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!
