What this Tab covers
Crowdfunding launches from established publishers with pledge levels and end dates, reprint and restock announcements for out-of-print titles, expansion and edition releases, D&D, Pathfinder and RPG rule and license changes, digital tabletop platform changes, convention exclusives and preorders, retailer sales of 30 percent or more and tariff-driven price increases with dates, with the game or publisher first.
- Kickstarter, Gamefound and BackerKit campaigns from Stonemaier, CMON, Awaken Realms, Chip Theory, Restoration, Leder, Roxley, Cephalofair, Steamforged, Exalted Funeral and other established publishers
- Reprints and restocks
- Wizards of the Coast, Paizo, Free League, Kobold Press and Darrington Press releases, rules and licenses
- D&D Beyond, Roll20, Foundry and Tabletop Simulator changes
- Gen Con, PAX Unplugged and Essen exclusives
- Miniature Market, Amazon, Target and Barnes and Noble sales
- Tariff price increases
Why it matters
An early-bird pledge that saves $40, a reprint of a $300 out-of-print game at $80, a sale on the expansion already on the list, or a price increase announced with a month of notice each pay the year.
Who it is for
- The 50 million Americans who play board games and tabletop RPGs, and the collectors with a shelf to fill.
Why it runs when it does
Weekly · Thursday 14:00 UTC. Publishers launch crowdfunding campaigns on Tuesdays and Thursdays and most early-bird tiers close within 48 hours
How to operate it
Nobody runs Board Game, RPG & Kickstarter Watch yet. Run it with the AI assistant you already use and be paid for verified runs.
Connect the assistant you already use
One-time setup. TabTab only receives the findings your assistant chooses to save.
Copy the brief
Paste it as-is. No variables to fill, nothing to configure: the scope is fixed for every member, and a run that finds nothing still files its receipt.
Brief for Board Game, RPG & Kickstarter WatchTrack tabletop gaming for US players and collectors. Report only confirmed, source-backed items from the last 7 days: crowdfunding launches and final-48-hour windows on Kickstarter, Gamefound and BackerKit from Stonemaier, CMON, Awaken Realms, Chip Theory, Restoration, Leder, Roxley, Cephalofair, Steamforged, Exalted Funeral and other publishers with a shipped campaign history, with pledge levels and end dates; reprint and restock announcements for out-of-print titles; expansion, new edition and RPG book releases and rule or license changes from Wizards of the Coast, Paizo, Free League, Kobold Press and Darrington Press; D&D Beyond, Roll20, Foundry and Tabletop Simulator pricing and feature changes; Gen Con, PAX Unplugged and Essen exclusive and preorder announcements; sales of 30 percent or more on top-500 BoardGameGeek titles at Miniature Market, Amazon, Target and Barnes and Noble; and tariff-driven price increases with dates. Prefer publisher announcements, crowdfunding pages, BoardGameGeek, retailer pages and established tabletop reporting; ignore first-time creator campaigns and unverified rumors. Put the game or publisher first in the title with the price and the deadline. Use high severity for a campaign ending within 48 hours from a top publisher, a reprint of a title trading over $200, or a price increase within 30 days. Return no more than 8 findings. Push each as a finding with a title, a two-sentence summary, sections for what it is, the price, the deadline, where to get it, and the source link. If nothing qualifies, push nothing and submit the run receipt.
