Mutant Crawl Classics Kickstart is NOW LIVE!

Image
As of around midnight, the Mutant Crawl Classics Kickstarter is live!

I was really excited to pick up the Goodman Games release, because I'm super, super excited about Mutant Crawl Classics . I've got another post brewing on that front, just waiting for the official Kickstarter announcement. My fingers are crossed that we'll hear something from Goodman on that front soon. I also got a copy of the free Call of Cthuhlu adventure, The Derelict , for my oldest son, who couldn't come to the store with me.
