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

Posted on by Leave a comment

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.

Gen Con 2026: D&D Beyond Adds New Features and the Dungeons & Dragons Partnership Expands

Posted on by Leave a comment
D&D Beyond

Wizards of the Coast tackled one of Dungeons & Dragons’ greatest barriers to entry head-on by announcing and launching a new Looking For Group feature on D&D Beyond. Players now have three simple ways to find a D&D group: find local in-person events through an event finder, form tables with the online community via the D&D Discord server or find professional Dungeon Masters through a new partnership between D&D Beyond and StartPlaying. The StartPlaying partnership helps players immediately find a D&D game that’s right for them with a highly trained Dungeon Master waiting to take them on an adventure for the first time. For those first-time adventurers new to playing D&D or D&D Beyond online, Wizards of the Coast announced a special promotion where for a limited time, you can find and join a game on StartPlaying for $0.99. More information is available on the D&D Beyond website.

In addition to helping players find a group, the D&D Beyond team also unveiled a brand-new mobile app experience built on top of a new game platform that will be geared towards in-person play.  This mobile experience is completely redesigned from the ground up to make it easier and more intuitive to play D&D your way. Look forward to this release in early 2027. 

NEW PARTNERSHIP: 

The Dungeons & Dragons team announced a new partnership program, working with studios across the tabletop game industry to bring official, annual TTRPG support for D&D’s most iconic campaign settings. Initial partnerships include Ghostfire Gaming with a new Ravenloft release (2027) and Visionary Productions with Eberron (2028) and Kobold Press with the Forgotten Realms (2028). In the years ahead, the program will expand to include additional settings, ensuring D&D’s most popular settings are all supported for their biggest fans.

Gen Con 2026: Wizards of the Coast announces “Icons,” A New Creative Program Led by D&D’s Luminaries

Posted on by Leave a comment

During Wizards of the Coast‘s presentation during Gen Con 2026, writer, producer, and actor Joe Manganiello took the stage to announce his new role as Chief Creative Officer of D&D Icons, a new content program that brings legendary D&D creatives, including Margaret Weis, Tracy Hickman, and Luke Gygax, back to the table to work hands-on with fan-favorite settings.

Dragonlance

One of the Icons projects announced on stage returns to one of the most influential fantasy settings of all time: Dragonlance, bringing back its original creators to direct a Dragonlance TTRPG product for the first time in over 20 years. Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman are working hand-in-hand on a new Dragonlance TTRPG book, compiling 40 years of knowledge and lore into the most ambitious Dragonlance volume ever.

Greyhawk

Also under the Icons banner, Luke Gygax took the Gen Con stage to announce a new project built from never-before-seen, unfinished content left behind by his father and original D&D creator Gary Gygax. Luke will complete an adventure through his father’s eyes, tying back to Gary Gygax’s own vision, available as early as 2027.

The Legend of Drizzt

RA Salvatore, whose books appeared more than 20 times on the New York Times bestseller list, announced that he will be working under the Icons program to bring back the most legendary Drow in the Forgotten Realms, Drizzt Do Urden.

Death Saves

Manganiello is launching a TTRPG world rooted in the dark fantasy art style and aesthetic he developed for his heavy metal / fantasy streetwear line, DEATH SAVES, as an official D&D collaboration under his ICONS banner.

GREYHAWK: CROWN OF THE WITCH QUEEN

Greyhawk continued as a theme at Gen Con with the reveal of Greyhawk: Crown of the Witch Queen. In this brand-new adventure, players return to the setting where it all began to decide Greyhawk’s fate amid the return and ascent of Drelnza, the vampire daughter of Iggwilv the Witch Queen—perhaps better known as Tasha—as she seeks to claim her birthright.

GREYHAWK: CROWN OF THE WITCH QUEEN

WARLOCK: DUNGEONS & DRAGONS – TASHA REVEALED

Fans of Tasha got a double reveal at Gen Con: her role in the upcoming Warlock: Dungeons & Dragons video game was confirmed, with award-winning actor Maggie Robertson stepping into the role through voice and performance capture, opposite Tricia Helfer (Battlestar Galactica, Lucifer), who leads the game as Kaatri. Warlock: Dungeons & Dragons is an original third-person, single-player action-adventure game set in a dark fantasy open world inspired by Dungeons & Dragons. Developed by Invoke Studios, the game casts players as Kaatri, a veteran warrior who makes a pact to wield otherworldly magic against dark powers. Fans were also treated to a surprise announcement that the first look at gameplay is coming on August 25th as part of Opening Night Live at gamescom.

Gen Con 2026: Dungeons & Dragons returns to the brutal Dark Sun

Posted on by Leave a comment
Dark Sun

During Gen Con 2026, Wizards of the Coast introduced the next era of Dungeons & Dragons in front of a packed, live audience and streaming fans. The night of announcements included the introduction of a new Universes Beyond initiative that kicks off this November with the launch of Dungeons & Dragons: World of Warcraft. Other Gen Con announcements spanned an array of D&D classics, including the return of the brutal and mature Dark Sun setting; D&D Icons, a new creative initiative helmed by some of the game’s original stewards; a brand new mobile experience for D&D Beyond; and updates across D&D’s digital and video game platforms, charting a wide-ranging future for D&D fans old and new to come together at the table. The night was capped off by a surprise reveal that Star Wars will come to D&D in 2027.

Players looking for a more mature and brutal D&D setting got an answer at Gen Con as well: Coming in 2027 is a suite of new products for Dark Sun, the cult-classic, post-apocalyptic setting. Anchoring the Season of Survival, the Dark Sun books and accessories invite players to face off against tyrannical sorcerer-kings and survive the blood-soaked wastes of Athas.
