Wizards of the Coast is working on a revision of the 5th edition of D&D, initially referred to as One D&D and later as the 2024 revision. However, the release of the Monster Manual, the final book in the revised rulebooks, is delayed until February 18, 2025, a year after the game’s 51st anniversary. The Player’s Handbook (2024) is expected to release on September 17, 2024, followed by the Dungeon Master’s Guide on November 12, 2024, and the Monster Manual on February 18, 2025. Two new adventures for D&D: “Vecna: Eve of Ruin” and “Quests from the Infinite Staircase,” offering diverse settings and challenges will also be released this year. A history book titled “The Making of Original Dungeons & Dragons: 1970-1977” by Jon Peterson is set to release on June 18, 2024. The 3D virtual tabletop for D&D, aiming to enhance the gaming experiences also due some time this year. Additional products, including footwear and apparel from Converse, an official LEGO IDEAS building set, and treats from Pop-Tarts.

A new sci-fi wargame called “Epic Warpath” by Mantic Games is introduced, drawing inspiration from the classic Epic 40k and involving tiny miniatures in large-scale battles. The Kickstarter campaign is now live and is only running for 15 days. Four Warpath army factions are included with the possibility of unlocking two more as Stretch Goals.

Comedian Sarah Silverman and other authors filed a copyright case against OpenAI, alleging that ChatGPT pirated their work. The court partially dismissed some claims, but the main complaint of direct copyright infringement remains. This is one of several copyright lawsuits Open AI is facing including suits from John Grisham, George R.R. Martin and The New York Times.

Goodman Games is running a crowdfunding campaign for Adventures On the Purple Planet, offering various DCC RPG products, including a hardcover compilation, dice sets, accessories, and more. This campaign is on Backerkit and is a hardcover volume including all the contents of the previously released Purple Planet boxed set. Seven publishers are also contributing to this campaign and the more campaigns you support the more you can save as well as getting a free 3d6 dice set.

The Weekly LIVE 202 – Cyberpunk Red: Combat Zone, Windheim & Horn of the Dawn, Garbage and Glor and Mantic’s Epic Warpath

Posted on August 6, 2023August 9, 2023 by upturnedtable_sx8obi

Cyberpunk Red: Combat Zone is a miniatures skirmish game based on the Cyberpunk tabletop role-playing universe. It offers a meaty experience with easy-to-read cards and tokens, inspired by turn-based tactical games like XCOM. The game is affordable and shipping to crowdfunding backers, with pre-orders open for retail release. Combat Zone is based on the same source material as CD Projekt Red’s own blockbuster multiplatform hit, R. Talsorian Games’ Cyberpunk tabletop role-playing universe. First published in the 1980s, Cyberpunk 2020 was later rebooted with Cyberpunk Red, the analog prequel to Cyberpunk 2077. So while the action technically takes place about 30 years before the events of the video game, many of the factions, weapons, and tropes will immediately be familiar to fans of V and Johnny Silverhand.

The Windheim Companion and The Horn of the Dawn are two books by Nordic Skalds. Windheim is a fantasy world setting for Dragonbane/Drakar och Demoner, set on an island with various factions in conflict. The Horn of the Dawn is a campaign trilogy set in Windheim, offering epic battles, political intrigue, and more.

Garbage & Glory is a tabletop RPG where players control raccoon adventurers diving into the human world to find valuable trash. The game features playable classes, a +One System gameplay mechanic, and garbage and glory cards for rewards.

Warpath, a mass-battle game in the Warpath Universe, is being reconsidered by Mantic Games. The studio has been working on refining the rules for an epic-scale version but faces competition from another company. They seek input from the community to decide the game’s direction, including possible retail launch, plastic models, and distribution channels.
