Featured crowdfunding campaign
Critical Core
Roleplay is for everyone, but not every roleplay system can accommodate all people. Critical Core hopes to help in that regard by providing a tabletop game experience designed for kids on the autism spectrum. It helps players build social skill and confidence while diving into fantasy worlds.
Critical Core is being run by Game to Grow, and is for 2-4 players. It has a goal of AUD$67,561 and has so far raised over AUD$133,700 from 1,169 backers with 33 days to go.
