Welcome Back to the Table! This week we’re taking a fast trip through some of the biggest stories moving through the TTRPG community right now. From major changes behind the scenes at some of the hobby’s biggest companies, including Hasbro, Renegade, Paizo, and White Wolf, to upcoming new games, shifting business models, rising costs, and a few developments that could reshape what ends up at our tables next, there’s a lot to talk about. We’ve got six stories, plenty of questions, and more than a few reasons to keep an eye on where the industry is headed.

Welcome back to the table! We have a full studio of Malcolm, Arcadia, Tori, and Jess for an experiment in collaborative creation: The Atorian Forge. There are no prepared characters, adventures, or worlds waiting for them—only a randomizer, a handful of creative ingredients, and whatever the four of them can hammer into existence.

The process is simple: first, the Forge decides what we're building. Then comes the Spark, the first piece of raw material; the Heat, a condition that begins shaping the idea; and finally the Hammer, a complication designed to disrupt everything the table thought it was creating. The result is part worldbuilding exercise, part improv, and part creative challenge—and a process you can steal, modify, and bring to your own gaming table. Fire up the forge and come find out what we make. Tell us what you think of the Nation of Doggelund and the Mysterious Priest Lord Kirk Ole!!

Every giant monster has to start somewhere. This week, Arcadia and Malcolm return to Leviathan Rising with one goal: create a brand-new kaiju that could be dropped into a game. What starts as a conversation about what makes a good giant monster quickly turns into questions about biology, motivation, environment, vulnerabilities, and just how much trouble one very large creature can cause. But creating a memorable kaiju is about more than deciding how big it is or what it can smash—it needs a reason to exist, something it wants, and ways for the player characters to actually interact with the threat it creates. So pull up a chair and join us as we start with a blank page, follow some wonderfully strange ideas wherever they lead, and discover just what kind of monster is waiting for us at the end.

A Quick Note: WordLeaf Media, the parent company of Finding Atoria, is currently working with OddFish Games to help create the Leviathan Rising Player’s Manual. We’re excited to be involved with the project, but as always, the thoughts, opinions, and questionable decisions you hear around the Finding Atoria table are our own.
