Who could forget Dispatch’s release and subsequent explosion of popularity, as hordes of gamers gathered to run and romance their own superhero squad; not me. But months later, after stumbling on a new upcoming medieval narrative RPG, those memories came flooding back. Sovereign Tower’s Steam demo released a couple of months ago, and I loved…

Eric “ConcernedApe” Barone recently gave us a small update on the progress of Haunted Chocolatier. He said that his next project is taking longer than expected due to the fact that it’s a bigger game than Stardew Valley and because he’s a perfectionist.

So many of New…

Vampire: The Masquerade is getting a Dungeons & Dragons rulebook—titled Bound by Blood, this tome’ll contain a Kindred class (with six subclasses), a 4th-level adventure, some extra systems to make being a vampire in D&D make any sort of sense, and a bunch of new feats. I will start off with something kind before I…

We’re officially over the halfway line for 2026, and I’m in this weird limbo where it feels like nothing has come out… but also everything has come out.
