Warcradle Studios’ September Releases: The Commonwealth Has Amassed Its Fleet

Dystopian Wars welcomes the return of a colossal power to the new edition of the game, as the Commonwealth Starter Set releases in September. Packed full of ships, this box is a great way to build up a fleet of your design, as it serves as a toolkit to build the variants you desire to crush your opponents.

The Crown Raj Battlegroup for Armoured Clash is also releasing in September, introducing formidable Indian units to the Crown’s increasing arsenal.

The Commonwealth Starter Set contains everything a new Admiral might need to serve the Commonwealth. Even veterans of the high seas will find this box set a worthwhile addition to their collections.

The Arkangel Command Cruiser serves as the beating heart of the White Navy, its sophisticated coordination systems allowing it to marshal Commonwealth battlefleets with ease.

The Crown Raj Battlegroup arms your Crown force with ever more potent weapons with which to enact Queen Victoria’s will.

The fearless Rifle Platoons of the Indian Raj lay claim to key strategic positions, immovable and proud as they unleash unforgiving volleys against any who dare come too close.

Above them, the incendiary shots of Merlin Railgun Artillery streak across the battlefield at impossible speeds.

Paizo and DriveThruRPG Expand their Partnership to offer Paizo’s Full Title Catalog

Paizo and DriveThruRPG have expanded their partnership to offer Paizo’s full title catalog in PDF from both DriveThruRPG and the Pathfinder and Starfinder Infinite marketplaces. Over 1,200 Pathfinder and Starfinder titles will now be available as PDF, with printed options and connections to Paizo’s store coming soon. These PDFs include the latest Pathfinder and Starfinder second edition remastered titles, as well as first edition materials, fiction, and audiobooks. This will give players the chance to dive deeper into the world of Golarion or the Pact Worlds, opening up new adventures and creativity to bring to the table.

Paizo and DriveThruRPG have a long history of working together, most notably on the Pathfinder and Starfinder Infinite programs and marketplaces which offer independent creators the opportunity to publish works within the official Pathfinder and Starfinder settings. Until now however, Paizo’s own official titles were not available on DriveThruRPG.

The companies also announced that in the months ahead, DriveThruRPG would also offer most Paizo titles for sale in print, and that the companies would be implementing Paizo Connect. With Paizo Connect, customers will have the option to connect their accounts at Paizo’s website with DriveThruRPG and sync their PDF libraries and purchases across both sites. Ownership of PDFs offer Paizo fans several benefits with Paizo and its licensed partners, while ownership on DriveThruRPG allows fans the conveniences of DriveThruRPG’s library including apps to keep your library up to date on PCs and devices.

The collaboration continues later this year with collections inspired by two more fan-favorite adventuring parties from the world of Exandria.

🐔💀 MURDER CHICKENS: THE CARD GAME 💀🐔

The chickens have gone completely insane.

In Murder Chickens, your goal is simple: be the first player to get rid of all your cards.

Unfortunately, the chickens have other plans.

Attack your opponents. Steal their cards. Reverse the direction of play. Skip turns. Swap entire hands. And whatever you do, DON’T LET THE CHAOS METER REACH 10.

Because that’s when things get really bad.

At Chaos Level 3, attacks get stronger. At 6, you can start playing two cards at once. At 9, every attack targets EVERYONE. And at 10?

GOD HAS ABANDONED THE COOP.

Everyone throws away their hand and draws five new cards.

But that’s not all. You’ve got Chainsaw Chickens, Rabid Hens, Egg Bursts, Feather Storms, Apocalypse Hens, The Rooster King, and the ultimate act of chicken-based destruction: TOTAL COOP FAILURE.

Easy to learn. Fast to play. Completely unpredictable.

And if you’re brave enough to play Apocalypse Mode, you’re racing toward 666 points. Land on EXACTLY 666 and you don’t just win…

You become the GOD OF THE CHICKEN APOCALYPSE.

Gather your flock. Start the apocalypse.

Games Workshop Pre-Order Preview: The Ogor Mawtribes are coming for Warhammer: Age of Sigmar

It’s a Warhammer: Age of Sigmar focused week coming up as the Ogor Mawtribes get a new Battletome and a load of new figures. See what’s coming for pre-order next week from Games Workshop.

Morga the Mighty is one of the most fearsome ogor warlords alive, and enforces her iron dominion with ruthless violence from the back of her personal glutthorn, Grutta. Some say she is even the chosen champion of the Gulping God, though Morga herself pays the ramblings of Butchers little heed. The multi-part plastic kit can also be assembled as a Tyrant on Glutthorn, with multiple build options and the choice of leaving the mount armoured or unarmoured.

  • Morga the Mighty

Standing behind his enormous cauldron, Redd the Maw commands the awe and attention of the Mawtribes as the High Slaughtermaster and, if his tales are to be believed, one of the few to see their god with his own eyes. The intoxicating fumes from his brew whip nearby ogors into a blood-crazed frenzy, while Redd himself calls upon the power of savage gut magic.

Redd the Maw

Ogors often travel the world as mercenaries, and Grell Firefist is one of the most experienced around. Her massive cannon can shred entire units of infantry in one deafening blast – an explosion so loud that it gives other ogors the chance to break away from combat unharmed.

Grell Firefist

Lead your ogors to a crushing victory with the new multi-part plastic Tyrant. These brutal warlords lead from the front and command absolute obedience from their tribe, splitting skulls and severing limbs with wide sweeps of their deadly weapons. The Tyrant kit comes with an assortment of cosmetic parts, including two gut plates, three heads, two sets of weapons for each hand, and two separate back banners.

Tyrant

Call upon the primal power of gut magic with the ogor Butcher – a savage spellcaster who channels the power of the Gulping God into potent attacks and supporting enchantments. Each one comes with a choice of two heads, with or without a hood, and is packed with gory details.

Butcher

Ironguts are the elite warriors of an ogor tribe, clad in extremely heavy armour and armed with a selection of simple, brutal weapons. They make excellent bodyguards for your Heroes, and each pack of three comes with a wide variety of cosmetic parts to choose from including weapons, heads, and more.

Ironguts

As the rank and file of an ogor war horde – or the closest thing to it – Gluttons are straightforward in their desire for battle: simply smash, eat, rinse and repeat. You get five in a box, and each one can choose from a sword, hammer, right or left knuckle-dusters, different heads, and all sorts of optional cosmetic parts. One even gets to swing a massive two-handed hammer around, living their best life.

Gluttons

Cleavers are among the most zealous devotees of the Gulping God, and trawl the battlefield looking for suitable ‘ingredients’ on their neverending journey of reverential consumption. Even more unsettling and twice as macabre are the Gutseers, whose droning chants distract enemy wizards and priests, while their connection to fonts of gut magic lets Butchers channel their spells through the Gutseer cult. This new multi-part plastic kit can build either a unit of three Cleavers or a unit of three Gutseers, with cosmetic options for the Cleavers.

  • Warhammer Age of Sigmar – Cleavers/Gutseers
  • Warhammer Age of Sigmar – Cleavers/Gutseers

Hunt the enemy like wild animals with Maulbeast Raiders or smash their battle line apart with Maulbeast Cavalry, whichever tickles your fancy. Each kit builds two Raiders or two Cavalry, with several customization options for each.

  • Warhammer Age of Sigmar – Maulbeast Raiders/Maulbeast Cavalry
  • Warhammer Age of Sigmar – Maulbeast Raiders/Maulbeast Cavalry

Ogors that feel more at home in the wilds than their loud and boisterous camps band together as units of Hunters, who pick off choice enemy targets with enormous crossbows while their pet Sabrefangs snap at anyone foolish enough to get too close. Each box builds three Hunters and two Sabrefangs, with options for bare or helmeted heads and a vulture companion for the optional unit champion.

Warhammer Age of Sigmar – Hunters with Sabrefangs

The Mantrapper is an excellent marksman who uses the heavy chained bolts fed into his crossbow to pin down enemy units, slowing their charges and preventing flying foes from taking off altogether, while his devious minions distract and disrupt their prey.

Warhammer Age of Sigmar – Mantrapper

Send some mercenary ogor cavalry to assist your Destruction armies with Okar’s Torrbad, a new Regiment of Renown set. This band of brutal killers is made up of a Huskard on Stonehorn and a Thundertusk Beastrider, whose connection to frosty elementals lets them guide units through freezing storms with preternatural ease.

Warhammer Age of Sigmar – Okar’s Torrbad

The rules you need for the newcomers above and a bounty of ogor lore can be found in Battletome: Ogor Mawtribes, which is packed with warscrolls, battle traits, spell lores, and tons of awesome artwork. You can get this essential accompaniment to an ogor army in both its regular hardback edition and the Gamer’s Edition release, which includes a portable, softback version of the battletome alongside a full set of warscroll cards for the faction.

Warhammer Age of Sigmar – Battletome: Ogor Mawtribes

Ogor Mawtribes Dice allows you to show your allegiance to the mawtribes – and their ever-hungry leaders – by picking up a set of 16 dice cast in frosted grey plastic with black pips and the faction symbol on the six face. Trust us, they’re much easier to roll (and clean) than real knucklebones.

Horus Heresy Saga: False Gods

From Noah van Nguyen, Blood of the Godeater, the hotly anticipated sequel to The Godeater’s Son is here, as Heldanarr Fall finds himself at odds with his nature as a brutal slayer. After finding two infant children alive in the ruins of a ransacked settlement, Heldanarr knows that he must protect them, but with rival Chaos Lords circling and rumours of Hammerhal’s legions on the march, he may have to turn to a being that would sooner have him slaughter to his last breath: Khorne, the god of blood, murder, and endless war.

Allplay announces the first game in its “Masterworks” line, Dominant Species!

Allplay has announced a new “Masterworks” line of games in partnership with artist Ian O’Toole. The first game announced for it is Dominant Species!

Dominant Species was released in 2010 and considered a modern classic. Designed by Chad Jensen, each player assumes the role of one of six major animal classes and through placement on a board, strive to become dominant on as many different terrain tiles as possible. It all builds to the ice age where the player who accumulates the most victory points will have their animal crowned the Dominant Species!

The game has been published by numerous publishers and while highly rated and regarded, it’s a pretty complex game with games lasting many hours.

It’s also the type of game that is perfect for Kickstarter and higher quality production and price point.

You can sign up now to find out when it launches and compete and adapt to become the dominant species!

Maestro Media announces Half Truth: Second Guess from Ken Jennings and Richard Garfield

Half Truth: Second Guess

Maestro Media and Nighthawk Interactive have announced Half Truth: Second Guess, a brand-new standalone game in the trivia series created by legendary game designer Richard Garfield and Jeopardy! champion and host Ken Jennings. The next evolution of the Half Truth franchise debuted at Gen Con.

Building on the success of the original Half Truth, Half Truth: Second Guess introduces fresh categories, surprising question design, and exciting new gameplay twists that reward both knowledge and intuition. Designed for parties, families, and trivia lovers alike, the game challenges players to think critically, trust their instincts, and sometimes take their best second guess.

In Half Truth: Second Guess, players are presented with fascinating questions featuring six possible answers; three correct and three incorrect. Players score points by selecting the right answers, but the deeper strategy comes from deciding how confident they truly are and whether to lock in their choices or rethink them before it’s too late.

Unlike the original Half Truth, which features a one-versus-one format, Half Truth: Second Guess introduces new ways to play, including team battles and 2-vs-2 gameplay. Players must work together, weigh their confidence, and decide when to trust their instincts or take a strategic second guess.

Players are tasked to do the following:

Test Their Knowledge
● Players answer unique trivia questions spanning history, pop culture, science, entertainment, geography, and more, where every question includes multiple possible answers.

Take Smart Risks
● Players score points for correct answers, but must decide whether to play it safe or push their luck for bigger rewards.

Outthink the Table
● Success isn’t just about knowing facts: it’s about reading the room, making educated guesses, and knowing when to trust a second instinct.

Designed as a fast-paced and highly social experience, Half Truth: Second Guess keeps all players engaged throughout the game, whether they are lifelong trivia experts or simply great at deduction and intuition. The streamlined format makes it easy to teach while offering enough depth and variety to keep every session fresh.

With a streamlined design and a price point approximately half the cost of the original game, Half Truth: Second Guess makes the series more accessible to new players while delivering the same mix of knowledge, strategy, and unexpected moments that fans love.

Half Truth: Second Guess will be co-published by Maestro Media and Nighthawk Interactive and continues the franchise’s mission of making trivia more accessible, dynamic, and fun for every type of player.
