Let's take a look at those you might have missed this week
There's so much to get through this week! There's a bit of a common theme of games being a bit lighter this week - there's not been a series of big box games to look out for - which our round up reflects, and some add a really interesting flavour to the mix.
As always, let us know if you love any of these projects, or if you backed them over on Twitter. But without further ado, let's take a look at what this week has to offer us!
Defection
Defection sees you refuse to participate in yet another war for your planet, and instead you chose to defect from the army and transport civilians to safety instead. However, conflict and competition will always follow, and you'll need to play their game to save those lives! It's a competitive pick up and deliver game for between 2-4 players, but you'll be finding ship customisations along the way, plus dice combat, all while exploring the galaxy. As a bonus, this is from Thunder Vaults Ltd, who are based in Bristol, meaning a lesser shipping cost than we often see...
Is it funded? No
What’s the pledge to get a copy? £50, though there's notably also a pledge level named "Shippy McShipface" which allows you to name a ship in the game.
When does it end? September 24th, 2020

Fate challenges you, and you must try to outplay her - she's not going to make it easy though!

The Deck of Rumours
The Deck of Rumours are sign postings to build an RPG setting. In essence, they're noticeboard postings that you can use to springboard into your next adventure. The examples given are that, for example, one may be from a local farmer, asking if anyone has seen their lost cow Betsy; another might be a bounty for the local warlord causing chaos in the countryside. The prompts are wide-ranging and themed too, so you can play these in line with wherever you are in the campaign.
