So, I spend what is objectively too much time on Kickstarter. Every couple of days, I buzz the site, primarily looking for my next fix of bestiaries for my Pathfinder 2e table (I don't know what it is about physically bound monster stat blocks on glossy paper, but I apparently need that shit hooked directly up to my veins).
This January's been a bit of a lull period for that, though. It has seen a bit of a resurgence on the D&D 5e front, though, with a bunch of interesting projects having released recently. I thought I'd pass some of them along (as well as everything else I've seen in the last couple of weeks).
