Survival Horror, Upturned Table -- Tabletop Everything From Everywhere

Paizo prepares to end its licensed partnership with the Archives of Nethys (AoN) on July 24th, affecting both thePathfinder and Starfinder ecosystems . Paizo stated that while the decision was partially influenced by a lack of generated royalties, it was also driven by the administrative burden of managing licenses and the need to clarify IP boundaries regarding artwork usage. Archives of Nethys plans to continue serving the community under the Community Use Policy, though this transition means the site will lose early access to books and must remove non-compliant artwork from its platform.

At the upcoming Gen Con, actor and D&D enthusiast Joe Manganiello will debut a live play event for his new setting, “Death Saves.” This “Black Label” setting, which shares its name with Manganiello’s existing clothing brand, will be showcased in a venue occupied by Wizards of the Coast. While the exact nature of the “Black Label” initiative remains speculative, observers suggest it could represent a new moniker for “adult” D&D content or an imprint for externally developed projects, similar to previous partnerships between Wizards of the Coast and third-party creators.

Modiphius Entertainment has announced a Wolfenstein TTRPG on Gamefound, which aims to capture the series’ high-octane, diesel-punk action. Mantic Games is launching an official Ghost in the Shell TTRPG, a long-term passion project from designer Alessio Cavatore. The game promises a custom narrative system and will include miniatures, aiming to translate the philosophical depth and visual style of the original manga into an immersive tabletop experience. Old Oak Games is preparing for the launch of Ink Ribbon, a survival horror TTRPG designed to emulate video games like Resident Evil and Silent Hill, complete with inventory management and “deadly bio-weapon” scenarios.

Goodman Games is readying the DCC RPG Book of Funnels, a hardcover collection featuring over 10 new 0-level adventures. These funnels are designed to be easily adaptable across various “Crawl Classics” systems, celebrating the popular format where players control multiple characters through high-stakes, often lethal encounters.

Chaosium is reviving the iconic The Great Pendragon Campaign for the 6th edition of the Pendragon tabletop RPG, originally created by Greg Stafford. Known for exploring 80 years of Arthurian legend, the updated campaign will be released in multiple volumes over two years, starting with Pendragon: The Boy King in August 2026. This first entry covers nearly twenty in-game years during King Uther Pendragon’s reign, focusing on a period of chaos and civil war that sets the path for Camelot’s rise. The new version is built upon notes and updates drafted by Stafford before his passing, aiming to integrate his complete vision of Arthurian Britain.

MCDM has launched a free alpha playtest for their upcoming Crows tabletop RPG, a survival horror dungeon crawler set in a post-apocalyptic fantasy world. The game, influenced by the OSR style, casts players as “Crows” searching for treasure in ancient ruins. Key mechanics emphasize survival and attrition, featuring equipment-driven character design, treasure-based advancement (where experience is gained from bringing loot back to town), and a central slot-based inventory system. Magic is unpredictable and lethal, combat is fast and dangerous, and time in the dungeon is tracked using Dungeon Turns and usage dice for resources. The playtest is centered on the multi-level “Blood Library” adventure, and players are asked to submit feedback before June 29th, 2026.

MÖRK BORG Heresy Supreme, the first video game adaptation of the apocalyptic MÖRK BORG tabletop RPG, is now available in Early Access. This is a side-scrolling action RPG featuring “souls-like” combat that is brutal, slow, and requires careful timing, where death is a constant element. The game’s premise involves a desperate attempt to stall the Apocalypse in a cursed, dark fantasy world. The developers plan to keep the game in Early Access for six months to a year, and they are actively engaging the player community to help shape future features, including voting on the next playable Class.

Venger’s Decks has released the physical edition of The Chaos Card Deck TTRPG, a complete, rules-light, card-based system designed for zero-prep tabletop adventuring. The game’s main appeal is its extreme portability and accessibility, using a single tarot-sized deck to handle mechanics for character creation, session generation, and on-the-fly monster encounters. The Chaos supports both solo and group play through a simple structural loop (The Keep, The Realm, return) that accommodates fluctuating player counts. The physical release, which is intended as a tactile upgrade over the free digital rules, also includes downloadable assets like high-definition battle maps and printable character sheets.
