The Weekly LIVE 214 – Games Workshop Sells Out, Nightshade Poisons AI, Lost Mountain Saga Pre-Order and Roll20 Humble Bundle

Posted on by upturnedtable_sx8obi

Games Workshop has made significant changes to how local game stores can order new releases. They have moved to a two-week pre-order system, and stores must wait for GW’s approval before knowing what they can purchase. This has caused challenges for stores trying to order GW products. The recent ordering issues with Games Workshop’s ordering system include delayed orders and issues with pre-ordering directly from the GW website.

Games Workshop Sells Out, Nightshade Poisons AI, Lost Mountain Saga Pre-Order and Roll20 Humble Bundle

Researchers at the University of Chicago have developed a tool called “Nightshade” that can poison AI models by subtly altering images at the pixel level. This can cause AI models to misinterpret or hallucinate images. The tool is intended to protect artists’ work from being used without permission to train AI models.

Lost Mountain Saga for Vaesen is available for pre-order on the Free League webstore. This is an epic campaign for the Vaesen Nordic Horror Roleplaying game, consisting of five mysteries set in 19th-century Sweden. It involves ancient mysteries, Nordic folklore, and unspeakable horrors. The eerie adventure campaign is based on the popular podcast The Lost Mountain Saga that was written, produced and edited by actor and podcaster Ellinor DiLorenzo. The podcast reached more than 200,000 listeners during its limited run of two seasons in which Ellinor DiLorenzo acted Gamemaster for her fellow actors Anne Richmond and Sydney Amanuel as the party ventured into the Mythic North.

Humble Bundle exclusively offers the Everything for Your Adventures Bundle. This offering features digital assets and resources for playing tabletop roleplaying games on the Roll20 platform. It includes various resources, such as rulebooks, adventures, maps, and more for different RPG systems. Support for Extra Life: A portion of the Humble Bundle’s cost goes to Extra Life, a nonprofit organization dedicated to helping sick and injured children in the US.

The Weekly LIVE 151 – GenCon 2022 Harrassment, Spice Dao Sells, Dragonbane RPG, Warmachine MkIV and Wicked Ones Offset Print Kickstarter

Posted on by upturnedtable_sx8obi

Reports from GenCon 2022 of harassment of PoC and LGBTQ+ attendees lead people to think that personal info had been leaked by organizers. The harassing messages were in the form of text messages and phone calls. GenCon stated that they only contact attendees by e-mail. This is an unfortunate situation after having the convention canceled two years in a row due to the pandemic.

SpiceDAO, the crypto fan group that purchased a copy of the Jodorowsky’s Dune production bible for a ridiculous amount of money, is no more. Spice Club is the new and much poorer iteration. They are looking for a buyer for the book and are making NFTs with Frank Miller. None of this makes any damn sense.

Dragons and Demons (Drakar och Demoner) is finally being released in English by Free League. This is just in time for the 40th anniversary of its first appearance in Sweden. It will be called Dragonbane and the project will be on Kickstarter. The announcement also hinted at an updated version of the rules. Now we know what happened to the rights with the IP sale that RiotMinds recently announced. Better late than never?

Privateer Press is bringing us a new version of Warmachine. Warmachine MkIV will also fold in the Hordes setting as well. It will feature and streamlining of the rules set and new miniatures. The miniatures will be 3D printed in-house, possibly SioCast, which may help the international market. If and when they set up foreign production. Are you excited for a miniatures game that only existed because Games Workshop was so incompetent? Or will is all forgiven for their distribution problems with MkIII? And last, but not least,

Wicked Ones is returning to Kickstarter for an off-set printed edition and new standalone expansion called Undead Awakening. The game uses the Forged in the Dark system and features excellent artwork. We hope to soon get an interview with Ben Nielson from Bandit Camp about the project and the origin of this popular game. And for once we will be in the same time zone, because Bandit Camp is also based in Japan! #gencon #wickedones #warmachine #dragonbane

The Weekly LIVE 117 – TSR is Back, Cortex Prime OGL, Vaesen Expansion, US Ports, 2000AD License and Forged in the Dark Bundle

Posted on by upturnedtable_sx8obi

TSR is back! Again? Which one? They have started an IndieGoGo campaign to assist them in suing Wizards of the Coast for libel and slander, mostly concerning the disclaimer that has been added to legacy products. Cortex Prime, owned by Fandom has released the license details for fans interested in developing mods, etc. for the game. The fans are not happy. The agreement appears to give ownership of all free materials developed to Fandom. New expansion for Vaesen by Free League lets players leave the Nordic setting and explore folklore monsters in Britain and Ireland. EN Publishing loses the 200AD license and holds an enormous flash sale of all remaining stock. Forged in the Dark Bundle of Holding give you 4 RPGs using the system, including the original Blades in the Dark designed by John Harper and published by Evil Hat Productions , for only $10. Quite a deal if you have never tried the system and setting.
