It’s the last RPG newsletter of November, and we’re entering the final month of 2025. Wow.

Let’s not get ahead of ourselves, though. Here’s the TTRPG summary of summaries.
- After the failure of Bloodlines 2, Paradox Interactive is reconsidering the World of Darkness.
- Animation studio Titmouse, famous for Critical Role deals, sets a release date for Drunkards, Druggies & Delinquents.
- There are lots of Black Friday/Cyber Monday TTRPG offers, including this Cyberpunk one from Dark Horse.
- It’s Dragonmeet weekend.
If you’re an awesome Geek Native Patron, there’s still time to vote in the RPG Publisher Spotlight and pick the final publisher to feature on the site this year.
We’re nearly through the sale madness — and nearly into the Yuletide replacement sale madness.
First, though, here’s a plug for the Geek Native store that we hardly ever mention!
And now, the Routinely Itemised TTRPG news.
Spotlight: Eric Bleney.
