At 10:30 central time on Sept 10, the latest Kickstarter for Gaming Ballistic launched: Nordlond Sagas for the Dungeon Fantasy RPG.

It hopes to fund three products, all set in the Norðlond setting and supporting the Dungeon Fantasy RPG with more full-color, 8x10 books.

The Dragons of Rosgarth
48 or 64 pages
This setting expansion and adventure scenario details the towns of Midgard and Jarngarðr, and provides a looming threat worthy of a party of seasoned delvers. Targeted at four to six delvers of 300 points or more. Written by Kyle Norton (Dungeons on Automatic).
[ATTACH=CONFIG]3821[/ATTACH]

Forest's End
64 or 80 pages
The King proclaimed that lands and titles were newly available for those bold enough to hold them. One thegn, more than bold enough to take up the King's challenge, built a fortified settlement near where the forest meets the sea: Skógarenda . . . Forest's End. The thegn is ready to claim his rightful status as lord and jarl. A great feast is planned. What could go wrong?

Forest's End features several threats and three actual dungeons to delve for the Dungeon Fantasy RPG! Written by Merlin Avery.

Norðlondr Fólk
16 pages
Sixteen playable racial templates to supplement those from Dungeon Fantasy Adventurers, including Norðlond-specific versions of elves and dwarves. Also dragon-blooded, children of humans and demons, and other hybrids, such as raven-folk and those who are brothers and sisters to bear and boar. Written by Kevin Smyth.

As with all small-publisher efforts, the best thing you can do to help is (a) first back the campaign, and then (b) talk about it somewhere else. Share the link, say why you're excited to be a part of the campaign, a comment on facebook, anything. It's amazing how that sort of network effect can drive a campaign.

Let's see if we can break the old DFRPG record for Gaming Ballistic of 600 backers, and the all-time record for me of 610 from The Fantasy Trip.

I'm in on this, came to see if it had been mentioned here.

There are 24 hours left in the Bones Kickstarter.  

One thing that's kinda cool about this is that if you see something you like but you're cash shy at the moment, is you can pledge a smaller amount (it was $1, now I think the minimum is $40) and you can add anything that was offered in the Kickstarter at the Kickstarter cost.  

So if you want a $22 add-on, you can pay for it anytime in the next 12 months or so.

Deadlands: Lost Colony

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/545820095/deadlands-lost-colony

In the old Deadlands, that was always the least developed part. It, ironically, never felt like it went anywhere. If they add a lot of material, it might be worthwhile. If they just "Savage" what came before, I'm way less interested.

Legendary horror writer Ramsey Campbell, who is contributing the foreword to Casting the Runes, has this to say about the game:

"Paul St John Mackintosh has developed this witty and erudite game whose dark playfulness is itself reminiscent of James. May it evoke nothing but pleasure!"

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/gallantknightgames/the-heros-journey-2e

The Hero's Journey 1st edition was a nice little S&W-based OSR game with some neat ideas. The 2nd edition is supposed to expand it and deviate from S&W whenever necessary. I'm in for $65, pretty close to $20k which means a PDF version of the extended rules companion.
It takes considerable knowledge just to realize the extent of your own ignorance.
