Home, Upturned Table -- Tabletop Everything From Everywhere

The Weekly LIVE 358 - Sword World, WotC Declines, 3 for OSR and Goodman Games 25th $Group SNE and Mugen Gaming are running a major crowdfunding campaign to fund the official full-English localization and release of Japan's iconic 2d6 tabletop RPG, Sword World 2.5. The campaign covers the localization and printing of core rulebooks, accessory card packs, starter sets, dice, and digital compendiums across multiple platforms including Roll20, Foundry, and the new Sword World Nexus digital portal. United Wizards of the Coast–CWA announced that Wizards of the Coast has declined to voluntarily recognize union units representing D&D and Studio X staff ahead of a formal vote. While WotC management stated they prefer direct collaboration and plan to vote against unionization, they committed to respecting the election outcomes administered by the National Labor Relations Board. Union organizers are seeking protections regarding generative AI, fair wages, layoff security, and personal IP rights. Three major OSR projects have surfaced, highlighted by David "Zeb" Cook's mythical adventure The Afterlife of King Neiren under Necromancer Games. Additionally, Luke Gygax and Gooey Cube launched The Temple of Inquinatious Evil, a 500-page homage to The Temple of Elemental Evil supporting multiple systems, while Advanced Fantasy Games successfully funded The Cradle of Skulls, a classic dungeon crawl designed for OSRIC and 1E AD&D. More than two decades ago, Goodman Games launched Dungeon Crawl Classics #1: Idylls of the Rat King. Today, Goodman Games celebrates 25 years in business.This crowdfunding offers the fantastic dice, dungeon crawls, and deals you expect from Goodman Games: "Old School from the Start", the definitive history of Goodman Games, written by Stu Horvath. A new art book showcasing over two decades worth of fantastic images! No pesky rules in this one, just gorgeous art to marvel at! A NEW soul-searing adventure from Harley Stroh. This one's so wild it could only be called Taste the Blood of Sezrekan! A new printing of the core rulebook with never-before-seen cover art. A new glittering die, the d25, in a custom wooden display case! And much, much more! #swordworld #wotc #osr #goodmangames Sword World on Backerkit: https://www.backerkit.com/c/projects/mugen-gaming/sword-world Zeb Cook's The Afterlife of King Neiren: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/necromancergames/zeb-cooks-the-afterlife-of-king-neiren The Temple of Inquinatious Evil — A TTRPG Adventure on Backerkit: https://www.backerkit.com/c/projects/gooey-cube/the-temple-of-inquinatious-evil-a-ttrpg-adventure The Cradle of Skulls in OSRIC for OSR on Kickstarter: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/advancedfantasygames/the-cradle-of-skulls-for-osric-1e-classic-fantasy-rpgs Goodman Games 25th on Backerkit: https://www.backerkit.com/c/projects/goodman-games/goodman-games-25th-anniversary-celebration Castles and Crusades Humble Bundle: https://humblebundleinc.sjv.io/m43mE7 13 Omens Kickstarter: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/officialpaizo/13-omens-a-horror-rpg 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/$

From the Necrotic Gnome website:

Old-School Essentials is an award-winning role-playing game of fantastic adventure, monsters, and magic. Players delve into forbidden crypts and forsaken ruins, explore haunted forests and perilous mountain ranges, sail the high seas in search of lost lands, recover fabulous treasures and uncover secrets of ancient magic.

Light, easily modified rules put the focus of play on shared imagination, improvisation, and fun. Modern formatting and layout make the game easy to learn and easy to reference during play. Durable, deluxe quality hardcover books are filled with evocative, old-school art. What's more, Old-School Essentials is 100% compatible with the classic Basic/Expert game from 1981, meaning that decades of adventure are at your fingertips!

$Paizo Inc. has announced 13 Omens, a story-focused horror tabletop roleplaying game structured like a horror movie across three acts and a prologue. Designed for single-session play with self-contained archetypes, the game uses a shared dice bag mechanic where Host players add Omen Dice to increase tension and risk as the narrative unfolds. Production will begin after its Kickstarter campaign, with fulfillment expected in May 2027. Agamemnon Press is adapting its Ennie-award-winning surreal acid-punk setting, Painted Wastelands, from Old School Essentials (OSE) to D&D 5.5e on Backerkit. Created in collaboration between writer Christopher Willett and artist Tim Molloy, the updated line includes a 100+ page Adventurer’s Handbook and a revamped Campaign Guide featuring new subclasses, species, spells, and NPC patrons, while maintaining ongoing support for OSE. Corvus Belli is expanding its fantasy tabletop wargame, Warcrow, with a brand-new army known as the Red Caps, scheduled for release on October 22, 2026. Led by General Nuada and his elf advisor Anayram, these volatile, impish creatures bring unique units like Bugbowls, Choppers, and Flamecobs to the game. Pre-orders feature box sets, a starter bundle, and compatibility with the companion board game, Warcrow Adventures. Long-running tabletop news and forum platform EN World has been experiencing massive traffic spikes and temporary outages due to overwhelming swarms of aggressive AI web-scraping bots. Founder Russ Morrissey reported bot numbers reaching nearly 200,000 at peak times, forcing brief access restrictions to protect server hardware and software processing limits while long-term mitigation strategies are evaluated. ens #paintedwastelands #warcrow #enworld 13 Omens Kickstarter: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/officialpaizo/13-omens-a-horror-rpg Painted Wasteland 5E on Backerkit: https://www.backerkit.com/c/projects/agamemnon-press/the-painted-wastelands-5-5e Red Caps for Warcrow Preorder: https://warcrow.com/en/games/warcrow/nation/red-caps 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/ (https://hyvemynd.itch.io/%E2%80%8B%E2%80%8B) Jeremy’s Links: http://www.abusecartoons.com/ (http://www.abusecartoons.com/%E2%80%8B%E2%80%8B) 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 (https://streamlabs.com/upturnedtabletop/tip%E2%80%8B) 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/$
