Renegade Game Studios announces a “full scale” Dungeon Crawler Carl RPG based on Matt Dinniman’s popular LitRPG series. The game will immerse players in the hilariously brutal world of Carl, featuring deadly traps, absurd loot, and relentless entertainment derived from the book series about a Coast Guard veteran and his ex-girlfriend’s cat competing in an alien-created dungeon crawl. Renegade, known for their licensed IP work including World of Darkness, Power Rangers, and GI Joe RPGs, plans additional Dungeon Crawler Carl titles including board and deck-building games, with the RPG expected in 2026.
WizKids unveiled D&D Stranger Things: Heroes of Hellfire, a new miniatures set launching in October 2025 that features six painted miniatures of the Stranger Things cast’s D&D characters, including Lady Applejack, Tayr the Paladin, and a classic pewter-style D&D Vecna. This release coincides with WotC’s upcoming Stranger Things: Welcome to the Hellfire Club RPG boxed set, demonstrating the continued expansion of cross-media RPG merchandise and tie-ins that leverage popular entertainment properties to attract new players to tabletop gaming.
Glass Cannon Unplugged is developing an official Diablo tabletop RPG set to launch via Kickstarter in Fall 2025, featuring a custom d6 dice pool system designed for “cinematic action” and fast-paced tactical combat. The game promises to address a common D&D criticism by starting players as “seasoned heroes” rather than “inexperienced and squishy 1st levels,” allowing immediate access to epic-level gameplay from session zero. The 300+ page core rulebook will be accompanied by premium miniatures and an anthology of one-shot adventures written by RPG industry luminaries including John Harper (Blades in the Dark), Joe LeFavi (Blade Runner RPG), and Shawn Tomkin (Ironsworn).
Mugen Gaming announced they are bringing Sword World RPG to English for the first time, localizing Japan’s most successful and culturally significant fantasy RPG that has eclipsed Dungeons & Dragons in its home market since 1989. Created by Group SNE and originally serving as the official Lodoss War RPG, Sword World uses a 2d6 system with flexible multi-classing that emphasizes teamwork and collaborative storytelling over individual heroism. The company plans to crowdfund the Sword World 2.5 Deluxe Rulebook in 2026, with long-term support including expansions, adventures, and community resources to establish the game in the English-speaking market.
