It’s a news roundup this week on the Goblins and Growlers Podcast! We’ve got a few nuggets from Wizards of the Coast (including that Pinkerton situation with the pre-release Magic: The Gathering Cards) and a Pathfinder update along with some interesting news from smaller and indie publishers, including a fantastic Kickstarter for a fishing “DLC” for your 5e game.
Also! We have a big Spring Sale going on at our Big Cartel store! Most things are 10 percent off and you can use the code "GRAVYBOAT" for free shipping in the continental U.S. We’re trying to make some...

Also! We have a big Spring Sale going on at our Big Cartel store! Most things are 10 percent off and you can use the code "GRAVYBOAT" for free shipping in the continental U.S. We’re trying to make some space to order new merch for the convention season that begins in the fall, so help us thin things out by grabbing some of our shirt designs before we finally retire them. Plus, pick up some awesome indie RPGs from our friend, Brazilian game designer Cezar Capacle.

TOPICS BELOW:
----more----
- Andrew Kolb's “Neverland” and “Oz” RPG setting books. We love taking a setting, especially something in the public domain, and creating a game world around them. We discuss what game worlds we’d want to create and play in. What about you?
- Pathfinder 2E is getting a remaster. What does that mean and what changes players can expect? They’re condensing some materials and eliminating the last vestiges of the Open Gaming License from their books in favor of their home-grown ORC License – the fallout from January continues!
- We also touch on the new D&D Playtest materials, including the Barbarian, Fighter, Sorcerer (no more bloodlines), Warlock, and Wizard (with simplified subclass names such as "Evoker" instead of "School of Evocation"). All materials are free on the D&D Unearthed Arcana page, and public comment is open until May 17th.
- Wizards of the Coast sent Pinkerton agents to retrieve prerelease merch from YouTuber Dan "oldschoolmtg" Cannon, who accidentally acquired March of the Machine: Aftermath boxes over a month and a half before retail street date. The Pinkerton Detective Agency was hired to retrieve the allegedly stolen goods, and somewhere between $2,200-$4,400 worth of cards were confiscated. There’s a lot of drama and confusion over what actually happened here.
- Modiphius, probably most well-known for having the license to “Star Trek” and “Dune” RPGs, is releasing a new "original" setting called “Dreams and Machines.” Set on the planet of Evera Prime, which is cut-off from Earth, players attempt to rebuild the human colonies after they were devastated by deadly mechs called Wakers. Using scraps from the advanced technology left by the Wakers, humans have developed their own cultures and factions, such as the Archivists, Dreamers, and Spears. We talk a little about how, for an original setting, it sure feels a lot like a loose adaptation of the Butlerian Jihad from “Dune.”
- Lastly, we have a Kickstarter for a 5e fishing "DLC" called "Why Slay Dragons: When You Could Be Fishing." This super-detailed and cool game already has a 35-page sample available on the Kickstarter page and was funded in just 5 minutes. Currently, it's 10x its original funding amount, so this game is coming out with quite a few stretch goal goodies. It looks like so much fun – check it out.
- Finally – again – don't forget to check out the Spring Sale on the Big Cartel store, where most things are 10 percent off. Use code "GRAVYBOAT" for free shipping and grab some shirt designs before they’re gone forever, and load up on some awesome indie RPGs from their friend Cezar Capacle.
