ThunderCats Are On The Move: The RPG Roars Onto Kickstarter

For fans of 80s nostalgia and high-stakes tabletop adventures, the wait is finally over. ThunderCats: The Roleplaying Game has officially launched on Kickstarter, and it’s already making waves across Third Earth.

Developed by Lynnvander Studios and published by Dynamite Entertainment, this 240+ page hardcover book is more than just a trip down memory lane—it’s a fully realized toolkit for bringing the battle between the ThunderCats and Mumm-Ra to your gaming table.

What’s Under the Hood?

The game is built using the D&D 5E (2024) ruleset, making it incredibly accessible for the millions of players already familiar with the world’s most popular roleplaying system. Whether you want to play as a noble Thunderian or a scrappy Snarf, the mechanics are designed to feel authentic to the source material.

Key features include:

• New Species & Classes: Play as Thunderians, Silky-smooth Berbils, hardy Tuskas, or even the villainous Mu’tants.

• Iconic Gear: Rules for wielding the Sword of Omens and the Claw Shield, plus stats for the ThunderTank and other classic vehicles.

• Deep Lore: The book blends history from the original 1985 series, the 2011 reboot, and the current Dynamite comic books into one cohesive timeline.

• The World of Third Earth: Detailed guides to locations like the Cats’ Lair, Castle Plun-Darr, and the Black Pyramid.

Tiers and Exclusives

Dynamite has pulled out all the stops for the Kickstarter campaign, offering several editions to suit both casual players and hardcore collectors:

Why Back Now

Unlike many crowdfunding projects that are still in the “idea” phase, Lynnvander Studios has confirmed that the book is already complete. The Kickstarter is primarily to fund the initial print run and exclusive editions. This means a much faster turnaround time for backers, with shipping projected to begin as early as February 2026.

The campaign funded in just one minute, and stretch goals are currently being smashed, adding even more content to the final product.
