Fantasy Grounds and Alchemy offer free options for users, Dungeon Dudes and Ghost in the Shell hit Kickstarter, and we get a tiny update on Netflix’s in-development DnD show. 

IDW announces a Godzilla TTRPG, Daggerheart reveals its Blood Hunter, Apocalypse World 3E comes to Kickstarter, and the Daggerheart/HeroForge collab rubs fans the wrong way.

Former DnD designer explains why BBEGs die so easily, Wayne Brady joins the Critical Role family, Daggerheart gets more Roll20 support, and Free League launches a campaign box for Coriolis. 

A new group of UA subclasses for Dungeons & Dragons, more attendance at Origins Game Fair 2025, Two new Daggerheart classes playtesting, and the curious case of a game called Rebel Scum.

Read on to see which two DnD names jumped ship to Critical Role, what caused the latest Hasbro layoffs, a DnD video game that could have been, and a brand new DnD comic series. 

StartPlaying has teamed up with Daggerheart publisher Darrington Press to vet 150 professional Game Masters and prepare them for release day with advance copies of the Core Rulebook. This network of GMs will be running Daggerheart games starting right on the 20th, catering to various time zones.

This week: Critical Role announced a Daggerheart mini-campaign, Paizo revealed a Pathfinder dating card game, Barnes & Noble revealed the existence of unknown Pathfinder/Starfinder books, and a BG3 artist had a bone to pick with WizKids. 

Daggerheart is a brand new narrative-driven TTRPG from Darrington Press, and it is one of the most anticipated game releases of the year. That is hardly surprising, as Daggerheart features a slick design, cinematic fast-paced combat, tons of exciting character options, and a number of tools for gamemasters to run the game exactly the way they want. Lots to love there.
