Awesome Finds: A Mendelian Genetics Game on Kickstarter
They’ve already reached their funding goal many times over, but fans of genetics might want to check out Genotype: A Mendelian Genetics Game currently funding on Kickstarter to get a copy of it! It’s a board game for 1-5 players involving dice drafting and worker placement in order to conduct experiments on pea genetics, much like Gregor Mendel did. It looks like a cool way for folks 14 and up to learn about genetics through a game!

Awesome Finds: Community of Magic Pens
Our friends at Atthis Arts (which includes MSJ alum E.D.E. Bell) have another Kickstarter running, for an anthology of stories about magic pens!
They’re looking for funding for the anthology now, with plans to open for submissions in December if they’re successful.
Atthis Arts puts together great anthologies, so we’re looking forward to this one as well. Their Kickstarter runs through November 30th!

Awesome Finds: Power & Magic
Last year, we found Heartwood on Kickstarter and loved it. This year, the same creators are back with Power & Magic volume 2, a comics anthology of young adult queer witches of color!
The Kickstarter creator and the artists and authors involved with this project are described as “26 creators of color, all women or woman-aligned and all extraordinary”! And from the teaser photos in the Kickstarter, it looks like this will be another wonderful anthology of comics!
Check out their Kickstarter before it ends on November 9.

Help Support Other Spec Fic Magazines!
While our publication is winding down, there are plenty of other great speculative fiction publications that are still going strong. One of those, Uncanny Magazine, is currently crowdfunding their sixth year of publication, including raising their rates to pay authors more for their short fiction. Uncanny Magazine is dedicated to publishing fiction from diverse authors, and has also published Disabled People Destroy Science Fiction, with Disabled People Destroy Fantasy coming soon!
Another magazine, Strange Horizons is also crowdfunding their next year of publication, which will be their twentieth year in business! In addition to their primary magazine, Strange Horizons also publishes Samovar, which publishes English-language translations of stories that were originally published in other languages (along with the original stories). This is another magazine focused on diverse authors and new voices in the genre, also definitely worthy of your support!
A number of our MSJ alums and friends of the magazine have been published in the pages of Uncanny Magazine and/or Strange Horizons, or are otherwise involved with their publication. We’re glad to see both of these magazines flourishing, and we hope you’ll help out with their Kickstarters to ensure many more years of awesomeness from them!

Awesome Finds: Verse Book 1
If you’re looking for a cool fantasy graphic novel, check out the Kickstarter for Verse, which is funding through March 1st. With themes of facing your fears and finding a sense of belonging in a dangerous world, this graphic novel, which stems from a webcomic of the same name, looks fantastic!
They’ve already surpassed their funding goal, but if this graphic novel looks like your sort of thing, you can still back their Kickstarter and get what looks to be a gorgeous and thoughtful story!
