My first five RPGs played: B/X D&D (Moldvay, Cook, Marsh) AD&D Star Frontiers (1e) Gamma World (2e) Marvel Superheroes (1984) Read Traveller pre-1984 but never played. By 1983, around BADD, my religious parents went Satanic Panic and pitched my D&D. I moved on to non-D&D TSR and Palladium games.

The Haven's Heir series of adventures for The Hidden Isle tarot-based RPG is going strong on Backerkit. Just over two weeks are left in the campaign, which also includes new rules for The Hidden Isle. (I'm a writer on the project.)

Crows sounds cool. It's worth a look. The campaign video about Crows is neither of those. It spends too long denigrating D&D and talking about other games before getting to a point (not the point) about Crows. That video made me less enthusiastic about funding the game.
