GenCon 2025 TTRPG announcement speculation thread!

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
Why do you expect DnD Beyond contain anything from Darrington Press? DnD Beyond is, like the name implies, all about D&D whereas Darrington Press is going full steam ahead with Daggerheart.

Why do you expect DnD Beyond contain anything from Darrington Press? DnD Beyond is, like the name implies, all about D&D whereas Darrington Press is going full steam ahead with Daggerheart.
There's literally Darrington Press stuff in DnD Beyond right now.

Hiring two of the three most significant people behind 5e indicates to me that Darrington isn't abandoning D&D, but likely to increase their presence in the most popular TTRPG ruleset of all time.
Additionally, DP is so focused on Daggerheart that they are releasing a new game at GenCon and continuing to talk about Candela Obscura at GenCon.
There are zero indications that they only care about a single game.

Existing stuff, yes. But I wouldn’t expect new stuff.

While they might do a Mearls that did some 5E stuff for Chaosium that’s now on DnD Beyond, I’m not so sure that Perkins and Crawford joined Darrington Press to keep working on 5E. I would expect to see other games and products with their names on them, but if they wanted to keep doing 5E they could’ve stayed at WotC unlike Mearls that didn’t have a say in the matter.
 


Pendragon Magnum Opus edition will be available for the first time at Gen Con - Chaosium booth #511

An all-new range of RuneQuest miniatures will be available for purchase for the first time at Gen Con. These minis cover a number of player characters, trolls, and evil broo enemies. This is an exclusive first look at the miniature range before the launch of a Kickstarter in the near future. These minis are available for purchase only at ICC #139.
