This week’s issue is a bit shorter than usual as I just got back from vacation with my family. I spent most of my time catching up on reading and sitting at the beach; a nice change from the fairly chilly climate in Indiana. But there’s still some news for you to review.

Modiphius Announces New Vegas, California Setting Guides for Fallout TTRPG

Modiphius Entertainment announced plans to bring new post-apocalyptic storytelling content to the table with two new guides about the Fallout universe.

The company announced on Thursday that it is releasing two new setting guides for the Fallout TTRPG. In April 2026, it is opening preorders for a New Vegas setting guide. This book will help players explore the updated Vegas setting that was featured in Fallout: New Vegas and Fallout Season 2. It will significantly expand the storytelling opportunities that Royal Flush, the campaign it released earlier this year, offers players.

That release will be followed by a second setting guide focused on New California, where the original Fallout game took place. Players will get new traits and tools to explore the region while also getting an opportunity to fight the Master, learn psychic powers and maybe even become a first-generation Super Mutant. The New California book will release later in 2026.

Modiphius also mentioned plans to release setting guides for the Capital Wasteland, the Boston Commonwealth, and the Appalachian Mountains in 2027.

Brennan Lee Mulligan and Company Run for City Council in Vampire-Themed Campaign

Dropout’s Dimension 20 announced its upcoming season; City Council of Darkness. The game will focus on a smaller town where a new coterie of vampires have to rise to power.

AKA It’s Dimension 20: Vampire the Masquerade edition. D20 has historically only played D&D 5e and a modified version of the Kids With Bikes ruleset, so this is an interesting turn. It’s very contrary to how most people play VTM (myself included) but it should make for some delightful content.

The big news for us was the unveiling of The Division’s TTRPG, which is being made through a partnership between Ubisoft and Arkhane Asylum. I spoke with one of the guys making the game.
