We talked to Stephen and Loz, the team behind Character Cards: a deck of NPCs that can be shuffled into your tabletop game. We discuss how Character Cards make GMing faster and easier, the possibility of a tarot deck expansion (or a modern deck), and what kinds of hijinks ensue when your character tries to use an astral diamond to buy a cake.

Charlie Brumfield runs Artisan Dice, a company that started after what he thought was an improbable Kickstarter project last year. He is back again with polyhedral dice and metal dice. He was nice enough to sit down with DM Fiat to answer some questions with a week left in his latest Kickstarter.
Perseus and Ophelia interviewed Ryan Dancey of Goblinworks to discuss the upcoming Pathfinder Online MMO.

Last week, we talked to Joanna and Rob from Standard Action, a comedy web series about a hapless party of adventurers and their various hijinks. They’re running a Kickstarter to fund season 3 and when we spoke with them, their kickstarter was just a hair shy of funding. It has since funded (but they haven’t hit the musical episode stretch goal yet!).
We talk about puppets, taxidermied squirrels, Joanna’s sandwich-making skills and the challenges of shooting outdoors in the rainforest.
Interview With Standard Action
We chatted with Scott Pfeiffer of the Funding the Dream-Team, which helps people with Kickstarters manage, structure and promote their projects. We discuss their current Kickstarter, Sails of Glory by Ares Games, upcoming Kickstarter, Grant Rising, and strategies for promoting their games.
