So, something interesting dropped through my door the other day. It's a D&D-branded "Choose Your Own Adventure" style book called Endless Quest: Into the Jungle, and is apparently one of a series of four by Matt Forbeck.

Where Are All the Dungeon Masters?

In light of the Labor Day celebrations happening in the U.S., now's a good time to look at the amount of effort tabletop role-playing takes. Is it holding the hobby back from a bigger audience?
The previews are starting to show up around the web! Judge Dredd & The World of 2000 AD Kickstarts on Tuesday 25th September. Vampifan's WOIN Blog and Geek Native are the first out of the gate to share some exclusive previews of the game!

Today’s Epic Monster for Mythological Figures is the “Mighty Messenger” of the Great Old Ones, an endless font of maleficent darkness known to humanity as Nyarlathotep!

New Hobby Releases In Stores & PDF Spotlight: 3rd September 2018

Welcome to this week's rundown of the New Releases that should be hitting games stores in the next few days, plus a look back at some of last week's RPG PDF releases. This week will see Green Ronin's Modern Age hit global retail, along with a host of other great games!
The Dragon Issue 9 was published in September 1977. It is 32 pages long, with a cover price of $1.50. This issue saw the introduction of one of D&D's most beloved characters.

Welcome to The Witcher RPG

There are plenty of interesting ideas and novel approaches to adapting parts of the videogame to the tabletop, but The Witcher is tough as dragonhide and as intimidating as any wraith. But if you already love the series and are comfortable with simulationist RPGs, it’s a great way to forge your own stories in its dark, deadly world. Make no mistake, there is a lot to like about this game...

Resolutions for the Fantasy Hero

Some of you have seen Peter's "Evil Overlord List" from 1996-97. It's "The Top 100 Things I'd Do If I Ever Became An Evil Overlord" such as "Shooting is not too good for my enemies." If you've not read it before, it may help you make your opponents-for-adventurers more effective. It seems only fair that a similar list should exist for the heroes.
Next month Pinnacle Entertainment Group will be launching a brand new edition of their popular game system, Savage Worlds. In a project which was previously codenamed "Savage Worlds Black", the new edition will simply be named "Savage Worlds", and will appear on Kickstarter in October.
There's a new cross-over comic in town, which pits Rick and Morty against D&D! Releasing today, it's by Patrick Rothfuss and Jim Zub, with art from Troy Little, and features Morty asking Rick for help learning Dungeons & Dragons.

Picking Up Degenesis: Rebirth Book 1, Primal Punk

I pick up the first book and hand it to my partner. “Look at this.” I say. Not, “check out the system” or “this is like this game, television show, or book.” No I just hand the book over and let her look at it. She begins turning the pages, looking through the art, and just feeling the heft of the book. I can tell that she is already hooked and when I ask her, she agrees that she is ready to try it.
Hello everyone, Darryl here with this week’s gaming news. Judge Dredd & The Worlds of 2000AD news, new Pathfinder and Starfinder Adventure Paths, Cyberpunk's 30th anniversary (and new edition news), changes afoot at GAMA, classic Dungeons & Dragons module getting a new edition, and more!

WizKids Previews New D&D Mini Sets

Interesting that it looks like there is a single huge creature in the set. When I heard about the spell effects minis I got excited, but then I see they aren't designed to have them share the same space with other minis. I have a need for minis I can put under characters.
A new podcast episode drops! Morrus and Peter are joined by not one, but TWO special guests this week, as writers Darren Pearce and Andy Peregrine drop by to spill all the beans on the upcoming Judge Dredd & The Worlds of 2000 AD roleplaying game.

It'll be available in some stores from September 7th (hey, that's next week!) and most others on the 18th, but Waterdeep: Dragon Heist, the latest adventure for Dungeons & Dragons, has arrived at WotC's offices where Satine Phoenix, Jeremy Crawford, Greg Tito, and Chris Lindsay all posed with the book.
