RPG Kickstarter in which you can play a Helper Kitty
I back a lot of RPG Kickstarters, and a keep a list of the highest-funded and most-backed RPG Kickstarters on my RPG Kickstarter Tips page.
You may or may not be interested in these, but what sort of world-brain neuron would I be if I didn't bring them to your attention? My mentioning them is not a solictation or endorsement, although I quite adore Golden Sky Stories.
Golden Sky Stories continues to do well, with its gentle themes of magical creatures helping people in nonviolent ways: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/nekoewen/golden-sky-stories-heartwarming-role-playing . GSS should be out by October and I definitely plan on running it at Big Bad Con where I'm running five games (not all GSS). I will resist the urge to mix it with Transhuman to tell the heartwarming tale of future Japan in which a decomissioned wardroid and an abandoned spooky house are helped by raccoon dog tricksters.
Eclipse Phase (available free via Creative Commons) is doing a kickstarter for Transhuman, their player guide, at http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/507486226/transhuman-the-eclipse-phase-players-guide/ .
"Eclipse Phase characters in detail: AGIs, asyncs, infomorphs, uplifts, infugees, and indentures. .... insanity, death and memory loss, psychosurgery, nanofabrication, and reputation are explored. ... rules for creating your own morphs ... section on exotic and specialized morphs, such as flexbots, swarmanoids, aquatic morphs, and using bots, vehicles, habitats, and other non-traditional constructs as morphs."
Habitat PCs! Which reminds me, have you read Susan Palwick's novel Shelter? It has an AI House, and memory loss, and sadness.
OVA: The Anime Role-Playing Game doubled its goal on day one, and has a bonus if you back both it and Golden Sky Stories at $10. http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1655572033/ova-the-anime-role-playing-game
And just in the interest of completeness I mention Torchbearer, which is Mouse Guard adapted to do old-school dungeon crawls (by humans, dwarves, elves, and bait), in which the presence or absence of a 10 foot pole can spell life or death. I'm not that fond of the Burning Wheel system that underlies it, but it appears many people are: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/burningwheel/torchbearer
And there's Exalted 3rd edition, which at least seems to be avoiding gratuitous crotch shots this time.
