Mad Lizard Games are preparing to launch the Kickstarter campaign for their latest game, Shards of Gods.

Set in the world of Elun, Shards of Gods is a new fantasy tabletop game built around what Mad Lizard Games describe as ‘an unprecedented modular rule system.’ It promises to combine ‘modern art’ and ‘intuitive gameplay’ to deliver ‘epic adventures [in] a world of immersive storytelling’. The game is also said to be ‘Perfect for both newcomers and seasoned TTRPG enthusiasts’.

The aforementioned modular rules system promises ‘ultimate flexibility’ which will allow players to adapt Shards of Gods’ gameplay to their liking, thus enabling ‘crunchy rules or free flowing roleplay based on your group’s taste and TTRPG expertise’. Players can also create their own characters or use a selection of pre-generated protagonists.

The core Shards of Gods game will feature everything required to play, including:

A rule book

An adventure book

Pre-generated player characters

Custom character sheets

Battle maps

All the tokens, standees, and cards required to play

Dice

A boxed set titled

These are the core components, and, as one would expect of a crowdfunded project, more goodies will be revealed and unlocked during the campaign proper.

The Shards of Gods Kickstarter will launch soon. In the interim, Mad Lizard Games are offering the chance to bag an exclusive bonus character and a unique D20 by visiting their website and joining the Shards of Gods mailing list. This offer is only available before the launch of Kickstarter proper.

See the Mad Lizard Games website for more details. You can also visit the pre-launch page on Kickstarter and hit ‘Notify Me on Launch’ to be amongst the first to back this new project.

A striking fantasy illustration features a character with long, silver hair and piercing eyes, dressed in ornate armor, set against a vibrant, abstract background of purples and blues. The character is framed by a shattered glass effect, which adds a dynamic element to the composition. Surrounding this central figure are hints of other fantastical characters and elements, enhancing the immersive feel of the artwork.
