New for July!
Starscape
[https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/goldenlassogames/starscape]
Launched July 9th
Starscape is the found-family story of a crew traveling through space. It focuses on a group of core personalities and how their trust in one another changes over the course of their adventures. You create your crew, a ship, a bit of shared history, and then play to find out if you come together when it matters most, or fracture when faced with the challenges of an unpredictable universe. Starscape is built on a Powered by the Apocalypse foundation, but with many enhancements that tailor it to found-family space stories. Ten different playbooks, based on familiar archetypes, are used to create characters that are made unique by customized Backgrounds and Specialties.

Jiangshi: Blood in the Banquet Hall 2nd Printing
[https://www.backerkit.com/call_to_action/181ade93-70ae-4c1f-b072-90613b40037a/landing]
Launching July 23rd
This collaborative tabletop roleplaying game is about a Chinese immigrant family running a restaurant in the 1920s in a Canadian or American Chinatown. Despite societal backlash and anti-Chinese laws of the time, the family persists. Unfortunately, night is when the Jiangshi (hopping vampires) create even more chaos. The ENNIE Award-winning game is getting a second printing with the same lush production plus an all-new scenario book is in the works.

69
[https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/signal-interruption/69-a-nice-card-game-about-numbers]
(Sorry this posting time missed this one!)
69 is a fast-paced card-matching game for two to six players. The rules are simple enough for any age, but for some reason, players below a certain age wouldn't stop giggling when we demoed it, so we recommend playing only with serious, mature adults.
