Scant weeks ago, Magpie Games lost its title as the RPG publisher with the most funded Kickstarter, and Avatar surrendered its crown to Cosmere. Today, Magpie is back on the crowdfunding platform, not with a ‘revenge’ campaign but with an expansion for a title they’re already looking after, which is good!
The Kickstarter in question is Root: The Roleplaying Game—Ruins and Rolls.
If you’re curious, then the Bundle of Holding offers a clever way in. It’s a chance to get the core rules and supplements with a discount.
Root Collection – $14.95
The retail value of these Root downloads tallies up to $55.
- Root: The Roleplaying Game
- Travelers & Outsiders
- Root Clearing Booklet
- 4 Root quickstart sets
It’s a shortish offer that expires on Wednesday, the 25th of September.
Inspired by the award-winning Root board game from Leder Games, Root: The Roleplaying Game allows you to create tales of woodland heroism. This game uses the Apocalypse Engine, the same system that powers games like Dungeon World, to craft epic stories reminiscent of Redwall, Watership Down, and Mouse Guard.
Root RPG: Ruins and Expeditions
The Kickstarter comes complete with faction dice from Fanroll.
Ruins & Expeditions, the latest supplement for Root: The Roleplaying Game, introduces new mechanics for exploring ruins, two new factions, four new playbooks, and a variety of new Natures, Drives, species moves, and clearings.
Ruins & Expeditions is a 160+ page, hardcover 6”x9” book that explores the dangerous forests and mysterious ruins of the Woodland, offering players and and GMs new tools to expand their games of Root: The Roleplaying Game. Have you always wanted your vagabonds to seek out new ruins off the beaten path, protect denizens from monstrous insects and arachnids, or dive deep into the ruins themselves? If so, this is the book for you!
The first reward tier for Ruins & Expeditions includes stretch goals PDFs and also unlocks at $15.
If you want hardcovers of everything the Root RPG has produced, including this new Kickstarter, then step up to $99.
Magpie closes the Kickstarter on October 4th.
