Thundercats TTRPG Kickstarter turns the ’80s cartoon into a full D&D world

That urge to take advantage of ThunderCats’ potential — its decaying civilizations’ implied millennia of history, its clash between science and the supernatural, its badass cat-people warriors, and so much more — explains a lot about the ways creators built out the setting in later spin-offs, from the 2011 animated ThunderCats reboot to Dynamite’s ongoing current comics series. It also explains the immediate enthusiastic response to Lynnvander Studios’ Kickstarter for a ThunderCats tabletop roleplaying game, which was fully funded within one minute of release. The fundraiser is now in its final days and scheduled to end on Jan. 16.
