GenCon 2025 TTRPG announcement speculation thread!

Ooh, ooh! Stephen Colbert's new gig is in the role-playing world.

Honestly, come next summer, I could see him deciding to knock something out for fun. (I don't expect he'll go hungry any more than Conan O'Brien did. Opportunities are almost certainly lining up outside his door as we speak.)

Daggerheart: release of the announced homebrew kit and likely some supplement announced.

They already started to build hype by releasing a (very good) playtest packet a few hours ago with some great news stuff as well as some iterated improvements.

I’d be surprised if several late night hosts and comedians didn’t form their own studio in the next year.

The return of Strike Force Five!

Free League said they are making an announcement so im guessing....

Jokes aside, Francesco Nepitello mentioned in a recent interview that they will be announcing the next release for The One Ring at GenCon.

D&D is retiring the DMG, because their new AI app renders DMs obsolete?

Ironically, I'd love to hear about a companion app that allows one to role-play Light No Fire parallel to the CRPG.

May I say, I do like the cut of your jib.

For my bit I think we are going to get a big Daggerheart adventure by Chris Perkins.

Well get Macintosh support for the 3d vttt.

MCDM rpg big adventure book? Book of adventures?

Organized play for Shadowdark!

WotC announced that they will announce (YES!) several of the upcoming 3pps coming to DnD Beyond. I expect this will include new Darrington Press stuff

Organized play for Shadowdark!

I was going to say this seems ambitious, but Pirate Borg has a limited organized play system in place, and Shadowdark could probably do something comparable, depending on how many employees Arcane Library has.

Are we likely to get WotC announcements on upcoming products, or do they tend to do it later in the year?

I'm most interested in Daggerheart material, I just want more stuff. PC content (The stuff in the Void is looking good), but also DM content. Environments, Adversaries, Campaign Frames. But also maybe more conventional adventures?
