The “Household Bundle” offers English-language PDFs of the tabletop RPG “Household” by Riccardo Sirignano and Simone Formicola from Two Little Mice. Set in a wainscot fantasy world reminiscent of 19th-century Europe, players, as littlings (miniature folk), navigate political and social upheavals in a large abandoned house over five years following the First Household War. For $14.95, buyers receive the core rulebook, a practical guide on navigating the world, and a campaign sourcebook titled “A Saga of the Fragile Peace,” all available as DRM-free ebooks. Additionally, Two Little Mice will soon launch a new expansion, “Welcome to the Garden.”

Modiphius has announced the release of a new “2nd Edition Star Trek Adventures Starter Set,” launching in December 2024. The set includes everything new players need to begin exploring the Star Trek universe, such as a condensed rulebook, a 60-page sandbox campaign, reference sheets, dice, and tokens, retailing at $31.12.

Corvus Belli announced a delay of the new N5 Infinity ruleset release until December 2024, initially slated for November. The update was communicated via social media platforms, leaving fans disappointed but hopeful that the issue would soon be resolved. Pre-orders for “Operation Sandtrap,” a related set including starter forces and a play mat, continue to be available.

Concerns loom over potential tariffs proposed by the incoming Trump administration, which could severely impact the tabletop gaming industry. Experts fear tariffs on non-US goods (20%) and particularly harsh tariffs on Chinese imports (60-100%) would significantly raise production costs, potentially leading to increased prices, financial strain, and possible closures of game retailers and manufacturers. While some companies are preparing contingency plans, there remains hope that these tariffs may not be implemented or could be mitigated through industry adaptation and resilience.

We just have one topic today – KICKSTARTERS

A few examples of current crowdfunding campaigns. Warzone Eternal by Res Nova, Blade Runner by Free League and Household RPG by 2LM and CMON. We discussing generally what is good about the platform and how this recent boom may be drawing attention away from small projects that need Kickstarter attention the most.

My guest host this week is Matt Robinson.

An English edition of the Household TTRPG design by Italian studio 2LM Press is being released by CMON who recently purchased the studio. The setting involves playing Littlings, small creatures like Faeries and Boggarts that originated in European folklore.

Some disturbing information has come out concerning the creator of the Empire of the Petal Throne and the Tekumel setting, one of the earliest roleplaying settings that wasn’t Dungeons and Dragons. It was discovered that Professor M.A.R. Barker wrote Serpent’s Walk , an anti-Semitic novel that was published under a pseudonym in 1991. What does the mean for the future of the setting and the Tekumel Foundation?

Late to the game as they were with the popularity of X-wing, WhizKids is producing a skirmish boardgame based on Dungeons and Dragons. The game designer, Nicholas Yu, revealed on Twitter that he is working on D&D: Onslaught. The game was shown off at GAMA and will feature a Combat Dial system to track stats.
