For board games, Kickstarter has been a boon, bringing all sorts of new concepts to the fore. Often, those are complete, self-contained releases, entities unto themselves. With the one from Little Plastic Train Co, we’ve actually got a focus on upgrading your existing board games.

Now funding: Coral UV 2
If there’s one thing that’s come out of this year-long worldwide pandemic (aside from everyone learning how to properly wash their hands), I’d say it’s an awareness of bacteria and germs in our environments, and how we should be doing our best to limit exposure. Fold in that our phones are usually much dirtier than a toilet seat, being able to sanitize them (and other things) makes a lot of sense. That’s where the Coral UV Studio comes in.

Now Funding: A-Spadz Cavet e-bike
With electric bikes, they often look like your standard bicycle that has a small motor and power pack strapped on. Gets the job done, but perhaps not the most stylish-looking thing, right? Well, what it you took the idea of cafe racers styling, stripped out the motor, added some pedals, and kept the more robust mechanicals in the suspension and brakes? You’d have something approaching the A-Spadz Cavet.

Now Funding: Sentien Audio
As of late, my audio world has been true wireless earbuds (for when I exercise) and over-ear ANC headphones (for while I’m working). There is another category out there for headphones that I have a bit of a fascination with – bone conduction headsets. My buddy got a pair a few years ago, and I was surprised by how well they worked. Well, now we’ve got Sentien bringing another set to your cranium.

Now Funding: Rocketbook Axis
While many folks prefer to just type out their notes, I’m all about writing things down by hand (and studies back me up). It used to be in a standard notebook that I’d then snap pictures of and upload into Evernote, but now I’m all about doing it digitally first via a tablet and stylus. If you’re looking for a less investment-heavy option, but want the ease of getting your notes digitally, the just-launched Rocketbook Axis is something worth checking out.

Now Funding: A Quest A Day
Well, that’s what I’m calling it, at least. The official name is the 2022 Quest Calendar, and it’s one of the more innovative ideas I’ve seen hit in projects that are TTRPG-related or -adjacent.

Now Funding: Retio Retro Radio Speaker
While we tend to see a lot of shiny plastic bits in our electronics these days, and colorful LEDs. What if, instead, you wanted a bit of “retro modern” styling in your devices, say, in a bluetooth speaker that packs some other capabilities? That’s what the Retio radio speaker is offering.

Now Funding: Bowio Book Light
For as long as I can remember, being able to clearly read at night was always something of a challenge. Sure, you could have a lamp on, but you maybe don’t want to do that. Used to be that I’d use a headlamp (and still do, sometimes), and then went to a Nook Color, and now these days find myself reading on a Kindle Paperwhite. If you want to read good ol’ physical books, though, the Bowio looks to be an interesting option.

Now Funding: So, You’ve Been Eaten
Of the many things that have taken off with crowdfunding, I think board games is one area that has really bloomed. There have been a tremendous number of innovative and interesting games that large publishers just might not take a chance on. One of the latest to catch my eye is So, You’ve Been Eaten by LudiCreations.

Now Funding: LitiHolo 3D Hologram Printer
3D printers, that’s last year’s news, man. I mean, sure, they’re still pretty cool and folks are turning out all sorts of cool work with them, so there’s that. But what if you want a different sort of a 3D printer? That, my friend, is where the LitiHolo 3D Hologram Printer comes into play.
