Noble Knight Games

VOR the maelstrom: Into the Maelstrom by Loren L. Coleman Chapter 01 The world's two superpowers are at war -- when suddenly even nuclear annihilation becomes unimportant. For, without warning, the Earth is ripped from orbit, torn from the entire universe, by an insatiable, planet-destroying cosmic vortex. Now both sides -- along with everyone else on the globe -- are trapped in the grotesque parody of reality called the Maelstrom. Exploring the concepts and expanding the background of the VOR the Maelstrom wargame by FASA Games, this novel takes readers and gamers to the beginning: when armies of the near future face the horrors of the battlefield and gut-wrenching alien terrors they cannot escape as they are drawn...

  Dragon Kings by Strange Owl Games is created by original Dark Sun designers, including Timothy Brown and Brom, this project serves as a spiritual successor to the classic Dark Sun setting. It is designed to be system-agnostic while offering 5th Edition compatibility and 2E conversion rules. The crowdfunding campaign is set to begin on BackerKit on September 22, 2026, offering fans a fresh, desperate, and dangerous world that aims to capture the spirit of the original 1990s experience. Tuesday Knight Games has announced its third annual “Mothership Month,” scheduled for November 2026. Moving away from its traditional large-scale crowdfunding model, the event is pivoting to prioritize community support and creator relief. The company introduced three new initiatives: the Jump-9 Writers Grant to fund new talent, the “Warden’s Club” to reward storytellers for public games, and “Mothership Select,” an award program for exceptional third-party zines. This shift is intended to alleviate “crowdfunding fatigue” and focus on strengthening the existing creator ecosystem rather than overwhelming fans with new product launches. Dungeons & Dragons is also expanding with two new reveals. Dungeons & Dragons: Warlock, a AAA title from Invoke Studios set in the crumbling Ravenloft domain of Darkon, showcased its first gameplay footage featuring a look at the “Raw Magic” system. Additionally, the developers announced Dungeons & Dragons: Long Rest Tavern, a cozy simulation game where players manage a tavern for adventurers, crafting menus and upgrading their establishment while interacting with legendary heroes. Both titles are scheduled for release in 2027. Kenzer & Company is celebrating the 25th anniversary of HackMaster with a new, premium leather-bound edition. This “HackMaster XXV” release promises a comprehensive update to the classic RPG, featuring revamped mechanics, better-balanced abilities, new social engagement rules, and an expanded spell system, all while maintaining the game’s reputation for grit and tactical complexity. Beyond these feature updates, the document includes a variety of links to current TTRPG bundle offers and resources for fans to support the creators and platforms behind these publications.  #dragonkings #mothership #warlock #hackmasterrpg Dragon Kings Pre-launch on Backerkit: https://www.backerkit.com/c/projects/strange-owl-games/dragon-kings/pre-launch HackMaster 25th Anniversary Edition on Kickstarter: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/kenzerco/hackmaster-25th-anniversary-edition-a-fantasy-rpg Warmachine Lore Bundle: https://humblebundleinc.sjv.io/MKYoDJ The Dying Earth RPG Collection: https://humblebundleinc.sjv.io/m4krXe Batteltech PRG Bundle Encore: https://humblebundleinc.sjv.io/9VBLr4 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/

  The TTRPG industry has seen a notable shift in how crowdfunding campaigns reach the million-dollar milestone, moving away from simple book sales toward becoming “pop-up merchandising storefronts.” Campaigns like Deathbringer illustrate this strategy, where high-ticket add-ons such as custom dice, playmats, statuettes, and even denim jackets significantly boost the average pledge level. While these massive funding totals capture attention, experts note that profitability often relies on these high-margin items to offset the costs of advertising and production, while raising questions about the logistical challenges of fulfilling such complex pledges. A tribute to the late legendary artist John Blanche. Organized by Secret Passages, this initiative invites artists and writers to contribute to a standalone 40+ page zine that celebrates Blanche’s five-decade career. This collection of original essays, interviews, and artwork aims to capture the spirit of his influence on the gaming community and will be available alongside the upcoming Secret Passages Issue 4 in Autumn 2026. Magnagothica: Maleghast, a collaboration between Tom Bloom and Taiga Miniatures. This campaign focuses on bringing the heavy metal-inspired wargame to life with official 30mm miniatures. With a goal of US$6,666, the project has already seen significant success, raising over US$78,000 by late August 2026. The campaign offers a range of options, including physical resin models and STL files for at-home printing, targeting an early 2027 delivery for backers. MCDM Productions is promoting Crows: Fortune or Death, a new survival horror RPG that emphasizes high-stakes dungeon crawling and resource management. Built for challenging gameplay where players must survive on wits rather than stats, the game features mechanics like “Dungeon Turns” and robust inventory management via cards. The campaign also introduces a town-building aspect, where players invest loot to improve their home base, creating a lasting legacy for future adventurers while offering backers various tiers that include starter sets, rulebooks, and specialized equipment decks. #johnblanche #malegothicamaleghast #OSE2026 #crowsrpg https://www.backerkit.com/c/projects/mugen-gaming/sword-world/pre-launch Batteltech PRG Bundle Encore: https://humblebundleinc.sjv.io/9VBLr4 Secret Passage Zine John Blanche Tribute Page: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/jdhoare/secret-passages-4-an-old-school-rpg-and-oldhammer-magazine Magnagothica: Maleghast – STL & physical resin miniatures Kickstarter: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/taigaminiatures/magnagothica-maleghast-miniatures Crows: Fortune or Death: https://www.backerkit.com/c/projects/mcdm-productions/crows-fortune-or-death Playtest here: https://mcdm.gg/crowsplaytest 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/
