Hasbro recently cancelled a Dungeons and Dragons action game being developed by Giant Skull, the studio led by former Star Wars Jedi director Stig Asmussen, though Giant Skull is currently looking for a new publishing deal. Meanwhile, Hasbro CEO Chris Cocks has announced that more D&D crossover products are in the works, drawing inspiration from the success of Magic: The Gathering, and he described the upcoming space opera RPG Exodus as “D&D in space”. Separately, the United Wizards of the Coast union reported that WotC and Hasbro have hired a union avoidance firm and are conducting a daily anti-union campaign via email. Wizards of the Coast launched “Drops,” a new weekly and monthly feature providing content like maps, spells, and feats exclusively for D&D Beyond Hero and Master tier subscribers. While intended as a value-add, Drops content cannot be shared among campaign members using the Master tier subscription—the traditional core benefit of the service—and access is lost if a subscription is cancelled. D&D Beyond executives claim this restriction is a necessary tradeoff to ensure designers are paid, but this shift effectively encourages every player in a group to purchase a minimum Hero Tier subscription to access all player-facing material.

Worlds Beyond Brawl is a campaign showcasing the One Page Rules Compatibility Program by offering over 500 3D printable models across 53 skirmish warbands from 18 miniature companies. All models are fully compatible with One Page Rules’ free games, Grimdark Future: Firefight and Age of Fantasy Skirmish, with custom stats provided on the Army Forge web app. The models are professionally supported and test-printed, available for personal use only, and are delivered to a user’s MyMiniFactory library upon pledging.

Dungeon Scrawl launched a free, instant, and browser-based map generator for TTRPGs that requires no installation or account. This easy-to-use mapmaking app is presented as a solution for Game Masters who need maps quickly during a session or a starting point for a new project. The feature uses procedural generation (not AI) to instantly create fully explorable, gridded dungeon maps. Users can customize the results by adjusting input criteria such as overall map size, layout style, room count, room size and shape, and corridor length and width.Every map generated is fully editable. Finished maps can be exported for use on any Virtual Tabletop (VTT), or they can be printed or broadcast to a TV/monitor using the “Send to Tabletop” tool for in-person games. The Random Dungeons feature is currently available in beta.

Free RPG Day 2026 will take place on June 27th, featuring 30 unique tabletop RPG publishers and accessory makers who will provide free modules, quick start guides, and accessories to participating Friendly Local Game Stores. Publishers participating this year include Paizo (with a Pathfinder 2E and Starfinder 2E adventure), Chaosium, Darrington Press (with a Daggerheart adventure), and Marvel (with a Multiverse RPG preview). The goal is to raise awareness of the TTRPG hobby, and customers are advised to use the official store locator and show up early due to limited inventory.

Requiem for the Wretched Dead, a new survival RPG by John Harper set in the Deathlands of the Blades in the Dark universe, which utilizes the Breathless SRD rules. This announcement notably coincided with an outpouring of TTRPG community support that helped fund the creator of Breathless: Frightmare Edition after they had initially worried about an unsatisfying outcome, illustrating the special nature of the TTRPG community.

The reprint of The One Ring card for Magic: The Gathering’s crossover with The Hobbit. Veteran artist Donato Giancola accused Wizards of the Coast of reusing and modifying the earlier borderless art by Marta Nael, rather than commissioning a new, original piece from credited artist Dan Frazier. Both Frazier and Wizards of the Coast later confirmed that Nael’s work was unintentionally used as a reference that Frazier painted over. Wizards apologized, acknowledging failures in their internal review process, and promised to update digital versions to credit both artists and ensure Marta Nael is compensated.

The Neon Odyssey is a highly successful Kickstarter campaign by Legends of Avantris, which has massively exceeded its funding goal to become a 1,400+ page Space Opera trilogy for Dungeons & Dragons 5.5e. Inspired by retro sci-fi films and video games, the project introduces the Stardust Rhapsody campaign setting across three books: the Outrunner’s Handbook, Cosmic Codex, and the Overdrive Expansion. Key features include a new Machinist class, sci-fi class skins for all core 5.5e classes, a dedicated Starfighting System for space combat, over 30 space-faring species, and a 52-Card Cosmic Oracle Deck.

Demonic Grimoire serves as the central book for “OSE Month 2026,” a group-collaboration project spearheaded by Exalted Funeral and Necrotic Gnome. The month-long event centers on the theme of “DEMONS” and features a new 176-page book for Old-School Essentials (OSE), a TTRPG inspired by classic games of the 1970s and 1980s. This core book will introduce hordes of new monsters, adventures set in the realms of hell, and fiendish character options, alongside sister projects from 16 other renowned creators in the OSE community.

HELLBLASTER: Against the Cyberfiends is a highly funded component of OSE Month by Bloodstar Productions. This Old-School Essentials module for high-level characters blends classic science-fantasy with ’90s occult-industrial aesthetics. The module’s premise is a crashed starship that vomits corruption into a sword-and-sorcery world, forcing adventurers to confront cyborg demons and alien tech. Players must contend with three rival factions—The Doombringers, The Cult of Pleasure, and The Machine Collective—and can seize supercharged weapons, powered armor, and mechanized melee weapons to fight back against the hellish forces.
