There's so many game announcements today. First was @renegadegamestudios.com , then Onyx Path. Then the Summer Game Fest. And I think I saw there's a Cozy one next?

@renegadegamestudios.com had its RENEGADE Con today, it's twice-annual event for new releases. There's usually a ton that comes out of it, but I'm focused on the TTRPG content. World of Darkness, Transformers and GI Joe Fans have a lot to look forward to in Fall 2025.

Step right up, folks! It's almost curtain time for the yellowest show of the year. Come dance with doppelgangers in this review of Delta Green's Impossible Landscapes.

When Summer departed the turning of the year, there was weeping. When the Sun went dark, there was agony. Now, among the peoples and nations of men, Are found the FORSAKEN; those wicked beings without fates, severed from destiny, doomed to deathless despair.

Big News at Chaosium as there have been some major shuffling around its executive leadership. Neil Robinson, the company's COO, is now CEO, and Brian Holland is the executive producer for RPGs. Mke Mearls is leaving the company to go to Asmodee... and a ton more! www.chaosium.com/blogchaosium...

I wish all Switch 2 hunters a successful purchasing period. Seeing people lining up for a midnight release is giving me serious nostalgic feelings.

Some people on Reddit are not happy about how much packaging was used to sell dice made by Wizards of the Coast since it's not super environmentally friendly. It's a bit of a weird story, but kinda interesting? packagingeurope.com/news/hasbro-...

City State of the Invincible Overlord, a new reprint of an old-school D&D campaign that has faced heavy scrutiny due to the copyright being owned by creators with antisemitic and racist views, has not been hindered by the controversy and has raised over $300k. www.backerkit.com/c/projects/g...

Why am I shocked that the Fortnite guy is as much an AI shill as anyone else. Has he SEEN the games that people make with AI? They're not-good! industrywired.com/ai/ai-slop-i...

Internet culture reporting, a beat I love dearly and once dreamed of covering, is on the decline as outlets pull back from hiring full-time reporters. Not good in a time of internet-saturated culture, IMO. embedded.substack.com/p/is-the-int... So thankful for the indie reporters on the beat.

NEW FROM TTRPG INSIDER: I saw down to talk to @rileyrethal.bsky.social and @jessfrom.online of @jumpgategames.itch.io about GALACTIC+GOING ROGUE, their duology of Star Wars-themed games! www.ttrpginsider.news/p/roleplay-i... Politics, adventuring and space opera aplenty!

UK Games Expo “now fully on the world stage of ‘mega-cons'” as record-breaking event surpasses Gen Con for trade hall size, director tells BoardGameWire: boardgamewire.com/index.php/20... @ukge.bsky.social Thanks for the quotes @tettix.bsky.social @jacksonpope.bsky.social @danjolin.bsky.social

My next article will be about GAMES but this one is about TECH and FINANCE

This is a big expansion for one of the more popular TTRPG podcast networks, including one of the shows that really gets into the nitty gritty around the industry (Aka my jam.) very excited about this for them.

Asmussen is best known for his work as game director for the two Star Wars games about Cal Kestis; Fallen Order and Jedi Survivor. Giant Skull doesn't have any games yet, so this will be an interesting first project for them.
