“Stay Frosty REMASTERED” is a revamped old-school sci-fi tabletop RPG where players embody future marines facing off against cosmic threats, reminiscent of classic military sci-fi movies and games. Built upon Black Hack TTRPG rules, it offers strategic, dice-driven gameplay with four core attributes, eight unique classes, and mechanics for rank, supply management, and escalating tension during missions. This edition introduces new content, including two starter adventures, enhanced artwork, campaign-ready rules, and exclusive merchandise. Players explore, battle foes, and tackle point-crawls with themes of horror and action. Written by Casey Garske, with contributions from talented artists, it delivers immersive, long-term gameplay experiences.

The first official expansion for the popular RPG Blades in the Dark, titled Deep Cuts, has been released by creator John Harper. It expands the game with new factions, mechanics, and background options. Divided into two parts, it introduces 27 factions, over 100 heritage and background packages, and 13 new technological innovations. It also includes six modular rules systems that overhaul core mechanics, such as Harm & Trauma, Advancement, and the introduction of a new Threat Roll system, altering how conflict and success are handled. This expansion, described as a blend of refined mechanics and enriched lore, aims to deepen player immersion and campaign longevity.

One More Multiverse is a new VTT that uses a pixel art style for its assets. They will be releasing a Blades in the Dark module that will include every asset, character and location from the core rulebook. That means players and gamemasters will have access to the entire Doskvol setting for only $29.99. Seems like a good deal and a novel approach, but does it move tabletop roleplaying too close to PC gaming?

Twilight Inscription is a new roll and write game from Fantasy Flight Games. It is set in the same universe as their Ameritrash monster Twilight Imperium. This may be a better option for getting new players into a game that doesn’t take a long time to set up and an eternity to play. Is this just Twilight Imperium without the plastic pieces? Does it offer a different experience or just a modified version of the original boardgame?

As part of the current Kickstarter for the Elric: Rise of the Young Kingdoms boardgame, Le Département is offering a PDF version of the Official Elric RPG, Mournblade translated into English as an add-on. This RPG has previously has only been available in French and will be heading to retail in English for the first time after the Kickstarter is fulfilled. This makes us very curious and is giving us a reason to take a second look at the Kickstarter.

Corvus Belli will soon be Kickstarting their Warcrow Adventures, a tile-crawling boardgame. This is the first step in their release of an alternative setting to the scifi, anime-inspired world of Infinity. The setting will be fantasy, but not a Tolkein-inspired world but something closer to the Wild West meets the Age of Exploration. Warcrow will be released as a miniatures skirmish game later next year. This game is giving us a taste of the world and what to look forward to as far as factions in the new fantasy game. Their version of an undead faction and dark elves already has us very interested!

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.

Kobold Press collects all of their 5E material into Tome of Heroes. This will give players the choice of 10 new races and 50 subclasses. The new hardcover book is currently on Kickstarter and includes both new and previously published material. Omnichromatic Pirate Unicorn Games has published a guide to Intellectual Property in RPGs. It is currently pay-what-you-want on DriveThruPRG. This is a useful overview of what can be protected and what cannot in the world of RPG design and development. Tiny Library is also currently on Kickstarter. It is an anthology of TTRPGs that can be printed on a single standard size playing card (both sides) and all 50 games can be yours for US$10. John Harper, the creator of the Blades in the Dark RPG, recently tweeted that Warp Films is currently developing a TV series based his RPG setting. Evil Hat Publishes the RPG and no further details have been released regarding dates or platform. There have also been rumors of an Exalted TV series in development based on the RPG of the same name. Is this a new trend in mining ideas for the creatively bankrupt entertainment industry? Are comic books yesterday’s bananas? Remember the Fox TV series based on White Wolf’s Kindred: The Embraced?
