EN World: D&D & Tabletop RPG News & Reviews forum

On Saturday at Gen Con 2026, our schedule shifted operations entirely over to Lucas Oil Stadium, where we presented our final two tracks back-to-back under Mal and Tal Enterprises, LLC. The first was Run an RPG Campaign Online.

Mine is Dune: Adventures in the Imperium. I love Dune and I ordered the book as soon as I was able. When it arrived I was so excited and was telling all my friends I was going to run it and it was going to be the greatest. Then I actually opened the book and was just overwhelmed with all the systems and strange modifier tables and I am not ashamed to admit the 2d20 system did not click in my head. I was still willing to try but when I started showing the book to my potential players no one... Read more

So, I was reading a random article on Yahoo about Vampire Movies. source 23 years ago...all about how Underworld was voted #1 in an area unrelated to RPGs It focused on Underworld (the movie), which obviously is not this section (it would be the Geek talk forum instead) except than it had this interesting snippet. The company created the RPG games Vampire: The Masquerade and Werewolf: The Apocalypse based on Collins' 1996 novel Love of Monsters . Click to expand... I'm... Read more

There's also miniatures boxed sets and accessories for similar prices, including several different Fallout: Wasteland Warfare miniature sets ... Read more

I'm usually the one arguing against the paper-and-pencil purists. You know the position: a real GM needs nothing but blank paper, a pencil and enough hours. I've never bought it, and I say so often. But I've been prepping two videos about published adventures, and looking back at what I actually do with a published adventure made me thoughtful. I replace plot points. I edit the maps. I change the NPCs — not just names, but who/what they are, what they want and what they're doing about it. I... Read more

Announced on Friday during a Warhammer Preview event, Games Workshop is releasing Necromunda: Roleplay , a new miniatures-focused tabletop RPG set on the Warhammer 40K world of Necromunda .

If you haven't read the first post in the series, How To Read Rules, I recommend doing so. It lays out what I think is pretty basic, clear, and easy-to-understand rule from B/X, and explains how to interpret that rule. But most rules arguments aren't about easy-to-understand rules. Unless you are Derek. NO, DEREK, I DON'T NEED TO HEAR YOUR DIATRIBE ABOUT WHY FIGHTERS IN 5e REALLY GET d12 HIT POINTS AGAIN, DEPENDING ON THE DEFINITION OF "HIT" AND "POINTS!" Instead, it can be because... Read more

It's no secret that Pathfinder RPG publisher Paizo has had a difficult couple of years. Earlier this year, the company was forced to lay off 12 employees after massive losses caused by their distributor's bankruptcy and the ensuing complications, as well as reducing Pathfinder Society and Starfinder Society offerings to once a month. The company has announced that Pathfinder core books, pocket editions, and selected other Lost Omens... Read more

​ In an interview with Wargamer , Dan Ayoub--head of Dungeons & Dragons at Wizards of the Coast--talked about the trust the company lost when it tried to rescind the Open Gaming License back in 2023. Ayoub took over at WotC in 2025, two years after the crisis, and said of the events "But I don't want to skirt the focus of your question. It was a rug pull, right? A lot of people and businesses were built up around a specific thing. Trust was given to the brand, and... Read more

This is the fourth in a series of articles attempting to answer the question: How much D&D stuff is there anyway? So far, we’ve looked at editions , settings and magazines . Our hypothetical collector has spent close to $30k on TSR and WotC D&D products, some licensed 3e setting material and nearly a thousand magazine issues. The focus so far has been on collecting RPG material, and there is certainly a lot of that. In this article, we are moving beyond...​ Read more
