The book is the first official Universes Beyond product for D&D, a name borrowed from Magic: The Gathering‘s crossover line, according to PC Gamer. Early access... - [Project_Lamordia Turns Ravenloft's Mad Scientist Into a Tech Company](https://tabletopintel.com/project_lamordia-turns-ravenlofts-mad-scientist-into-a-tech-company/): Picture a maze of ruined offices with the mists of Ravenloft pressed up against the windows. The lights still work. Nobody’s answering the front desk. Photo by SHVETS production, via Pexels. That’s the setting for Project_Lamordia, which went live on D&D Beyond on October 13. It’s a modern-day, techno-horror take on Lamordia, the Frankenstein-flavored Domain... - [Fyreslayers Lose Seven Entries to Legends, and Owners Get a 12-Month Clock](https://tabletopintel.com/fyreslayers-lose-seven-entries-to-legends-and-owners-get-a-12-month-clock/): If your Fyreslayers army is built around Vulkite Berzerkers, you now have a countdown.

The... - [Khazalite Holds Arrive and Fyreslayers Lose Seven Units](https://tabletopintel.com/khazalite-holds-arrive-and-fyreslayers-lose-seven-units/): Every new army in Age of Sigmar has a second story, and it is usually about what the old armies lose to make room. The duardin of the Khazalite Holds are the first story this week, and the Fyreslayers are the second. Photo by Lidya Işık, via Pexels. Bell of Lost Souls’ weekly Warhammer preview... - [D&D's Star Wars Line Gets Two Books: Core Rules and a Rebel Crew Adventure](https://tabletopintel.com/dds-star-wars-line-gets-two-books-core-rules-and-a-rebel-crew-adventure/): A small crew, a patched-up ship, and an Empire that outguns them. That’s the pitch for the first Star Wars adventure Dungeons & Dragons has shown us. Photo by SHVETS production, via Pexels. At the Disney and Lucasfilm publishing panel at New York Comic Con on October 9, Wizards of the Coast put names on... - [Your Hit Points Probably Started in a Naval Wargame](https://tabletopintel.com/your-hit-points-probably-started-in-a-naval-wargame/): In the first fantasy wargames, one hit could kill you. Your character was a figure on a table, and a single bad roll took it off. Photo by Vanderlei Longo, via Pexels. That is where Dave Arneson started. His Blackmoor campaign is the testing ground that Bell of Lost Souls credits as the soil Dungeons... - [Pokémon's Delta Reign Splits a Stadium Card in Two, But Keeps Both Halves in One Pack](https://tabletopintel.com/pokemons-delta-reign-splits-a-stadium-card-in-two-but-keeps-both-halves-in-one-pack/): Pokémon is selling a Stadium card in two pieces.

ICv2 also notes... - [How I Got Into Magic Twice, and Why Staying Is Harder Than Starting](https://tabletopintel.com/how-i-got-into-magic-twice-and-why-staying-is-harder-than-starting/): I’ll start with the nice part, because it’s true. Getting into Magic: The Gathering was one of the easiest things I’ve done in any hobby, and I’ve tried a lot of them. Woodworking, aquariums, books, computers and software. I go from one to the next. Magic is the one that kept pulling me back, and... - [The Bus Yard: Why Resistance: Fall of Man Was My Best Time in Gaming](https://tabletopintel.com/the-bus-yard-why-resistance-fall-of-man-was-my-best-time-in-gaming/): The best nights I ever had in gaming happened in a lobby where one shot from a shotgun was enough. I grew up on Nintendo. Then the Nintendo 64 came along, and nothing has topped it for me. GoldenEye with a few friends staying over, all of us trying to stay quiet so we wouldn’t... - [Magic Is Still Great. Keeping Up With It Is the Hard Part.](https://tabletopintel.com/magic-is-still-great-keeping-up-with-it-is-the-hard-part/): I love Magic: The Gathering. I’m saying that first because the rest of this might sound like I don’t. Magic was my first trading card game, played in a small town with a group of guys who seemed to have every card in the game memorized. Every mechanic, every counter. I loved Commander. I loved... - [Asmodee Release Calendar: October & November 2026 Board Game Launches](https://tabletopintel.com/asmodee-release-calendar-october-november-2026/): Asmodee’s release calendar and US pre-order store show a busy fall for board games, card games and miniatures.

On September 28th, preorders opened for Commander Deck:... - [Custodes' New Detachments Lead a Week Stacked With Rules Reveals — Plus a Dwarven Euro Worth Your Time](https://tabletopintel.com/custodes-new-detachments-lead-a-week-stacked-with-rules-reveals-plus-a-dwarven-euro-worth-your-time/): Games Workshop is running its now-familiar pre-codex drip campaign again, and this week the Adeptus Custodes got their turn in the spotlight. With Saturday bringing pre-orders (and the actual rules) for the third codex of 11th edition, GW used the days beforehand to reveal how the Emperor’s bodyguard will actually build their armies — and... - [Backgammon Is 5,000 Years Old, My Son Is 9, and We're Both Obsessed](https://tabletopintel.com/backgammon-is-5000-years-old-my-son-is-9-and-were-both-obsessed/): A deep dive into backgammon's ancient history, its wild mid-century golden age, how computers quietly rewired the way it's played -- and what actually happened when I tried teaching it to my nine-year-old. - [D&D Digs Into Its Own Past: Dragonlance's Return and Deadfall's Deep-Cut Monsters](https://tabletopintel.com/dd-digs-into-its-own-past-dragonlances-return-and-deadfalls-deep-cut-monsters/): It was a quiet 24 hours on the tabletop wire. Of everything the RSS feeds pulled in overnight, only two items actually cleared the bar for real news, and both happened to come from the same outlet, Bell of Lost Souls, digging into the same 50-year-old well: classic Dungeons & Dragons lore. Whatever else is... - [Magic Cancelled Its Cheap Star Trek Starter Box — the $55 Resin Dice Are Still Coming](https://tabletopintel.com/magic-cancelled-its-cheap-star-trek-starter-box-the-55-resin-dice-are-still-coming/): If you were hoping to get into Magic: The Gathering’s upcoming Star Trek crossover on the cheap, Wizards of the Coast has some bad news for you.

When Pokémon TCG’s 30th Celebration set launched worldwide on September 16th, secondary-market sellers were bracing for a windfall. Pre-release listings for the set’s flashiest chase card — a Mew rendered in a rainbow “RGB” foil treatment — were pulling... - [Maestro Media Wants to Rent You Its Publishing Machine — Terms Not Included](https://tabletopintel.com/maestro-media-wants-to-rent-you-its-publishing-machine-terms-not-included/): Ask a room full of aspiring game designers what’s standing between them and a published title, and most of them will tell you it’s the idea — the hook, the mechanism, the thing nobody’s done yet. Javon Frazier thinks they’ve got it exactly backwards. “The hardest part of this industry has never been the ideas,”... - [Games Workshop Accidentally Leaks New Khazalite Holds Dwarf Faction for Age of Sigmar](https://tabletopintel.com/games-workshop-accidentally-leaks-new-khazalite-holds-dwarf-faction-for-age-of-sigmar/): Games Workshop is usually the tightest ship in the hobby when it comes to guarding its own reveals — leaks tend to come from factory workers, freight manifests, or an over-eager retailer, not the company itself. So it was a little funny to watch GW do the leaking this time. On September 13th, the Irish... - [Steve Jackson Hands Off the CEO Chair at His Own Company After 46 Years](https://tabletopintel.com/steve-jackson-hands-off-the-ceo-chair-at-his-own-company-after-46-years/): Here’s a piece of news that could easily read as a routine org-chart shuffle, but we don’t think it is: Steve Jackson, the guy whose name is literally on the building, just stepped down as CEO of Steve Jackson Games. He’s not going anywhere — he keeps his titles of founder and President, and by... - [Catan Is Coming to the NHL — and Bringing a German Handball Star Along For the Ride](https://tabletopintel.com/catan-is-coming-to-the-nhl-and-bringing-a-german-handball-star-along-for-the-ride/): Somewhere between “settle an island” and “check the boards,” Catan has apparently decided its next expansion isn’t a card set — it’s a hockey rink. The Ottawa Senators just announced a season-long partnership with the board game, complete with arena advertising, concourse activations, social media giveaways, and a full “Catan Night” on November 23rd when... - [Wizards of the Coast Has No President, and Now One of Its Top Executives Has Left](https://tabletopintel.com/wizards-of-the-coast-doesnt-currently-have-a-boss-and-nobody-seems-too-worried-about-it/): Here’s a fun one to chew on: Wizards of the Coast, the company behind both Magic: The Gathering and Dungeons & Dragons, doesn’t have a president, and now it has lost one of the executives who ran its business day to day. John Hight, who’d held the job since 2024, walked away on September 1st.... - [Latest Trends in Tabletop Gaming: News, Reviews, and Products](https://tabletopintel.com/latest-trends-in-tabletop-gaming-news-reviews-and-products/): The Current State of Tabletop Gaming Tabletop gaming remains one of the fastest-growing corners of the hobby industry, with board games, trading card games, and tabletop RPGs all seeing steady new releases through the back half of 2026.
