Kickstarter: Age Past

It seems more and more small-press publishers are jumping on the Kickstarter bandwagon. Jeff Mechlinski is a game designer from Batltimore, who is currently raising funds for his game “Age Past” on Kickstarter. In honor of free RPG day he also released a late beta PDF for free, so that you can have a first look at what the final Age Past book will look like. And even though Jeff is still raising money to pay for more art, Age Past already looks gorgeous.

The rules seem to be a bit too crunchy for my tastes, but that shouldn’t keep you from checking out this game. Currently 9 people have backed the project and there are still 41 days to raise the $3,200 Jeff has set as goal. If you’re into fantasy RPGs, you might want to have a look!
