Renegade Game Studios has announced the launch of the Welcome to Night Vale RPG, based on the popular podcast of the same name. The crowdfunding campaign will kick off on BackerKit on October 1, 2024. The game was first revealed at Gen Con 2023, offering fans the chance to immerse themselves in the strange and supernatural world of Night Vale. Players can choose between pre-generated characters or create their own citizens to experience the mysterious desert town. Co-creator Joseph Fink expressed his excitement about allowing fans to tell their own stories in the Night Vale universe. Renegade Game Studios has previously released a variety of tabletop RPGs and continues to expand its offerings.

Renowned Warhammer author William King has joined the design team for the alt-history WW2 wargame Konflikt ‘47. Best known for his Gotrek and Felix and Space Wolf series, King brings extensive experience in fantasy and game design. His addition to the team comes as Konflikt ‘47 expands its creative vision with Andy Chambers at the helm. King will contribute to both the rules and lore of the game, infusing his passion for dieselpunk, alternate history, and World War II themes. Warlord Games promises additional high-profile team members will be announced soon.

Alchemy, a platform that offers digital modules for tabletop RPGs, announced that it will no longer provide free PDF downloads of titles purchased through Free League Publishing due to changes in Free League’s policies. Alchemy will continue to support PDF downloads for the next seven days, allowing customers to obtain digital copies of games like Tales from the Loop and Mörk Borg. Alchemy emphasized their commitment to ensuring that customers retain access to their content despite potential future issues with cloud-based services.

TabletopGamingNews.com is facing significant challenges due to declining traffic and the rise of AI-generated content. Once a thriving site for tabletop gaming news, it now struggles to maintain its readership and budget. Chief editor Daniel Kling Lorentsen, who runs the site from his farm in Norway, revealed that he has had to rely on AI-generated articles to keep the site running. Despite this, Lorentsen remains committed to the community and aims to revive the site by producing more human-made content, provided traffic improves. He urges readers to continue visiting the site to help ensure its survival.

Free League Publishing, known for RPGs such as Tales from the Loop, Symbaroum, and Coriolis, has launched an extensive Immersive RPG Bundle for the Alchemy virtual tabletop (VTT). This bundle includes 50 items from Free League’s catalog, covering various rulebooks, adventures, and supplemental materials. Normally valued at over $1,000, the bundle is available for $30. Additionally, purchasing the bundle supports Direct Relief, a nonprofit providing global medical aid. The bundle features games like Tales from the Loop, Vaesen – Nordic Horror Roleplaying, Dragonbane, and Mutant Year Zero, among others. It offers core rulebooks, expansion books, pre-made adventures, and campaign books, excluding the ALIEN RPG due to licensing constraints. This special offer runs for 19 more days.

During Hasbro’s Q2 earnings call, CEO Chris Cocks announced that the D&D virtual tabletop is set to be available later this year. Described as a “3D roleplaying sandbox experience,” the VTT will be previewed at GenCon and promises to enhance the digital D&D experience with its build on Unreal Engine 5. Pre-orders for the new Player’s Handbook include a virtual miniature of a gold dragon, indicating the platform’s readiness for use. The earnings call highlighted that Wizards of the Coast, part of Hasbro, continues to drive significant revenue growth, notably through digital products like Baldur’s Gate 3 and D&D Beyond. The new VTT aims to integrate D&D’s digital and physical gameplay, offering backward compatibility with fifth edition adventures and supplements, though third parties are already referring to the new rules as “5.5.”

Limithron has announced two new expansions for the Pirate Borg tabletop RPG, to be funded through a Kickstarter campaign launching on September 17. The expansions, titled Cabin Fever and Down Among the Dead, will be released as hardcover editions along with collectible items like GM screens, dice sets, custom coins, and ship combat tokens.Cabin Fever, created through the Known Conspirators community on itch.io, features over 144 pages of content from various creators. Down Among the Dead includes three new adventures, modular rulesets, and other GM resources across 120 pages. These expansions promise to add significant new content and options for Pirate Borg players.

Faith Elisabeth Lilley, a former member of the digital content team at Wizards of the Coast (WOTC), revealed that the team’s credits have been removed from D&D Beyond. The team was responsible for integrating book content into the online platform and contributing to the book development process. Although initially agreed that the team would be credited on D&D Beyond due to space limitations in physical books, their names have recently been removed without notice.The removal of credits has sparked disappointment and criticism within the community, as it undermines the contributions of those who significantly improved the quality and success of D&D’s digital and physical products.Also, Dark Horse Comics has announced a licensing deal with Wizards of the Coast to produce new comics and graphic novels based on Dungeons & Dragons and Magic: The Gathering, starting in 2025. This collaboration will feature original stories expanding the lore and universes of these popular games. Dark Horse has a history of publishing licensed gaming comics and aims to bring fresh, high-stakes stories to fans and newcomers alike.The partnership will include comic series, graphic novels, art books, and more, with a focus on engaging storytelling and captivating artwork. Fans can look forward to the first releases in the summer of 2025.
