Tabletop RPG

Tavern Watch is back with another episode of Kids on Bikes, catching up with the kids of New Novemberwood as -- despite all the weird stuff happening to them lately, mostly related to astonishing feats of good luck -- they remember that they have a homework assignment due Monday.

When exploring the tabletop RPG space beyond D&D, a lot of people's first steps will be Paizo's incredibly popular Pathfinder and Starfinder games, which feel familiar while giving players and GMs a lot of new options.

It's just another day in the sleepy little town of New Novemberwood, just a regular old day like any other.

Last week's Gen Con was a focal point for Dungeons & Dragons, as the previously thin calendar of upcoming releases was filled out with familiar names, old haunts, surprising horrors, and iconic villains.

In this special Gen Con edition of the Tavern Watch Podcast, we're looking at a mountain of new product announcements for our favorite games, some coming soon and others stretched out over the next few years, but all of them exciting.

At the Daggerheart Next panel at Gen Con 2026, Darrington Press laid out a three year roadmap for their fantasy tabletop RPG, and for fans of this system, it's packed with new game content.

Yesterday at Gen Con the Dungeons & Dragons team revealed an updated roadmap and several new releases, including the "worst kept secret" that has been bouncing around the internet this week: a crossover with none other than World of Warcraft, with a rule expansion that brings everything you'd need to play a Warcraft campaign into D&D 5.5e.

This week on the Tavern Watch Podcast, we wander very naturally into one of the most age-old discussions among tabletop players and GMs alike: do you have a preference for crunchy systems or streamlined ones?

In the final episode of our Legend in the Mist actual play, the Inkwell Club has managed to calm down the frenzied (and cursed) Spring Renewal Festival, only to see that several townsfolk are still caught in the thrall of something sinister and being led down the narrow switchback paths to the bottom of Skunk Glen Ravine.

The Season of Horror is in full swing in the Dungeons & Dragons multiverse, capstoned by the recent release of Ravenloft: The Horrors Within.
