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

    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. #dnd #wetink #cmon #baldursgates4 Our Lives, Our Fortunes on Backerkit: https://www.backerkit.com/c/projects/wet-ink-games/our-lives-our-fortunes  Roll Big or Go Home Bundle: https://humblebundleinc.sjv.io/k49Mnd Doctor Who and Warhammer to Cthulhu, Transformers, and even My Little Pony!

    The Weekly Podcast no.341 – Monolith’s Conan Returns, Witcher: No Man’s Land, MtG Arean Union and Operation: Leading Edge

    Monolith is launching a new Kickstarter campaign to reprint most of their Conan board game and roleplaying game range, introducing expansions like Tortage and Zamora. Additionally, it was announced that animation legend Genndy Tartakovsky, Cartoon Network Studios, and Prime Video are collaborating on an early-stage animated series based on Conan the Barbarian. Monster Fight Club has revealed The Witcher: No Man’s Land, a new tabletop miniatures skirmish game designed in partnership with CD PROJEKT RED. Utilizing the publisher’s [RE]action System for fast, organic combat, the game offers a factionless force-building system, with a 2-player starter set containing miniatures, tactical cards, and scenario components. In labor news, employees of the Magic: The Gathering Arena division at Wizards of the Coast have successfully voted to form a union, with 79 out of 102 eligible voters supporting the initiative. Represented by the Communications Workers of America (CWA), the unit plans to negotiate a collective bargaining agreement to address workplace concerns such as pay, crunch time, and return-to-office policies. Free League Publishing is set to release Operation: Leading Edge in Q4 2026, the second cinematic adventure expansion in the Alien RPG “Jeremiah Saga.” Designed for 3–5 players, the expansion includes a standalone narrative focusing on Colonial Marines, along with maps, character cards, and tokens, with an optional miniatures set also available. #monlith #witcher #mtg #alienrpg Monolith’s Conan KIckstarter: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/monolithboardgames/conan-by-monolith-tales-of-tortage-and-zamora Monster Fight Club: www.monsterfightclub.com  Roll Big or Go Home Bundle: https://humblebundleinc.sjv.io/k49Mnd Doctor Who and Warhammer to Cthulhu, Transformers, and even My Little Pony!

  3. The Weekly Podcast no.340 – Vampire 5.5E, Valiant Mutants & Masterminds, Rise of the Lazy Dungeon master and Rpg Trader

    21 jun

    The Weekly Podcast no.340 – Vampire 5.5E, Valiant Mutants & Masterminds, Rise of the Lazy Dungeon master and Rpg Trader

    Vampire: The Masquerade is expanding its presence on D&D Beyond with a new 5.5E crossover product titled Bound by Blood, published by Ghostfire Gaming and featuring a new Kindred class and adventure. This move follows similar partnerships with other publishers, indicating a trend of rival games embracing the 5.5E ruleset. In a related shift, Renegade Games has announced it will discontinue its bespoke Essence20 system for new editions of its licensed properties like Transformers, GI Joe, and Power Rangers, transitioning instead to a modified version of Dungeons & Dragons 5.5E to reach a broader player base. Green Ronin Publishing has officially released Valiant Adventures, a new TTRPG setting supplement for the Mutants & Masterminds third edition system. Based on the Valiant Universe, a shared world featuring characters like Bloodshot and X-O Manowa, the release includes two main volumes: the Hero’s Handbook and the Worlds of Valiant sourcebook. These supplements provide updated combat mechanics, a new “Hero Point” economy, and extensive lore, allowing players to explore this gritty and morally complex comic universe without requiring additional source material. Award-winning designer Mike Shea, known as Sly Flourish, has announced Rise of the Lazy Gamemaster, a new 160-page resource designed to complement his previous Return of the Lazy Dungeon Master series. Unlike his earlier works that focused primarily on D&D 5E, this upcoming book will be system-agnostic, offering tools, tips, and adventure outlines adaptable to various systems including Shadowdark, Daggerheart, and Dragonbane. Shea aims to provide practical advice to speed up preparation and enhance interactivity, with a crowdfunding campaign for the project scheduled to launch in early July. The independent TTRPG market has a new competitor with the launch of RPG Trader, a marketplace created by Ten Acre Games founder Hugh Lashbrooke to support indie creators. Designed as a specific alternative to larger platforms like DriveThruRPG and Itch.io, RPG Trader focuses on discoverability and flexible publishing tools, offering creators an 80% share of sales revenue. The platform distinguishes itself with a zero-tolerance policy for AI-generated content, an integrated print-on-demand service through Lulu, and a detailed taxonomy system to help players find games based on specific play styles and themes. #vapirerpg #valiantcomics #lazydungeonmaster #rpgtrader Valiant Adventures for Mutans and Masterminds: https://www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/567952/valiant-adventures-worlds-of-valiant?affiliate_id=2081746 RPG Trader: https://rpg-trader.com/  Roll Big or Go Home Bundle: https://humblebundleinc.sjv.io/k49Mnd Doctor Who and Warhammer to Cthulhu, Transformers, and even My Little Pony!

  4. The Weekly Podcast no.339 – Paizo Layoffs, UK Game Expo Protests, WotC Senior AI Engineer and Infinity Suite for Traveller

    14 jun

    The Weekly Podcast no.339 – Paizo Layoffs, UK Game Expo Protests, WotC Senior AI Engineer and Infinity Suite for Traveller

    Paizo is undergoing significant restructuring following a nearly $2 million financial loss in 2025, largely attributed to the bankruptcy of its former distributor, Diamond Comic Distributors. To manage the fallout, the company is laying off 12 employees, scaling back its organized play initiatives, and pausing Foundry VTT support for Pathfinder Society modules. While Paizo transitions its distribution to the Independent Publishers Group and works to recover book channel sales, it continues to focus on direct-to-consumer sales via its updated webstore. The tabletop industry is grappling with the proliferation of generative AI, with tensions surfacing at the UK Games Expo 2026. Critics and attendees expressed deep disappointment over the convention’s lack of an official policy prohibiting AI-generated content, contrasting it with other conventions that have taken firm stances. In response, creators and vendors utilized “Human Made” signage on the convention floor as a grassroots effort to push back against the use of AI tools, which they argue diminish human creativity and threaten the livelihoods of freelancers and artists. Meanwhile, Wizards of the Coast is signaling a shift in its technological approach, posting a vacancy for a senior AI engineer to develop customer-facing features, including systems for tutorials and NPC behaviors. This move coincides with Hasbro’s launch of “Sixth Wall,” a new AI studio focused on licensing company IP characters like Optimus Prime and Mr. Potato Head for interactive experiences. By utilizing its “CharacterOS” platform and real voice actors, Hasbro aims to provide authorized, guardrail-protected versions of its characters to mitigate the spread of unauthorized AI-generated content using its intellectual property. In happier news for tabletop enthusiasts, Mongoose Publishing has released *The Infinity Suite*, a new 168-page campaign sourcebook for the *Traveller* RPG. The narrative centers on a band of interstellar rockstars who are heavily in debt and on the run from repo crews, forcing them to seek fame and inspiration across the Islands subsectors. The supplement introduces inventive mechanics to fit the rock ‘n’ roll theme, such as a Masterpiece System for song creation, a review system for music critics, Bass Battles, and Megastar Points to track the characters’ rise to fame. #paizo #ukgamesexpo #wotc #travellerrpg  Roll Big or Go Home Bundle: https://humblebundleinc.sjv.io/k49Mnd Doctor Who and Warhammer to Cthulhu, Transformers, and even My Little Pony!

    The Weekly Podcast no.338 – End of Fate, John Blanche Passes, TTRPG Crowdfunding and Unnumbered Worlds

    The Fate roleplaying game line, once the flagship system for Evil Hat Productions, may be nearing its end, highlighted by the release of the next game, Umdaar, as a PDF-only product. Since the record-breaking Fate Core crowdfunding campaign in 2013, the line has steadily declined to less than 5% of the company’s sales, replaced by Blades in the Dark and Monster of the Week as Evil Hat’s main sellers. Fate originated around 2000 as a hack of the Fudge RPG, developed by Evil Hat co-founders Fred Hicks and Rob Donoghue, who aimed for a system that modeled fiction rather than physics. Hicks sees the release of Umdaar as an experiment to determine Fate’s future in the 2020s, acknowledging its significant impact as a game from the previous decade. John Blanche, the legendary illustrator whose art defined the “grimdark” aesthetic of the Warhammer 40,000 setting, has died. Blanche was best known for iconic works, including his depiction of the Emperor on the Golden Throne, which he intended to show as a ceremonial facade for pilgrims rather than the “real” Emperor. He retired from Games Workshop in 2023 after an association beginning in the seventies, leaving behind an enormous legacy. Tributes from fans and writers confirmed his profound influence, stating that his art was the reason many became involved in Warhammer 40,000 and that he defined an entire sub-genre of SFF. TTRPG crowdfunding surged in Q1 2026, with the number of successful campaigns that raised $100,000 or more growing by 35% year-over-year. The 21 campaigns reaching this milestone collectively generated an estimated $8,058,431, about 25% more than Q1 2025. The period featured a major success with Pumpkin Spice -A Magical Cozy RPG, which reached over $1.5 million, and also saw the launch of highly anticipated projects like Numenera: The Amber Archive and Blades ’68. Notably, only six of the featured games used Fifth Edition mechanics, and Gates of Krystalia became the highest-funded TTRPG project to date whose creator admitted to using AI-generated images in the book. The Book of Unnumbered Worlds is a new Kickstarter campaign from Kevin Crawford of Sine Nomine Publishing known for the “Without Number” series. This project is a system-neutral sourcebook designed to aid Game Masters (GMs) in building fantasy worlds or fleshing out existing settings. It features organized frameworks and step-by-step procedures with tags and tables for creating elements like maps, nations, societies, and monsters, and does not reprint material from previous “Without Number” books. In a notable statement, the campaign explicitly guarantees that “All art, writing, and design in this book is entirely human-created and does not involve the use of AI”. #faterpg #johnblanche #crowdfunding #withoutnumber  Rascal News: https://www.rascal.news/with-the-release-of-umdaar-we-might-be-at-the-end-of-fate/ Book of Unnumbered Worlds Kickstarter: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/sinenomineinc/the-book-of-unnumbered-worlds Cyberpunk RED: Ready-to-Run Essentials Bundle: $33 https://humblebundleinc.sjv.io/rEOrdG Free League BundleRPG Collection: $27.50 https://humblebundleinc.sjv.io/zzrGdm The Book of Unnumbered Worlds: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/sinenomineinc/the-book-of-unnumbered-worlds Demonic Grimoire on Backkit: https://www.backerkit.com/c/projects/exalted-funeral/old-school-essentials-demonic-grimoire Hellblaster: Against the Cyberfiend: https://www.backerkit.com/c/projects/bloodstar-productions/hellblaster-against-the-cyberfiends Warmachine on MyMiniFactory: https://mmf.io/upturned Mantic Companion App: https://companion.manticgames.com/ Use our Referral code: MCTXEE Support Us by Shopping on DTRPG (afilliate link): https://www.drivethrurpg.com?affiliate_id=2081746 Matt’s DriveThruRPG Publications: https://www.drivethrurpg.com/browse.php?author=Matthew%20Robinson https://substack.com/@matthewrobinson3 Chris on social media: https://hyvemynd.itch.io/​​ Jeremy’s Links: http://www.abusecartoons.com/​​ http://www.rcharvey.com ​​Support Us on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/upturnedtable Give us a tip on our livestream: https://streamlabs.com/upturnedtabletop/tip​ Donate or give us  a tip on Paypal: https://www.paypal.com/ncp/payment/2754JZFW2QZU4 Intro song is “Chips” by KokoroNoMe https://kokoronome.bandcamp.com/

    The Weekly Podcast no.337 – The Boy King, Crows Playtest, Heresy Supreme and The Chaos Card Deck

    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. #pendragon #crowsrpg #morkborg #vengerdecks  Mork Borg: Heresy Supreme: https://store.steampowered.com/app/3216800/MRK_BORG_Heresy_Supreme/ https://www.morbidwaregames.com/ Pendragon Campaign: https://www.chaosium.com/blogpendragon-the-boy-king-the-epic-ttrpg-campaign-returns/ MCDM Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/mcdm Chaos Cards: https://thechaosttrpg.com/products/the-chaos-card-deck-tabletop-roleplaying-game Demonic Grimoire on Backkit: https://www.backerkit.com/c/projects/exalted-funeral/old-school-essentials-demonic-grimoire Hellblaster: Against the Cyberfiend: https://www.backerkit.com/c/projects/bloodstar-productions/hellblaster-against-the-cyberfiends Warmachine on MyMiniFactory: https://mmf.io/upturned Mantic Companion App: https://companion.manticgames.com/ Use our Referral code: MCTXEE Support Us by Shopping on DTRPG (afilliate link): https://www.drivethrurpg.com?affiliate_id=2081746 Matt’s DriveThruRPG Publications: https://www.drivethrurpg.com/browse.php?author=Matthew%20Robinson https://substack.com/@matthewrobinson3 Chris on social media: https://hyvemynd.itch.io/​​ Jeremy’s Links: http://www.abusecartoons.com/​​ http://www.rcharvey.com ​​Support Us on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/upturnedtable Give us a tip on our livestream: https://streamlabs.com/upturnedtabletop/tip​ Donate or give us  a tip on Paypal: https://www.paypal.com/ncp/payment/2754JZFW2QZU4 Intro song is “Chips” by KokoroNoMe https://kokoronome.bandcamp.com/

    The Weekly Podcast no.336 – Hasbro Uh Ohs, Worlds Beyond Brawl, Modiphius Sale, Dungeon Scrawl Maps and Free RPG Day 2026

    Hasbro recently cancelled a Dungeons and Dragons action game being developed by Giant Skull, the studio led by former Star Wars Jedi director Stig Asmussen, though Giant Skull is currently looking for a new publishing deal. Meanwhile, Hasbro CEO Chris Cocks has announced that more D&D crossover products are in the works, drawing inspiration from the success of Magic: The Gathering, and he described the upcoming space opera RPG Exodus as “D&D in space”. Separately, the United Wizards of the Coast union reported that WotC and Hasbro have hired a union avoidance firm and are conducting a daily anti-union campaign via email. Wizards of the Coast launched “Drops,” a new weekly and monthly feature providing content like maps, spells, and feats exclusively for D&D Beyond Hero and Master tier subscribers. While intended as a value-add, Drops content cannot be shared among campaign members using the Master tier subscription—the traditional core benefit of the service—and access is lost if a subscription is cancelled. D&D Beyond executives claim this restriction is a necessary tradeoff to ensure designers are paid, but this shift effectively encourages every player in a group to purchase a minimum Hero Tier subscription to access all player-facing material. Worlds Beyond Brawl is a campaign showcasing the One Page Rules Compatibility Program by offering over 500 3D printable models across 53 skirmish warbands from 18 miniature companies. All models are fully compatible with One Page Rules’ free games, Grimdark Future: Firefight and Age of Fantasy Skirmish, with custom stats provided on the Army Forge web app. The models are professionally supported and test-printed, available for personal use only, and are delivered to a user’s MyMiniFactory library upon pledging. Modiphius is running its “Press Start to Play” spring sale for the next 40 days, offering savings of up to 50% on a massive list of RPGs, board games, and accessories. The sale includes major titles such as Fallout: The Roleplaying Game, Star Trek Adventures 2E, and Dune: Adventures in the Imperium, as well as a large collection of Fallout miniatures. Recommended RPG highlights include Homeworld: Revelations, Infinity, and the pulp WWII title Achtung! Cthulhu. Dungeon Scrawl launched a free, instant, and browser-based map generator for TTRPGs that requires no installation or account. This easy-to-use mapmaking app is presented as a solution for Game Masters who need maps quickly during a session or a starting point for a new project. The feature uses procedural generation (not AI) to instantly create fully explorable, gridded dungeon maps. Users can customize the results by adjusting input criteria such as overall map size, layout style, room count, room size and shape, and corridor length and width.Every map generated is fully editable. Finished maps can be exported for use on any Virtual Tabletop (VTT), or they can be printed or broadcast to a TV/monitor using the “Send to Tabletop” tool for in-person games. The Random Dungeons feature is currently available in beta. Free RPG Day 2026 will take place on June 27th, featuring 30 unique tabletop RPG publishers and accessory makers who will provide free modules, quick start guides, and accessories to participating Friendly Local Game Stores. Publishers participating this year include Paizo (with a Pathfinder 2E and Starfinder 2E adventure), Chaosium, Darrington Press (with a Daggerheart adventure), and Marvel (with a Multiverse RPG preview). The goal is to raise awareness of the TTRPG hobby, and customers are advised to use the official store locator and show up early due to limited inventory. #wotc #myminifactory #modiphius #dungeonscrawl #freerpgday2026 Modiphius Sale: https://modiphius.net/collections/pressstartsale Dungeon Scrawl: https://app.dungeonscrawl.com/ Free RPG Day 2026: https://freerpgday.com/ Demonic Grimoire on Backkit: https://www.backerkit.com/c/projects/exalted-funeral/old-school-essentials-demonic-grimoire Hellblaster: Against the Cyberfiend: https://www.backerkit.com/c/projects/bloodstar-productions/hellblaster-against-the-cyberfiends Warmachine on MyMiniFactory: https://mmf.io/upturned Mantic Companion App: https://companion.manticgames.com/ Use our Referral code: MCTXEE Support Us by Shopping on DTRPG (afilliate link): https://www.drivethrurpg.com?affiliate_id=2081746 Matt’s DriveThruRPG Publications: https://www.drivethrurpg.com/browse.php?author=Matthew%20Robinson https://substack.com/@matthewrobinson3 Chris on social media: https://hyvemynd.itch.io/​​ Jeremy’s Links: http://www.abusecartoons.com/​​ http://www.rcharvey.com ​​Support Us on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/upturnedtable Give us a tip on our livestream: https://streamlabs.com/upturnedtabletop/tip​ Donate or give us  a tip on Paypal: https://www.paypal.com/ncp/payment/2754JZFW2QZU4 Intro song is “Chips” by KokoroNoMe https://kokoronome.bandcamp.com/

    The Weekly Podcast no.335 – New Blades in the Dark, Magic Debacle, Neon Odyssey, Demonic Grimoire and HELLBLASTER

    Requiem for the Wretched Dead, a new survival RPG by John Harper set in the Deathlands of the Blades in the Dark universe, which utilizes the Breathless SRD rules. This announcement notably coincided with an outpouring of TTRPG community support that helped fund the creator of Breathless: Frightmare Edition after they had initially worried about an unsatisfying outcome, illustrating the special nature of the TTRPG community. The reprint of The One Ring card for Magic: The Gathering’s crossover with The Hobbit. Veteran artist Donato Giancola accused Wizards of the Coast of reusing and modifying the earlier borderless art by Marta Nael, rather than commissioning a new, original piece from credited artist Dan Frazier. Both Frazier and Wizards of the Coast later confirmed that Nael’s work was unintentionally used as a reference that Frazier painted over. Wizards apologized, acknowledging failures in their internal review process, and promised to update digital versions to credit both artists and ensure Marta Nael is compensated. The Neon Odyssey is a highly successful Kickstarter campaign by Legends of Avantris, which has massively exceeded its funding goal to become a 1,400+ page Space Opera trilogy for Dungeons & Dragons 5.5e. Inspired by retro sci-fi films and video games, the project introduces the Stardust Rhapsody campaign setting across three books: the Outrunner’s Handbook, Cosmic Codex, and the Overdrive Expansion. Key features include a new Machinist class, sci-fi class skins for all core 5.5e classes, a dedicated Starfighting System for space combat, over 30 space-faring species, and a 52-Card Cosmic Oracle Deck. Demonic Grimoire serves as the central book for “OSE Month 2026,” a group-collaboration project spearheaded by Exalted Funeral and Necrotic Gnome. The month-long event centers on the theme of “DEMONS” and features a new 176-page book for Old-School Essentials (OSE), a TTRPG inspired by classic games of the 1970s and 1980s. This core book will introduce hordes of new monsters, adventures set in the realms of hell, and fiendish character options, alongside sister projects from 16 other renowned creators in the OSE community. HELLBLASTER: Against the Cyberfiends is a highly funded component of OSE Month by Bloodstar Productions. This Old-School Essentials module for high-level characters blends classic science-fantasy with ’90s occult-industrial aesthetics. The module’s premise is a crashed starship that vomits corruption into a sword-and-sorcery world, forcing adventurers to confront cyborg demons and alien tech. Players must contend with three rival factions—The Doombringers, The Cult of Pleasure, and The Machine Collective—and can seize supercharged weapons, powered armor, and mechanized melee weapons to fight back against the hellish forces. #bladesinthedark #neonodyssey #ose #hellblaster Demonic Grimoire on Backkit: https://www.backerkit.com/c/projects/exalted-funeral/old-school-essentials-demonic-grimoire Hellblaster: Against the Cyberfiend: https://www.backerkit.com/c/projects/bloodstar-productions/hellblaster-against-the-cyberfiends Neon Odyssey\ https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/legendsofavantris/neon-odyssey Dune Bundles: Physical – https://humblebundleinc.sjv.io/1G1KE9 Digital – https://humblebundleinc.sjv.io/WO4PBA Warmachine on MyMiniFactory: https://mmf.io/upturned Mantic Companion App: https://companion.manticgames.com/ Use our Referral code: MCTXEE Support Us by Shopping on DTRPG (afilliate link): https://www.drivethrurpg.com?affiliate_id=2081746 Matt’s DriveThruRPG Publications: https://www.drivethrurpg.com/browse.php?author=Matthew%20Robinson https://substack.com/@matthewrobinson3 Chris on social media: https://hyvemynd.itch.io/​​ Jeremy’s Links: http://www.abusecartoons.com/​​ http://www.rcharvey.com ​​Support Us on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/upturnedtable Give us a tip on our livestream: https://streamlabs.com/upturnedtabletop/tip​ Donate or give us  a tip on Paypal: https://www.paypal.com/ncp/payment/2754JZFW2QZU4 Intro song is “Chips” by KokoroNoMe https://kokoronome.bandcamp.com/

    The Weekly Podcast no.334 – Fresh Blood, Allies and Adversaries, Zombie Clot and Orphans & Straight Arrows

    Pinnacle Entertainment Group is launching a Kickstarter campaign on Tuesday, May 5th, 2026, for East Texas University: Fresh Blood, a fully updated edition of their cult-favorite college horror setting for the Savage Worlds roleplaying game. The game, set in Pinebox, Texas, blends campus life with supernatural horror, challenging players to balance their academic lives with survival against strange and deadly forces. The new edition updates the fan-favorite setting for the latest Savage Worlds Adventure Edition and introduces a brand-new Plot Point Campaign that carries players through their entire college career. The campaign features a 228-page core book, the Chickens in the Mist graphic novel, and an accessories box. Modiphius Entertainment announced the upcoming release of the Star Trek Adventures 2E: Allies and Adversaries Sourcebook, slated for July 2026. This 128-page, full-color supplement for the Star Trek Adventures RPG is geared primarily toward Gamemasters and offers new lore and mechanics for the various factions and NPCs in the Star Trek Universe. The book provides detailed background information on major powers, including the Borg, Cardassians, Dominion, Klingon Empire, Romulans, and Tholians. Additionally, it expands on NPC content with new stat blocks and includes rules and guidance for creating original creatures. The physical hardcover version will retail for $54 USD. Wizards of the Coast (WotC) has launched a new official Actual Play show called Dungeon Masters, starring Jasmine Bhullar as the Dungeon Master. Alongside the show, WotC is releasing free Play-Along Packs, which are standalone encounters designed for home games and include early access to a monster from Ravenloft: The Horrors Within. The first pack, “Zombie Clot,” features a fight in the village of Hroth, where a grieving doctor has unleashed undead horrors. This pack provides stats for the Swarm of Zombie Limbs and the Zombie Clot, which is described as a putrid mass of rotten flesh with a singular will. Two new softcover adventures for the Mothership Sci-Fi Horror RPG are now available: Orphans and Straight Arrows. Orphans by Tuesday Knight Games is a one-shot starter adventure that is highly-regarded as an excellent introduction to the system. In it, player characters (PCs) are a corporate retrieval team sent to Imuen Station to find two missing children, who are being protected by “AUNTIE,” a terrifying creature made of moss and bones. Straight Arrows by RAC Computing is a 36-page campaign setting where the PCs are bounty hunters for the insidious Arrow Biomed corporation, performing extrajudicial abductions of privileged addicts. This module focuses on a gritty, dystopian corporate horror vibe and incorporates social issues like drug crime and a tiered healthcare system. #dungeonmasters #stal #eturpg #mothership East Texas University: Fresh Blood: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/545820095/east-texas-university-fresh-blood-savage-worlds D&D Beyond Play Along Pack: https://www.dndbeyond.com/claim/source/dungeon-masters-zombie-clot-play-along-pack Orphans: https://www.tuesdayknightgames.com/products/orphans Straight Arrows: https://www.tuesdayknightgames.com/products/straight-arrows Dune Bundles: Physical – https://humblebundleinc.sjv.io/1G1KE9 Digital – https://humblebundleinc.sjv.io/WO4PBA Warmachine on MyMiniFactory: https://mmf.io/upturned Mantic Companion App: https://companion.manticgames.com/ Use our Referral code: MCTXEE Support Us by Shopping on DTRPG (afilliate link): https://www.drivethrurpg.com?affiliate_id=2081746 Matt’s DriveThruRPG Publications: https://www.drivethrurpg.com/browse.php?author=Matthew%20Robinson https://substack.com/@matthewrobinson3 Chris on social media: https://hyvemynd.itch.io/​​ Jeremy’s Links: http://www.abusecartoons.com/​​ http://www.rcharvey.com ​​Support Us on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/upturnedtable Give us a tip on our livestream: https://streamlabs.com/upturnedtabletop/tip​ Donate or give us  a tip on Paypal: https://www.paypal.com/ncp/payment/2754JZFW2QZU4 Intro song is “Chips” by KokoroNoMe https://kokoronome.bandcamp.com/

    The Weekly Podcast no.333 – 13 Omens, Dungeon Crawler Carl, CTHULHU Returns and Symbaroum Turns 10

    Paizo, which has focused exclusively on Pathfinder and Starfinder for the past 25 years, is launching a new rules-lite, modern, supernatural horror TTRPG called 13 Omens. The game is designed by Paizo veterans Jason Bulmahn and Joe Pasini, and it is set in a dark reflection of our world beset by horrifying specters, bloodthirsty killers, and cursed places. Although few mechanical details are currently available, the description of it being “rules-lite” suggests the game will not use the Pathfinder 2E system as a base. The Dungeon Crawler Carl TTRPG from Renegade Game Studios is making history by becoming the most-followed TTRPG launch in crowdfunding, raising over $5.3 million in its first 24 hours on BackerKit. The game adapts the popular LitRPG novel series by Matt Dinniman, which chronicles the adventures of Carl and his sapient cat, Princess Donut, as they are forced to compete in a hyper-violent, 18-level World Dungeon broadcast to an intergalactic audience. The TTRPG uses a skill-based D20 system where players can choose from over 30 species and unique classes like Shotgun Messenger, and players roll all the dice while the Gamemaster takes on the role of the System AI. Cthulhu, the terrifying entity created by H.P. Lovecraft, is officially entering the Dungeons & Dragons multiverse via the upcoming 5.5e supplement, Ravenloft: The Horrors Within, which is set for release in June. The ultimate eldritch monster will be a Darklord for a new Domain of Dread known as Innsmouth and will receive a complete stat block, lore, and associated magic items. While Cthulhu was briefly included in the 1980 AD\&D *Deities & Demigods* supplement before being removed due to a copyright dispute, this release marks his triumphant, official return to core D\&D content. Free League Publishing is marking the 10th anniversary of its dark fantasy RPG Symbaroum with a new Kickstarter launching on May 19th. The campaign will feature a revised core rulebook set, which reorganizes the original content into three books, alongside a brand new campaign setting called City States of Vendilyn – A Ravaged Realm. The new setting details a realm devastated by the malevolent elves of Duskwood. Symbaroum is known for its gritty and deadly gameplay that uses a D20 roll-under core mechanic. #13omens #dungeoncrawlercarl #cthulhu #symbaroum  Paizo 13 Omens Mailing List: https://r2.dotdigital-pages.com/p/4XTJ-ACS/13-omens-news Dune Bundles: Physical – https://humblebundleinc.sjv.io/1G1KE9 Digital – https://humblebundleinc.sjv.io/WO4PBA Warmachine on MyMiniFactory: https://mmf.io/upturned Mantic Companion App: https://companion.manticgames.com/ Use our Referral code: MCTXEE Support Us by Shopping on DTRPG (afilliate link): https://www.drivethrurpg.com?affiliate_id=2081746 Matt’s DriveThruRPG Publications: https://www.drivethrurpg.com/browse.php?author=Matthew%20Robinson https://substack.com/@matthewrobinson3 Chris on social media: https://hyvemynd.itch.io/​​ Jeremy’s Links: http://www.abusecartoons.com/​​ http://www.rcharvey.com ​​Support Us on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/upturnedtable Give us a tip on our livestream: https://streamlabs.com/upturnedtabletop/tip​ Donate or give us  a tip on Paypal: https://www.paypal.com/ncp/payment/2754JZFW2QZU4 Intro song is “Chips” by KokoroNoMe https://kokoronome.bandcamp.com/
