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.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.

The Weekly Podcast no.351 – Sword World Creator, New Lancer Books, $20 MtG Boosters and Traveller 50th Doc

Posted on September 6, 2026 by upturnedtable

The upcoming English release of Sword World RPG, a Japanese staple originally created by Group SNE in 1989. Mugen Gaming is producing the first official English translation of the 2.5 edition, with a Backerkit campaign scheduled to launch on October 20. This release seeks to bridge Eastern and Western fantasy gaming traditions by introducing the long-running franchise to a global audience. The interview with the original creator and current president of Group SNE sounds optimistic that this Japanese version of Dungeons and Dragons will resonate with current a whole new English-speaking audience. You can pre-order now for an exclusive enamel pin commerating the release.

The Lancer TTRPG is set to receive two official hardcover book releases in March 2027, published by Dark Horse Books in partnership with Massif Press. Operation Fulcrum Dawn will compile the narrative modules Operation Solstice Rain and Operation Winter Scar, while the Lancer Setting Guide Vol. 1 will collect digital supplements including The Long Rim and The Karrakin Trade Baronies. These books represent a significant shift from digital-only PDF availability to physical print formats for the sci-fi mech RPG.

Magic: The Gathering‘s upcoming Zeta Set, in collaboration with the artist collective MSCHF, challenging the industry practice of selling randomized booster packs at a $20 premium price point.

A documentary celebrating the 50-year history of the sci-fi RPG Traveller is currently crowdfunding on Kickstarer. Filmmaker “Tex” is collaborating with original creator Marc Miller to produce this project, which aims to chronicle the game’s evolution and community for a planned 2027 release. This seems like a fitting tribute for such an influential TTRPG. Why didn’t and other games receive this same treatment? We are looking at you, Tunnels and Trolls!

The Weekly Podcast no.349 – $1 Million Crowdfunders, John Blanche Tribute, Malegothica Miniaturesand Crows: Fortune or Death

Posted on August 22, 2026 by upturnedtable

The TTRPG industry has seen a notable shift in how crowdfunding campaigns reach the million-dollar milestone, moving away from simple book sales toward becoming “pop-up merchandising storefronts.” Campaigns like Deathbringer illustrate this strategy, where high-ticket add-ons such as custom dice, playmats, statuettes, and even denim jackets significantly boost the average pledge level. While these massive funding totals capture attention, experts note that profitability often relies on these high-margin items to offset the costs of advertising and production, while raising questions about the logistical challenges of fulfilling such complex pledges.

A tribute to the late legendary artist John Blanche. Organized by Secret Passages, this initiative invites artists and writers to contribute to a standalone 40+ page zine that celebrates Blanche’s five-decade career. This collection of original essays, interviews, and artwork aims to capture the spirit of his influence on the gaming community and will be available alongside the upcoming Secret Passages Issue 4 in Autumn 2026.

Magnagothica: Maleghast, a collaboration between Tom Bloom and Taiga Miniatures. This campaign focuses on bringing the heavy metal-inspired wargame to life with official 30mm miniatures. With a goal of US$6,666, the project has already seen significant success, raising over US$78,000 by late August 2026. The campaign offers a range of options, including physical resin models and STL files for at-home printing, targeting an early 2027 delivery for backers.

MCDM Productions is promoting Crows: Fortune or Death, a new survival horror RPG that emphasizes high-stakes dungeon crawling and resource management. Built for challenging gameplay where players must survive on wits rather than stats, the game features mechanics like “Dungeon Turns” and robust inventory management via cards. The campaign also introduces a town-building aspect, where players invest loot to improve their home base, creating a lasting legacy for future adventurers while offering backers various tiers that include starter sets, rulebooks, and specialized equipment decks.

The Weekly Podcast no.346 – Hight Out at WotC, Nethys Update, Operation Salmon Run, GURPS and 1490 Doom

Posted on August 3, 2026 by upturnedtable

John Hight, the president of Wizards of the Coast, is stepping down from his position on September 1, 2026, after serving for two years. This departure follows a challenging fiscal period for Hasbro, which recently reported a $56 million loss due to canceled video game projects, although the company maintains that its core tabletop businesses remain strong. Simultaneously, leaks suggest a major upcoming collaboration between Dungeons & Dragons and World of Warcraft, potentially signaling a strategic shift toward a heavier crossover model similar to Magic: The Gathering’s successful approach.

Following initial community concern over the potential end of their commercial license, Paizo and the Archives of Nethys have established a new, less formal agreement that preserves the site as an official rules archive for Pathfinder and Starfinder. Under this new arrangement, the Archives of Nethys will no longer report royalties, though it must remove art that falls outside the Community Use Policy. While the site will receive content files later than it previously did, both organizations emphasize that this adjustment ensures the continued accessibility of rules for the community.

Paizo is partnering with the Seattle Mariners for a themed event titled “Pathfinder: Operation Salmon Run Day,” scheduled for August 9, 2026, at T-Mobile Park. Fans purchasing special tickets to this game will receive an exclusive set of Mariners-themed polyhedral dice and a custom Pathfinder adventure module. This promotion is not only an opportunity for fans to engage with TTRPGs in a stadium setting, but it also supports Gamers Engaged, a Seattle-based non-profit, with a donation of $5 for every ticket sold.

Steve Jackson Games has opened pre-orders for the *GURPS Basic Set, 4th Edition Revised*, an update to their long-standing universal roleplaying system. This revision focuses on improving layout, readability, and accessibility while incorporating errata fixes and 16 pages of new game content without altering the core rules or compatibility with existing 4th Edition books. This release highlights the publisher’s enduring history, which includes a significant 1993 legal victory against the U.S. government that helped establish critical First Amendment protections for digital publications through the founding of the Electronic Frontier Foundation.

1490 Doom is a brutal, grimdark tabletop skirmish game created by Buer Games that is set in an alternate, dying Europe consumed by “the Creeping Death,” a toxic, rising fog that forces survivors to climb man-made structures to survive. In this fast-paced game, which typically lasts about 30 minutes over seven rounds, players command a “Doom Company” of three warriors and compete to score victory points by reaching the highest points of terrain, scavenging resource caches, and keeping their miniatures alive. The game emphasizes vertical movement, such as climbing and jumping, and features a “Breach” mechanic where miniatures whose armor is compromised must pass skill checks each round to avoid suffocating from the toxic fog. Players can utilize official models or their own 28–32mm miniatures, and the game is currently available through an express crowdfunding campaign for The Outpost at Meerbridge starter set.

The Weekly Podcast no.342 – D&D Encyclopedia, Backerkit X DriveThruRPG, CMON Layoffs and Our Lives, Our Fortunes

Posted on July 5, 2026 by upturnedtable

Set for an October 2026 release, this 320-page volume is authored by industry experts such as Matt Forbeck and Jon Peterson, covering multiple campaign settings and lore for $60.

Hasbro and Wizards of the Coast face significant challenges finding a developer for “Baldur’s Gate 4” following the departure of Larian Studios. Developers like Archetype Entertainment have declined the project, noting the overwhelming difficulty of following up the massive success of “Baldur’s Gate 3”.

BackerKit has partnered with DriveThruRPG to streamline the distribution of digital content for TTRPG crowdfunding campaigns. This integration allows for the automatic delivery of digital rewards to backers as soon as they pledge, improving the experience for both creators and supporters.

The board game publisher CMON has undergone staff reductions, including the departure of long-time director of design and development Michael Shinall. These layoffs follow a difficult 2025 for the company, which recorded $20 million in losses and prompted the sale of several key IPs to stabilize its finances.1

“Our Lives, Our Fortunes” is a crowdfunding campaign on BackerKit, which runs until July 5, 2026. This supernatural horror TTRPG presents an alternate history of the American Revolution where the war is won not by traditional historical figures, but by witches, werewolves, and necromancers. Published by Wet Ink Games, the title utilizes the “+One System,” which relies on D6 dice pools for skills and a deck of playing cards to manage supernatural abilities, offering a unique narrative experience centered on the struggle for equality.

The Weekly Podcast no.340 – Vampire 5.5E, Valiant Mutants & Masterminds, Rise of the Lazy Dungeon master and Rpg Trader

Posted on June 21, 2026 by upturnedtable

Vampire: The Masquerade is expanding its presence on D&D Beyond with a new 5.5E crossover product titled Bound by Blood, published by Ghostfire Gaming and featuring a new Kindred class and adventure. This move follows similar partnerships with other publishers, indicating a trend of rival games embracing the 5.5E ruleset. In a related shift, Renegade Games has announced it will discontinue its bespoke Essence20 system for new editions of its licensed properties like Transformers, GI Joe, and Power Rangers, transitioning instead to a modified version of Dungeons & Dragons 5.5E to reach a broader player base.

Green Ronin Publishing has officially released Valiant Adventures, a new TTRPG setting supplement for the Mutants & Masterminds third edition system. Based on the Valiant Universe, a shared world featuring characters like Bloodshot and X-O Manowa, the release includes two main volumes: the Hero’s Handbook and the Worlds of Valiant sourcebook. These supplements provide updated combat mechanics, a new “Hero Point” economy, and extensive lore, allowing players to explore this gritty and morally complex comic universe without requiring additional source material.

Award-winning designer Mike Shea, known as Sly Flourish, has announced Rise of the Lazy Gamemaster, a new 160-page resource designed to complement his previous Return of the Lazy Dungeon Master series. Unlike his earlier works that focused primarily on D&D 5E, this upcoming book will be system-agnostic, offering tools, tips, and adventure outlines adaptable to various systems including Shadowdark, Daggerheart, and Dragonbane. Shea aims to provide practical advice to speed up preparation and enhance interactivity, with a crowdfunding campaign for the project scheduled to launch in early July.

The independent TTRPG market has a new competitor with the launch of RPG Trader, a marketplace created by Ten Acre Games founder Hugh Lashbrooke to support indie creators. Designed as a specific alternative to larger platforms like DriveThruRPG and Itch.io, RPG Trader focuses on discoverability and flexible publishing tools, offering creators an 80% share of sales revenue. The platform distinguishes itself with a zero-tolerance policy for AI-generated content, an integrated print-on-demand service through Lulu, and a detailed taxonomy system to help players find games based on specific play styles and themes.

The Weekly Podcast no.324 – Dragonbane: Trudvang, Fallout Mega Bundle, MyMiniFactory Acquires Thingiverse and Ghost in the Shell RPG Again

Posted on February 22, 2026 by upturnedtable

Free League is bringing back the iconic world of Trudvang as a standalone tabletop roleplaying game, *Dragonbane: Trudvang*, which is fully compatible with their current, award-winning edition of *Dragonbane*. The setting, rooted in Nordic mythology, features shadowed woods, dreadful beasts, and endless mystery. The core rulebook will adapt and expand the *Dragonbane* ruleset for the *Trudvang* setting, including new kin, professions, heroic abilities, and unique magic for vitner weavers and dimwalkers. The Kickstarter campaign offers four hardback volumes in Swedish and English, with early access Beta PDFs a few months after the campaign concludes.

Modiphius and Humble Bundle have released a massive Fallout Tabletop Mega Bundle, which includes content for both the *Fallout Tabletop RPG* and the *Fallout: Wasteland Warfare* miniatures skirmish game. The bundle offers over $1k worth of items for $25, with a significant draw being the STL files for miniatures, allowing 3D printing enthusiasts to create various terrain pieces, iconic Bobbleheads, cars, and other items from the Wasteland. Even without a 3D printer, the bundle provides a robust selection of PDF rulebooks, including the RPG Core Rulebook, Settler’s and Wanderer’s Guides, NPC packs, the *Winter of Atom* campaign, and *Wasteland Warfare* expansions like *Liberty Prime*. A portion of the proceeds from the bundle, which has already raised over $14k, supports the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU).

MyMiniFactory announced its acquisition of Thingiverse, the world’s oldest and largest 3D printing community, adding it to its family alongside YouMagine. MyMiniFactory’s decade-long focus has been on building a sustainable platform for creators, having paid out over $100 million to designers. The acquisition aims to support the underserved Thingiverse community by providing creators with the necessary tools, support, and business models. As part of MyMiniFactory’s 2025 “SoulCrafted initiative” to protect human creativity from AI-generated content, Thingiverse will now adopt a zero-tolerance stance on AI-generated designs. The platforms will remain independent, and the open sharing culture, including existing free models, will be preserved.

Mantic Games has announced they will be publishing a new *Ghost in the Shell* Tabletop Roleplaying Game in 2026. This new RPG is based solely on the original manga by Shirow Masamune. It features a bespoke design by Alessio Cavatore and Zak Barouh, combining fast-paced, narrative-driven mechanics with the philosophical depth of the source material. The game is set in a near-future world of cybernetics and political intrigue, where players design their own trainee agents in Section 9 and features rules for combat and hacking, a rich armoury of gear, and the first mission, *Lost Patriot*. This is the second *Ghost in the Shell* TTRPG due in the same year, following the crowd-funded *Ghost in the Shell Arise TTRPG* by Mana Project Studio, which is based on the anime.
