Octopath Traveler TTRPG gets English release, the upcoming Greyhawk book by Luke Gygax will not involve WotC designers, Draw Steel’s VTT launches in Early Access, and WizKids reveals new DnD player character minis. 

The Ultimate RPG Villain Backstory Guide takes a faster, simpler, and ultimately effective approach to building a baddie. 

DnD is putting out a Romantasy book, WotC added new faces to the DnD team, Nancy Drew made her way to TTRPGs, and MCDM now has the most million dollar crowdfunding campaigns.

Brennan Lee Mulligan takes over Critical Role for Campaign 4 in a new world, WotC shows off DnD alt covers for the Forgotten Realms duo, Gen Con attendance sets record high, and a slew of new TTRPGs were released or announced during the convention. 

When MCDM says that their new Draw Steel roleplaying game is going to focus on creating, in their words, a “tactical heroic cinematic fantasy”, players took notice.
