Another merry week of tabletop RPG news is here! The past week has been good to us, with our stories being product reveals and previews. There’s new games and fun new ways to play old favorites! So without further ado, we see DnD add more physical goods to its next starter set, Terraforming Mars hit the TTRPG scene, Heliana’s Guide bring monster hunting to D&D Beyond, and WizKids unleash the mighty Froghemoth Elder on stores.
DnD Borderlands Starter Set Has Card-Based Character Sheet

Wizards of the Coast provided a sneak peek at its upcoming Dungeons & Dragons Starter Set Heroes of the Borderlands. In a marketing trailer shared on its official YouTube page, WotC showed off item cards, NPC cards, monster tokens, color maps, and individual booklets for the various quests. Attendees of last weekend’s New York Toy Fair got a hands-on preview. YouTube channel Otakus & Geeks shared a closer look at the image-based character sheets which feature cards that display important equipment and spells.
Terraforming Mars RPG Now Funding On BackerKit

The hit board game Terraforming Mars is going to be a TTRPG. So say over 1,000 people who pledged via BackerKit to see the project reach more than full funding. The campaign is still ongoing for another two weeks, so you too can be one of the first to experience the Terraforming Mars TTRPG and get those sweet physical rewards. The game itself sees players take on multiple characters throughout generations of colonisation efforts on the red planet. The gameplay uses a simple d6 system where fame turns into character progression.
Make Monster Hunter DnD A Reality With Heliana's Guide On D&D Beyond

D&D Beyond made a strategic addition to its collection of third-party offerings this week with Heliana's Guide to Monster Hunting from Loot Tavern. The release–no doubt timed up with Monster Hunter Wilds–is actually a Part One, not including the full book but still providing a hefty 350 pages worth for $39.99. The included content has mechanics for tracking monsters, harvesting their parts to make items, cooking, five example monster hunt quests, four subclasses, eight new species, as well as many new spells and monsters.
Unleash The Froghemoth On Your Players With This Close-Up Preview
WizKids once again provided StartPlaying with a preview of one of its large DnD miniatures. This time, bask in the gross glory of the Froghemoth Elder. This Huge-sized creature towers over player characters with its oversized base and eight inches of height. It’s a sturdy figure with a great sculpt that incorporates its creepy tentacles for a very striking pose. This great edition to a Spelljammer campaign is available in stores and online now for $79.99.
And with Froghemoth Elder’s close-up, we’re at an end! See you next week, may your dice be kind.
