Tabletop RPG

It's been almost 50 years in the making but now the first book in the newest trilogy of Dungeons & Dragons rulebooks, formerly titled One D&D (or informally D&D 6e), the 2024 Player's Handbook is releasing September 17, 2024, with pre-orders already underway.

Concrete details about the 2024 revamp of the Dungeons & Dragons Player's Handbook are finally starting to filter out to the gaming public, and one of the important questions on everyone's mind has been: what are the official core rulebook subclasses?

Hollows is a new tabletop RPG — currently under development by Rowan, Rook and Decard — that aims to make boss fights better and more satisfying.

Roll20, the indepedent virtual tabletop (VTT) toolset company, has formally announced their acquisition of Demiplane.

Wizards of the Coast is currently searching for a Principal AI Engineer that will build processes focused on simulation, asset creation, and AI generations.

Stop me if you've heard any of these Tabletop RPG scenarios: You've gathered around your gaming table to play a gang of scrappy, daring scoundrels pulling off a daring heist in a fantastic environment, making a name for yourself in the city's underworld, but your group keeps getting bogged down in the details of planning and never gets around to actually getting themselves into, and hopefully out of, trouble.

The upcoming D&D adventure anthology Quests from the Infinite Staircase does something I absolutely love: it adapts old school Dungeons and Dragons adventures into the current edition of the game, letting players experience these classics for themselves.

We ran an entire adventure, from beginning to end, in one session using the v1.2 open beta playtest rules for Daggerheart, the new TTRPG developed by Darrington Press and the team at Critical Role.

I'm mostly asking this question of people who don't play TTRPGs at all, but even if you do play Dungeons and Dragons, there are other games you may not have tried (or even heard of).

Recently, the Blizzard Watch crew played the public beta playtest of Daggerheart (you can listen to our session zero now)-- the upcoming tabletop role-playing game from Darringon Press, the fine folks who bring you Critical Role.
