This week in StartPlaying TTRPG news: Arcana Unleashed subclasses previewed in new actual play series, Magic Arena employees officially formed the first union ever at WotC, Invincible TTRPG gets release details, and Outgunned pre-orders open for two new books.
Arcana Unleashed Subclasses Confirmed Via Dungeon Masters Show
The second season of the official DnD Actual Play, Dungeon Masters, will preview four subclasses from the upcoming Arcana Unleashed book. The four subclasses, according to EN World, are Arcane Archer Fighter, Transmuter Wizard, Vestige Warlock, and Warrior of the Mystic Arts Monk.
The season itself tells the story of a group of Misfits who must traverse the Anauroch Desert to ensure ancient magical forces stay sealed. Like how season one previewed elements of Ravenloft: the Horrors Within, season two looks to offer peeks at Arcana Unleashed including Play-Along packs for viewers to access on D&D Beyond. It features the same cast, with the first episode airing July 8.
First Union Within Wizards Of The Coast Gets Its Official Start
The Magic: The Gathering Arena workers got their union. The group is called United Wizards of the Coast, and was successfully voted into being with 79 saying yes and 16 for no. WotC publicly accepted the results of the vote, and the bargaining process will now begin.
This union is the first to exist within WotC. It came about after Arena employees grouped up to fight for better pay, crunch, and concerns over AI. WotC did not recognize the first announcement of this union, and many employees received letters these past few weeks downplaying the effectiveness of unions.
Invincible TTRPG Comes Out July 30 At Gen Con
The Invincible RPG set its official launch for Gen Con on July 30. Thankfully, for those not attending the giant convention, you can still pre-order on Free League’s website. PDFs will be distributed via DriveThruRPG on launch day. Those looking for a physical edition can either order it online to get it shipped or find it in your local game store. Physical items include a starter set, core rulebook, GM screen, power cards, and a branded d6 set.
Outgunned Superheroes Comes To Store Pre-Orders
Free League put Outgunned Superheroes up for pre-order after its highly successful Kickstarter. While the PDF is already available on DriveThruRPG, this pre-order is for the hard cover book’s eventual release in book stores, local game stores, and online. As reported by ICv2, Outgunned Superheroes retails for $49.99. There will also be Action Flicks Vol. 3 which adds action movie settings for Outgunned including mythology and time travel.
More Outgunned is always a fun thing, looking forward to it. Until next time, may your dice be kind.
Sergio Solórzano is the best Dungeon Master in the USA (according to an official D&D competition, anyway). He loves minis and terrain but also goes all-in on improv!
