Hasbro has partnered with digital gambling firm Games Global to develop online slot games featuring the Dungeons & Dragons (DnD) brand. The first game in this collaboration, Dungeons and Dragons Tales of Riches, will be created by Neon Valley Studios and is set to release in the first quarter of 2025. The game aims to offer an immersive, story-driven slot experience, tapping into DnD’s global fanbase. While Hasbro has not officially commented on the project, the move is part of DnD’s 50th anniversary celebrations in 2024. This marks a new and unusual venture for Hasbro, as the company has previously licensed DnD for various non-gambling products but not for online casino games. Stern Pinball has also revealed a new Dungeons & Dragons-themed pinball table called The Tyrant’s Eye, created in collaboration with Wizards of the Coast. This game incorporates elements from the DnD universe, including character classes, dragons, and immersive storylines. Players battle Tiamat, the dragon queen, and other mythical creatures, while using pinball mechanics integrated with a fantasy adventure. Available in different editions, including a limited version with exclusive features, The Tyrant’s Eye offers a unique and collectible pinball experience. Both releases highlight the growing intersection of DnD with other forms of entertainment beyond traditional tabletop role-playing games.

The Tales of the Valiant Starter Set is designed for newcomers to tabletop role-playing games (TTRPGs), providing everything needed to start playing right away. Whether you want to take on the role of the Game Master, guiding adventures with dragons, goblins, and treasure, or play a heroic character battling evil, this set is accessible for all. Created by Steamforged in collaboration with Kobold Press, the Starter Set offers a comprehensive introduction to roleplaying, starting with the basics and progressing to your first adventure. The set includes 4 miniatures, a rules reference, two adventure books, battlemaps, polyhedral dice, character sheets, and color tokens, all for a retail price of $44.99. It is set to be available for pre-order in early 2025.

Ultraviolet Grasslands 2E is a highly anticipated, expanded edition of a tabletop role-playing game known for its psychedelic and otherworldly theme. Now enhanced with 252 pages, this new version offers streamlined character rules, expanded caravan options, and a brand-new bestiary. The game features a strange steppe landscape where players journey through time and space, combining elements of heavy metal, the Dying Earth genre, and the Oregon Trail. Notable updates include revamped spells, 50 new pet companions, and an expanded map. The book, presented in full color and hardcover, includes a PDF bundle, and the release comes with additional companion items like a referee screen and exclusive patch. It offers an exciting adventure through a fantastical world, enhanced by stunning artwork and design.

Roll20 has acquired Demiplane, a character management and creation toolset, to enhance its virtual tabletop (VTT) platform. This acquisition aims to create a seamless user experience for tabletop RPG players, allowing them to buy RPG content, manage characters, and play games in one place. Roll20 CEO Ankit Lal emphasized the goal of connecting gamers and providing a comprehensive digital toolkit for various game systems. Demiplane’s integration will support new game systems and Kickstarter campaigns with digital options. Demiplane CEO Peter Romenesko mentioned efforts to merge the two platforms’ features. The acquisition won’t immediately impact users, but Demiplane’s development team, minus executive Adam Bradford, will stay intact. Bradford has joined SmiteWorks, the owner of Fantasy Grounds, as Chief Development Officer.

Steamforged Games has acquired the Iron Kingdoms universe, including the Warmachine wargame, Formula P3 paints, and the Iron Kingdoms RPG series, from Privateer Press. This acquisition aims to enhance the gaming experience for players through a collaboration between Steamforged and Privateer Press on design and development. Steamforged, known for its successful game development, plans to transition the range to its website, ensuring a smooth changeover while honoring existing orders. The acquisition is expected to strengthen the miniature gaming community, with continued support for related events and upcoming releases, including a Kickstarter for the Iron Kingdoms RPG.

Meta has confirmed that it uses public Instagram images to train its AI image generator, sparking outrage among users, especially artists. Many are considering leaving Instagram due to this and the platform’s declining reach. Despite the backlash, opting out is complicated and mainly available to EU users. Superstar artist J. Scott Campbell advised artists to remain on major platforms like Instagram for business growth, though he has joined the artist-friendly platform Cara. Cara promises to filter out AI-generated content and offers an alternative for those concerned about AI’s ethical issues. Campbell also suggests artists build direct connections with their audience through mailing lists.

SmiteWorks, the developer behind the virtual tabletop software Fantasy Grounds, has hired Adam Bradford as its Chief Development Officer. Bradford, known for founding D&D Beyond and leading Demiplane, brings significant experience to his new role. At SmiteWorks, he will focus on expanding Fantasy Grounds’ market presence, enhancing user engagement, and improving user experience. Doug Davison, President of SmiteWorks, expressed confidence in Bradford’s ability to drive growth and innovation. Bradford is enthusiastic about contributing to the success of Fantasy Grounds and aims to modernize its visual identity.
