Tabletop RPG Press Releases

Two graduate students are creating a tool that will help you to build and load a 3D environment for your game in under a minute!   NEW YORK - Two NYU graduate students, Joanna Liu and Rivelle Levine, were doing their thesis research on tabletop gaming and realized a gap between the current gaming tools and players' dream tools. They set their minds to make a dream map-creation tool that is one step closer to the future vision of a holographic tabletop. The result is Cartographr, a social media platform that provides a more affordable and a more immersive experience for tabletop role-play gamers. Powered by Augmented Reality technology and shareable user-generated content, the app makes collaborative virtual world creation seamless by using intuitive drag and drop gestures, on the devices players already own. Users can manipulate complex digital 3D environments in real space with a single finger. They are planning to launch a Kickstarter campaign on Feb 26, 2021. "I really appr...

Stamford, CT, February 13, 2021 : Ushering in 2021 and trying to forget 2020, we’re pleased to announce our latest 5E RPG monster book, Time Travel Adventures . You can purchase it here .   So you messed up and killed your entire party. Wouldn't you like to go back in time to fix things? Thanks to chronomancy, now you can! This campaign setting features two new species; 5 new subclasses; 20 new monsters; and over 70 new chronomancy spells. Also included are rules for including time travel in your campaign, paradox, and the effects of lifelines and the Temporal Plane.   But be careful. Time travel isn't for the faint of heart, and the consequences of messing with time can invoke a paradox that can have unforeseen consequences. Worse, several time-traveling species jealously guard the timestream and execute trespassers with extreme prejudice. Still, a chance to fix things may be too good to pass up. So what are you waiting for? Grab your timepiece and that laser pistol yo...

2020 was a difficult year for so many reasons. The near-universal condemnation of 2020 can be deafening, so I’m going to shift the conversation a bit instead.

For the CAR-PGA, that extends to our games too. https://car-pga.org/2021/01/10/car-pga-newsletter-vol-30-no-1-january-2021/
