The Weekly Podcast no.309 – Warhammer 5th Edition, Dragonbane: Trudvang, Pendragon Anniversary and Designers & Dragons Origins

Posted on October 26, 2025 by upturnedtable

Cubicle 7 is launching a new 5th edition of Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay (WFRP) in 2026, coinciding with the game’s 40th anniversary. The new edition, described as an “evolution, not a revolution,” will retain the D100 system and focus on standardizing rules and streamlining peripheral subsystems while maintaining backward compatibility with 4th edition supplements. Dominic McDowall, Head of Creative and Design, highlighted the intention to make the game “a little more deadly” and confirmed a new mega-campaign is in the works.

Free League Publishing announced Dragonbane: Trudvang, a new game world and setting for their Dragonbane RPG, launching on Kickstarter in early 2026. This massive setting, rooted in Nordic mythology, will feature four hardback volumes: a World Book, a Book of Heroes, Jorgi’s Bestiary, and The Black Sun epic campaign. Dragonbane: Trudvang is a licensed product from CMON and will feature art from Paul Bonner and Alvaro Tapia.

Chaosium is also celebrating the 40th anniversary of Pendragon with a Kickstarter for a Pendragon Classic Edition deluxe boxed set. This faithful recreation of the 1st edition includes the original 1985 cover art, a Player Book, a Gamemaster book, a map, play aids, and pregenerated character sheets. The campaign also offers expansions like The Pendragon Campaign, The Grey Knight, and Tournament of Dreams.

Evil Hat Productions has a Kickstarter for Designers & Dragons: Origins, a four-volume set by historian Shannon Appelcline. This new series chronicles the history of over 300 products released by TSR for Original D&D, Advanced D&D 1e, and Basic D&D from 1971 to 1995. The ~1400-page set will be released as a deluxe hardcover box set with full-color interiors, ribbon bookmarks, and a custom slipcase, with a projected delivery date of July 2026. Due to shipping complexities, physical books will only be shipped to the USA, with international backers offered PDF, ePub, and print-on-demand options.

Basic Roleplaying will be one of the first major releases under the Open RPG Creative Licence, with Chaosium saying it had revised the system’s newest edition specifically to cater to use via the new license.The Basic Roleplaying: The Universal Game Engine book will include the system’s core rules for creating characters and progressing them through levels, as well as details on how to handle combat, magic and superpowers, weapons and equipment, vehicles, and more.

Five years after the release of Gangs of Rome, Footsore Miniatures & Games, with your help, would like to create a version two rulebook containing new core, advanced and campaign rules alongside new double-sided, full-colour printed MDF tokens.The current miniatures are compatible with the new rules and will be available during the Kickstarter, providing a sizeable supporting range.
