Allplay Launches a New Edition Of High Society, Designed By Dr. Reiner Knizia

High Society

Allplay, publisher of board games like River Valley Glassworks, Mountain Goats, and Container, has released High Society.

The game is a new edition of the well-acclaimed auction game, originally released in 1995. Three to five players compete in auctions to gain points, earn point modifiers, and avoid negative cards. The player that bids the most across the entire game is eliminated; the remaining player that scores the most points wins.

While the core gameplay is largely unchanged, three new cards have been introduced in Allplay’s edition. These cards allow you to double your money before elimination or return money cards from the discard pile. The cards were designed by the original creator—Dr. Reiner Knizia.

High Society has an MSRP of $20.

DRS is Publishing Demonheart – The First Major Adventure for Daggerheart!

Demonheart - The Vile Codex for Daggerheart

Dream Realm Storytellers (DRS), known for their immersive 5E worlds (Svilland, Bloodpunk, Corpus Collection, and Silverplate) has announced their newest project, Demonheart – The Vile Codex for Daggerheart. Demonheart is a 3-book codex with over 450 pages, a new class, 7 new domains, 66 new subclasses, a Hellish setting, a full adventure, and more for Daggerheart.

This project marks DRS’ first descent into Daggerheart, a system originally created by Critical Role. It will include the first major adventure ever written for the Daggerheart system, and embraces an edgy, unflinching plunge into a biblical Hell that is very dark and very gory. Players descend into a brutal infernal metropolis of torture, execution gardens, and endless chains, taking on the roles of the damned themselves. With subclasses inspired by the Seven Deadly Sins and a new Sin Domain mechanic, Demonheart challenges players to face demonic legions and terrifying tyrants as they ascend the ladders of damnation.

Demonheart embraces themes of corruption and damnation, pushing players toward uncomfortable, high-stakes choices. It will include unusual mechanics, like instructions for turning player characters into demons, for example. Centered on narrative play, Demonheart’s story evolves through the choices players make. Players actively shape the tone of the game by building Hope or inviting Fear, turning every roll into a meaningful story.

Highlights include:

  • Three books, each 150 pages
  • Demonheart supplement book for new mechanics
  • Demonheart setting book with descriptions of Hell and its inhabitants
  • New Daggerheart content
  • Unusual Mechanics
  • Dark Themes
  • Narrative Depth

Demonheart – The Vile Codex for Daggerheart will be launching on Kickstarter on April 21, 2026, with exclusive early backer rewards and limited-edition goodies that fans won’t want to miss.

Game Brands Acquires Off Duty Ninja

Off Duty Ninja.

Game Brands, a full-service digital marketing agency for tabletop companies, has announced it has acquired Off Duty Ninja, the crowdfunding specialist behind more than 100 tabletop campaigns that have raised over $25 million. The acquisition brings one of the most experienced campaign operators in board-game crowdfunding into Game Brands’ platform, expanding its ability to support publishers from early audience development through campaign launch and post-campaign growth.

The move reflects a broader shift in tabletop publishing, where successful crowdfunding campaigns increasingly depend on coordinated marketing, audience development, and data-driven launch strategy. Following the acquisition, the combined operations will continue under the Off Duty Ninja brand, reflecting its strong reputation within the tabletop crowdfunding community. By bringing Off Duty Ninja’s campaign expertise into its operations, Game Brands strengthens its ability to help publishers navigate a more competitive crowdfunding landscape and reach backers more effectively across digital channels.

Founded in 2018 and based in Fishers, Indiana, Off Duty Ninja became a trusted partner for tabletop publishers seeking to launch and scale crowdfunding campaigns. With its founder now embarking on new ventures, the acquisition ensures that Off Duty Ninja’s campaign expertise and industry relationships will continue under Game Brands.

Game Brands was founded to help board-game creators reach larger audiences and bring great games to market. For more than seven years, Off Duty Ninja has been an important part of that ecosystem. Bringing our teams together allows us to combine our resources and industry relationships to better support tabletop publishers.

Ryan Eichenwald, President of Game Brands, based in Cambridge, Mass.

The acquisition adds Off Duty Ninja’s expertise in crowdfunding, social media, and email marketing, along with its network across the tabletop publishing community.

I’m thrilled that Off Duty Ninja will continue its mission with Ryan and the Game Brands team. For more than seven years we’ve helped creators bring their games to life through crowdfunding and digital marketing, and this partnership gives the brand the resources and reach to do even more for the tabletop community.

Pirate Borg Sets Sail with Down Among the Dead Expansion and Starter Set, Now Available

Free League Publishing and Limithron have launched the Down Among the Dead expansion for Pirate Borg, alongside the Pirate Borg Starter Set and Gamemaster Screen, bringing new adventures and tools to the scurvy-ridden tabletop RPG. The new range is now available for purchase in the Free League webshop and in hobby stores worldwide. Digital copies are also for sale through DriveThruRPG.

Pirate Borg sends players on a terrible journey across the high seas, as they raid, pillage, and plunder their way toward infamy. The newly released Down Among the Dead expansion presents three full-length adventures across 148 pages, introducing terrifying challenges, new discoveries, and untold booty for daring crews to claim.

For those new to the life of a pirate, the Pirate Borg Starter Set provides an accessible entry point to the rules-light RPG. The set includes a Player’s Guidebook, the deluxe Trapped in the Tropics adventure, and a full collection of accessories designed to get players sailing quickly into the cutthroat world of Pirate Borg.

The tabletop experience can also be enhanced with the official Gamemaster Screen—a five-panel screen that folds down to A5 size, featuring original artwork, glow-in-the-dark elements, and quick reference materials to support play during campaigns.

Designed by Limithron and published under Free League, Pirate Borg is a scurvy-ridden, rules-light, and art-heavy tabletop RPG, inspired by history, fantasy, horror, and rum. 

In true pirate fashion, players take on the role of greedy, filthy scoundrels sailing the high seas in search of treasure. Beginning with humble resources, pirate crews must acquire a ship, recruit companions, and raid ports, forts, and rival vessels to make a name for themselves.

As each campaign unfolds, players can upgrade vessels, uncover hidden treasure, and grow in notoriety—though danger lurks everywhere beneath the waves. With monstrous threats and deadly encounters awaiting at every turn, fallen pirates are encouraged to roll up new characters and chart a fresh course.

Pirate Borg includes a 166-page core book featuring eight character classes, easy-to-learn naval combat rules, stats for 18 vessels, more than 80 NPCs and monsters, 90+ system-agnostic tables, and the sandbox adventure The Curse of Skeleton Point, spanning 11 pirate-themed locations.

Determined to save it, Phoebe hatches a plan that accidentally rockets her alien sister, Luna, into interstellar superstardom. Overnight, the Lunar Link is swarmed with tourists, the perils of fame close in, and Nova Starr, the galaxy’s most ruthless influencer, is plotting to claw the spotlight back by any means necessary. With the forces of fame, fortune, and cutthroat rivals pulling from every direction, Phoebe must keep her family’s future from being blown into stardust.

Blending colorful worldbuilding with sharp commentary on celebrity culture, Solar Sisters explores the complicated balance between ambition, identity, and the pursuit of happiness while delivering a story packed with humor, heart, and high-stakes cosmic chaos.

Beyond the graphic novel, Solar Sisters is expanding to include an original K-Pop EP, Nova Starr: Solar Cyclone, produced by Amit Tishler and music composer Alon Kaplan, and the tabletop game Stardom: The Solar Sisters Game from Lichenwood Games and 10 Forward Productionslaunching soon on Kickstarter.
