Tavern Talk Thursday: Kickstarters To Keep an Eye on in June
Welcome to Tavern Talk Thursday! We are expanding! What started as a column dedicated to chatting with members of the TTRPG community is growing to talk about all things TTRPG. We aim to continue sharing all the things we love about the community and all the content within. So, consider this a little peek into our favorite worlds and creators as we explore everything we love.
As we head into warmer months, we can't forget all the tabletop games waiting for us to fall in love with them. And while our picks on Kickstarter might not be availble for a few months, we think it's crucial to get invested early. Whether you are looking for a fun board game to pass the time or a dark adventure in a new TTRPG, we have a few picks we know you will love. The only question is – where will your adventure begin? City of the Black Rose
Kicking off our list of Kickstarters to keep an eye on in June, we have Roll & Play Press' City of the Black Rose . This is a campaign setting filled with gothic horror, dark comedy and tons of drama. The team is marketing it toward fans of The Great Gatsby , Sin City , Arcane or Nosferatu. While those four don't usually get rolled together, we can't help but be excited about the potential story hooks, world and chaos this setting will unfold. It is designed to work within the confines of Dungeons & Dragons 5e , as well as Daggerheart and other TTRPG games.

Next, our second pick is Key Enigma's Sleddy's Lost Tapes . This is a co-op, creepypasta-themed escape game that combines puzzles, narrative, and technology to create a challenging experience. If you have ever played Hunt a Killer or similar games, this one will be right up your alley. Players will work together to sift through evidence-filled envelopes to uncover the truth before it's too late. The gameplay is the perfect blend of tabletop elements and current technology. This makes the game accessible to players of all skill levels.

Top Frog
Our final pick for Kickstarters to keep an eye on is YadCo Games' Top Frog . This is a fun card game that will have players hopping around the swamp to try and stack up fashionable frogs for points. It's a quick-paced game where all players' moves occur simultaneously, keeping everyone on their toes. We love it when games built to create chaos are wrapped up in adorable artwork. We can't wait to see who is able to build the tallest stack of frogs wearing the best hats at a future game night. It's a great game to challenge long-time gamers, but perfect for those new to the table.
