Tabletop RPG

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.

Our Legend in the Mist actual play continues!

The Legend in the Mist TTRPG has finally released, and Tavern Watch is here to dip our toes back into the world of rustic fantasy adventure!

Though the weather may be bright and sunny as summer approaches, the pages on the Dungeons & Dragons calendar have turned, revealing the first of three themed seasons for 2026 releases: the Season of Horror, with the release of Ravenloft: The Horrors Within.

This week on the Tavern Watch Podcast, we discuss some exciting news for fans of all things that go bump in the night: a new Vampire: the Masquerade project was teased for GenCon 2026, including a commitment to "human-created" art, as opposed to AI slop.
