Fallout: Royal Flush is coming later 2025 and Fallout gets a solo TTRPG game, Lone Wanderer

Fallout TTRPG

Publisher of tabletop roleplaying games, wargames and board games, Modiphius Entertainment has shared that the previously announced campaign book for the popular tabletop roleplaying game for Bethesda’s Fallout, Royal Flush will now be released in Q4 2025.

Royal Flush takes players back to New Vegas and the Mojave Wasteland, where they will discover and attempt to dismantle a plot to bring war back to the West. Starting in New Reno—as all good stories do—by finding a body in a ditch, the players will deal with the criminal underbelly of the city, hired to find out what happened, and investigating the sudden boom in military grade firearms suddenly in the hands of the least likely, and most bloodthirsty, groups in the area. With so many bullets available, old tensions begin to rise, and it is only a matter of time before that much firepower causes the entire Mojave to explode, unless someone does something about it. The campaign book will give players the opportunity to visit New Vegas and explore a new region of the Mojave.

The publisher has also announced that a solo roleplaying title is in development under the name Lone Wanderer. Based on Bethesda’s hugely successful Fallout series, it will use a similar format to the popular Modiphius game, Star Trek Adventures’ Captain’s Log, allowing players to record their adventures and play an RPG in the wasteland without the need for a gamemaster.

Lone Wanderer will be based on the 2d20 System, and will procedurally generate a story for players that allows them to explore the wasteland as their character emerges from a Vault-Tec vault, immersing them in the post-atomic United States without a group or GM. Players will also be able to play as a number of other Fallout characters, like survivors, ghouls, super mutants, and robots.  The solo edition is due to be released in 2026.

Modiphius also has plans to develop and publish sourcebooks for the tabletop RPG that delve further into the history and geography of the different discrete areas of the wasteland, from New California and the Mojave, to the Capital Wasteland, the Commonwealth, and the Appalachian Wasteland.

Magnetic Press Partners with French Design Studio Label 619 for an Exclusive First-Look Partnership

619 Label and Magnetic Press

Magnetic Press has announced an exclusive first-look partnership with the renowned French design studio Label 619. This collaboration marks a significant milestone for both companies as they bring innovative and visually stunning stories to life.

Label 619, known for its unique blend of manga-inspired character designs and pulpy, urban tales in a variety of genres, has captivated audiences with titles such as Guillaume Singelin’s Éco-Fauve Raja Award-winning Frontier, Carbon & Silicon as well as Shangri-La by Mathieu Bablet. Magnetic Press will work with Label 619 to expand its library of compelling narratives and showcase even more of the label’s captivating work.

Label 619 has been producing original graphic novels since 2008 with a focus and dedication to pulp and pop culture, from gritty high fantasy and science fiction to contemporary urban drama and horror. The name of the label refers to the area code of San Diego, an iconic place for comics in the US. They have produced over 60 titles, series, and spinoffs since their inception, and their catalog includes vinyl figures, music, and other related merchandise in their portfolio. They are currently managed by Rue de Sevres, one of the leading graphic novel publishing houses in France.

The first project under this partnership will be a complete collection of the label’s seminal release, MFKZ. This title originated as an award-winning animated short created by Run in 2003 before growing into a 5-volume, 440-page tale of dystopian Los Angeles (renamed “Dark Meat City”) and a massive conspiracy involving an alien invasion, masked wrestlers, and street gangs. The popularity of the series and animated short led to the 2018 feature-length animated film MFKZ co-produced by celebrated Japanese production house Studio 4c (currently available on Amazon and YouTube).  More details about this new collection will be revealed in the coming months.
