The Weekly Podcast no.328 – 7th Sea 3E, Dreadball All-Stars, Warmachine FronTier and Tunnels & Trolls: A New Age

Posted on by upturnedtable

 

The 7th Sea 3rd Edition role-playing game Kickstarter, developed by Studio Agate and licensed through Chaosium, successfully launched and was fully funded in under 30 minutes. This new edition advances the setting timeline in Théah by 10 years to 1678 and is designed to be backwards compatible with 2nd Edition materials. The mechanics have been overhauled to focus on cinematic action using a modernized “Roll & Keep” system that incorporates two colors of d10s: one for Action and one for Wound dice. Available pledge tiers range from a PDF Collection (~~$70 USD) to Deluxe Box Sets (~~$187 – $280 USD), and the campaign is set to conclude on April 9th, 2026.

The DreadBall All-Stars Kickstarter by Mantic Games offers a new, standalone sci-fi sports board game that veterans Jervis Johnson and Alessio Cavatore designed to be a “full-contact version of NBA Basketball”. The game streamlines action for fast-paced, 60-minute matches by removing extensive team-building in favor of pre-assembled miniatures and fixed rosters. It features tactical play resolved via challenge rolls and “DreadBall cards,” multiple unique arenas that dynamically change the rules, and a new Battle Royale mode for 3 to 6 players. Mantic is providing the complete game and best value upfront, having opted out of traditional stretch goals, with the campaign concluding on April 9, 2026.

The Warmachine 3D: Lost, Damned & Salvation campaign by Steamforged Games is running on the MyMiniFactory FronTier platform, acting as a limited-time discounted pre-order for official, 3D-printable STL files. The campaign offers files for three *Warmachine* armies currently playable in the MK4 edition ruleset: Grymkin, Infernals, and Convergence of Cyriss. Customers can purchase a Single Army for $150 or the All-In Bundle for $299. The models will eventually be released on the standard MyMiniFactory store at a higher individual price after the 14-day FronTier campaign concludes.

Tunnels & Trolls: A New Age is a Kickstarter reboot of the classic 1975 heroic fantasy TTRPG, published by Rebellion Unplugged, which aims to be a simpler, less confusing alternative to D\&D. The system uses D6 dice pools with “Exploding Dice” for fast, chaotic conflict resolution, prioritizing luck and risk over optimized builds. While the system itself is described as simple and robust, the reviewer expressed mixed feelings due to the Quickstart adventure. The introductory quest—clearing rats from a basement—was criticized for its dullness and inclusion of archaic design choices, such as requiring a skill roll just to open a door. The campaign offers a core rulebook, a campaign book, a city setting book, and solo adventures.

Coming full circle and putting to rest Disney’s attempt at a sequel trilogy. Five years ago, we were hopeful for The Force Awakens. Then caught off guard by The Last Jedi. Now listen to what we have to say as the end of the Skywalker Saga is upon us. Alan joins us as we discuss where we were five years ago snd where we are now with Star Wars. What did The Rise of Skywalker do to the franchise and what is the future? Will the Mandalorian and streaming keep fans coming back? #starwars #disney #lucasfilm

Video: Actual Play: Alien RPG Cinematic Starter Kit “Chariot of the Gods”

Posted on by upturnedtable

The first session of the Cinematic Starter for the Free League Alien RPG available for download with all pre-orders of the game. Cinematic adventures are one-shot scenarios with pre-generated characters that replicate the tension and high body count of the Alien movies. We introduce the system and run through the characters and their relationships and talents. Our only complaint about the PDF is that it is not very printer-friendly being mostly light text on a black background. So we created a printer-friendly version of the character sheet and a player reference to help anyone interested in trying this adventure. #alienRPG #freeleague

Video: Mutant: Mechatron – Rise of the Robots LONG Review

Posted on by upturnedtable

[embedyt]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0VnDshleUNg[/embedyt]

Another deep dive into an RPG where we have both read the book and played a few session. This time it is Mutant: Mechatron – Rise of the Robots by Free League. It uses their Year Zero Engine, d6 dice pool system, and although it is a stand-alone game your robots can play with characters in both Mutant Year Zero and Genlab, once they escape Mechatron-7. We give you an overview of the system, character creation and the setting. Also a discussion of the surprising challenge of playing self-aware robot player characters. If you are familiar with Mutant Year Zero this is a great new take on post-apocalyptic characters and if you are new to the system and setting, it is well worth your time. Find out if this game is for you as we dive deep into Mutant: Mechatron.


Video: Unboxing Warhammer 40k Shadowspear

Posted on by upturnedtable

Unboxing the Warhammer 40k Shadowspear box set. This box leads up to the Vigilus campaign and contains Primaris Ultramarines versus Dark Legion. The Librarian in Phobos armor and the new daemon engine, the Venomcrawler, are the most notable part of the new miniatures. These are all new original sculpts and no repackaged sprues from previous releases. It contains a campaign book and two mini codexes. This refreshes a tired line of chaos space marine sculpts and gives the Phobos keyword more use for the Primaris.
