Free League Publishing has launched a successful Kickstarter campaign for two new supplements to their award-winning Dragonbane fantasy RPG. The campaign features “Arkand: City of Waves and Flames,” which introduces players to a seaside city setting with over a dozen adventure sites, complete with a full-color map. The second supplement, “Book of Magic,” adds new schools of magic including harmonism, demonology, necromancy, witchcraft, and illusionism, along with additional spells for existing magical schools. The campaign has already raised over $455,000, far exceeding its initial $26,064 goal with 21 days remaining.
A new comprehensive reference guide called “Lodestar” has been released for the popular solo-friendly fantasy RPG Ironsworn. This 99-page streamlined reference includes essential rules, character creation guides, oracle tables, and content from the Delve expansion all in one convenient format. What makes this particularly notable is that players can download the PDF for free or pay what they want, with print-on-demand versions available at cost, making it an accessible resource for both new and existing players of the Powered-by-the-Apocalypse framework game.
Wizards of the Coast has announced a partnership with Giant Skull, a new studio led by former Respawn director Stig Asmussen (known for the Star Wars Jedi series and God of War games). The collaboration will produce a single-player action-adventure game set in the Dungeons & Dragons universe, marking what appears to be a strategic shift away from multiplayer formats following previous disappointments. The game is currently in development for PC and console platforms, with Asmussen promising “immersive storytelling, heroic combat, and exhilarating traversal.”
Celebrating its 30th anniversary, major tabletop publisher Asmodee has unveiled a comprehensive rebrand featuring a new logo and consumer-focused identity with the tagline “Inspired by Players.” The company, which publishes popular games like Ticket to Ride, CATAN, 7 Wonders, and Star Wars: Unlimited, developed the new branding with Publicis Groupe’s Carré Noir design agency. CEO Thomas Koegler explained that the rebrand aims to make Asmodee more visible and recognizable to players directly, strengthening their relationship with consumers while maintaining their reputation for quality across their portfolio of over 400 intellectual properties and 21 studios.
