Pathfinder and Starfinder’s August releases are hit hard by Diamond Distributor bankruptcy, WizKids previews new DnD minis based on new edition monster art, and Humble Bundle starts a deal on several big name TTRPGs. 

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.

Werewolf: The Apocalypse announced a new sourcebook, DnD Beyond might have revived a la carte purchases, WizKids revealed an event exclusive collab miniature, and a popular YouTube show got a release date for a tie-in graphic novel.

A new DnD video game is in development from a Star Wars Game Director, Mike Mearls leaves Chaosium but stays on RuneQuest, WotC is looking for a new pair of DnD leads, and Troll Lord reforged its Adventurers Backpack for Castles & Crusades.

It's a week of returns: Psion class returns in Unearthed Arcana, White Wolf returns to World of Darkness, Svavelvinter returns for Dragonbane, and Free RPG Day will return with some interesting goodies.

This week: a duo of DnD friends wins the Amazing Race competition show, Free League brings out more Dragonbane, and WizKids’ parent company buys Diamond Comics… with some complications as a result. 

These systems allow for a player to create a character and carry said character through different adventures, with different groups and game masters, with the knowledge (or assurance) that the character will be compatible with the adventure and the content will fit the character.

Before you begin building your 5e character, make sure you get as much information from your Dungeon Master as you can.
