By Nathan Young on June 3, 2026

Welcome to the Crowdsourcing Mornings segment! Every weekday morning, Geek Alabama talks about and features one crowdsourcing project from crowdsourcing sites such as, Indiegogo, and others. The hope with Crowdsourcing Mornings is to feature and help a project be successful and reach its fundraising goal. Please enjoy today’s featured project!

Earthborne Trailblazer is an open-world, cooperative adventure board game set in the wilderness of the far future. You and up to four friends take on the role of Rangers, the sworn protectors of a small mountain valley nestled high in the Rocky Mountains, now yearning to blaze new trails and explore the untrodden lands beyond the Valley’s borders. It is designed to be played in a single session, not as an ongoing campaign. In the game you will…

Explore a beautifully illustrated world and uncover its secrets by becoming familiar with the board’s meticulously crafted and delightful details.
Navigate an entertaining ecology of predators, flora, and prey as the world comes to life around you and nature takes its course.
Experience an organically branching narrative as you undertake endeavors, avert crises, and explore the wilderness without depleting the reserves of Lone Tree Station.

At the start of each round, you will draw an event card. These cards can represent the weather, progress the narrative, cause the ecology to come to life, and/or spawn crises onto the board. Then, in any order, each player takes a turn. On your turn, you’ll follow these steps: 1) Prepare, 2) Explore, and 3) Travel.

As of June 3rd, this project has raised $380,000 of their $150,000 goal. This project has 13 days left to raise as much as it can. For a pledge of $80, you will get one game. For a pledge of $150, you will get one deluxe edition. To learn more and to pledge money, go to: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/earthbornegames/earthborne-trailblazer?
