It's time for the weekly update of Kickstarter gaming campaigns!
A brief update on previously covered campaigns to start - many of last week's campaigns are at the 20 day mark, with none having made any extraordinary progress although most are progressing nicely. GAME OVER however has finished and fell way short of its $1,145 target. There haven't been any updates to the campaign since the beginning of March though, so communication and a lack of it might have not helped its chances.

Ghost Theory
Hey look, our first repeat entry!
I've previously covered Ghost Theory when the studio ran their first Kickstarter campaign a little while ago. We were informed that they were about to try again, and so they have. The campaign's already off to a great start and the idea of exploring a haunted location to discover the story behind it before the ghostly residents scare you to death is still a good one.
Ghost Theory has a goal of £50,000 and it has made £15,157 so far with 25 days to go.

Mythos
Next up we have a tabletop game set in the 1920s and taking many cues from Lovecraftian lore.
In an alternate reality where a lot of humanity have turned to insane cults and are waging war, you play as either someone on the side of humanity or as part of one of the cult factions fighting for supremacy while attempting to keep your sanity enough to control your actions. There are also a few different methods of play, including role play sessions.
Mythos has 27 days to go and has made £6,507 of its £10,000 goal.

Vulnerability is Sexy
Next up is a card game about getting to know each other.
Vulnerability is a card game which challenges you to answer questions drawn from one of three comfort level decks, either using a Free Pass card to avoid answering a question or giving your answer. The action card deck then determines whose turn it is next, and other players can use core value cards to reward answers from you or any other player. This is basically a game about telling stories and building connections. Lovely.
Vulnerability is Sexy has a target of $20,000 and 57 days to go. It has made $2,140 so far.

Rock God Tycoon
Finally we have a tycoon game, and I'm including this because I like tycoon games. Hey, it's my article.
Rock God Tycoon starts you off as an aspiring rock star fresh out of school. You need to record songs, customise a character, book gigs and build your way up to fame and fortune. As you go along you can spend money on new instruments and accessories to help your image, and there's even rhythm-based game sections ala Guitar Hero to affect how well you play a show.
Rock God Tycoon has 27 days to go to make an $8,000 target, of which it has made $525 so far.
