In Episode 193 of the Polyhedron Collider Cast, the boys from PHC dive into another round of board game and tabletop RPG reviews. Andy has been to Scotland, and while washing down yet another square slice with a can of Irn Bru he got a good look at Call of Cthulhu: Old Ones Origins, the remake of Forbidden Stars coming from Chaosium. We then have an upfront look of All's Well that Ends, a new Gloomhaven-esque fantasy battler that got our wallets worried at UK Games Expo. We then hit a couple of lighter games from our friends at Hatchette, with reviews of Space Lab, Akropolis: Athena, and Akropolis: Pantheon. To round things off, we don our spandex and become superheroes in Invincible – Superhero Roleplaying, the latest TTRPG from Free Leaugue. As always, expect tabletop game reviews, arguments about custard, strong opinions and the usual Polyhedron Collider nonsense as the boys work their way through another stack of cardboard and dice.

Send us Fan MailYHIHL S4E17Let's start off with some news that made me give an audible “Ohhh!”Renegade Games Studios has announced they will be launching Ann Rice's Immortal Universe Roleplaying Game later this year through Backerkit.https://www.enworld.org/threads/anne-rices-supernatural-world-is-coming-to-a-ttrpg-near-you.719998/That was one of those announcements that had me at hello.I am a huge fan of the Ann Rice novels. I'm typically not a fan of sparkly vampires, but when I first picked up a copy of Interview with a Vampire in college, I was hooked. I dove into The Vampire Lestat, Queen of the Damned, The Tale of the Body Thief and then really enjoyed the Mayfair Witches. I pretty much trailed off after that; I have always had a soft spot for those books. This is one of the IPs that I never really thought of, but as soon as I read it, I realized it was just spec written for modern roleplaying.Christina, I know you are a big fan of the urban fantasy, vampire stuff. What's your take on this announcement?Kick to ChristinaMike, Vampire the Masquerade is a game you love, does this announcement tickly your fancy?Kick to MikeIn another interesting bit of news, Chaosium just unveiled a new source book for Call of Cthulhu.

Things just keep getting worse as the group continues exploring the old administrator's building and discovers things that they absolutely didn't want to see.  An inter-group conflict erupts and someone walks away from it with a big, fat shiner!  If that wasn't bad enough, though, they end up going into that friggin' hospital after all and that's when it all goes downhill fast.Episode 6/9Content Warnings: Adult Language, Adult Situations, Alcohol/Drug Use, Icky Stuff (bodies, bugs, rot), Profanity, ViolenceKeeper of Arcane Lore is RoyEnoch Eakins is JohnHyun Ku is AmesMarco Proudfoot is ObieCorinna Trench is SteveThis actual play recording of Viral is a Real Play Games Podcast production.  Call of Cthulhu® is a registered trademark of Chaosium, Inc.

Now that a member of the Phantom Posse has shown up, things are very clearly getting out of hand, and some of the information that the team's recovered points towards an even darker situation.  They should just get out of there, right?  That's what smart people would've done, but no, instead, they decide to go poking around in the administrator's home.  Surely nothing bad can happen there!Episode 5/9Content Warnings: Adult Language, Adult Situations, Alcohol/Drug Use, Icky Stuff (rot), ProfanityKeeper of Arcane Lore is RoyEnoch Eakins is JohnHyun Ku is AmesMarco Proudfoot is ObieCorinna Trench is SteveThis actual play recording of Viral is a Real Play Games Podcast production.  Call of Cthulhu® is a registered trademark of Chaosium, Inc.

Send us Fan MailWelcome to you heard it here last where we talk about news, you've already heard.Our first news article is going to kill two birds with one stone.https://ttrpgfans.com/origins-awards/The Origins Awards winners were announced at this years Origins convention that was held in Colombus Ohio June 17th through the 21st. The Origins Awards are an annual award that recognizes excellence in the tabletop gaming industry, including board games, card games, miniatures and roleplaying games. First presented in 1975 at the inaugural Origins Game Fair in Baltimore, the awards are currently managed by the Game Manufacturers Association or GAMA.The winner of the Roleplaying Game of the Year is the Land of Eem Deluxe Box Set by Exalted Funeral. Notably, Land of Eem is a rules-light TTRPG created by authors Ben Costa and James Parks (and based on their Rickety Stitch and the Gelatinous Goo graphic novels). It's described as a lighthearted blend of Lord of the Rings and The Muppets, with a dash of Adventure Time thrown in for good measure.The Winner of the Roleplaying Supplement of the Year is Call of Cthulhu: The Sutra of Pale Leaves – Twin Suns Rising from Chaosium.The Sutra of Pale Leaves – Twin Suns Rising is a campaign supplement for the Call of Cthulhu RPG, set in 1980s Japan. It reimagines the iconic King in Yellow mythos by having a lost, ancient scroll resurface with ties to a sinister entity. The book features three interconnected scenarios and, in addition to featuring many of the familiar Lovecraftian tropes, also explores the unique cultural and historical setting (which is a radical departure from the traditional 1920s setting of New England).But before we dive into the winners and the long list of nominees, Dr. Christina attended Origins this year. Christina, how was the convention this year?[Kick to Christina]Mike, any thoughts on this year's winners[Kick to Mike]Christina, what about you, thoughts on the 2026 Origin Awards Winners?[Kick to Christina]Our next news item will make Dr. Christina very excited.https://ttrpgfans.com/masks-a-new-generation-rpg-second-edition/Ten Years ago, Magpie Games released Masks: A New Generation, the ENNIE award-winning tabletop RPG of teenaged angst and superhero action.Now, after more than a decade, Magpie has officially unveiled details for a new Masks Second Edition.

Chaosium has re-released the free quickstart PDF for its new RPG, Time Without Tide, to remove unwanted AI-generated image descriptions that were automatically added by Adobe software without the publisher’s consent. This issue, which was also encountered by Evil Hat with their game Umdaar: Planet of Swords, Super-Science, and Sorcery, highlights growing industry opposition to AI-generated content in tabletop gaming, as many publishers continue to champion human creativity. The miniature skirmish game Mutant Chronicles: Warzone Eternal is entering a new phase under Trans Atlantis Games. This initiative brings the title into the modern era with new STLs, free downloadable rules, and three new units, all of which are currently available on MyMiniFactory. The transition involves a partnership where Trans Atlantis Games takes over the ongoing publication and distribution of the game, aiming to expand its reach and support beyond a “boutique” release. Mongoose Publishing has launched Singularity, an expansive 608-page mega-campaign for Traveller 2nd Edition. This three-book set, now available on DriveThruRPG, departs from traditional Traveller tropes by focusing on godlike alien intelligences and galaxy-shattering technology within a post-humanistic narrative. The campaign is designed for high-end play and challenges players to make impactful decisions that can fundamentally reshape the Traveller universe. Strange Stories is an upcoming rules-light horror TTRPG developed by the team behind the HP Lovecraft Literary Podcast. Designed for single-session play, the system features pregenerated characters and an innovative audio adventure companion that allows the Story Guide to prepare for a session by listening to a short podcast. The game aims to be an accessible “gateway” experience, allowing groups, even those with no previous RPG experience, to start playing quickly with minimal setup. #chaosium #warzoneeternal #travellerrpg #strangestories Warzone Eternal Frontier: https://www.myminifactory.com/frontier/warzone-eternal-5721 Singularity for Traveller: https://www.mongoosepublishing.com/products/singularity Strange Stories on Backerkit: https://www.backerkit.com/call_to_action/ed994b09-71cf-4128-88bc-e45f89cf7d1b/landing Mantic Companion App: https://companion.manticgames.com/ Use our Referral code: MCTXEE Support Us by Shopping on DTRPG (afilliate link): https://www.drivethrurpg.com?affiliate_id=2081746 Matt’s DriveThruRPG Publications: https://www.drivethrurpg.com/browse.php?author=Matthew%20Robinson https://substack.com/@matthewrobinson3 Chris on social media: https://hyvemynd.itch.io/​​ Jeremy's Links: http://www.abusecartoons.com/​​ http://www.rcharvey.com ​​Support Us on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/upturnedtable Give us a tip on our livestream: https://streamlabs.com/upturnedtabletop/tip​ Donate or give us a tip on Paypal: https://www.paypal.com/ncp/payment/2754JZFW2QZU4 Intro song is “Chips” by KokoroNoMe https://kokoronome.bandcamp.com/

What does it take to build a tabletop RPG from the ground up? This episode, we're joined by Jared Twing, creator of Of Hearth and the Harrowing, to talk about his journey from an AD&D kid to a professional RPG writer and, ultimately, an independent game designer.We discuss his years writing for Chaosium and other publishers, why he chose the BRP system as the foundation for his game, and how influences ranging from OSR sandboxes to survival games helped shape a fantasy survival horror RPG centered on exploration, community building, and carving hope from a ruined world. Along the way, we also dive into RPG layout, art direction, publishing realities, RuneQuest, Glorantha, convention life, and the many hats an indie creator has to wear once the writing is finished.If you're interested in game design, indie publishing, or discovering a new BRP powered fantasy RPG, this is a conversation you won't want to miss.You can find Of Hearth and the Harrowing by following this link:https://www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/560267/of-hearth-the-harrowingEmail us at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠titterpigspod@gmail.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ with your comments, questions, or soundbites.Episode intro by the one and only, Dr. Mitch.
