The Weekly Podcast no.342 – D&D Encyclopedia, Backerkit X DriveThruRPG, CMON Layoffs and Our Lives, Our Fortunes

Posted on by upturnedtable

 

Set for an October 2026 release, this 320-page volume is authored by industry experts such as Matt Forbeck and Jon Peterson, covering multiple campaign settings and lore for $60.

Hasbro and Wizards of the Coast face significant challenges finding a developer for “Baldur’s Gate 4” following the departure of Larian Studios. Developers like Archetype Entertainment have declined the project, noting the overwhelming difficulty of following up the massive success of “Baldur’s Gate 3”.

BackerKit has partnered with DriveThruRPG to streamline the distribution of digital content for TTRPG crowdfunding campaigns. This integration allows for the automatic delivery of digital rewards to backers as soon as they pledge, improving the experience for both creators and supporters. 

The board game publisher CMON has undergone staff reductions, including the departure of long-time director of design and development Michael Shinall. These layoffs follow a difficult 2025 for the company, which recorded $20 million in losses and prompted the sale of several key IPs to stabilize its finances.1

“Our Lives, Our Fortunes” is a crowdfunding campaign on BackerKit, which runs until July 5, 2026. This supernatural horror TTRPG presents an alternate history of the American Revolution where the war is won not by traditional historical figures, but by witches, werewolves, and necromancers. Published by Wet Ink Games, the title utilizes the “+One System,” which relies on D6 dice pools for skills and a deck of playing cards to manage supernatural abilities, offering a unique narrative experience centered on the struggle for equality.

The Weekly LIVE 202 – Cyberpunk Red: Combat Zone, Windheim & Horn of the Dawn, Garbage and Glor and Mantic’s Epic Warpath

Posted on by upturnedtable

Cyberpunk Red: Combat Zone is a miniatures skirmish game based on the Cyberpunk tabletop role-playing universe. It offers a meaty experience with easy-to-read cards and tokens, inspired by turn-based tactical games like XCOM. The game is affordable and shipping to crowdfunding backers, with pre-orders open for retail release. Combat Zone is based on the same source material as CD Projekt Red’s own blockbuster multiplatform hit, R. Talsorian Games’ Cyberpunk tabletop role-playing universe. First published in the 1980s, Cyberpunk 2020 was later rebooted with Cyberpunk Red, the analog prequel to Cyberpunk 2077. So while the action technically takes place about 30 years before the events of the video game, many of the factions, weapons, and tropes will immediately be familiar to fans of V and Johnny Silverhand.

The Windheim Companion and The Horn of the Dawn are two books by Nordic Skalds. Windheim is a fantasy world setting for Dragonbane/Drakar och Demoner, set on an island with various factions in conflict. The Horn of the Dawn is a campaign trilogy set in Windheim, offering epic battles, political intrigue, and more.

Garbage & Glory is a tabletop RPG where players control raccoon adventurers diving into the human world to find valuable trash. The game features playable classes, a +One System gameplay mechanic, and garbage and glory cards for rewards.

Warpath, a mass-battle game in the Warpath Universe, is being reconsidered by Mantic Games. The studio has been working on refining the rules for an epic-scale version but faces competition from another company. They seek input from the community to decide the game’s direction, including possible retail launch, plastic models, and distribution channels.

The Weekly 077: Metal Gear Solid: The Boardgame Cancelled, New Never Going Home and Legend of the Five Rings LCG Ends

Posted on by upturnedtable

IDW Games will no longer publish the Metal Gear Solid boardgame. This means the designer also loses the license for the IP from Konami. This leaves more than 2,000 pre-orders on BackerKit and Amazon in limbo. The Legend of the Five Rings Living Card Game by Fantasy Flight is coming to an end. This doesn’t affect the RPG or novels they will continue to support. Wet Ink Games has released three new dossiers for their weird World War I game, Never Going Home.

Idle Red Hands Weekly 051: Frosthaven Finishes Big, Kickstarter Layoffs, Critter Hug, Never Going Home RPG, Into the Night and Filmento

Posted on by upturnedtable

Frosthaven, the sequel to Gloomhaven by Cephalofair Games, finished big on Kickstarter becoming the most funded boardgame ever. A well-deserved success. Kickstarter is laying off 45% of its staff due to the 35% decline in active projects on the platform and absolutely nothing to do with their recent unionization. Battlestar Galactica has a space battle miniatures game we will be trying. Critter Hug is a new series by some of the cast of Critical Role. A good thing for the hobby or just good old fashioned payola. Never Going Home by Wet Ink Games is a World War occult roleplaying game set during the Great War with art by Charles Ferguson-Avery. The game mechanics and the setting look excellent. Dan Carlin’s Hardcore History has an great series on World War One if you want some background for this game.  A YouTube channel, Filmento is worth checking out if you like movies. Into The Night, a Belgian Netflix series, may provide good inspiration for a roleplaying campaign.
