The Weekly LIVE 236 – Black Milk D&D Fashion, Sundered Isles, Doppel LED Miniature,Troike Charity Bundle and Ed Piskor Passes

Posted on by upturnedtable

 

BlackMilk, an Australian clothing brand, has revealed a new collection in collaboration with Dungeons & Dragons to celebrate the franchise’s 50th anniversary. The collection, featuring a variety of clothing items adorned with D&D icons, will be available for order next week. Previous collaborations by BlackMilk with franchises like Star Wars and Pokemon have been well-received for their stylish and functional designs. The collection includes items such as dresses, robes, jackets, knit sweaters, blazers, and pants, showcasing designs ranging from subtle D&D logos to portraits of iconic characters. To ensure availability, BlackMilk advises subscribing to their newsletter and creating an account on their website. Social media reactions suggest high anticipation for the collection, which is set to release on April 8th at 5pm EST.

An expansion titled “Sundered Isles” for the sci-fi RPG “Ironsworn: Starforged” has been announced, offering seafaring adventures in a fantasy Age of Sail setting. The expansion includes new gameplay options, character choices, and tools for worldbuilding, promising swashbuckling adventures amidst mariners, rebels, and empires. Developed by Shawn Tomkin, this expansion originated as a digital stretch goal in the Starforged Kickstarter campaign and is now nearing completion.

A product called “Doppel” is introduced, offering a digital miniature for tabletop RPGs. Doppel features LED screens, custom audio effects, motion detection, and compatibility with popular RPG games. It aims to enhance gaming experiences by bringing characters to life with dynamic visuals and immersive sounds. The device also includes an app for character management and customization, fostering a deeper connection with gaming personas and facilitating shared narratives among players. Doppel’s compact design and multimedia integration provide a modern alternative to traditional miniatures, while promoting social interaction among players.

Troika!, a surreal and strange tabletop RPG series, is offering a charity bundle with a 20% discount on several books, with proceeds benefiting Doctors Without Borders. The bundle, available through independent bookstore Iglootree, includes five physical sourcebooks at a reduced price, supporting humanitarian aid efforts. 

The comics community mourns the loss of acclaimed comics creator Ed Piskor, known for works like “Hip-Hop Family Tree” and “X-Men: Grand Design.” Piskor’s passing follows recent allegations of misconduct, and his death has prompted an outpouring of condolences from fans and colleagues.

Melsonian Arts Council has announced a new softcover sourcebook as part of a crowdfunding campaign that offers curious newcomers one of the best ports of entry into the science-fantasy game of decidedly British absurdism and adventure. The softback edition also function as a fold-out facilitator screen during play. The text of the rules will be nestled on the right-hand side, while all other real estate will contain graphs, tables and rules reminders.

Wizards of the Coast may be outlawing third-party homebrew content in its upcoming evergreen edition. This unconfirmed rumor would mean players would be unable to legally publish homebrew content for One D&D. According to the leak, Wizards of the Coast does not plan on using the Open Game License to create a new free-to-access Systems Reference Document for One D&D. If Wizards of the Coast were to discontinue the OGL, players would not be able to legally publish third-party homebrew using the One D&D ruleset.

Wizards of the Coast has a new process for reviewing their material before it’s published. According to a new blog post from Chris Perkins, the D&D Studio is in the process of changing its review process, after fans raised concerns about offensive material present in Spelljammer: Adventures from Space. 

Archon Studios is crowdfunding a board game based on the 1999 Heroes of Might and Magic III: The Restoration of Erathia PC game. The Polish studio has a record of successfully crowdfunding miniatures-heavy board games from both licensed IPs and original properties. The list of video games made into board game continues to grow.

The Weekly LIVE 148 – Roll20 and OneBookShelf Joint Venture, The Big Squirm for Troika!, 2d20 Summer of Gaming and Mork Borg: Barebones Edition

Posted on by upturnedtable

Roll20 and OneBookShelf have announced a joint venture that will involve some management shuffling and give you access to all PDFs in the Roll20 VTT… eventually. Not as earth-chattering as some people are making it out to be. It feels more like an excuse to bully smaller publishers that want access to customers and tart yourself up for your eventual buyout by Wizards of the Coast. Good luck with that. This adds convenience but at what cost to the employees, designers and customers of these games. Oh, and did I mention it will also kill the now redundant Astral VTT? It’s just the beginning of a much bigger mess. Roll20 took 10 years to add basic quality of life features to their platform and OBS has the worst backend of any online sales platform. A match made in heaven.

The latest official adventure for Troika! is now on Kickstarter. The Big Squirm is a hard-boiled mystery about speculative worm trading. Players are private detectives and in an open sandbox adventure with a series of clues to uncover by any means necessary. Written by Luke Gearing, previously of Acid Death Fantasy, it will be a 100-page hardcover book with over 40 pieces of art by Andrew Walter and of course published by the Melsonion Arts Council.

Miss White Boy Summer? Well now we have the Summer of 2d20. Modiphius is promoting the release of their 2d20 SRD with a sale of all of their published 2d20 systems in both physical and digital form. The sale is 20% off and includes games like Dune: Adventures in the Imperium, Star Trek Adventures, Fallout the Roleplaying Game, Dishonored, Infinity, Conan, John Carter of Mars, Mutant Chronicles, and Achtung! It runs for 48 hours starting July 20th which they have officially named 2d20 Day. In addition to all that, there will a collaboration with Mōdiphiüs xStartplaying.Games, the group finding platform for VTTs All participating Gamemasters who run a 2d20 game with at least two verified players during this period will be entered into a random draw to win one prize of $1,000 USD to spend on the Modiphius webstore, and three players can win one of three $100 USD Did you notice the theme with the number twenty in all that? Marketing!

And finally, proof that Stockholm Kartell’s hit TTPRG isn’t just and art project that escaped to your tabletop. Mork Borg: Barebones Edition is now available for FREE. It is all the text of the original yellow book with the art and much of the graphic design removed. The PDF is available on Johan Nohr’s Itch.io page as Pay what you want. Hopefully, he had the task of dismantling his beautiful doom metal art masterpiece himself so that it maintained some of the wonderful feel of the full volume edition.
