RPG Print News – Heward’s Handy Haversack, Modiphius, and More

This is my hundredth RPG Print News and everything is fantasy this week. That is both profound and really not related to anyone’s real life in any meaningful way. So I included a Heward’s Handy Haversack (only magical on Oerth) made of Silver Dragon scales. D&D falls in love, and Pathfinder 2nd Edition goes Special Edition with a previous title. Modiphius has more Conan - Adventures in an Age Undreamed Of support with two new books and Mork Borg gets a creepy crawly dungeon. Goblins get their own fantasy RPG. Finally, Fantasy Trip gets all the things: playmats, maps, journals, cards, and more.
