VentureMaidens, Upturned Table -- Tabletop Everything From Everywhere

Wizards of the Coast has expanded its Dungeons & Dragons design team by hiring veteran RPG creator Celeste Conowitch as a Senior Game Developer following her five-year tenure at Kobold Press. Meanwhile, former D&D community manager LaTia Jacquise was laid off amid broader leadership shifts, including the resignation of CEO John Hight. Additionally, D&D Beyond teased “Project Lamordia,” an upcoming horror adventure reimagining the Ravenloft setting as a tech corporation.

Mongoose Publishing announced “Algorithmic Loyalty,” a new adventure for the dystopian comedy RPG Paranoia that parodies influencer culture and social media platforms. Set in Alpha Complex, the module forces players to navigate demanding algorithms, viral video requirements, and troublesome in-universe celebrities on the platform “VidMe” while trying to survive the whims of Friend Computer.

UK Games Expo introduced a strict policy banning AI-generated art, text, and merchandise from its convention trade floor, joining other UK events like Dragonmeet and Tabletop Scotland in supporting human creators. The decision comes after public backlash regarding generative AI products at past events, though the policy leaves room for organizer discretion regarding minor digital editing and assistance tools.

Former Games Workshop lead designer Sam Pearson released “Black Death City,” a free skirmish wargame described as a spiritual successor or 2.0 edition to the classic game Mordheim. Featuring alternate model activations, interactive parrying mechanics, and atmospheric city-gothic warbands, the indie project offers a tactical ruleset set in a plague-ridden fantasy metropolis.
