The Weekly Podcast no.358 – Sword World 2.5, WotC Declines Union, 3 New for OSR and Goodman Games 25th

Posted on October 24, 2026 by upturnedtable

Group SNE and Mugen Gaming are running a major crowdfunding campaign to fund the official full-English localization and release of Japan’s iconic 2d6 tabletop RPG, Sword World 2.5. The campaign covers the localization and printing of core rulebooks, accessory card packs, starter sets, dice, and digital compendiums across multiple platforms including Roll20, Foundry, and the new Sword World Nexus digital portal.

United Wizards of the Coast–CWA announced that Wizards of the Coast has declined to voluntarily recognize union units representing D&D and Studio X staff ahead of a formal vote. While WotC management stated they prefer direct collaboration and plan to vote against unionization, they committed to respecting the election outcomes administered by the National Labor Relations Board. Union organizers are seeking protections regarding generative AI, fair wages, layoff security, and personal IP rights.

Three major OSR projects have surfaced, highlighted by David “Zeb” Cook’s mythical adventure The Afterlife of King Neiren under Necromancer Games. Additionally, Luke Gygax and Gooey Cube launched The Temple of Inquinatious Evil, a 500-page homage to The Temple of Elemental Evil supporting multiple systems, while Advanced Fantasy Games successfully funded The Cradle of Skulls, a classic dungeon crawl designed for OSRIC and 1E AD&D.

More than two decades ago, Goodman Games launched Dungeon Crawl Classics #1: Idylls of the Rat King. Today, Goodman Games celebrates 25 years in business.This crowdfunding offers the fantastic dice, dungeon crawls, and deals you expect from Goodman Games: “Old School from the Start”, the definitive history of Goodman Games, written by Stu Horvath. A new art book showcasing over two decades worth of fantastic images! No pesky rules in this one, just gorgeous art to marvel at! A NEW soul-searing adventure from Harley Stroh. This one’s so wild it could only be called Taste the Blood of Sezrekan! A new printing of the core rulebook with never-before-seen cover art. A new glittering die, the d25, in a custom wooden display case! And much, much more!

The Weekly Podcast no.357 – 13 Omens, Painted Wasteland 5.5E, Red Caps for Wacrow and EN World Bot Swarm

Posted on October 17, 2026 by upturnedtable

Paizo Inc. has announced 13 Omens, a story-focused horror tabletop roleplaying game structured like a horror movie across three acts and a prologue. Designed for single-session play with self-contained archetypes, the game uses a shared dice bag mechanic where Host players add Omen Dice to increase tension and risk as the narrative unfolds. Production will begin after its Kickstarter campaign, with fulfillment expected in May 2027.

Agamemnon Press is adapting its Ennie-award-winning surreal acid-punk setting, Painted Wastelands, from Old School Essentials (OSE) to D&D 5.5e on Backerkit. Created in collaboration between writer Christopher Willett and artist Tim Molloy, the updated line includes a 100+ page Adventurer’s Handbook and a revamped Campaign Guide featuring new subclasses, species, spells, and NPC patrons, while maintaining ongoing support for OSE.

Corvus Belli is expanding its fantasy tabletop wargame, Warcrow, with a brand-new army known as the Red Caps, scheduled for release on October 22, 2026. Led by General Nuada and his elf advisor Anayram, these volatile, impish creatures bring unique units like Bugbowls, Choppers, and Flamecobs to the game. Pre-orders feature box sets, a starter bundle, and compatibility with the companion board game, Warcrow Adventures.

Long-running tabletop news and forum platform EN World has been experiencing massive traffic spikes and temporary outages due to overwhelming swarms of aggressive AI web-scraping bots. Founder Russ Morrissey reported bot numbers reaching nearly 200,000 at peak times, forcing brief access restrictions to protect server hardware and software processing limits while long-term mitigation strategies are evaluated.

The Weekly Podcast no.356 – WotC Union, Orb Tyrants, Renegade Loves Hasbro and One Ring Revised

Posted on October 11, 2026 by upturnedtable

Workers across Dungeons & Dragons, D&D Beyond, and Studio X (Magic: The Gathering tabletop) have announced their intent to unionize under United Wizards of the Coast and the Communications Workers of America. Following the recent union victory by the MTG Arena team, these workers are seeking voluntary recognition from WotC and Hasbro. Their key demands include protections against AI encroachment, fair wages, job security amidst industry layoffs, improved working conditions, and the right to maintain full ownership of creative projects made on their own time.

Orb Tyrants is a third-party, miniature-agnostic TTRPG skirmish game set in the Forbidden Psalm ecosystem, currently crowdfunding on Kickstarter. Designed for 1 to 4 players with solo and campaign modes, players create randomly generated floating horrors, harvest organs from rival monsters, and fight for dungeon dominance on a compact battlefield using fast alternating activations.

Renegade Game Studios has announced the conclusion of its publishing partnership with White Wolf for World of Darkness titles, meaning RGS will no longer publish or sell Vampire: The Masquerade, Werewolf: The Apocalypse, or Hunter: The Reckoning after January 1, 2026. Concurrently, Renegade renewed its licensing agreement with Hasbro to continue producing games based on major IPs such as Transformers, G.I. JOE, Power Rangers, and classic board games, while also preparing second editions and new TTRPG expansions.

Free League Publishing and lead designer Francesco Nepitello are crowdfunding new expansions and revised rules for The One Ring RPG on Backerkit. The campaign introduces the Gondor campaign expansion (The White Tower and the Hall of Gold), a comprehensive bestiary (Creatures Strange and Foul), and a updated Core Rulebook featuring a dedicated solo mode (Strider Mode), with parallel 5.5e-compatible adaptations released under Lord of the Rings Roleplaying.

The Weekly Podcast no.355 – D&D Hires, Algorithmic Loyalty, UK Expo Bans AI and Black Death City

Posted on October 3, 2026 by upturnedtable

Wizards of the Coast has expanded its Dungeons & Dragons design team by hiring veteran RPG creator Celeste Conowitch as a Senior Game Developer following her five-year tenure at Kobold Press. Meanwhile, former D&D community manager LaTia Jacquise was laid off amid broader leadership shifts, including the resignation of CEO John Hight. Additionally, D&D Beyond teased “Project Lamordia,” an upcoming horror adventure reimagining the Ravenloft setting as a tech corporation.

Mongoose Publishing announced “Algorithmic Loyalty,” a new adventure for the dystopian comedy RPG Paranoia that parodies influencer culture and social media platforms. Set in Alpha Complex, the module forces players to navigate demanding algorithms, viral video requirements, and troublesome in-universe celebrities on the platform “VidMe” while trying to survive the whims of Friend Computer.

UK Games Expo introduced a strict policy banning AI-generated art, text, and merchandise from its convention trade floor, joining other UK events like Dragonmeet and Tabletop Scotland in supporting human creators. The decision comes after public backlash regarding generative AI products at past events, though the policy leaves room for organizer discretion regarding minor digital editing and assistance tools.

Former Games Workshop lead designer Sam Pearson released “Black Death City,” a free skirmish wargame described as a spiritual successor or 2.0 edition to the classic game Mordheim. Featuring alternate model activations, interactive parrying mechanics, and atmospheric city-gothic warbands, the indie project offers a tactical ruleset set in a plague-ridden fantasy metropolis.

The Weekly Podcast no.354 – Necromunda TTRPG, Paizo Price Increase, Star Trek 60th 2d20 and Nobunaga’s Black Castle

Posted on September 26, 2026 by upturnedtable

Games Workshop has announced Necromunda Roleplay, a standalone tabletop RPG set in the Warhammer 40,000 universe. Designed as a companion to Necromunda Skirmish, the game utilizes a d100 roll-under system and comes as a Core Set featuring a 224-page rulebook, 18 plastic miniatures, playmats, dice, and custom character sheets.

Paizo announced upcoming price increases for select Pathfinder and Starfinder titles, taking effect on October 1st, 2026. Driven by US tariffs, global trade changes, and rising production costs following a difficult financial year, core hardcovers will increase by $10 to $69.99 USD, while pocket editions and select Lost Omens hardcovers will rise by $5. Adventures, scenarios, fiction, and PDFs remain unaffected.

Modiphius Entertainment opened pre-orders for the Star Trek Adventures 60th Anniversary Boxed Set. Set for release in December 2026, the premium collection features a foil-debossed thermal leatherette second-edition core rulebook, a lenticular holographic box, 15 double-sided reference cards, and a double-sided poster map of the galaxy.

Green Ronin Publishing launched the Kickstarter for Nobunaga’s Black Castle, an official English-language edition of the Japanese Sengoku doom-metal tabletop RPG. Fully compatible with MÖRK BORG, the game casts players as vengeful souls rising from Hell to overthrow the demon-pact-bound Oda Nobunaga across an alternate 16th-century Japan.
