themed skills that I really connected with and had a lot of fun playing. With no offici
