Fallen London: The Roleplaying Game is an officially licensed tabletop RPG set in the eerie, gothic world of Fallen London, a subterranean Victorian city filled with intrigue, immortality, and eldritch horrors. Developed by Magpie Games using the Ædana System, the game allows players to create unique characters and form a “concern”—a group bound by a shared grand ambition, such as overthrowing the Masters, uncovering hidden secrets, or reshaping the world itself. The game introduces a dynamic system of opportunities, leads, and ventures, encouraging player-driven narratives filled with uncertainty and tension. With a rich setting inspired by the original browser game and its spin-offs, players will navigate a world where death is often temporary, devils barter for souls, and reality itself is mutable. Using a dice-based challenge system and mechanics like Menaces and Obsessions, the RPG ensures high-stakes storytelling where characters must balance their desires against the dangers of the Neath.

Cubicle 7’s upcoming Warhammer: The Old World RPG, set in the year 2276 IC, explores the Old World continent 250 years before Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay (WFRP)’s familiar Karl-Franz era. The game will use a d10 dice pool system with no hit points/Wounds and will emphasize “ordinary citizens” as player characters, including Bretonnians and unusual races. The setting focuses on Taalagad near Talabheim, featuring a weaker, more secretive Chaos presence. Designed as a more accessible introduction to Warhammer RPGs, it will launch with a Players Guide, GMs Guide, Starter Set, and expansions. While it won’t replace WFRP, it introduces a sandbox-style enemy organization system to enhance world-building. Fans anticipate further details as the summer release approaches.

The Fighting Fantasy solo adventure gamebooks, originally created by Ian Livingstone and Steve Jackson in 1982, are returning to print in the U.S. for the first time in over 20 years through a collaboration with Steve Jackson Games. These classic gamebooks blend storytelling with RPG mechanics, allowing readers to make choices that shape their adventure. The initial re-release includes five popular titles—The Warlock of Firetop Mountain, Deathtrap Dungeon, City of Thieves, The Citadel of Chaos, and The Forest of Doom—featuring original artwork and improved formatting for readability. A Kickstarter campaign has far surpassed its funding goal, offering pledge options for individual books, full sets, and retailer packages, with shipping planned for June. Fans can also access add-ons like the Choose Cthulhu gamebooks and The Fantasy Trip RPG.

Roll20 has integrated Dungeon Scrawl, a free and easy-to-use mapmaking tool, directly into its virtual tabletop (VTT), making map creation faster and more convenient for Dungeon Masters. With this new feature, users can quickly design dungeons, taverns, or other maps and seamlessly import them into Roll20’s latest Jumpgate version. Dungeon Scrawl offers features like isometric maps, PDF export, and customizable grids, with additional perks for pro-subscribers, such as Dark Mode and Commercial Use Licensing. This integration streamlines mapmaking, allowing DMs to focus more on storytelling and gameplay rather than technical setup.

“Mutant Chronicles: Luna City Blues” is an upcoming tabletop RPG that revives the classic Mutant Chronicles IP. It takes place in a dystopian setting on the moon’s colony, Luna City, known for crime and corruption. The game focuses on detective-based adventures and mysteries. Designers Mikael Bergström and Gabrielle de Bourg, along with licenser Necromakina, are modernizing the rules and mechanics while still paying homage to the original game. The crowdfunding project will launch on Kickstarter in 2024.

Indianapolis Metropolitan Police recovered around $300,000 worth of stolen Magic: The Gathering cards from Gen Con 2023. Two designers, Thomas J. Dunbar and Andrew Pearson Giaume, were identified as persons of interest in the theft. The stolen cards were taken from the convention center, and New York State Police assisted in their recovery. Users on BoardGameGeek responded with mixed reactions, review-bombing the designers’ board game while others countered with positive ratings.

Magic: The Gathering (MTG) is renaming the “Tribal” mechanic after 30 years. The term “Typal” will replace “Tribal” due to concerns about negative connotations associated with the latter. This change aims to maintain a positive public image for the game’s developer, Wizards of the Coast. Players can choose whether to adopt the new terminology.

“Eat the Reich” is a gory RPG created by Grant Howitt and comics illustrator Will Kirkby. Players take on the roles of vampire commandos during World War II, fighting against Nazi soldiers. The game offers a unique and gruesome adventure, allowing players to embody various types of vampires with distinct abilities. The game uses the Havoc System to resolve conflicts using six-sided dice. The Kickstarter campaign for “Eat the Reich” runs through September 14th, offering both physical and digital editions, with an Alchemy VTT digital version also included. #lunacityblues #eaththereich #mtg
