The Weekly LIVE 265 – Household Bundle, Star Trek 2E Starter Set, N5 Delayed and Higher Tariffs

Posted on by upturnedtable_sx8obi

 

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.

The Weekly LIVE 249 – Roll20 Security Breach, Modiphius UK Moving, Helluva Town RPG and Five Parsecs from Home: Tactics

Posted on by upturnedtable_sx8obi

 

On June 29, 2024, Roll20 detected unauthorized access to an administrative account, which was promptly blocked within an hour. An investigation revealed that personal information such as names, email addresses, last known IP addresses, and the last four digits of stored credit cards might have been exposed. However, full payment details and passwords were not compromised. Despite having no evidence of data misuse, Roll20 is notifying users as a precaution and has committed to enhancing their security measures. Users concerned about their data can contact Roll20’s support.

Modiphius Entertainment is moving its UK warehousing and order fulfillment to a new partner, promising cheaper and faster shipping. The transition may cause delays for orders placed after 5 PM BST on July 5. Digital orders and orders from the US store will not be affected. To compensate for delays, a 15% discount is offered on most physical products using the code SHIPPINGDELAY. Pre-orders, especially for Fallout: Factions, will be prioritized to minimize impact.

Acheron Games announced a new project, HELLUVA TOWN, a cartoon gangster RPG with illustrations by Shawn Dickinson. The rulebook features a poker card-based system, pre-generated characters, a neighborhood map, and various additional materials like an artbook, stickers, pins, and a themed T-shirt. The game combines elements from Cuphead, Looney Tunes, and gangster movies, creating a unique and chaotic RPG experience.

Modiphius Entertainment launched a new TTRPG, Five Parsecs From Home: Tactics, with three books available for pre-order. This game allows solo or cooperative sci-fi skirmish adventures with procedurally generated battles, character progression, and a variety of enemies and objectives. The game supports both small skirmishes and larger battles, and it is miniatures-agnostic. A seven-stage narrative solo campaign is included, along with expansions for more tactical options and adventures.

The Weekly LIVE 248 – Modiphius Acquires Strato Minis, CRIT Awards at GenCon, Caverns of Thracia and Rascal News

Posted on by upturnedtable_sx8obi

 

Modiphius Entertainment has acquired Strato Minis Studio, a Polish company known for its resin miniatures and games such as Hardwar, Retrobots, and Stratoyager. Modiphius will take over the development of these lines, starting with a re-launch of Hardwar, a 6mm scale miniatures game centered on sci-fi mech, armor, and aerial combat. Modiphius co-founder Chris Birch praised the Strato Minis team for their intricate world-building and expressed plans to expand the game’s audience. The new Hardwar line will be released in stages, including a reprint of the core rules and a free quickstart PDF to help new players.

The CRIT Awards, organized by Ivy, announced on June 24 that their in-person ceremony would not return to Gen Con due to safety concerns. This decision followed social media backlash after the nomination of a performer associated with WafflesMapleSyrup, a studio criticized for its Zionist stance. Omega Jones, the intended host, suggested that Gen Con forced the awards to withdraw due to their anti-Zionist stance. The CRIT Awards emphasized the difficulty of the decision and urged the community to avoid harassment or violence. No official comments were received from Gen Con or CRIT Awards at the time of publication.

The Caverns of Thracia, a legendary mega-dungeon adventure, has successfully raised $352,007, far exceeding its $10,000 goal. The campaign offers both 5E and Dungeon Crawl Classics (DCC) editions, featuring a rich narrative set in an ancient dungeon filled with formidable foes and numerous secrets. The project supports a full-year campaign with extensive content, including new monsters, magic items, and spells. Stretch goals have expanded the adventure’s scope, and new scenarios and add-ons have been introduced. Backers can choose between classic hardcover or special limited editions with unique cover art and custom dice sets inspired by the adventure’s theme.

Rascal News, an independent TTRPG and culture outlet, is running its first pledge drive to ensure sustainability and support freelance writers. Launched in February, Rascal has grown to 4,150 members, including 1,050 paying subscribers. The drive aims to enable the co-founders to write full-time and commission more freelance content. Subscriber goals range from increasing contributors to attending conventions and launching a podcast. The drive runs from July 1 to August 3, with various events planned to engage the community and attract new subscribers. Rascal remains committed to reader-funded, ad-free journalism and seeks support to continue its unique, voice-driven coverage of the TTRPG world.

The Weekly LIVE 210 – AI Art Backlash, Tainted Grail RPG, Ad Astra and Cohors Cthulhu

Posted on by upturnedtable_sx8obi

FryxGames CEO, Enoch Fryxelius, defends the use of AI in the Terraforming Mars project on Facebook. The company’s next board game, “Fates,” will not include AI, addressing concerns raised in an interview transcript by Polygon. Fryxelius emphasizes that AI was used for artwork in Terraforming Mars but assures that no jobs were lost, though he acknowledges potential impact on illustrators. The next game, “Fates,” will feature exclusively human-made graphics, with a focus on paying a living wage to illustrators.

Tainted Grail, a dark fantasy board game, is getting a tabletop RPG adaptation called “Tainted Grail: Song of a Dying World.” The RPG, based on the Shadows of Esteren system, explores the world of Avalon and introduces new characters known as Guardians of Avalon. The game system emphasizes roleplaying, character progression, and includes mechanics from the original board game. The RPG is being developed by Studio Agate, with a crowdfunding campaign planned for November.

Free League announces the expansion “Ad Astra” for the Mutant: Year Zero tabletop RPG. The expansion takes players from Earth’s surface into orbit, introducing a space-themed campaign. A pre-order for Ad Astra is available, offering early access to a full PDF ahead of the physical release next year. In addition to the expansion, there is a reprint of all Mutant: Year Zero core books, including Mutant: Mechatron.

Modiphius Entertainment introduces Cohors Cthulhu, a game using the 2d20 system, set in ancient Rome. Changes to the system include the addition of the attribute “Gravitas” for serious and dignified actions. The focus shifts from firearms to melee weapons, with a robust combat system and hidden facets of player characters. Cultural and caste choices play a crucial role in character development within the context of ancient Rome.

The Weekly LIVE 207 – Artists Suing AI, Mines of Moria, Coffee & Chaos, Dreams & Machines and They Grow Up So Fast

Posted on by upturnedtable_sx8obi

Visual artists are taking legal action against AI companies for using their artwork without consent. Artists like Kelly McKernan are concerned that AI-generated images similar to their styles are being created using their names without permission. They are suing AI companies for copyright infringement. The U.S. Copyright Office is seeking public input on AI and copyright issues, including how AI models use copyrighted data, whether AI-generated material can be copyrighted, and how copyright liability works with AI.

There is a tabletop role-playing game (RPG) called “Coffee & Chaos” by CobblePath Games, where characters run a café instead of going on traditional adventures. It uses a cutlery-based system and focuses on storytelling and humor. Instead of creating new characters, Coffee & Chaos walks players through the process of translating their fantasy hero’s abilities, spell, stats and weapons into food service-apporpriate talents. The wizard can levitate ingredients from the top shelf, the bard can calm the rush of customers impatiently waiting for the fighter to subdue the mimic masquerading as a milk steamer.

Modiphius Entertainment is releasing pre-order items for their TTRPG “Dreams and Machines,” including player guides, game master guides, toolkits, dice sets, and collector’s slipcases.

A new campaign for the RPG “Tales from the Loop” called “They Grow Up So Fast” is released, offering a magical year of adventures in an alternate 80s setting. The campaign consists of four adventures and takes place in the UK Loop of Norfolk Broads.

The Weekly LIVE 181 – Fallout 3D Skirmish Bundle, Recycling Warhammer, Corvus Belli Using New Plastic Resin, One Ring Expansion and GMs Day Sale Extended

Posted on by upturnedtable_sx8obi

A bundle of books and 3D printing files for Fallout: Wasteland Warfare will let you get started with the tabletop miniatures game and its RPG spin-off for under $18. Wasteland Warfare is a skirmish game based on the Fallout video game series, pitting players against each other – or AI enemies in its solo and co-op modes – in the post-apocalyptic universe using small handfuls of models.

Games Workshop Starts Trial to Recycle Old Warhammer Models and More Starting with a limited trial of 28 UK stores, the initiative for hobbyists to safely scrap Warhammer sprues, models, and paint pots could roll out worldwide.

Corvus Belli, the renowned manufacturer of miniatures, has recently announced the addition of a new material to their range of miniature production. The company has been experimenting with plastic resin, a mixture of resin and PVC, and has decided to partner with external supplier Unicool to bring this material to the market. The company has been testing this new material for several months and is excited to introduce it to its customers.

Free League Publishing revealed the latest expansion coming to their Lord Of The Rings TTRPG, The One Ring Roleplaying Game, coming out later this year. The expansion is called Tales From The Lone-Lands, and has been beautifully illustrated into a hardback compendium, which will contain six brand-new adventures for you to play as lone adventures, string together, or placed within your own campaign. All are set in the lone-lands of north-western Middle-earth, with players encouraged to assume that the time frame still fits around the main campaign in the years around 2965.

The GM’s Day sale is going on now at DriveThruRPG. It is their largest sale of the year, hundreds of publishers, thousands of downloadable titles, up to 30% off. March Forth and grab some deals. The sale ends soon!

The Weekly LIVE 169 – Modiphius Loses Conan, Gloomhaven TTRPG, Hellboy RPG by Nightfall and Android: Run the Citadel

Posted on by upturnedtable_sx8obi

After releasing the Mutant Chronicles license following the delayed Siege of the Citadel boardgame production, they are now releasing the Conan the Barbarian license and Monolith, makers of the Conan boardgame, are picking it up. What does this mean for the role-playing game? Will we see a new ruleset?

Last year Cephalofair announced plans to crowdfund a fantasy miniatures line to complement our catalog of boardgames – providing highly detailed sculpts for each of our in-game enemies, bosses, and summonable creatures typically represented by 2D cardboard standees and tokens. Now, we’re excited to reveal that we’re planning so much more than just miniatures with our brand new product—Gloomhaven: The Roleplaying Game! 

Nightfall Games have partnered with Mantic to produce the Hellboy RPG. The 5e-powered tabletop RPG will be available from Nightfall at Dragonmeet this weekend, along with the dice and GM screens. The PDFs of the game will move to Nightfall’s virtual shelves at DriveThruRPG. Nightfall will create a discounted Hellboy RPG bundle and work with Mantic Games on new Hellboy RPG products. The companies will also combine forces on the upcoming Korhonen series, B.P.R.D. cases written by Benn Graybeaton and previous Hellboy RPG contributors.

CMON are going to be exploring the world of Android with a new graphic novel and also a range of miniatures that can be used with their board game collection. At the heart of the upcoming releases is Android: Run The Citadel which is a 120-page graphic novel where the Netrunner known as Chaos Theory has to hack a secure data system and solve the mystery of her friend’s death. This is an interesting collaboration between Fantasy Flight Games and Asmodee alongside the folks from CMON. The story comes from Collin Kelly and Jackson Lanzing with art by Guilherme Balbi. As well as the new graphic novel, pre-orders will also get access to the Run The Citadel miniatures which can be used in your CMON Games.

The Weekly LIVE 137 – WotC Ignores Original Creators, Modiphius Announces Cohors Cthulhu, Warzone Eternal Kickstarter Launch Date and Kutulu Hits Japan

Posted on by upturnedtable_sx8obi

Wizards of the Coast has announced the return of two popular settings now for 5E. Unfortunately, according to Twitter, Tracy Hickman and Margaret Weis, creators of Dragonlance and Jeff Grubb, creator of Spelljammer, were not involved in the announcement and found out at the same time everyone did during the announcement. We talked previously about the lawsuit involving the new Dragonlance novels. It doesn’t make WotC look great to ignore the original creators of these settings. Is this to emphasize a break from the past or a chance to save some money?

During the D&D Direct announcement last week, Modiphius Entertainment had a strange announcement of their own. In an attempt to possible distract from WotC, Modiphius had an hour long livestream announcement that was just a torchlit wall that eventually crumbles after a very long wait with only some slight change in lighting. They revealed their new TTRPG Cohors Cthulhu set in ancient Rome, a spinoff of Against the God Themselves, set in the same universe as Achtung! Cthulhu. I guess they were following the old adage “if you can’t beat ‘em, just be boring and confusing” or something like that.

We finally have a date for the Kickstarter campaign for Warzone Eternal. It will be launching May 17th, but be sure to listen to the entire livestream to make sure that date is correct. We talked with Alex Kanous from Res Nova Games previously about the new game and crowdfunding campaign. This should be a fun game to follow and hopefully a big success on Kickstarter. Hopefully with either the Cardinal’s blessing or the influence of the Dark Symmetry we will see the return of wargaming in the Mutant Chronicles universe.

Finally, there is a new release in Japan a a Swedish TTRPG, Kutulu by Mikael Bergström. Call of Cthulhu is the most popular tabletop roleplaying game in Japan. This is a much more rules light and streamlined d6 system. The insanity mechanic especially stands out as a great innovation to the Lovecraft setting. The Swedish language PDF is available as pay-what-you-want PDF on DriveThruRPG. With a little language software translation magic you can get an idea of how this system works. Hopefully we will see an English language release. Free League are you listening?
