DTRPG/Roll20 are shaking up their “best sellers” list with a new approach this year. Dream Realm Storytellers are making the leap from tabletop to digital, with a deal to turn their 5e Svilland setting into a computer game. For fans of classic games, QuasiReal Publishing is releasing a new edition of Mythcraft. And finally, Modiphius is giving players an inside look at the development of their Might and Magic TTRPG with a dev diary.
